Chapter 1

Heroine had not expected her first kiss to be like this at all. She had expected to end up with a foot raised, with the sound of music and the strains of true love singing in the air around her. She had not expected his hayseed breath, the slobber as he found her nose before her lips and the way his braces caught the edge of her lip as he drew back, a flush to match his freckles spreading over his face as he stared down at her. She managed to pull her lip free, staring up at the gap between his front teeth with a small feeling that might have been despair coursing through her, her own breath coming short and short as her asthma began to act up.

Note: prompt given by mslabyrinth. Thanks!

My pomegranate heart is exposed, syrup dripping down chapped lips, fingers scooping out seeds to place in mounds of nutrient rich dirt, a crown resting upon a corrupt king's forehead whose only contribution was loving his subjects.

Nights that feel like Noontimes Shadows that dance on the Sidewalk Lens flares and music Notes Clocks that tick out every Second Chocolate cakes and coffee Beans Butterfly kisses and bear Hugs Stained glass transmissions on Skin Dust motes first thing in the Morning Sunsets and sunrises and fog and Clouds.

I'd say I am doing really well, the semester is coming to a close and it has been a long one. Academically it has been great and I have accomplished a lot and been given many opportunities and spotlit for my hardwork  which feels good. Emotionally, this fall has been a rollercoaster and I think I've learned a lot about myself and other people as well as how I affect other people. I've learned a lot about caring for another person deeply, I've learned to care about myself more deeply.

It's hard to say, I still feel like I am struggling immensely with some residual depression from the summer months, but it goes in spurts and I do the best I can and have too many wonderful people in my life to let it get the best of me.
