Dialogue an be powerful
It is the summer before my senior year of high school and my mom is cleaning out the spare bedroom. I ask her why and she tells me that my parents are separating and that she will be sleeping in that room until the divorce is finalized. I found it weird that just sleeping in a different room could be considered separation because you are still living in the same house.
I ask her “Mom why are you moving all your stuff in here?”
“Mara it is something you will understand when you are older that when you settle you never get what you want.”
I look at her puzzled “What do you mean mom?”
“Don’t ever settle with love of life. you deserve so much more than that. I settled and that is why I am moving in here because I refuse to settle anymore. I don’t regret having you kids but I regret that I couldn’t have given you guys a better father.” The tears begin trickling down her face.
“It’s ok mom, I understand,” I say as run to give her a hug.
I don’t believe that I even understand now. As the months slowly pass by they are divorced before my 18th birthday that January. Looking back at it now I see that it was so short a time but it felt like forever then.

Your eyes are like the center of a daisy
Descriptive Scene
As we walk I feel the sand crystals slowly smoothing away my worries. With each stride our paths intertwine as the sun chases us. As the rays engulf us I feel my body become hotter. The sweet breeze drifting off the blue expanse soothes away my cares until I turn and your face traps me. The silkiness of your face and your bronzed features draw the eye closer. As I stare into those brown windows to your soul, I fall in love with you again. Those two simple circles seem to be calling to me and I can’t say no. As your strong arms surround me I know that there is no place I would rather be but here.
