"But would it have mattered if she'd been someone else? If she'd been a social butterfly, they would have said she liked to drink away her pain. If she'd been a straight-A student, they would have said she'd been eaten alive by her perfectionism. There were always excuses for why girls died." Alex has had …
Petunias
You run to the window, it's snowing! Ah wait, are those snowflakes? No... what is falling from the sky? Ah, Petunias. They float lazily through the breeze, softly touching the green grass. Not a sound to be heard, just the soft chirping of a nearby mockingbird. The air smells clean and fresh, with a sweet …
This Tender Land
"In every good tale there is a seed of truth, and from that seed a lovely story grows. Some of what I've told you is true and some... well, let's just call it the bloom on the rosebush. A woman who can heal the afflicted? A girl who looks into the future and wrestles with …
Stories
I'm a big fan of a good story, to me it isn't about the medium, books, movies, shows, comic books, video games, that's irrelevant. However it may look, a good story is critical. There are books I've read that I don't remember well because overall the story didn't stick with me. Same with all the …
Impressions
You ever wonder what people think of you? Truly, what was their first impression of you, how do you measure up to what they want from you, are you a hero or a disappointment? I say to myself I don't care what people think of me, which is true to a certain extent. Those people …
Alone Time
I think it is highly important that people choose to have alone time. By that I mean solidarity, just you. I'm not saying you just sit in a room by yourself for thirty minutes, that would be a boring way to spend your time. I mean find something you can do for thirty minutes that …
Namesake
I am a huge animal lover, especially cats. I don't know what it is about cats, but they hold a very special place in my heart. I have two cats at the moment, Loki and Luna. Hence, the reason my blog is Lokiluna. I have a dog as well but adding her name seemed like …
Struggles
I haven't been able to write, I haven't been able to think about anything that may be beneficial for me to write. I've been struggling with finding the right words to express myself. I figured I would just try to share how frustrated I've been with things that have been occurring in the United States …
Abbott and Costello
"Now look, I'm gonna put my hand in your mouth, don't bite it!" That is my favorite quote from my favorite Bud Abbott and Lou Costello movie, Hold That Ghost. I am not a classic movie guru, though I definitely enjoy a good black and white movie. People who refuse to watch a black and white …
Brain, Please Shut Up
You can't seem to fall asleep, here I'll ramble for you. Brain, please shut up. Do you remember your prom, when that cute, mean, popular boy, was waving at you so you happily waved back, but he wasn't waving at you, just whoever was behind you? Brain, please shut up. Decisions, decisions, neither one is …
