  • Are the sleepwalkers afraid to go into the darkness? I think they are. Not because the darkness is dangerous. Not because something is waiting for them there. Because the darkness asks questions the daylight lets them avoid. The darkness is different when you’re strange. When you’re weird. When you’ve spent your entire life being told…

  • There is a dangerous thing that happens when people mistake kindness for weakness.Not compassion. Not patience. Weakness. That is where people get themselves hurt. So let me say this out loud so everybody can hear it clearly in the back of the room where denial likes to sit with its legs crossed pretending it did…

  • Some people swear life happened to them. No. Sometimes life handed you a shovel and quietly stepped back to see what kind of person you really were. That is the part nobody wants to talk about.

  • What you do with your body every day is a message to your mind about who you are. Not your affirmations. Not your Pinterest board. Not your “new month new me” speech typed out at 2:14 a.m. while eating shredded cheese over the sink like a rat with unresolved trauma. Your body knows the truth…

  • Everybody worries about enemies. The loud ones. The jealous ones. The fake pages watching your stories at two in the morning like it is a full-time position with no benefits. People spend years looking over their shoulder for attacks coming from the outside. Meanwhile the real danger is sitting across from them asking if they…
