Fragmented Memories

"So, what is your story, what are you writing about? You don't have to answer me, I'm just really curious. You seem so intense, focused and alive when you put pen to paper. I'm fascinated." 

She was overly curious for someone whom had just met Randy. It caught him off guard.

"It's the story of my life, in a way. All the shameful and guilty things that I can't tell anyone. Pieces of myself. Things I remember. The things people said to me, or did to me. Fragmented memories that tortured me and found their way onto paper. Emotionally discouraging things. Dirty things. Things I got to get out. There is some beauty there, too." 

Randy laid it out there for his addiction counselor. She reflected, appearing to understand.

"I see. That is beautiful, and healthy. Keep doing it."

Girl Who Deserves A Chance

 Ryan, You asked me once, "Why do people love me?" I'll tell you why... Your energy is what makes people fall in love with you. It's how you make them feel. It is not your body, your money or your looks that make you magnetic. What makes you unforgettable is how you transform the hearts of people around you with your simple presence. That is your energy, that is your power, and that is why people love you. Jessica,     the girl who deserves a chance...

Backstage Stooge

 Dear Ryan,  You're delightful and a real treat to be around, a regular jack who's so down to earth. What you see is what you get with you. No pretenses, no false fronts, no ulterior motives or ill intentions. You're one to say what you're thinking with your eyes, you can never hide behind lies, and your sighs give you away. Although you're an exceptional actor, you shed those roles only to recreate yourself whenever you feel you need to. I suspect you've got some secrets and perhaps you very well could be a demon in disguise. But I seriously doubt the dark side of you isn't just as beautiful as the light side. You're no one's fool and you're fooling no one. You've simply got to walk in any room and your energy speaks for itself. You're one of a kind, and don't tell anyone, but I think my heart might become rather fond of you. Your co-star and backstage stooge, Jonah D.
