  • Spring break is finally here! Yesterday, I started working at my sporting goods shop; I know it’s only a week, but they’ve promised me a part-time job come summer break if I do well this week. I plan to go hard this week. I’ve been staying with my cousin since the blast of Mom’s spending…

  • “Kate, Kate, are you there?” Why! Why now… I peeped out the side window and saw Derek standing on my porch with his forehead pressed to the door. I’ve been avoiding him; he doesn’t know I’m about to move. It’s been so back-and-forth with him that I just don’t know how I would handle him…

  • Darling dreamers

    It’s a combination of hopes and dreams at this point. I know I should be focusing on me and being the best version of me I can be. But it’s so hard sitting in this house and listening to the hypocrisy that comes out of my moms mouth. You know that high pitched version of…
