Memoir
Large and In Charge

Chapter of My Life
Life on campus was a simple affair for someone like me, born into a modest family. Yet, within the humble surroundings of my dorm room, a fierce determination burned within me. It was a resolve to emulate the girl in the room next door – the one who seemed to effortlessly possess both beauty and intellect. However, my brain, it appeared, was an uncooperative partner in this endeavor. It would sulk whenever I attempted to study, displaying a stubborn streak that rejected my every effort.

French Kiss Chapter 14 Hair
I nestled in Frédéric’s embrace at Paris Charles de Gaulle airport, the cacophony of travelers’ voices, loudspeakers, and the squeaky wheels of dragged luggage fading as I tucked my head beneath his chin, willing his pulse to sync with mine, pretending I was breathing life into the cells he had dispatched against the cancer.

Riotous Ruin
The slam of the steel door shattered the solace of silence. The buzz of the locking mechanism cycling closed left me assured that I was secured in my classroom. The meticulously placed posters on the walls did their best to mask the institutionalized feeling of the cinder blocks, but a prison is still a prison--no matter how well you decorate.

The Night I Lost My Virginity
You have made it this far, so you deserve to know more. I have promised myself that any embarrassing moment I felt did not paint me in a positive light would be considered carefully…and then thrown into the pot. And why not?

From the loneliest basement dweller to the most desperate housewife flipping through a Harlequin romance, it is on all of our minds. And this might offer some insight on how to get more of it in one’s own life and to actually enjoy it.
