Hi guys! I am Maddy Hess, a 19 year old from a small town. I have always had a passion for writing. When I was younger I would have never feel comfortable showing my work to someone who wasn’t my english teacher or family member. I also gave up writing…

20

20. I am 20. I am happy and healthy and I am 20. I never imagined life at 20. I felt like it was too far off to even imagine. I never thought I would be 20. I. don’t know what I thought. Maybe I thought the clock would stop…

A Relaxing Workout

Did you know there is a way to workout and relax at the same time? When I was working at my old job I would be standing in the same spot for hours on end. So, I was pretty physically exhausted after a long shift. One day before bed I…

The past year of my life has been absolutely fucking insane. However, I will say 19 was my fucking year. I grew up and learned a few things about myself and life. I developed a confidence that I don’t let people mess with my vibes. …

Sometimes I Fall Off the Face of the Earth

Now, while I might be extremely friendly (lol) and a people person. I am still and forever will be an introvert. I like staying in and binge watching shows or talking walks around town just getting lost in thought. Granted, the right company is always a plus. My phone has…

The One Where I Turn 20 (In Two Months)

I am Woman

I am a daughter. I am a sister. I am a friend. I am a partner. I am woman. I am a forest fire that you cannot extinguish. I am the calm soothing rain. I am the sun burning bright. I am the moon lighting up the night. I am woman. I am the rage my mother had when she came running down in her robe because she heard a boy being disrespectful towards me. I am the anxiety that has lived inside me for years.

I am Woman

I am a daughter.

I am a sister.

I am a friend.

I am a partner.

I am woman.

I am a forest fire that you cannot extinguish.

I am the calm soothing rain.

I am the sun burning bright.

I am the moon lighting up the night.

I am woman.

I am the rage my mother had when she came running down in her robe because she heard a boy being disrespectful towards me.

I am the anxiety that has lived inside me for years.

I am the tears of a sad little girl sitting all alone.

I am the toothless smile of a second grader on her first day.

I am woman.

I am feared.

I am loved.

I am belittled.

I am scared.

I will not be silenced.

I am woman.

Dear Creepy Dude,

Hiya. I am the girl you've made gross conversation with and creepily followed since she was a junior in high school. I just wanted to let you know how fucking weird that is. Like you look like you are about 50–60. You also look like a rejected AC/DC and Kiss…

Who am I?

As a kid, I never knew what group I was meant to belong to. I constantly had this feeling of not fitting it. I could never decide what I wanted to be. I always wanted to be a little bit of everything. When I was younger I wanted to be…
