A Letter to the Girl with Daddy Issues
Dear Broken Girl, You are chasing attention and affection in all the wrong places. Playing pretend because you think that’s as good as you can do. You think that you will never find a better man. You don’t respect yourself because you’ve been disrespected and disregarded. You’ll grow up not believing that love is really […]
Haunted Memories
I live in a town filled with ghosts. Constant visual representations of the past haunt me daily. A tiny town filled with too much history I can’t seem to escape. When I look out the window directly across the street sits a small old house, where the first man I ever loved lived years ago. […]

Bawling about my ex-boyfriend and how I had no home. You never judged. We occupied the same spaces; your calmness and genuine sweetness […]
On North 4th Street
Something about the way the sun comes through the trees always reminds me of her. Not so much that she was into nature as much as she was into beautiful things. She loved beautiful weather, beautiful music, and beautiful scenery. She would go on and on about it. Going outside was the way she broke […]
A Constant
You woke up and it started. The demands of the day. The world in a state of chaos over an election. Over a virus that won’t go away. You have bills that need to be paid. Things that need to be figured out.Relationships that need fixing. Decisions to be made. Before you know it you’re […]
