Christmas
The food is eaten,
there are carols on tv,
seven people in the lounge
of a housing trust home.

And I want to see you,
Though I say I don’t.
And I want you to miss me,
Though you said you won’t.
.
Time is meant to heal
So why do I still care?
Why do I still miss the you
Who is no longer there?

I miss you
I want the pizza we always used to make. I want to walk to the shops, buy the pizza ingredients, argue about which meat we’re having, and walk back. I want to comment on how I wish I knew how to clean a sieve. I want to drain the pineapple while he puts tomato sauce and meat on the bases. I want to have that conversation of “is this enough? do you want more? less?” and then...

Stories from Highschool: 5
My very own love triangle / Formals suck.
In April a boy I liked asked me to go to the formal with him (in November).
In June an old friend of his broke up with her boyfriend. He started flirting with her.
In July he told me that ‘I like both of you. I don’t know what to do. But I’ll still go to the formal with you.’
In August he began to spend more and more time with...

Appreciate the friends who forgive you.
I had a friend in highschool who I wasn’t always nice to. I don’t really want to talk about it. She forgave me. I don’t know why.
If someone forgives you then it means (a) you were terrible and (b) they were incredible. It means you have a friend who has seen you being your worst and is still your friend. That makes no sense! It also...

Stories from Highschool: 4
To the best of my knowledge I cried exactly once at highschool.
Let me first state that I’m very good at soccer. At highschool I played soccer with a large group of guys. I wasn’t better than all of them but I was good enough to keep up with the best. I could tackle pretty well and I was fit. I could pass well and I had good game understanding. Overall, I was just pretty good. I was a...

Stories from Highschool: 3
Once upon a time (at the end of year 7) in a kingdom far, far away (in my year 7 classroom) I discovered that that the easiest way to accidentally, or deliberately, get attention is to beat boys at something they don’t expect you to. It makes them fall in love with you. No joke. It makes their friends fall in love with you too.
Ok that’s not quite what I discovered at the time but it...

Lessons from Highschool: 1
I think this is the most valuable lesson I ever learned at highschool, and, you know, I’m not sure when or where I picked it up.
Act confidently.
So let’s say someone questions you about something you’re doing (not drinking/smoking, studying physics, playing soccer in an all boys team, going out with someone they disapprove of, being Christian, not having fancy cars at your...
