She ripped our hearts out with her words and we love her even more because of it.

The Most Tear-Jerking Post Speakeasy Award goes to…

Lorraine,

for her post, Never Pick Up the Phone.

Here’s a heart-wrenching snippet of her tear-jerking post:

“There wasn’t a boy,” Pink breathed, face flushing. I bet she was feeling every squeeze of her heart at that moment too. “I mean… she says… she says she was raped.”

Thank you for sharing your story with us, Lorraine.

Not feeling inspired? You will once you read this post!

The Most Inspirational Post Speakeasy Award goes to…

Kelly

for her post,

This is Where We Start.

A short snippet of her brilliance:

I WAS trying too hard. I was trying to be cool and hip and funny and witty and outgoing and trend-savvy and all of these things that I’m not. I’m happiest when I’m by myself because when I’m by myself, I’m not trying to impress anyone. I’m just me.

Congrats, Kelly! Thank you for being an inspiration to us all.

We laughed until we cried, but only one post wins the award of Funniest Post.

The Speakeasy Award for the Funniest Post goes to…

Jorge

for his post, Pitfalls of the Spanish Language (Or: How I Inadvertently Propositioned a Supermarket Employee).

A snippet of the hilarious brillance:

Naive and clueless as I was, I turn to the shopper closest to me– a lady in her forties– and I ask her, “excuse me, do you know where the guasca is?”. She grimaces in disgust and keeps walking, completely ignoring my question. I find this pretty rude, but think nothing of it. “She’s probably in a hurry”, I think to myself. “Most people in this city seem to be in a hurry.”

(but seriously, guys, go read the whole hysterical thing.)

Congratulations, Jorge!
