The Place With The Cream Colored Walls

She finally broke, she wanted to calm the chaos inside her head.

She wanted all the hurt, memories, and scars to go away.

5 hours later she was at the place with the cream-colored walls.

Locks on the outside doors and no privacy within the walls.

All of her belongings taken away from her.

No shoes, no sweatpants, and no hoodies, instead replaced with a sweater too small for her.

She is shown to a small room with two beds, a small shelf, a window, and an adjoining bathroom

She's left to her thoughts as they decide which of her belongings she can keep.

Eventually, she has a couple pairs of shorts, a t-shirt, and a book.

She looks into the small box of a bathroom, barely room to have a shower, toilet, and sink.

The shelf has deodorant, toothbrush, toothpaste, and a small disposable comb.

She looks out the window and finds a small lake in the distance.

The lake reminds her of home.

The trails she would walk and standing on the bridge over the rushing river.

Being able to forget all her troubles.

She's interrupted by a man who introduces himself, but she can't remember the name.

"It's getting late, you should sleep," the man suggests. She nods without saying a word.

He leaves the doorway and she shuts the door before climbing into bed.

The sheets are sterile, like a hospital, she can smell it.

The man opens the door again, "Sorry, you can't close the door all the way."

He leaves the door cracked as he leaves.

She closes her eyes and tries to sleep, but instead her head is full of everyone back home.

Have I disappointed them by coming here?

A single tear escapes her eye, and she hurries to brush it away.

A little while later, the man pokes his head into the room again, and she pretends to be asleep.

Eventually she falls asleep to a night full of nightmares and the chaos within her.

I'm serious

There are tons of unisex names that are popular: Taylor, Alex, Bailey, etc. There are also numerous names that are used for both sexes, but they’re not seen as “unisex” yet. People are slowly becoming accustomed to the dual use of these names, but for the most part, in their minds they associate certain names with certain sexes. And that leaves those of us with these names in many awkward situations.

I'm an anthropology major, and I love every minute of it. I couldn't tell you why, but I guess there's just something about studying different lifestyles that absolutely fascinates me. But anthropology majors definitely have our weird sides, especially when you go to a school that is filled with mostly Business and Bio majors. But us weirdos definitely have a lot in common, specifically these 16 things.

Everyone has insecurities, that's just a fact. You didn't ask to be born this way. You didn't ask to inherit the one trait no one else in your family has. And you definitely didn't ask to be this ghostly white. But as soon as you've learned to live with it for a while (less wrinkles later on in life, right? right???) someone has to ruin it for you. They have to flaunt they're perfectly tanned body from Spring Break and hold their sun-kissed skin against yours. But I've had enough... here are the things that perpetually pale individuals are tired of hearing.
