(Heart)Broken Bones. Runner-Up in Identity Challenge.
When a sport becomes the defining factor of your identity, an injury can feel like becoming worthless. From ages four to twelve, I was a competitive gymnast training in USAG. On average, I was practicing at the gym between twenty and twenty-five hours a week, plus competing on weekends during meet season. I even attended the pre-practice homeschool classes whenever they were offered. Gymnastics was undoubtedly the bulk of my elementary years, taking up most of my extracurricular time, providing me the most social interaction, and sculpting much of the characteristics that have come to make up my personality to this day. Being a gymnast was nearly equivalent to my name in terms of identity.

Playlist for the Hopeless Anti-Romantics
To all those with a love-hate relationship with romance... There's no shortage of love songs out there, so here are a few of my favorite songs with a bit of an anti-romantic theme, with a touch of hopeless romantic (based on personal interpretations). Feel free to comment any song suggestions you have as well!

Origins. Runner-Up in Writers Challenge.
My first piece? I couldn't remember it off hand, so I dug up my old journals to try and figure it out. What I found was a small poem from my early teen years. I hadn't tried poetry or much of any writing by that time, so I made this one as a challenge to myself to try anyway. I've never received extensive education on proper poetry, and I knew even less at the time of writing it, so that's exactly what I wrote about: what I didn't know.

A Critique of Prisoners (2013)
Prisoners invites viewers into a whirlwind of tragedy, grief, and humanity's ongoing struggle with the unpredictable evils of this world. Allured by well-executed action sequences, dreary cinematography, a haunting soundtrack, and outstanding acting performances, audiences are challenged to explore the darkest parts of ourselves as we grasp for fleeting hope.

Seven Deaths
The mirror showed a reflection that wasn't my own, and that was the first time I realized I was capable of feeling fear. No, the reflection in the broken glass was that of a woman in her thirties, short but muscular, curly black hair, nose piercing. She had been my sixth victim. No, seventh.
