Here are some short little essays, ideas, thoughts, etc. of mine
that I found interesting enough to include. Enjoy!

A Letter to My Friend

As children we became friends, and I valued your friendship more than life. Without your love and understanding, I would never have been such a kind person today. You helped me so much to achieve things that alone I didn't believe I could such as a mile under 9 min. I valued your friendship and trust so much that I loved you like the sister I never had. And even though you had a large family you always let me tag along. You were not only my best friend you were my sister, and as blood is to blood, my love for you will never wane even if our friendship has.

MATURITY

It's to bad that you won't understand until you mature. Maturity does not come with a job. Maturity does not come with sex. Maturity does not come along with any outside gratifications. It comes with knowledge in the things you can and cannot change. It comes with understanding and unconditional love of yourself. It comes with the hope that you can enjoy life without hurting others and accepting their faults as they are.

Beware the Lima Bean

Lima beans. One of the most common of vegetables true; but what lies beneath it's harmless skin? The lima bean is one of the most vile vegetables in existence. It covers itself with an innocently thin and smooth skin like a sweet pea only to assault your tongue with a gritty foul tasting mush. They can never be cooked properly, either too crisp or too soft. Their taste is unmatched in vegetable history. Some companies have tried to hide lima beans in a bag of mixed vegetables. Some parents have hid them in mashed potatoes. But their foulness can always be found. They insinuate themselves within the harmless and tasty company of corn and string beans. Attempting to mask their disgusting flavor with the sweetness of butter, they slide onto your fork or spoon. Do not be fooled by these evil plots. They will spoil any and all desires for future vegetable consumption. Hide these vile things under napkins. Slide them off the table to your unknowing pets. However you dispose of them, do it well or you may be forced to eat them for dessert.
