Love
Sky High
Five years ago today, at almost one o'clock in the afternoon, 28-year-old Jonah Makes Peace grew up. On that day he had been sitting casually with his partner on an iron beam some twelve stories up, eating his lunch and talking about the rowdy weekend they were planning with their girlfriends, when he had been ordered to the site office. He remembered his surprise and the feeling of unease as he and his partner had made their way down. Instinctively he had known this wasn't going to be good. They would never have hauled him down without there being a serious reason.

Lipstick-Stained Letters
I have written too many letters. The reason for the abundance of nonsensical letters is the very fact that I couldn’t manage to say the words I wanted to be heard when I last saw you. When I'd tried to say them out loud, my vocal cords constricted, and I fumbled. It's easier to write them. I hope that my messages are clear.

Sweet Heaven
“Oh, God!” Megan's prayer was heartfelt as she stared into the mirror, pinching her already pink cheeks with trembling fingers and debating feverishly if a few swipes of mascara wouldn't be appropriate. Should she change into a clean pair of slacks, or a skirt, or stay in her old jeans and t-shirt? Should she put her hair up or leave it down? A part of her mind, the more mature part, was wondering exasperatedly what in the name of heaven was wrong with her. Here she was, a woman grown, still acting like a swooning girl over someone who should be like a brother to her.

The love from a small town
Every morning, I walked to the café for my latte and a glimpse of him. He was a sight to see with my morning coffee. The day's I missed him in the morning, and I would see him later that day. But I could not go a day without seeing him. The smile across his face made my day. I would dream the rest of the day about his smile.

Show Me How to Love
When you hear the words I love you, what comes to mind? For me, of course in my opinion, the words I love you are meaningless unless proven otherwise with actions. If their actions don’t match up to their words then what will you believe? I was quite young, around the age of 15, when this question first came up to my mind especially living in the type of family situation for all of my childhood. I had picked up and noticed how, in many occasions, someone would say I love you but then you turn around and they would hit you with something that you could never guess would ever be used to hit someone. So most times when I would hear the words I love you, I knew that right behind that I would get punished for something I didn’t do. They would come home at night after a day of work and my first question would be are they angry?
