In many places and situations I often see males trying to show how strong and superior they are to females and I see women trying to prove themselves to men. To show that they can be just as tough and just a strong.This past week has started the marching band season where I live, all the freshmen have learned how to march and the memorization of music is well under way. So is an argument in my...

Today I was walking downtown, heading to the comic book store I work at. As I was waiting at a cross walk I saw a very tall man standing on the other side waiting to go left, I was going right. When I saw him I felt like the world froze, everything went numb, and I felt panicky. I knew he exactly who he was, I said his name in disbelief. He looked down at me and asked the most painful thing I have...

I was on my friend's facebook and on their news feed there was a bunch of photos of girls that were seriously tanned, blonde hair, and wearing brightly colored makeup. The caption was like if you're not fake. Ironically the girls that were commenting had flat ironed hair and were wearing make-up themselves. But really what does it matter?

Have you ever been so confused about something and you don't have the slightest clue on how to figure it out? That it might be easier to just tell someone but you're scared?

It bothered me for the longest time because I couldn't figure out why she was lying about something so silly. Then a past teacher of mine, that I still...

People stay up almost half the night just waiting for eleven eleven to roll around on their clocks so they can make a wish. I am one of those people, though sadly I miss it more often than catch it. Though a few weeks ago when I wasn't even waiting for it, it came around and I noticed while I was talking to them. I made a wish. I thought it came true but it was just a lie. They only pretended to...

Today I was at the mall and some chick walks up to me with, I guess it was her boyfriend because she was hanging all over him, just to inform me that I look like a female. Now I get that I probably look a bit feminine, but then her "boyfriend" continued to say that I should lose the binding. At first I didn't understand that comment but upon thinking about it I realized he was saying I was binding...
