It was a Tuesday in July

I fell deep in love while July was in full swing with humidity and heat waves and there I was, falling for someone like all the cliches and it really was all the cliches. It’s everything you dreamed about before your standards were lowered by all your horrendous exes and you were eventually soured onContinue reading “It was a Tuesday in July”

to an old friend: a letter I’ll never send

I remember getting mad at you for things you couldn’t control. I was so naive back then and so were you. I remember when you told me you couldn’t be there for me and I took it personal. I realized later that it wasn’t personal, but the way you treated me made it feel likeContinue reading “to an old friend: a letter I’ll never send”

I want to be brave for you

Birds | #flashfiction

It was a brisk spring morning, not a sound but the birds in the sky. The birds sing to each other, a song I can’t quite understand, but it comforts me. It’s the sounds of the spring and summer, and they start bright and early. I sit and I listen, and I wonder. I wonderContinue reading “Birds | #flashfiction”

the sticky summer air

The sticky summer air wants to know how I’ve been since we last talked. I’ve had my ups and downs but I’m here now. I didn’t find God but I did find a purpose hidden somewhere between the stationary aisle of CVS and New England in September. Sometimes winter feels like going through hell andContinue reading “the sticky summer air”
