conversations with a ghost: midnight thoughts
conversations with a ghost: midnight thoughts
in a small house on the countryside a ceiling fan spun and spun and spun, its plastic blades spreading the cold air across the very warm and small room. the room’s walls were painted a dark blue, with The Smiths posters hung up all over them. the posters shook as the bed’s twin sized mattress covered with black sheets creaked as he tossed and turned.
in another room just outside a big city, lay a stuffed teddy bear, fluffed up and held by her. the fluffy light green blanket was wrapped around her cold body as she tried to warm up. her room was painted white with pastel purple stripes running down the walls. a delicate white bookshelf with Lana Del Rey vinyls were displayed right next to her bed.
in each room, both pairs of eyes stayed open, staring out the bedroom window. his brown irises and her green irises gazing in thought. the moon’s radiant light shining through the glass as their mind’s thoughts were like floating clouds, coming and going:
a deck of dandelions
A lone dandelion bud glistened in the starry night, lying under the twinkling, dark blue sky, blissfully nestled in a vast meadow surrounded by tall blades of grass. Its short stem shook in the gusty wind, struggling to regain balance. The whisper of the breeze hung in the cold air, urging the bud to blossom, face the unknown, complete its cycle, so that one day, a hopeless person or a happy child could blow on its white fuzz, eagerly awaiting the heavens to grant their wish true.

AP Lang Reads: Just Mercy – Bryan Stevenson
Just Mercy by Bryan Stevenson is a profound exploration of systemic injustice and the human stories behind it. Assigned for my AP Language class, the book pushed me to confront uncomfortable truths about the legal system and consider what justice and mercy mean in an inequitable society. With every chapter, I found myself more invested in understanding how personal narratives intersect with broader systemic failures, making the call for reform impossible to ignore.
BOOK REVIEW: JUST FOR THE SUMMER – ABBY JIMENEZ
Book Review: Just For The Summer – Abby Jimenez
Just For The Summer is the cutest romance novel ever. This is what I have to say for this book, as a big fan of Emily Henry and her writing style, Abby Jimenez’s writing blew me away. Her writing has such eloquence in it and is extremely entertaining. Her characters show such raw emotion in her words and are truly relatable. I know some people find romance novels quirky and cringy, but honeslty Jimenez wrote in such an autentic and real way, that the story didn’t feel fake, I could envision every single page in front of my eyes.
