It had been a simple realization that had changed Debra's life

1.
perspective. It was really so simple that she was embarrassed that she
had lived the previous five years with the way she measured her worth.
Now that she saw what she had been doing, she could see how sad it
was. That made her all the more relieved she had made the change.
The number of hearts her Instagram posts received wasn't any longer
the indication of her own self-worth.

2. If you can imagine a furry humanoid seven feet tall, with the face of an
intelligent gorilla and the braincase of a man, you'll have a rough idea
of what they looked like -- except for their teeth. The canines would
have fitted better in the face of a tiger, and showed at the corners of
their wide, thin-lipped mouths, giving them an expression of ferocity.

3. Terrance knew that sometimes it was simply best to stay out of it. He
kept repeating this to himself as he watched the scene unfold. He
knew that nothing good would come of him getting involved. It was far
better for him to stay on the sidelines and observe. He kept yelling this
to himself inside his head as he walked over to the couple and
punched the man in the face.

4. There was only half a worm in the apple. At first, Judy didn't quite
comprehend what this meant. "Why would only half a worm be living in
an apple?" she wondered. And then it dawned on her. Judy quickly spit
out the bite she had just taken expecting to see the other half of the
worm. It ended up being much worse than that.

5. Mary had to make a decision and she knew that whatever decision she
made, it would upset someone. It seemed like such a silly reason for
people to get upset but she knew the minute that she began to
consider doing it that there was no way everyone in her life would be
pleased with what she ultimately decided to do. It was simply a
question of who she would rather displease most. While this had
always been her parents, and especially her mom, in the past that she
tried to keep from upsetting, she decided that this time the person she
was going to please the most with her decision was herself.
6. There was a time when this wouldn't have bothered her. The fact that it
did actually bother her bothered her even more. What had changed in
her life that such a small thing could annoy her so much for the entire
day? She knew it was ridiculous that she even took notice of it, yet she
was still obsessing over it as she tried to fall asleep.

7. I haven't bailed on writing. Look, I'm generating a random paragraph at

this very moment in an attempt to get my writing back on track. I am
making an effort. I will start writing consistently again!

8. It was difficult to explain to them how the diagnosis of certain death

had actually given him life. While everyone around him was in tears
and upset, he actually felt more at ease. The doctor said it would be
less than a year. That gave him a year to live, something he'd failed to
do with his daily drudgery of a routine that had passed as life until then.

9. Her hair was a tangled mess which she tried to make presentable by
putting in a lump on the top of her head. It didn't really work although it
was a valiant attempt. While most people simply noticed the tangled
mess on top of her head, what most people failed to understand that
within the tangles mess was an entirely new year. That was her secret.
She kept worlds on top of her head.

10. He dropped the ball. While most people would think that this was a
metaphor of some type, in Joe's case it was absolutely literal. He had
hopes of reaching the Major League and that dream was now it great
jeopardy. All because he had dropped the ball.
