Letters She’ll Never Send IV

I ran. I pushed it down and away under the pretense that I was protecting your job. But really I was freaking out. Yes partially because I was worried about work and what it would mean for you if they kept pushing, but mostly I was afraid of YOU, the way I told your that…

Letters She’ll Never Send III

You know why it’s obnoxious? You know why I try to choke it down? Because. Because there is something about you from the day that I met you, I mean like really met you, that has me wanting to consume you. Entirely. I want to dive into you until I’m so deep into your soul…

Carry On

I wonder what it is that continously pulls you to my mind. Why when I’m driving in the car your face will pop into my head and I’m wondering how it is you’re doing? Have you thought of me recently? How is it that your impact on my life could be so significant (for no…

Stargazer

Yesterday I went to the supermarket to pick up dinner and found myself wandering around the floral department. You see I had purchased a small bouquet of flowers a few months ago and when they died they had dried in the most beautiful way that they stayed fully intact and simply looked like they were…

A Moment II

She watched him sitting next to her as he spoke. Not across the booth like most men she’d dated had done. But NEXT to her. God was she even dating this man?! No. They weren’t even dating the first time they had slept together. Or the 7th. They’d never been dating. They’d just been…. ughh!…

A Moment

It’s late. About 1:30am. My tiny attic apartment is hot and getting hotter by the minute as the steam rises out of the stainless steel sink. A sink that for some reason seems too low to the ground tonight. My back is aching, my feet are swollen, and my body is shaking. But I have…

Shadows

At first I thought you chose her because she brought you peace… and that I did not. But that wasn’t it. No…. it wasn’t. I brought you peace. But I brought the type of peace that comes with the moon. The kind that comes from facing your demons… the ones hiding in the dark corners…

Call Me Alice

I lose myself sometimes. • Like the Hatter says to Alice, I lose my muchness. • I forget what it’s like at the top of the rabbit hole because I am so busy looking up I cannot see how far I have already come and that I am almost out on the other side of…

Balance: An Act of Perfect Imbalance

They say life is all about finding balance. Work-life balance, love-life balance, just balance. What we fail to realize is that balance is in fact an act of perpetual imbalance. I found myself on the lower side of that this week, feeling the weight of everything around me sitting solely on my shoulders; the weight…

Just Another Magic Monday ✨

Aladdin’s magic lamp, an enchanted rose, a a glass slipper that should have disappeared at midnight, a spindle of a spinning wheel, or a poison apple. For better or worse these magical items were ordinary objects until someone extraordinary touched them. A genie, an enchantress, a fairy godmother, an evil queen, and a sea witch….
