I didn’t want to go to the bar on Friday night but I went. I never voiced that I didn’t want to go because I didn’t want to be at home either. Sometimes I just want to feel a sense of control, to be the one making the call. Sometimes we don’t yet know whyContinue reading “Poetry Series – I See Same”

Poetry Series – Weekend Falling
Life isn’t meant to be easy, only simple. We aren’t meant to make it through unscathed but with stories and lessons. The people that you’re meant to keep around won’t make you feel bad for being who you really* are. If you never have to tell someone that you’re upset, hurt, or “no” in theContinue reading “Poetry Series – Weekend Falling”
Poetry Series – Stories
Everywhere I look, I see the things I asked for. Life feels the most whole it has ever felt even when I’m shattering. Everyone gives me something and I only hope that I’m returning the favor, love the confirmation when I do. I’m trying to remind myself, continually, to not get swept back into theContinue reading “Poetry Series – Stories”
Poetry Series – Silent Crying
Sometimes it feels like the whole world is crashing down around me. Normally, right now, I’d be running.

I love being a witness, being on the receiving end, of those moments. I think the most magical thing we can do isContinue reading “Poetry Series – Infinite”
Poetry Series – Kevin
Rewind to 15-year-old me, I would give you an entire speech about the replaceable nature of people. Present-day, I hold a lot of the same beliefs as that version just in a more mature form. I’d tell you now, give you a whole speech, about how important it is to let go of people. ApproachContinue reading “Poetry Series – Kevin”
Poetry Series – Excitement
I am definitely a little things kind of a person and while I don’t always mention it, or draw attention to it, I appreciate the details of life more than anything. I don’t think there is anything too small to become passionate about, appreciate the fuck out of, build excitement over. Sometimes when talking aboutContinue reading “Poetry Series – Excitement”

Sometimes I have doubts about my compatibility with people, ongoing. I’m continually returning to relationships, experiences, revisiting the question of, for me? I had the same best friend since high school and recently I wondered if we started going down different paths, I faced fear of loss something serious.
