"Was it hard?" I ask. ''Letting go? Not as hard as holding on to something that wasn't real."

COMPLETED I held it in my hands close to my heart - that's how I heard it you know - the butterfly. It told me all of its stories; big as small, beautiful as unpleasant, crucial as insignificant.

She wanted to be okay again.

This woman could have been a spy, a duchess and the lover of a young cameraman all at once. She was a conjurer of a thousand stories, each unique to every observer; the elusive face behind any tale you put to her. {Written 2013.}

"My Mama hates me. She's jealous of me. She hates me. She hates me." Read at your own caution. This is a dark story.

"I like drinking coffee or tea, and reading alone; I like riding the bus alone, and walking home alone; It gives me time to think, and set my mind free; I like eating alone, and listening to music alone; But when I see a mother with her child; A girl with her lover; Or a friend laughing with their best friend; I realize that even though I like being alone, I don't fancy being lonely."

Parents don't exactly realise the damage and impact that the occasional slight remarks they make can have. On the rare occasions that they realise they shouldn't have said something, they make the huge mistake of just assuming that the young ones won't remember. That the words they uttered are meaningless and won't leave an impression on their children. Sometimes, all it takes to fix it is an apology.
