Shame & Shave (a poem)
Knowing what you shouldn’t have done Isn’t enough to nullify The searing embers that lap along My skin, tearing it from my body. Who am I? Who am I?

A letter to my writing buddies
You’ll get there one day. I can’t tell you where “there” is but your version of it is coming, as long as you don’t give up, that is. Everything you write might seem wrong right now. That’s okay.

A different New Year’s perspective
I think we need to bring balance to this New Year. Where we set goals or intentions or to-do lists, but we also let go of shame and anger that comes with not achieving those things. I’m someone who believes in ambition and doing your best and trying to improve. But I’m also learning about… Continue reading A different New Year’s perspective
