Dear America
Dear America, I carry a heavy heart as I write to tell you that, sadly, this partnership has undoubtedly come to an end. I wish I could give you the comfort of saying , it's not you it's me. However, it is definitely YOU. When I look back to the beginning, my heart aches for that which could have been, for now all that remains is anger, frustration, broken hearts and lives lost.

The Real Monster
When I was six years old, I was convinced there was a creature in my closet. Staring into the dark abyss between its two folding doors, I imagined the monster taking many different forms. First it was a werewolf, then a swamp monster, then a vampire. Its goal was to torment me or worse, take me away from my family. It was there. I was sure of it. And yet when I called out to be rescued by my father and he courageously flicked on the closet light, I realized what many people don’t until later in their lives; that the dark creature had never lived inside my closet. The only monster that had ever existed in my bedroom was inside my mind. I had been betrayed by my very own brain. For twenty-four years since that moment, I have held back the urge to climb on to my roof and share my discovery with every soul in earshot. “FEAR,” I’d scream, “IS A LIAR.”

Black Lives Matter
Let me preface this article by saying I in no way think this is going to change anything. I know one person alone isn't going to change the world, and I know it's going to take a lot more than me writing an article about how I feel about the black lives matter movement. But what I have to say needs to be said, and it needs to be said by a lot of people to make a difference.
