Cam I can’t believe how no one is being supportive of my decisions. No one appreciates my own thoughts. I’ve worked so hard rewriting this will, and nobody is pleased with it. I know 21 is a young age to start writing your will, but I can feel it happening. I can feel my soul slowly breaking apart with this world. Or maybe it's just all of the seizures I’ve been having. The tonic- clonic seizures have been happening to me since I was 8 years old. It wasn’t that bad at first. I just kept peeing on my bed, my clothes, our dinner chair....

My heart is starting to race so fast, I can barely keep up with it. I stare into the eyes of this coward who hides behind another face. I trace my trembling fingers across my fat nose, thin lips, my small eyes. The angry bruises on my arms crawl up my shoulder, spreading this army of purple dots across my skin. I see this person do the same. The stomach of this person inflates, leaving a small balloon under the blue pajamas. Just looking in the mirror gives me anxiety. What if I were to go out like this? Scarred and bruised. Wea...

My head is spinning. I can’t even think straight. I’m riding a rollercoaster going so fast you can barely begin to digest what’s around you. And I feel like I’m going to throw up. I have started watching a lot of stuff now that I have a lot of free time in the summer, and I just can’t take my eyes off the screen. I’ve become addicted. My head ducks in shame as I look at my screen time from the present day. I used to make fun of people that would stay on the screens so much. Never would have I thought that I would become one of those p...

I have 3 more days at home before I leave to go to college. I am SO excited! I’ll be living on my own, making lifelong friends (from what I’ve heard), and be my own boss. No one can tell me when to go to bed, or when to come back home, or when to eat. I know it sounds stupid, but I’ve kind of been looking forward for this moment for my entire life. To get out of my house and really go live my life. I haven’t lived anywhere but here in Kentucky, and I can't wait to see what is beyond farms, horses and green grass. Don’t get me wrong, I...

As I look up into the sky, I find the stars next to the moon. I’m mesmerized. The stars glisten through the dark eternity. I look to the left, and find a full blank circle. Rounded, and no edges. Everybody says, aim for the moon and you’ll at least land on the stars, but why would anybody want to be the moon? The stars have the galaxy. The moon only has the blank space around it. Why would you want to be the single silhouette on that perfectly circled moon? My thoughts circle back to reality, though my eyes are glued to the shining stars. T...
I look outside the window. I have everything. A pond with kersimo fish. The biggest yard. Big, protective trees, whistling me a tune through its breeze. Sliding on my coat, I walk outside. Yeah, that’s right. I can take a walk in my backyard. That’s the first thing anyone ever says when they come to our house. Yes, we know. We are very lucky. We have things that some people could never dream to imagine. And sometimes I can't either. I wake up sometimes, surprised by how perfect everything in my life is. Great, warm food. Huge c...

I gaze across the cliff as I steady my legs so they don’t collapse like jell-o. The view is absolutely breathtaking. The sun is rising over the horizon. I don’t even feel like i’m here right now. I feel as if I'm dreaming, and that I’ll wake up any second realizing that 20 years have passed as I'm staring at the sky. As my eyes blind from the rays of the sun, I suddenly realize that today is the day! Today is the day that I receive the answer to the question that I have been asking for the past 15 years. My heart is racing so fast tha...
1-1 It’s New Year’s! Mason walks around the party with his bubbling apple cider in hand. The music is blaring through the speakers. Couples are dancing. Mason gets roped into a group of his friends. They try to impress some girls on the day of a fresh new year, but Mason’s brain blurs. Soon, the room is spinning, all the guests are upside down and Mason is walking on the ceiling. After a few seconds, his brain settles. Something seems incomplete, though. Mason and his friends resume their conversation about the girls. There is one name that ...
My entire life, I've always been waiting for something. In kindergarten, I was waiting for recess. In second grade, I was waiting to go to 3rd grade. In 5th grade, I was waiting to be a middle schooler. In 7th grade, I was waiting to get my period. In 8th grade, I was waiting to become a high schooler. In sophomore year, I was waiting to drive. In junior year, I was waiting for the SATs to be over. In senior year, I was waiting for prom and going to college. And then I waited to become an adult, vote, get a tattoo, drink when I'm 21, ...
