The Charade
There was a time when I could write entire worlds without an ounce of strain. I could convey my feelings in prose or weave words into scenes that would unfold in the reader’s mind like the soft petals of a rose in bloom. I took it all for granted. It was my gift and I…

Stop Being Dicks
Whenever a well-known entity commits suicide, we’re subjected to at least a month or two of everyone spreading messages about suicide prevention.

Definitely Today
Sleeplessness is something I’ve been battling a lot over the past few months. After being laid of on April 24, I expected to slide into a new job relatively soon thereafter.
