Experiences
Many people have come to the conclusion that life is short and we should cherish the moments we get with one another. This has always been the mindset that has taken precedence in my thoughts when growing up. It was a known statement that never failed to be next to me when making decisions in…
The “Truth” and Lies
As I grew up in this world, I was told that the “truth” was significantly better than a lie. This idea was wrapped inside my mind so much that it became innate by the time I began middle school. For my whole life, I have always been a terrible liar because I have been taught…

The Unexpected Anniversary
