Unfortunately, you can’t possibly understand what it’s like to live in my body and to be stuck with these broken feelings.

You would grant me your blessing, and I would never need to wake up to another day of suffering.So, that’s what I intend to do. Write in this journal until I feel you can appreciate how hard life is for me. Sharing my despair and fears with you until I am convinced, you won’t want to read anymore. Unveiling my lies until you are finally ready to say goodbye.If you’re reading this, I’m already gone. Maybe it’s just days since or perhaps it’s weeks but I trust you might eventually come to terms with the truth, that this was my choice. If I could have done things differently, I would have.

Othello
William Shakespeare
"Othello", in full "Othello, the Moor of Venice" is tragedy in five acts by William Shakespeare, written in 1603–04 and published in 1622. The play derives its plot from Giambattista Giraldi’s "De gli Hecatommithi" (1565).Along with "Hamlet", "King Lear", and "Macbeth", "Othello" is one of Shakespeare's four great tragedies and thus a pillar of what most critics take to be the apex of Shakespeare's dramatic art. "Othello" is unique among Shakespeare's great tragedies. Unlike the other tragedies above mentioned, which are set against a backdrop of affairs of state and which reverberate with suggestions of universal human concerns, "Othello" is set in a private world and focuses on the passions and personal lives of its major figures.Othello, a Moor and a general in the Venetian army, marries a Venetian noblewoman, Desdemona, without the blessing of her family. Iago, the villain of the story, plots with Roderigo to essentially destroy Othello. Iago cites several reasons for his vengeance, including Othello overlooking him for a promotion and giving the position to Michael Cassio instead, and Othello possibly sleeping with Iago's wife, Emilia. Roderigo, who is used by Iago because he is rich, is in love with Desdemona and works with Iago because he is promised that he will win Desdemona if they are able to defeat Othello.Iago's plans become progressively more manipulative and complex as he preys upon Othello's insecurities and convinces him that his new wife is having an affair with Cassio. Tragedy is about to happen... Read more

All the Little Things
Heidi Dischler
"...the author tells her story with such intimacy and compassion that readers will not only understand the intricacies of the protagonist’s pain, fear, and sense of powerlessness, they will feel it as well." -IndieReader"Told with warmth and compassion... All the Little Things truthfully depicts the havoc that anxiety, fear, and panic can create." -Readers' FavoriteBreathe. Caroline always tells herself when the panic sets in as her chest tightens, her throat closes, and her hands and feet begin to tingle. Fix it. You’re alone. You’re going to die. Ever since her mother died alone after taking medicine that caused her to have an allergic reaction, Caroline can’t even be away from people she knows without her emotions spiraling out of control. Her only solace is in writing lists. Lists about why dying alone sucks. Lists about how great community college will be. Lists about why her dream college isn’t the right one for her. Lists won’t save her as her anxiety gets worse due to the looming date of her college decision, though. Her grandparents don’t want her to stay at the local community college, but she can’t risk leaving without falling apart.Caroline continually hides her pain from everyone: she never lets her therapist in and refuses to take her meds in fear of dying like her mother. When Bennett Williams comes back to town, though, Caroline grows closer to him and the maturity and healing that he has seemingly found after his brother’s suicide. He can see through her pain. He understands why she can’t leave. But Bennett doesn’t let her hide behind her darkness. He pushes her to get better—to grow through her pain. As Caroline becomes caught between being comfortable and being happy, she must choose whether or not she is willing to face her darkness and chase her dreams, or if she’ll push her darkness back, staying only in places that don’t make her think: Breathe. Fix it. You’re alone. You’re going to die. Read more
