June Special: Coping Mechanism
Grief is weird. They say time heals all wounds, and to an extent, they’re not wrong. Bones mend, cuts scar, bruises fade. Even heartache lessens over time. But grief can strike when you least expect it, even decades after the loss. You wake to a brilliant sun in the most cerulean of skies, the emerald … Continue reading June Special: Coping Mechanism
Prompt 275-Mythical Life
What would life be like if unicorns and dragons existed? I think my answer changes based on how long these mythical creatures have existed in this hypothetical.

Prompt 273-Recipes
What kind of recipes do you gravitate towards (e.g. desserts, casseroles, drinks)? I like to cook. I prefer simple recipes though.

You have been given $100 on the condition that you must spend it all on yourself. What will you do with your money? Once upon a time I had a hard time spending any money on myself.

Prompt 263-Resort
If you could build your own vacation resort, what is one attraction you would definitely include? Just one? Well now, that’s a tough one.
