Wishful thoughts

Miss Maggie Maria

Submitted to Contest #315

The First StepJenna stood at the edge of the dock, the soft slap of the water against the wooden planks beneath her feet the only sound that accompanied her thoughts. The sun was setting, casting golden hues across the horizon. A breath of fresh air swept past her, cool and soothing. She could feel it deep in her chest, like a reminder: everything she had been holding on to for so long was finally slipping away. A year ago, this dock had been the place where her world had started to unravel. Her engagement had fallen apart in the quietest wa...

Life of Milestones

Miss Maggie Maria

Submitted to Contest #315

In the vast narrative of our lives, there are moments that stand out like landmarks, marking shifts in direction, growth, or self-realization. These personal milestones, though often overlooked in the daily rush of life, are the quiet or sometimes bold moments when we realize we are no longer the person we were a few weeks, months, or years ago. They represent fresh starts, pivotal turning points, and reflections of our evolution as individuals. Whether celebrated with fanfare or quietly acknowledged in solitude, these moments define us. ###...

A Dog’s Backcountry Adventure

Miss Maggie Maria

Submitted to Contest #314

The air smells different out here—crisp, clean, and full of pine. I can smell the earth, the trees, and something else, too—something wild, something big, moving through the forest. My paws sink a little into the dirt as I walk beside them—my humans. They don’t seem to understand how excited I am. Maybe it’s because I’m the one who’s been dreaming of this adventure for what feels like forever. There’s a trail here, just like the ones I sniff out on walks in the city, but it’s more… wild. It feels like we’re walking in a giant, untamed backya...

The Dog Days of Insomnia

Miss Maggie Maria

Submitted to Contest #314

~The Wilderness of Fear~ It was supposed to be a simple backcountry trip—a weekend adventure into the rugged heart of the wilderness. For Luke, a loyal german shepherd mixed with a malamute; had fur that gleamed like the sun. This was just another adventure with his human, Meghan. They had hiked the hills, crossed streams, and camped in the forests many times before. But this time, things were different. Meghan had been stressed for weeks leading up to the trip, and Luke could feel the tension in the air. She had been quieter than usual, her...

A twisted backpacking journey

Miss Maggie Maria

Submitted to Contest #261

I weighed my pack before going and it was 45lbs and my dog's pack was 10lbs. I left the motel after an egg and bacon breakfast sandwich. The drive to the trailhead went through Kootenay National Park and then connected with Banff National Park. It was a gorgeous hike through the woods with several viewpoints along the way to the Ink Pots. Such a beautiful scenic walk through some meadows overlooking the Banff Sawback Mountain Range. There were a few steep portions, but since it was my first day, I had the energy!I arrived at the campsite and...

It's not the mountains we conquer, but overselves

Miss Maggie Maria

Submitted to Contest #181

It all started off with a whole lot of trauma, stress and grief; but it soon became happiness, joy and relief. It is funny beginning a story in a positive way when you are so use to the negativity. Your reality became a negative canopy that had just clouded your thoughts, your visions and your life. You think to yourself, is this how life is suppose to be? Is this what I have in store for me? What can I do to change my life? How can I conquer and climb these mountains? Those are all questions that I had asked myself again and again. It feels...

Resilience in 2022

Miss Maggie Maria

Submitted to Contest #126

Every new years eve- there are conversations on resolutions; how can I change, how can I do better, how can I become the best person I am born to be. The problem with a new year’s resolution; is they are always broken, not followed through on, no strength or power to move forward. The mystery of a resolution and why they have no backbone is because, there is no purpose. It is just a game in society where people are pushed to think that their resolutions will work. It is a fog like a cancer that's spread and blinds people from how to truly fo...

Just A Bird's Eye View

Miss Maggie Maria

Submitted to Contest #105

To start my story off- I would like to introduce myself as the character that will be attempted to be seen in a perspective of a person that is unaware of my thoughts and feelings. (But of course- they know best, right?) The two characters do not mesh well- one is Taurus and myself - well I am a Leo. I must say- those two zodiac signs; do not get along.Moving forward - I will go over a short back story to show you a small peek into my life. Not a very miserable one; it could always be worse!But- as a trauma victim (sexually, physically and e...

Leo's - Extrovert, Introvert or Both?

Miss Maggie Maria

Submitted to Contest #104

In the spirit of the leo season and myself as one- I consider my zodiac sign to be seen as extroverted; but can be seen as an introvert as well. Leo's are fun, loud and energetic. Although- around certain people, they can be very quiet and reserved. We are fire signs; that are full of pride, optimism, radiance and different dynamics. Being seen as an extrovert- but a true introvert at heart... I am very careful and observe all options before proceeding.One major factor as a leo- is we will always try to show we are happy and strong. Even whe...
