humanity
For better or for worse, relationships reveal the core of the human condition.
The Tongue is Like a Knife
On October 10, 2012, a fifteen year old girl succumbed to depression after months after being bullied. Amanda Todd attended CABE Secondary school in Coquitlam, British Columbia, and remains one of the most well-known victims of cyberbullying in the twenty first century. Her death sparked controversy for a short time before it was forgotten about like anything else. Some people reckon it's better to ignore than to speak up about injustice. The thing is, to ignore is to be complacent.

I Wish I Could Feel Your Pain
My dearest friend, This is going to be so hard for me to write, and part of me hopes you never find this piece. But after you shut me out for the fifth time, I can no longer hold it in. I'm writing because I know I would never win in a verbal discussion with you, for you see, to me it has always been a heart-to-heart conversation, but to you, it is an argument you need to win.

Thank You
To Whom This May Concern, There are several people that I should thank for the way I turned out. Most importantly, though, I need to thank my mom. My mom has always been a strong woman for as long as I can remember. She has had her weak moments like any human but she always got up, dusted herself off, and moved forward gracefully.

The Mother of Wisdom
Heresy! Heresy! All rise in the honor of the honorable. This is a town that if you google, it is known for the history of cotton being pushed like gate way drugs at the project store. Where I caught my first charge for illegal substances that wasn’t all mine at the age of 17. The home of Jesse Washington, who was drug, hung and castrated like the cattle that those famous ox tails are carinated from. In front of 10,000 people and ceremonial paraded through the town. Stretched through time being stabbed and beaten in front of the city hall on May 15th, 1916, at the age of 17.

Children of the Sun
It's like this, she decides. When the sun is gone the mountains loom black, the rounded shoulders of giants. Birds twitter drowsy night songs among the slither-whisper of dense leaf-clusters in the trees. The cries of beasts sound in the distance as some, fierce and terrifying, become active to hunt the darkness. But the grunts, squeals, and whinnies are less frequent than during the day, punctuated with screams of life and death struggle.

Cowboy had a face that looked like the sea had smoothed it over. He came into the cafe and waited while I ordered. “I’m a kung fu master,” he told me in a voice that sounded like gravel and cigarettes, “but these days I just teach the little ones, the women, the kids.”
