Short Stories On Odyssey: She Isn't Unique

Her mind is different, understanding the perspective of life in a way no one else would ever think to view it, never think to think it. She sees color but in black and white, she hears voices that dictate her choices, but those arguments she fights with herself.

No, she was not a unique person, nor will she ever be. Her mind is a twisted pathway that holds dark corners of insecurities and rejections and her very own self-reflections that take away the true glimpses of the woman in the mirror. No, she was not a unique person because she did not feel herself to be one, and she understood that.

She knows you didn't, at first.

Her stomach is the hole of her mind and her heart, triggering emotions and obsessions that reveal nothing but attention in the way she would never see herself. Her smile holds nothing, a face of light and joy, but its meaning resists the good-hearted with pride. No, she isn't unique because she detests the body of the angel and follows the critic of the devil, and her opinions are what society uses to feed programs, restrictions, and unhealthy evaluations. You know she isn't unique.

She hates you for it.

Her love is fake for she does not return it to where it came from. Her heart is cold, collecting thoughts and phrases of the worst judge that like a parasite clogs her mind of all that is righteous and good. Her laugh will fade like paint for it is not real; it too holds an echo of somber memories and lies that shadow cries. Her cries are pitiful, pathetic—how could they mean anything? How can she be unique?

She knows and she understands that.

No, she isn't unique, and she knows that.

You know that.

Why do you believe that you know that?

Because you asked yourself,

And she confirmed.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.

1. It's easy to be fooled by shiny things.

Tamatoa created a liar filled with shiny things simply for the purpose of tricking fish to enter and become his food. He too experiences a lesson in how easy it is to be tricked by shiny things when Moana distracts him by covering herself in glowing algae so Maui can grab his hook.
