  • The Cage That Fed Everyone

    A person who sits with their demons long enough realizes that they are all teachers wearing masks. I used to think they came carrying pitchforks. Turns out they arrived holding mirrors. Funny how disappointment always introduces itself as punishment until enough years pass for you to realize it was simply an instructor with terrible bedside…

  • Waiting Room 7

    There is a waiting room that every person eventually finds. No one tells you where it is. No one hands you directions. One day life simply walks you through the door, takes a seat beside you, and says… “You’re going to be here awhile.” The room isn’t fancy. The chairs are comfortable enough to keep…

  • Blankets We Refuse to Fold

    The first thing you noticed was the sound. Not birds. Not wind. Not laughter. It was the endless whisper of fabric scraping across ancient stone. Thousands of blankets. Dragging. Shifting.

  • The Ones

  • The Eyes That Hated You Watched the Closest

    Listen. I know you feel it. That weight sitting on your chest like something unfinished.That quiet whisper telling you to stay down… just a little longer.That version of you lying there pretending the world stopped spinning just because you got knocked off your feet. But I’m not that voice. I’m the one underneath it. The…

  • What did you think about today?

    ***Thought tracking today*** There’s a version of you that only shows up when everything is lined up right. Good mood. Good energy. No pressure. No noise. No weight on your chest. That version is average. Because anyone can move when the road is clear. The real question is—can you still move when you’re getting hit?…
