To Geo-,

I don’t even know where to begin – I don’t want to even be writing this right now. I have too many things to do. I am so angry with you. Why do you lie to me? Why do you hide things from me? You think of me when you make the decisions you make […]

The First American

I met a man years ago in college who had recently immigrated to America from Kuwait. He was Lebanese and I learned about his life story, his religion, and his dream to be a writer. I was his first American friend. He has since moved onward in his goals, but left behind a poem for […]

Journal 80

Journal 75

My first thought was to write that today was a bad day, because I am feeling bad right now and need someone to cry on. But, the day was decent. I have a new friend that joined the D&D group. Being the host, as I typically do, I go out of my way to make […]
