Today is the first day of the year. I wasn’t really looking forward to saying goodbye to 2012. For one, it has been an amazing year for me. It may be one of the best years I’ve had in my 28 years of colorful existence. I don’t know what 2013 has in store. I don’t know if it’s going to be a good year, or if this will be a let down.

Souls Departed
Read moreThis post is a day late. My late stepmother’s birthday was yesterday.

Thursday, Poets, Poems. What More Can You Ask For?
Read moreI am so happy because Jingle, a very talented and friendly poet, awarded me with this. Because of this award, I feel more encouraged to join the rally every Thursday (not that I didn’t like doing so before the award). Jingle has done an amazing job gathering poets together. Because of her, I have met great friends who give me a lot of encouragement with writing poetry. I have met great and talented poets that I have learned to respect.…
