All We Wrote:
All We Wrote: How long do you think we’ve been doing this? I bet you don’t know. Eleven years. Eleven long years, we’ve been back and forth for over a god damn decade. I’ve given you everything. I rush home from work, I cook and clean and carve out every spare second that I possibly can for you. I’ve made you my life and you haven’t shown a single ounce of gratitude. Some people want us to win, others roll their eyes when I mention you, but I don’t hear a single fucking critic, the good or the bad. I have tunnel vision for us and what we could attain. Nothing pulls you close enough to see what we could be. We could be great like Gatsby, or as profound as Hemingway. I leave nothing unsaid for you, I bleed thoughts for no food and open doors for you to close. Some days I wish I could rip up everything we achieved. If I did would you care? Would you beg me to stay and hear me out? Would you really listen to my words instead of meeting them with the cold silence you usually do?

Why I'm Thankful to Live in CT
You see, your world can change in the blink of an eye, in an absolute instant. It can change for the better, or for the worse, but that's up for your interpretation. Now what happened to me could be a blessing to some and will be a blessing to me at some point in my life, but just not now. Not when I cannot even manage my own mind and responsibilities and emotions and just life in general. I took 2 pregnancy tests the day before my 23rd birthday. I peed on the stick in the parking lot next to my apartment building, while my boyfriend decorated my apartment for my birthday. Gross, I know. He wouldn't let me inside yet, but I had to pee and just bought the tests from Big Y, since my period was about a week late. Never did I expect the line to so clearly appear, and never did I expect to take a second test and have it read the same thing.

Contest
So I do not have Vocal+ yet but wanted to add my own story for the writing prompt. The prompt was about someone waking up on a train, no ticket, no memory of how they got there and the train is not slowing down. Needs to be between 600 to 5,000 words. Enjoy!

Why Me?
Letter to my abuser… It’s really hitting me today. I think it’s taken me literally 20 years to process it. When I start to actually think about it I get up and do something bc I can’t think about it. I was a child. You knew all of the things I went through at home, the abuse, the neglect, you saw it all firsthand. Not because you were a friend of mine on social media bc you randomly added me (msn instant messenger was really all that was available then for many people, and my parents would’ve freaked had I had a “Friendster” profile. I had old school parents, time period right as social media took off) , but because you were a best friend of my dads.

What is love? The meaning of love is very broad, can be friendship, affection, love... Perhaps the most interesting of these is love?
What is love? The meaning of love is very broad, can be friendship, affection, love... Perhaps the most interesting of these is love? Then I might as well say love. Love is the most wonderful word, how many people are struggling to pursue, sometimes people put love is more important than life. But what is love? How many people actually have eternal love? How many people spend their whole lives searching? Love may be the feeling of love at first sight, love may be the feeling of marriage, love may be the feeling of life and death together... Love is a never-ending topic. When you fall in love with someone, your heart is scared and uneasy. You don't know how the other person feels. You have to hide your feelings because you are reserved. Maybe you had love is a shadow of your heart, you have to put on a dream of clothes, you revel in the illusion of the dream don't want to wake up, long lingering, travelling, when you know each other's feelings, all have the wind light cloud light, because you have walked out of his shadow, his coat and luxuriant, no longer love you embrace has lost its luster, Your life will be filled with gray. When I have no experience of loving others, I think, "It's really enjoyable to love others." When I am loved, I think, "What happiness is being loved!" But no matter love and be loved, all so let a person sad, because the heart is always so unpredictable, desire is always so things for her, can only pass by. Nothing goes to her heart. Like a decadent and dejected flower, with a desperate gesture but a naive face, smiling at all the cruelty and humiliation. Deep dark green is no tears. Such a flower always open in the dark does not believe in tears, is doomed to loneliness. Often, in the crowded sea of people, feel the extension of many strangers, sound, smell, chaos and noise. And calm down to see, to listen to, to feel difficult to fill, there is love and be loved there is a struggle in the vortex of feelings, there is love and be loved also more in the emotional world of entanglement. The wrong car of love and be loved, the incomprehension of love and be loved, the restriction of love and be loved, the helplessness of love and be loved... The vast earth, for a disappointed world and heart of no love, where is not the same? Always walking on the road, all the love, suddenly will find that there is nothing here. Empty and noiseless. There are many people who have no soul. A mediocre life without a purpose

If you are single, do you really need a partner
Most people in this world have no idea what kind of life they're going to live, let alone who they're going to spend it with. They tend to blame their frustrations on being married, or not. As if if it were not so, it would be possible to gain enlightenment and ascend.
