Real Stories

If, Monet

If Monet,

If we had time, would you have counted on me

If Monet,

If we had trusted, would you have loved me longer

If Monet,

If I had the courage, would I have been safe

If Monet,

If I had listened, would you have stayed

If Monet,

If I had given you the bricks, what would you have built me?

If Monet,

If I was more present, would I have told you how I felt?

If Monet,

If the fire hadn’t burned through, would there still be me and you?

I'm a 27 year old writer from Kentucky, and this is my second year in Chicago. I have fallen in love with this city, and with the new oppurtunities for growth that it's given me. I feel like now more than ever, is the perfect time for me to share my words and my experiences with the world.
