Invisible
There's something very appealing about libraries. No matter if it's inside a university campus, downtown or across the country, they're some sort of similar space where imposed peace and common goals are met. It's a place where you immediately know you must keep quiet, even if it's the first time you visit one because somehow, you just know you gotta be respectful of the knowledge being acquired and preserved there. And it doesn't matter if it's big and renowned or small and abandoned, they're kind of the same breed. I like the solitude I can achieve because it doesn't matter if it's completely empty or somewhat full (for I have never seen one so filled with people one could not enter) everyone seems to mind their own business, and everyone gets that one's not to be disturbed. And what fascinates me the most is that despite all this solemn feeling in the air that you can practically touch while being inside a library, you can see all this life just happening all around you.

CINDERELLA WILLIAMS How can two sex sites look so eerily similar? My trolling for subsequent sex sites was uncanny. The following site I stumbled upon was a carbon copy of the first. Many models had either left the previous site to join the new one or joined both. Each website was comparable to the treatment of their clients. Chat for fifteen minutes and cut off, never to see them again. Of course, the model answered none of my questions and real names? Strictly taboo.

Falling for my creative match
I had met my match in the most unlikely of people. On face value, we were completely unmatchable: I was educated, thoughtful, seen as selfless, and family oriented. He was the opposite. His looks were grungy and careless, whereas I was polished, smart and sophisticated. There was one thing that we had in common: a creative drive and passion for what we did, although it manifested itself in different forms.

High Speed Date
At the beginning of the day if you would have told me that I would currently be gripping the handlebar of a car for dear life I would have told you that sounds like the plot for a good story. Situations never seem as scary until you experience them. With every acceleration, I could feel the sole of my shoe pressing deeper into the floor mat of the car.
