I can read minds, what a cool superpower, right?

Except now while their faces are plastered with smiles and laughing, I can hear it - 'Why the hell are we friends with her', 'Who invited her?', 'She really thinks she's pretty and funny, doesn't she.'

"Do unto others as you would have them do unto you"

As I look around the now-silent classroom, I finally raise the gun up to my head, wondering if this is what they really meant.

I want warmth, I want to be held.

I want to be loved, for once in my miserable life.

I know every topic you could think of, and have a great personality.

Why can’t I make new friends when I go out?

The poor guy had basically become a vegetable after his massive stroke, staring into space while stuck in the nursing home.

He had no family to come check on him, so it was easy for us nurses to take out our daily frustration on him, covering him in cuts and bruises.

He told her that he loved her every single day.

But then the dementia caused him to forget her.

"I'm not asking at this point," the boy's father scolded, "you will not see that boy again."

"You just haven't met the right girl yet."

Father died yesterday from cancer after months fighting it.

So why, instead of grieving, can my brothers only talk about his goddamn inheritance?

I know murder is wrong.

Marriage is about compromise.

So I let him use the dog instead of the baby.

I won $1 million in the lottery!

Too bad the entirety of it had to go towards paying off my medical bills from my car accident and now there's nothing left.

She clung to every bit of love she felt, but the battles had taken everything from her.

"I love you," she said, voice trembling, "but I just can’t fight for us anymore."

"What was Daddy like?" my daughter asks, as we stand by his grave.

I tell her stories about a kind and honest man who never was, so she could have a father to be proud of.

"I would do anything for a chance at us," I told her as I felt the tears welling in my eyes.

She sighed and shook her head ..."I'm better off alone, I don't get the things I want."

I saw a perfect airplane tied down in the hanger the other day.

The propeller was going full bore and the was body shaking and quivering under the lift being generated, but none of the engineers could figure out how to get it to fly.

In a quiet room, she cradled her belly, haunted by the knowledge that the baby inside her had no heartbeat, yet she was forced to carry the weight of the grief

Each passing day felt like a betrayal, she mourned a life that would never be, she never understood how much harder it was once she was forced to deliver her babies lifeless body at full term.

I asked God: What's the meaning if life?

A heavy breath followed gods gaze to the emptiness below him: "But, I wanted you to tell me"

I held her paw, because she was shaking.

She turned stiff, yet I held on.

After all these years, I still keep the program from my mother’s funeral in my desk drawer.

I still hope that one day I can feel sadness for the loss.

"It's been 5 years, I'm so tired of waiting for my family" he huffed

The senior dog layed down on the cold floor of the adoption center, waiting day after day for someone to adopt him

I found myself falling in love with a woman for the first time in a long while.

I was head over heels until I noticed that her smiles never ever reached her eyes.

When you really like someone, you forget how much…

you don’t like yourself.

But when I see them, I feel every disappointing mistake burnt into my skin all over again.

I have this pit in my stomach and it won’t go away. I just sat in my car and cried knowing what has to happen next.
