Letters on a Journey

I got bored during my English III honors class when my teacher Mrs. Plum recommended the book And Then There Were None to me. Little did she know that I'd liked the book, I loved the book a bit too much. An unhealthy obsession so to speak, especially something so grim. To those of you that don't know, the book's about ten individuals trapped on an island that are picked off one by one by a serial killer that's one of the guests. In a strange turn of events, all of the individuals turned out to have previously murdered someone. The thing about the book is that through action or inaction, everyone killed someone but not all of them are created equal. You see, some of them feel remorseful of their pasts are are plagued by the weight of their guilt. One in particular, Vera Claythorne, was a particular subject that I found the most fascinating throughout my essays. During may AP Literature class she was the individual that weaved in and out throughout all the papers. She...

Today was an awesome day, I got to hang out with my friend Rose from high school. We both recent just graduated, and it was nice to be able to see her again. She insists that we have a reunion of all the kids that were in our middle school gifted education class. It was a small, tight-knit group that met on Tuesdays of each week we participated in group activities and projects together.

She's going to school to study chemical engineering- and may be picking up a tripe major in French and computer science. She also keeps mentioning cupcake club- I personally think she's more excited for it than she lets on. After all, it's nice to have an activity where you can truly let go an...

Well, I suppose this is where we cross paths. You're most likely seeing this from behind a computer screen, hearing the subtle hum of your monitor glowing in the privacy of your own home, just as I am currently. The weird thing is, despite us never once seeing each other, I may significantly impact the course of your life, and you may do the same to mine. Ironically, I'm not really expecting anyone else to be viewing these posts. If you happen to be one of the few souls to stumble across these posts, then congratulations: I hope you find what you seek. There are several things I need to cover before I get started. First off, me and my digital persona are two separate entities- well, not entirely. Some truths are things that I'll keep to my grave, others are things I would never share with my friends and family, but will readily describe here. Other things I would openly tell to others in the real world, but would never tell the prying eyes of the internet. The thing is al...
