"Make Way" Part Eight: Look Above and Listen for the Moon Serenade
"You still love him?" "Yes." "Do you wish you didn't?" Nalani was standing on wet grass, the leaves from the trees had already made their swaying drop. This is her favorite season, in a way, this is somewhat of the "redeeming" season. What does that mean?

Dear Friend Stuck in a Relationship but Won't Leave
I think we’ve all either been there or know someone who has been in a bad relationship for way too long. And as the best friend, you always have to be the shoulder to cry on, there to listen, to give advice only for it to go in one ear and out the other, and to see them make up within a week. Hearing repeatedly the, “I swear it’s REALLY, REALLY over this time. I can’t keep living my life like this.”

Strangers
Have you ever felt isolated? People pass us all the time in the streets never once taking a second to look at who they pass. I’ve been told people are born to be good but what happens to them? Why do we start to care less and less for humans the older we get? What happens if we just stop and look out for another human being? I stop and look at the girl sitting down by herself. I walk towards her not knowing what will happen. What she will say or do. However, it’s worth it because we humans need to take time to talk to one another. She looks sad and depressed. I wonder what she’s going through.

10 Signs That Your Partner Put You On Layaway

Blessed with a Breakup
We used to be friends. Best friends, actually. I met Jamie when I moved to his school for my further education. He was one of the first few people I had met and we instantly clicked. Something about him was very comforting and we became good friends. At the time I met him, I did not feel anything for him and he did not feel anything for me. He had a girlfriend and I had a lot of family problems that I took up my most of my thoughts.

"Make Way" Part Seven: Stand to Deliver
His friends were doing better than him, he thought. So there's this one friend, alright — he's basically freelancing every day on a set. Another friend was working for a production company, and then there was this other guy (not really a friend, but he knew him and called him a friend), who was working on a shoot involving...Martin Scorsese?

Back and Forth
When you first come into this world, even before then, genetics tells you what your sex is. The equipment that you're going to supposedly have for the rest of your life. These genetics don't always match what your brain has in store. Who really knows why; because I know that I don't. Maybe it's a chromosomal thing gone array that has yet to be discovered. All I know is, is that sometimes it sucks.Let me clear something up though. Sex is your physical organs. Gender is how you perceive yourself in response with your physical self. Sometimes they match, sometimes they don't. The world still goes on. For me, it's like a two-way street. Sometimes I want to go down Male Street, other days I go down Female Street.

Loving Thoughts
Being a teenager is so much fun. Being in high school is supposed to be the best four years of your life. Being 16 is so exciting. You get your license, and a job, and everything is so new. About a month after my 16th birthday, I got my first job working as a hostess at a local restaurant. Little did I know, a week after I started, I would meet the love of my life.
