Waking up in the morning assuming that he/she messaged you. Or worse, hurting yourself again, begging him/her to come back without the assurance that he/she still feel the feelings that you still feel for him/her.

Unfortunately our whole family could not go my father had to stay behind as well as my three brothers who had to stay in school, but my mom did not want to go alone so she chose me to accompany her.

My older brothers never laughed about anything, they had zilch to be thrilled about. What they did have is a secret hiding place, at the closing of the property; bushes they shaped into an igloo.

I never thought missing someone could hurt so much but the sorrow and darkness is growing inside me, I can think strait anymore the pain is overwhelming every day it hurts more and more and it all started because of one idiotic, stupid man. I can't stop the crash playing over and over in my head as I see my parents burning alive and screaming, calling out my name louder and louder until it all just goes quiet. it feels like it was just yesterday that my whole world was torn apart, every time I see a car my mind flashes back to that day, I should have been helping them but my mind and my body wouldn't move I was frozen, my fear is overwhelming but that was all 1 year ago and I'm still not over it.

People gain inspiration from different people and places. I on the other hand gain it from my family.For starters when I was a little girl about eight years old I grew up in a extremely athletic family my mom,dad, and literally both my older sisters at the same time, because both of the were playing volleyball together and when I was at that age both of my parents played rugby.

I feel claustrophobic. I squeeze my eyes shut, willing it to go away. It won't. My palms become sweaty and I feel nauseous. I kick my legs in the air, angrily lashing out at the

The time for my birthday party was approaching. I remember running around and trying to make sure that everything was in order. At the time I thought this was going to be one of the biggest days of my life. I had been been preparing for this day for weeks and weeks on end. I poured my heart out into every aspect of the planning. I hand-wrote all my invitations. I filled the pages of my notebooks with crayon drawings of exactly how I wanted the day to go.
