Tuxedos are Sexy
This is love. She rubs her face against mine. The perfect date. Dressed to impress, a tux is always sexy. She tries to provide for me, she knows I am a lousy hunter. She is spontaneous- creating a dinner date by leaving me food on the porch. This is love.

The Memory Keeper. Honorable Mention in The Moment That Changed Everything Challenge.
When you are twelve, the death of parent is a life altering, world-shattering event. One could argue, that at any age the death of a parent can be devastating, but when you are twelve it is bigger somehow. Or at least it felt that way to me. The poem that follows captures a difficult time in my life. When I was ten years old my father was diagnosed with ALS, a disease with no cure, and when I was twelve, he died. I spent two years pretending like it wasn't happening. ALS is not easy to diagnose so, they weren't sure. At ten I decided that it wasn't that horrible disease, and I kept right on thinking that until he died. A part of me died that day as well.

Finding Katie's Story
Hello vocal peeps, Katie here. This is my writing blog as promised. Granted, I planned on to post it a week after the last one, but I lolly gagged. That being said, I am posting now, and that counts. I said every two weeks I did not specify when I would start these posts so, it's all good. Right? Right!

My Toxic Brain Dance
Have you ever had a moment in your life where you look around and wonder how the hell you ended up here, in the grand daddy of all slumps and going nowhere? You're standing on a path that seems go on and on and has no end. It’s been coming on for a while, but that is where I find myself. I am adrift in a sea of suckadoodle and mediocrity just treading water.

Chalk is Cheap
When you are depressed, you feel like one of the Lilliputians. You feel six inches tall, but instead of trapping Gulliver- you feel trapped. You are bogged down by your own thoughts and feelings, and it is hard to break free. There are moments when you think that it would all be easier if you just didn’t exist. If you killed yourself all the strife of the world would fade away. You wouldn’t have to feel like you don’t matter, you wouldn’t have to force yourself to get up in the morning and go through the motions. It would be so easy.
