As I look at this blank screen
My brain wonders
Will this be it? Will this be the start of something new?
My heart beats rapidly but my brain is cautious.
So many times i've tried...
To eat from the forbidden fruit that is fame.
Why?
Maybe because i don't want to worry anymore.
About eating
or suffering
I can just be....me.
I can laugh without fear
Smile without worry.
To me
Life without money is fear and worry.
Life without money is sleepless nights worried that your whole world will end in a moment,
Without money there is fear.
So i'm here.
Trying to taste that apple of success.
Whether this is it or not
Without a second thought
I'm try my very best.

Feelings Never Die
It is Valentine's Day again, and it bought back memories that were over fifty years old. It bought me back to 1971, and I woke up and I knew my baby was due today. I was big and pregnant, and I felt like I was about to burst wide open. Imagine my surprise when the doctor told my I had a due date of February 14. I couldn't believe it, and since my baby was due today, I felt I could indulge myself a bit. I had gained a lot of weight, and chocolate was on the no-no list, but I had came to the end of this pregnancy, and I hoped it would be okay, after all I would deliver this baby today. So I walked across the street to the grocery story, and bought myself, a peppermint patty, covered in chocolate, my favorite. Me and my Valentine's baby would enjoy it together.

Book Review: Atmosphere by Taylor Jenkins Reid
I flipped the book over in my hands in the centre of the small airport book shop. Although I had heard promising reviews of Atmosphere by Taylor Jenkins Reid, I hesitated. The synopsis didn’t compel me - I wasn’t much of a space girly. In high school it made me cringe when my peers would talk about the stars.
