Who is Season 5 Sam?

You think you know who you are until you don’t. You think you know what friendship is until everything changes. You think you know what you’re worth until the world tilts sideways. You think you know so much about life, but you actually know nothing. *That double ignorance though… When I moved out East I… Continue reading Who is Season 5 Sam?

Our Normal Hearts Give Thanks

It’s 2:47am on Thanksgiving Monday, the day has just begun, and I’ve been awake for all two hours and forty seven minutes of today.  I can’t sleep.  I’ve often heard that writers write in order to try to purge themselves of their thoughts; however, Dumbledore and his pensive along with the infinite amount of books… Continue reading Our Normal Hearts Give Thanks

A Tribute

It has been awhile, a long while, since I’ve updated.  I’ve missed this kind of loose writing – unrestrained by deadlines and specific requirements.  I planned on posting this yesterday and the day before and last week…well, you get the picture.  My procrastination gene isn’t entirely to blame though, part of it was due to… Continue reading A Tribute

What A Crime…

“Youth is a wonderful thing. What a crime to waste it on children.” -George Bernard Shaw Shaw is incorrect; at least by my standards.  Youth is beautiful but terrible too – the only ones who are capable of facing it are the young.  Each age has its own trials and tribulations but youth is by far one… Continue reading What A Crime…
