  • I wrote this in September in honor of Suicide Awareness Month as my perspective on what I would observe and how I would feel if I ended my own life and was still able to see my loved ones. It’s a very important piece to me as it reminds me what to stay strong for and to treasure what I have while I still have it, and I wrote this piece in hopes to inspire others to do the same.

  • It’s difficult to describe, but I think creativity is the reason I’m the person I am. If it weren’t for my creativity, I wouldn’t have the hobbies and interests that are so important to me. Creativity is the part of me that makes me who I am today.
