I Am Bigger Than The Things That Scare Me, But This Feels Different.

I know now what you want. I know now how you want to do this. I, for lack of a prettier way to say this, am not ready to do it. I might be in a month. I might never be. I don’t expect you to convince me, or to wait for me. Even if you did, it wouldn’t be something that you would need to shut ...

Chill Boys, And Fire Women.

There is nothing aspirationally cool or chill about boys like this -- a better description would be frozen by fear. Perhaps a more honest disclaimer would be "Hey, nice to meet you, I’m a coward. This means that while I’m keen to see what being with you would be like, I’m too afraid to actually ...

Jump Out Of Your Victim Story And Into Spirit.

I recently came across an article on emotional abuse in romantic relationships. And it got me thinking. Past memories came up to the surface of my consciousness — memories of both experiencing the abuse and witnessing it. Emotional abuse. Sexual abuse. Physical abuse. This isn’t the time ...

Our Symphony Has Stopped: A Letter To My Lost Love.

Your new life is in a home I'll never visit, filled with furniture I'll never see. But there amongst the books and trinkets, amidst the coffee cups and sheets, there are traces of me. Of us. An echo of laughter. An imprint of interlaced fingers. An unfinished argument. A chapter that never ...
