I chose this song partly because I absolutely love it and because it connects to the feelings and tone of the works I’m relating it to. The song repeatedly asks‚ “How do I breathe… live… survive… without you?” Love and marriage are powerful enough to effect one’s health

While I strive to keep it simple‚ sometimes I have to get creative to capture and keep my readers attention. For my challenges‚ I believe

And saying “my Dad died when I was 11” rolls off of my tongue in a way that it never has before. It’s been nine years. Time has passed. Things have gotten easier. His death is no longer where my thoughts default when nothing else is distracting me. I don’t think about him every time someone mentions his or her father in conversation. And‚ I don’t think about him every time someone asks about my own family. I do think about him though. Every single day. It’s still hard. I watch a girl dancing on her

It is just so exponentially exciting going to the same place over and over again for what seems like an eternity. The biggest and most amazing surprise is all the amount of crap the teachers give us to do. I like having to waste my significant time being in a place that I wholeheartedly want to be at. I hope that the teachers have
