It’s such a strange feeling to be so comfortable around a person you hardly know. It doesn’t happen often, but I felt it as soon as I met Maureen and Jeff. I should have known when I kept running into them throughout the bookstore that it was for a reason. It’s usually so unnerving to …
Crimson
I remember thinking how handsome he was the first time we met. An old client of mine had introduced us. He was very clever. Funny too. He wasn’t much taller than me but he was fit, strong. You could tell just by looking at him that he took good care of himself. Patrick had the …
Ghost
Lydia had never been an overly cautious person. Realistic, yes. But never truly scared. She came off as one of those naive kids who assumed nothing would ever happen to them. She walked past the bus stop through the parking lot, paying next to no attention. She had walked this route so many times that …
Spring Cleaning: A Short Story
What a way to spend my day off; cleaning. It's not like I get a lot of free time in the first place. Between working 60 hours a week and trying to keep some semblance of a social life, I don't exactly have time to be 'Suzy Homemaker'. Still, I didn't think our little kitchen …
My Declaration of Self-Help
I'm a waitress. One thing I hear constantly from my managers and coworkers is "don't be afraid to ask for help". I don't like that. I am not good at asking for help; it makes me extremely uncomfortable and halfway through asking for it, I normally decide it was a mistake and try to reverse …

Whose Life Is It Anyway?
Okay so I know my blog thus far has run along the lines of self-empowerment and being comfortable with yourself, but something has been irking my nerves. I’m fairly comfortable with my life at the moment and I’m having fun being single; so why is there always someone else who is not? I get questioned …
How To Be Selfish
I know that being selfish is a trait that is generally frowned upon. I understand this and the reasoning behind it; I have personally dealt with a number of selfish people. It normally isn’t very pleasant. I don’t think being selfish is the problem though, I think it is the ways in which you choose …
Despite What My Mother Might Think
Being single is a very odd thing. It is especially odd when your friends have all these really funny, ridiculous dating stories. Meanwhile, you have none. Well, next to none. This seems to be the trend of my life. When I first meet people, they always ask me about my dating life or how many …
