It's Over

My junior year of High School was exceptional! During that time, these were our cheerleaders.

Balancing Relationships and Writing: Can It Work?
Sometimes, it feels impossible to find the time to write and maintain a relationship without driving both people to insanity. When I dive into my writing zone, distractions can be frustrating, and I'm not always sure if I want someone around all the time. However, when it works, it feels magical—especially if you find the right person who can practically live in your back pocket. That special someone who knows you as well as you know yourself, understanding what works and what doesn't.

The Uplift of a Good Friend
Catching up with a good friend the other day was such a boost to my spirits. He's always there to listen to everything I say, even my troubles, and often takes it upon himself to find solutions. This time, though, there's a matter I don't want him involved in, even though he's already shared his plan. The thing is...I'm not sure if I really want it.

Culinary skills Down the Drain and No Eggs
Recently, my culinary skills have significantly declined. In fact, a dish I prepared recently was so dreadful that it caused both of us to vomit. My distraction has likely contributed to my inability to focus on cooking, even something as simple as an egg. Additionally, Peekskill pantries are currently facing a shortage of eggs, unable to meet the demand from the increasing number of visitors. And I refuse to pay $16 for eggs at C-Town or anywhere else for that matter.

Johnsonville High School
As the tail end of the baby boomers begins to retire, it seems that chaos has permeated our times, reminiscent of the incident during our junior-senior prom. As juniors, many of us got drunk and attempted to burn down the gymnasium, resulting in numerous arrests. As punishment, the principal brought the issue to the school board, leading to the cancellation of the senior prom for our class the following year.
