It’s My First Time Too

The changes we undergo are the beginnings of many firsts. I doubt anyone remembers their first steps, the way you struggled with each step. You probably fell, time and time again, and eventually you learned how to walk, your feet steady, and your first time became somewhat cherished — by your parents, your family, and [...]

If The Sun Refused To Shine

Baby, would I still be your lover? I’ve been loved for false versions of myself. In return, I’ve been despised for the things I told people through honesty. But it’s far, far more fulfilling, because it’s tiring, it’s tiring to act like a robot or the friendly-face template that smiles at every single person when [...]

I hope this letter finds you well. I am writing to you today with a heavy heart, filled with regret and remorse for the pain I have caused you.

Urban Dictionary definition of “bitch”: Someone who is inconsiderate and insensitive. Hey there,  Remember me? Oh wait, how could you forget me?   That’s a somewhat impossible task to do when you have tabs on my entire life.  You think that I’m stupid.  You think that I don’t realize that it's you; again.  I will never [...]

An Open Letter to The Girl Who’s Afraid to Let Anyone In

I know you’re scared. You have every reason to be. I know you’ve seen relationships fail. I know you’ve seen heartbreak. I know you’ve experienced your tears absorb into your pillow in the darkness of the night – that no one can dry but you. I know there have been people who have hurt you, [...]

An Open Letter To The Addict

DEAR ADDICT, I know you. I know who you are. I may not know your name. But I KNOW you. I AM you. I’d like to tell you a few things. First, let me say that I know at no point in your life did you choose to be the way you are. I know you [...]
