Ugly Truth: Most U.S. Citizens Can't Afford Thanksgiving This Year
I don't know about all of you, but I'm a little stressed about the holidays. Millions are going to have to struggle to have a Thanksgiving. My family included. Sure, there are food banks around here, but honestly? There are people out there who need help more than we do right now - and we refuse to take food out of other people's and children's mouths if we can scrounge up change through our odd sources of income. We even have a few luxuries we can sacrifice, such as Disney+ and Netflix.

Memoirs of the In-Between - Chapter 14
That morning when I awoke, I found I was still encased in Leon’s arms. He was still sleeping soundly, his long waist-length raven-black hair fanned out under him, some of it blending with my own long brown locks. A feeling of warmth rushed through my chest and my gut. Reluctantly, I slipped from his arms without waking him and dressed quietly. Before slipping out of his house, I leaned down and pressed my lips to his cheek.

Memoirs Of the In-Between Chapter 13
When we reached the main cafeteria hall, Kora led me in, where a large group of people were sitting. Among the familiar faces were Ivan, holding Rachel’s hand, Nakita, Elliot, Artemius, and Vivian. I was a bit surprised to see Artemius and Vivian, but I decided not to draw attention to myself by expressing it to them.

Memoirs Of the In-Between Chapter 12
Chapter 12 The first three days after Alice’s send-off, I spent mostly in bed crying. Those days were a blur, but I remember everyone being at my side during certain points. Not once during my deepest sadness did I ever feel alone, and it was unfamiliar in the best way.

Memoirs of the In-Between Bonus Chapter - Grief, Love, And Healing
The day after Alice’s sending, I slept a lot. I woke up late in the evening, my body sore, and stiff and my eyes hurt after crying so much the two days before. It was hard to believe that she’d been gone for two days now. I looked at her Amaranth, which was wrapped in a light blue piece of cloth... her handkerchief that she carried in her pocket. I could still smell the lavender that was always in the pocket with it.
