I don't know how to start this post. I don't know the words I'm looking for. Words are my greatest tool in this life, and yet they still often fail me. I want to talk about trama. Until my last breath, I think I will always feel like a teacher in my heart. Being human … Continue reading On Trama →

Recently I've been refocusing my desire to take photos into editing photos I already have. I've been playing with a new program that has allowed me to create some really fun art. I wanted to share those pieces I was most proud of here.

We'd been dating about two months when my love printed me the first 3D gift he'd ever given me. I've received several over the last year but, the first was a vase. Together we picked through various designs and, this was the one I settled on. It was so unique and, I assumed the design … Continue reading On Vagina Vases →

Once upon a time, I owned a bar. It was a loud pub on the weekends and quiet retreat on the weekdays. It was the kind of place where regulars became family and I'd give them a ride home. I have a plethora of memories attached to this location. Most are good, some quite funny, … Continue reading On M&M Paintings →

I wrote this back in early 2016. I even submitted it to an anthology and it was published. A moment that I am incredibly proud of. I feel like sharing it on this platform. It's been long enough and I own the rights. It's a piece that I look back on and I smile at … Continue reading Red Lipstick →

My dude moved out of his apartment today. It’s been a long process over the course of a few weeks as moving often is. But this evening we said the big goodbye to his apartment on the north end. I know he has far more to be sentimental about but I’m still a bit sad. … Continue reading On Saying Goodbye to Old Apartments →

I am reminded in recent days that life is precious. Life can be taken in a moment, and the loss ripples through all it touched. As another soul departs and breaks hearts in its wake, I'm left wondering how best to seize the day. How do we take these lessons of loss and turn them … Continue reading On Seizing Life →

In the past couple of weeks, I've been feeling anxious about life. I mean, to be fair, we are in the middle of a pandemic. So I want a partial pass with this bout anxiety. I hear the whole world is hurting in one way or another. I've always tried to be as honest as … Continue reading On Vulnerablity →

In the middle of this pandemic, I've had a lot of time to think about life and the state of my mind. I've been social-distancing at home for more than six weeks now. With the exception of the man I love and the grocery store, I've resorted to face time for my social interactions. I … Continue reading On Memory and Day Dreams →
