I'm not the main character. I'm not the hero or the villain. I'm not the good girl nor the mean girl. I'm just me, a follower, a member of a club I do not belong to. Every day I stand and smile behind her while she wreaks havoc.
I give her a drink when she's thirsty, I go wherever she goes, I act dumb to make her look smart and I'm just an artefact in her everyday life, her support while she puts the good girl through hell.
An extension of her that the good girl could hate. Completely useless after the mean girl is defeated. Only he saw me for who I was, only he recognized me as a person and not an extension of her.
He smiled at me, he spoke to me, he admired me and best of all, he loved me but she took him away from me too. She told me it wasn't my place, it wasn't my story. I didn't get to be a main character, I was meant to be in the shadows.
Some wonder why I'm still here, the truth is there's nowhere else to go. I'm just a piece of the story, part of the journey, a sidekick. I'm not the good guy nor the villain, I'm just me and that doesn't make for a good story.

Trapped
You're coming. I can hear your footsteps as you move up the stairs, a constant but graceful beat. Gagged and cuffed to the table, my heart beat partly in trepidation and excitement as I awaited my doom. The room becomes smaller and the air doesn't feel like air anymore as you enter the room, your presence filling up every nook and cranny.

Biblical event or just a ‘blind’ coincidence sealing our fate? Part 3/
The Circle of Ideas and Principles . In my own words, when I think about truth, I keep asking myself whether it’s absolute, relative, or layered, and whether intuition and science can both guide me toward it, even when truth hides inside metaphor or mysticism.

I Don't Need My Phone... Wait, Is That Actually True?
My parents gave me my first cell phone when I was twelve years old. It wasn't a fancy iPhone or anything, not even close. Just a simple black flip phone for when I needed to call or text them after school.
