Letter #5- To you, my sort-of first love
It was like lightning shooting through my heart when I first saw you, Round eyes, cute nose and that cheek length hair that would give 90s heartthrobs a run for their money You were cute, but I didn’t know your age, thinking you were younger The girls talked about you, the cute, young guy that… Continue reading Letter #5- To you, my sort-of first love
I Want Revenge, But I Miss You More
Can't believe you. Why did you take so long? This sucks. A girl needs her dad. But also I felt more of your parent than your kid. All it takes for me is to be home sick in be for you to call. I'm not home most of the time because I don’t like it… Continue reading I Want Revenge, But I Miss You More

Letter #3- To Them
Dear Dad, A day doesn’t go by when I don't think about you. It will be two years since I've seen you in person and my heart aches to see you again.

“I’ll do better by me”
I want to apologize to myself since I meant to keep this up as a log of my twenties and I'm barely halfway and I want to keep this up. I initially wanted this to be an art portfolio/writing but it's good to say what I'm feeling day to day. I always struggle to start… Continue reading “I’ll do better by me”
My Other Self
Looking at you, My other self, I hate how anxious we become, Double guessing ourselves, “Did we lock the door? Keys in our bag?” Not trusting anyone or anything, nervous most of the time, No matter how long we’ve known the other person. Head filled with dark thoughts, That makes us cry hot tears, from… Continue reading My Other Self
