A Letter to 15 Year Old Me: 15 Years Later. Top Story - December 2022.
Hi Kelsey, I realize that these types of exercises are usually for the purposes of attracting other readers for the sake of "relatability." You and I both know that we are only "relatable" to a minority of people. I know that you have always felt like an outsider, you were never given any clear answers as to why that is. You just know that whatever you were getting bullied for is a bullshit reason. Your classmates will make up EVERY excuse in the book as to why that was; they will claim ignorance, the stupidity of youth, whatever the excuse of the week happens to be.

Gray Area
Yo. Twisted area. Go and shake that thing. Let us get down in the dawn of a new time and era. No matter what anybody says or thinks. Can you handle that? I think that you can. In the middle of a time frame or parallel universe. Shakespeare knew what he was talking about when he cut off mona lisas' ear. It is all gray. There is no black or white.

A-Living
We drove up the snowy, winding road towards the cozy A-Frame Cabin. I started to chuck on the inside. My boyfriend Nick asked me what was so funny. Do you not like the place Cassie? Of course I do babe, It’s perfect! We on some A-living shit right? I chuckled again and smiled as a symbol of agreement. He slowed down then parked on the side closer to the far right of the cabin. Don’t want to block our view with this shabby car, he said as he looked at me nervous. I smiled at him and reached for his face while gazing in his eyes to give him reassurance, this is perfect babe. I could tell my comment was validating and a calmness came over him. He grabbed my hand and kissed it, Thank you babe. Okay so let’s go, he said as he opened the door with excitement.

'Get the Guy', 'Make Him Yours' and Other Propaganda
As a teen raised on Disney fairytales and Hollywood romcoms, I always dreamt of meeting the one. The perfect partner that ticks off all of my boxes and matches me like a piece of a puzzle. Someone I'd feel we were meant to be together with and will live happily ever after.

Christmas a different perspective
Christmas began to focus on Jesus This is not a religious post but one based on fact. Christmas or rather Christ's Mass began when Christians decided they would force pagans to stop their heathen celebration of the Winter Solstice. They came up with the idea to choose December 25th to observe the birth of Jesus so the orgies and drunken parties would stop. Over time people began saying Christ was born on December 25 but that is in error.

The Doctor That saved my life
I first met Dr. George Coleman in September 2020 during a chaotic pandemic that confused the whole world. Prior to my employment with the company, he had gone through a series of nurses, & just like that, he had another name to remember. At the time, I think it was a running joke that he shouldn’t even try to remember a nurse’s name until she had been employed for at least three months. (Needless to say, I passed the test. Year 3 is loading…).

My boss is a peace of shit
Do you ever just try so hard, and it’s never good enough ? This is that story. My boss seems to lack personal understanding, but I mean I guess all bosses do, maybe? They are usually power hungry people with nothing better to do but to make someone feel worthless. How can I blame them anyway ? They lack some sort of intelligence, or their ego has grown immensely since they don’t know any better. Either way we can all agree it’s wrong, right ? Or am I crazy ?

Some More Thoughts On My Writing Difficulties
Introduction Although I publish a lot on Vocal I do have difficulties in writing, and this generates a lot of anxiety in me. I am lucky enough to be able to pull ideas and subjects almost out of the ether, to actually create a Vocal story, while I never seem to hit a writer's block I do seem to continually have the anxiety that goes with that.
