The voice of the people (me in my chemistry lecture) has been silenced (my professor didn’t see my raised hand)
I feel like the beach showcases humanity at its finest. There are happy newlyweds taking pictures together. Elderly couples walk hand in hand and watch the sunset. Little kids bubble over with excitement when they see the water for the first time. Everyone is collecting shells. There is pure, uncontainable joy. A sense of peace hangs in the air along with the salt.
And then I look for too long and see the plastic bottle caps bobbing in the water and the beer cans littering the sand.
I miss her
I am preparing for battle (going to the post office to kindly and politely ask where my missing package is)
There’s no ache like hometown ache
I am violently and relentlessly kind.
There's a little border collie who lives in my head. She's very smart, but very restless. If she is not kept busy, she starts chewing up all my furniture.
