The mind is a funny thing. It can make you think about things that happened when you were 7 and never thought about before. Last night I dreamed of something that happened back when I was in Elementary school, almost 16-17 years ago. I dreamed about bullying and the forms it comes in. I dreamed about Tiffany. She was a friend of mine she lived in the big apartment building around the corner from me. We played together a lot, but only at home. We also went to the same school, but I never played with her there because no one else would play with her either. Her father was in jail and her whole big family struggled to make ends meet, that was

Interesting Conversations with… -Friends- Katie: All day at work I felt like the genie in Aladdin. POOF "Whaddya need?" POOF "Whaddya need?" POOF "Whaddya need?" Abby: 3 year old at work (Safeway) asked me if I was a zookeeper. We just got our aprons today.

I am the heart of this world and you can’t stop me. Why s
