The Art of Living Together
I remember when I was nine or 10 and I came home from camp to find that I finally had my own room. I broke down into tears out of pure joy. Finally, after roughly seven years, I wouldn't have to share a room with my sister anymore. Having my own space was its own kind of bliss. No more were the late nights because Ella would be up and about. No more having to agree on movies. No more having to go to bed early because she didn't want the lights on while I read and she tried to sleep.

I'm Here, I'm Queer. I Write Poetry
From as long as I can remember, I have been writing. Be it short stories, attempts at full blown novels, lyrics or prose, my pen has always found its way to flowing my inner emotions out on to paper. This last year, however, has been the most poignant when it comes to the effect that writing has had on my life.

Quiet Places
Alone It is undoubtedly in the quiet places that we are the most honest with ourselves. It is in the quiet places that we lose ourselves, we find ourselves, and we step into ourselves. It is a big step, I know, you have to gather yourself up from wherever you were, pull your energy back from whoever you were with, and swim in it. Drown in it. Because of this, people become codependent. They see themselves standing alone in a quiet place and they don’t like what they see, they don’t like what they will think. They don’t want to be alone, it’s too overwhelming a thought. So they deny it, wholeheartedly.

A Fling Thing
As a freshman in college, you do everything to blend in. I didn’t know anybody back then. Our place was 50 miles away from home, far from the city that I used to grow up with.

Cute Relationship Goals for Every Couple
Being in love is truly the best feeling in the world. There's someone who understands you from the inside and out, loves all of your flaws, finds you to be hilarious, compliments you every five minutes, and overall enjoys being around and loving you. Even though the two of you are a couple, it feels like you're one being. From the emotions you two share to the same shows you guys are constantly watching together, nearly doing everything together binds the souls together into one emotion.

Finding a Mate
Everyone dreams of finding someone, and falling in love, and getting married (well, at least I do), and they want the babies-in-the-cradle type of life. Well, that is getting harder and harder to find in this day and age.

Dear You, with Love, Me
Dear You, I'm writing to you a letter I will never send, a letter you will never read. We started of as strangers, then we became friends, then we became that something else. Now this begs the question, what are we?

Be You
Thank you for making me smile every day and loving me along the way. Thank you for being a true and trusted friend. Most of all just thank you for you. Some people come into our life for a moment, some people stay for a lifetime, either way a footprint on my heart was left...thank you for the mark you left on me. I wish I could tell someone how thankful I am for them because they helped me smile through the tears when I was falling apart. Thank you. I know that no matter how much money I get in this lifetime, no matter how famous I get, no matter what happens in my life I will never be truly able to pay you back for a tenth of what you’ve done for me yet alone to show you what you mean to me whether that’s in words or in actions. So, I guess for now, until I find a better way to show you what you mean to me, this is a reminder of one thing I want you to always remember. Just be yourself. You simply being you for the last few years have turned me into the person I am today.

Lucky Ones
Running, running, running. People fly past me in a blur. My black curls cascading out behind me. There's almost an excitement that entices you to feel as though you are a child running from the monsters in your nightmares. Although for me now, those monsters are very real. The only difference is that it's in the shape of a Dictator. I can see the blurred outlines of Swatikas on the uniforms of Aryan children. However, I am not considered an Aryan, despite what it may say on my papers. Does loving an Aryan count for anything? And he loves me? I can't focus on what is soon to be behind me.
