I like writing the smallest of short stories here are a few I have written based off princesses..

Snow by Dakota Day

He looked at her.

There she laid white as snow.

Snow, like the day she was born.

A single tear rolled down his now bearded cheek at the memory, and he smiled.

Then he shut the glass door to where she lay, waiting.

Play by Dakota Day

Once upon a time, the princess could play all night and day, unaware of anyone watching her. As she grew older, she grew more silent. She still had some of the stories but they were all in her head. As the years went by she played even less for fear of being seen, and thought of a fool.

Though, one night, she found herself back in her old playing grounds. She stood in the warm welcoming wind ready to play when she realized nothing was coming. She was too weighed down with “adult” problems to think of anything to play. Then she looked up and saw a face of judgement coming from a castle window.

And she was done.

Pray by Dakota Day

The murderer was unaware.

That he was the prey of his prey.

Max by Dakota Day

She ran down the stairs with a great speed, and made it outside quickly. The bastard who did this will pay, she thought. She threw her hands up and froze the scene. She was looking for the only moving person. Then she found him, her boyfriend. Why? Why would he do this? He turned to face her, but her eyes dropped to the baby in its carrier and it was silent.

Frozen by Dakota Day

She pounded down the steps enraged at the King.

He did not understand how he upset her yet, but he would soon.

She lifted her hands to the sky and with a stomp, it began.

Clear and crystal, then collecting, forming and becoming something more than her.

These moments of clarity refocused her.


I wonder if you can guess my favorite?

Thanks for reading!

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
