Regarding Gary

How is it that you can mourn the loss of a man who isn’t dead? Over the years I’ve learned that it’s quite simple. My mom likes to think that the depression stemmed from what happened to my father – in my opinion, it’s always been there, but of course to a young girl whose […]

Mental Health Update

Even though I’m sure as exhausting for the people that read as it is for me to write, I will never stop talking about how I feel and what it’s like to live with depression. I fully understand that people can have it worse than others. At my worst, I was getting help at a […]

I’m Not Okay :’)

Don’t fucking read this if you’re feeling some type of way about me. I don’t need your comments or eyerolls. I once read this quote that goes: When does the depression end? When it ends you.I think it’s natural as human beings to assume that when we have found a partner that wants to share […]

What Y’all Might Not Know

I’ve been away for a while. The writing comes and goes these days – you know? Priscilla and Tracy are so active and supportive with what I’m writing next.

To New Beginnings

It has been literal YEARS since I’ve changed the theme of this blog. Sadly to say, it’s been almost a year, to the date, where I’ve published anything on here at all. That’s not to say I’ve disregarded writing entirely – there’s still hundreds of hot messes that I call drafts that I have yet […]

I wish I could count the number of times that I’ve come to my mother with a problem that I’ve faced regarding relationships and my mental health. The truth is, the answer will always be infinite – I […]

Where She Comes From

Oh, if I had a dollar for every time I heard myself or one of my friends say: but he’s different, or, but there’s just something different about him, we could’ve each gotten top-of-the-line dildos and fucked ourselves right then and there. January 2016. I met someone. At first, he was everything I had wanted: […]

I Used To Write

I used to write of lovers, Of men that made my day. I used to write of love But there’s nothing more to say. I used to write of heartbreak, When I knew it very well; It’s still etched inside my bones In case you couldn’t tell. I used to write for people That I […]
