My Life in Scratch Paper

Lately I’ve been writing more lists than usual except the content is greater than the amount of characters used.  In some way I’ve made it possible to acutely detail my necessities at any given moment and for any other given moment all squished on a Post-It.  It’s strange but I’ve revealed more of myself on [...]

The Un-Friending Process

When the staleness of a past argument is left in your mouth, nothing tastes right.  Nothing feels right either.  Things you once used to enjoy are laced with a frown, pulling at your smiles.  Words spoken or unspoken keep you from progressing anywhere back to “normal” or forward.  Why can’t a friendship be stronger than [...]

The Morning After

I was really  hurt this morning.  I didn’t know what to think about last night — how we all had things we wanted to say, but strangely the “silent ones” spoke first — and loudly. Last night I was not silent. I snapped my words in a sharp tongue that was stronger than I anticipated.  [...]

Reflection #5 [Best Friends Club]

Amidst the soft glow of the stoplights scattered through town, I questioned myself deeper with the company of my closest friends.  The three of us are all on different tracks but we are still able to relate to one another through our made-up metaphors of oatmeal and cakes.  We can justify our own actions through [...]

Journey Your Dream

Take what is already yours and breathe in what is desired. Noise the shy and solemn path the stranger so admired. Hush your frantic friend with ease and show you won’t be lost. Filth your voice with lies that say, “I already know the cost”. Ocean the stream that separates your  neighbor from your friend. [...]
