So. If you would like to hear any of the work that I am doing, go to this site. I will post when I have a story up. They are only on the website for a weak, but until I figure out how to get them up myself, this is the best way to access them.

I have a story that will be posted on Tuesday May 26th about torture survivors. There will be another later this week.

Speaking with the people at the torture survivors center was an incredible experience. These people are moving in their passion and their perspective. There was so much that I couldn't include. I am thinking about making a longer piece on my own time because they really deserve to be heard (and I have a gold mine of audio clips that will make you cry).

She has a knack for the Sentimental

I’m not sure if we trusted each other,
You in your undeveloped bedroom and me in my misconstrued real world-
And I think this may be why we spoke over each other,
Besides the fact that we thought it was funny.
Now that I think about it, I am not sure where to place
the occasional loving glance and
Fleeting tender feeling .
Besides beneath layers and layers of deciding to not call you
and calling you all the time-
or below layers and layers of just thinking you are kind of cute and pretty funny
And that funny feeling when I thought you might think I’m pretty
Or that you are pretty over me.

And right when I wonder why you haven’t invested anything,
I wonder if you have,

maybe

And I wonder if I have.
