How Alcoholism Shaped My American Dream
Life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness are the three ideal components that make up the American dream for most US citizens. The ownership of a home, obtaining college degree, and starting a family are some of the most common responses individuals will give when asked what their dream is.

A Letter to My Dear Friend, Winter
Dear Winter, You’ve ice-kissed the magical outdoors of Summer, passing arctic winds from your lips to hers, killing anything that thrived.
