That's a Hard Pass For Me, Bro.
He's been acting strange. I noticed he's been more secretive than normal. He is always working late; says he's got car trouble. Something's not right here. I try to brush it off, it is probably all in my head as he tells me so often.

Impost Syndrome
My whole life all I've wanted was to express my creativity and skill. I thought I was good when I was about eleven. Good enough that my sister stole my artwork and tried to pass it off as her own. My father was an artist. So was my mom- sort of. I loved to draw, I loved to write and I loved to make things with my hands.

If Not For Me
I went to the ER last night. I definitely thought I was having kidney failure of some sort. It seemed so sudden that I was encased with horrific back pain and abdominal distress. I felt nauseous. I was crying, which is rare for me, the only times I've cried before this for pain was when I gave birth to my now three-year-old and when I was a teen and my menstrual cramps would be so bad that I would almost pass out from them.

Almost a Forest
I love to hear the pine-needles whisper among the wind. When the sun sets the trees blacken against the painted sky or crimson and orange. These are the same trees I grew up with. Echoes of laughter pour in from years long past. Time spent out among this yard, encompassed by its trees, comes flooding back into my mind's eye.

I'm Incurable
If you've read my other story, you know all about 'B'. I'm going to continue with keeping the names obscure because it's safer that way. Now, B and I, at this point, have been split for about six months. We're into May, now. I went on an awesome date with this guy named K.

If Only I Was a Seer
It was 2016 and I was being promoted at work. I can't disclose business names or anything, but we will call the place 'W'. At W I was to become a bakery manager and I was excited to work in bakery. Quickly upon starting the training for my new job, I was informed that I was to be a Bakery and a Deli manager. Two departments for the same amount of pay. This did not sit well with me as I despised everything to do with the Deli department.
