Dear God, sorry it’s been a while. I’m not really good at this prayer thing. Jesus camp kind of ruined the whole “benevolent guy in the sky” idea for me when I found out about hell and how I was most definitely going there if I wasn’t “saved”. And how that mass murder had a one-way ticket to heaven because he found you in prison. I guess serial killing is okay, but being an incredulous kid isn’t. Six-year-old me still has nightmares of being shamed in congregation, but I’m desperate. Can you still hear me? Have you ever?

Puberty Has Colonized My Land
The mirror’s function is pretty simple. It’s supposed to reflect who you are. But mine never has. My breasts extrude like peaks and valleys on a foreign landscape. Puberty has colonized my land, and my invaders refuse to retreat. They bring their arms to my body each month and are not satisfied until blood is shed. It is an unwinnable war, and all I want to do is wave my white flag in surrender. Or return my mirror. It has never reflected who I really am, and I fear it never will.

Garden Secrets:
Step 1: The most important part to planting fruit trees is selecting the correct placement. Will the area be watered well in the summer months? Will fall rains drown the vegetation and turn it to a marsh? How is the soil? Is it sandy or clay? The clay is hardest to dig, and often not worth the effort. And while sand is easy to dig, it drains water quickly. If you are in luck, you will have a nice dark rich soil that is easy enough to dig through. To test an area take your spade and dig down a couple of feet. If you don't have a suitable spot, you can make your own soil mix to replace what you remove and till the surface area.
