The Guy on the Right by Kate Stewart

Strike One-My mother named me Theodore after her favourite chipmunk. I‘ve spent most of my life answering to Teddy because I couldn’t make Theo work. Except for here. College.

Drive by Kate Stewart

Drive by Kate Stewart

The average song is three and a half minutes long; those three and a half minutes could lead to a slow blink, a glimpse of the past, or catapult the soul into heart-shattering nostalgia.

You see, my favourite songs had a way of playing simultaneously. I was in love with one man’s beats and another’s lyrics. But when it came to the soundtrack of a life, how could anyone choose a favourite song? So, to erase any doubt, I ditched my first-class ticket and decided to take.⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣… Read more.
