Tug of War
Our rope strains. Snaps in half. A table toppled. A dealt deck, confetti. An 80s record wrecked; a silent song. Your brain is a towel, wringing out...

Thank you so much—I’m really
Posted on Fri, 23 May 2025
Thank you so much—I’m really grateful you took the time to read and comment. That means a lot.
I’ve been trying to be more intentional with my poetry lately—more grounded, with clearer visuals that still carry emotional weight underneath....

U Certificate
Posted on Thu, 22 May 2025
That paragraph about the U certificate really made me pause. I think I get what you’re saying—that if a child is forced into something so brutal, something that strips them of safety and innocence, then calling it “adult content” feels like a...

That really means a lot, jolono!
You’ve given me encouragement since I was much younger, and reading this honestly feels like a kind of full-circle moment haha. Thank you for that, and for taking the time to read and respond so generously...

This was such a delightful and honest read! I really appreciated the way you walked us through the different types of addictions—from the obvious ones like smoking and drinking to the more subtle, personal ones like shopping.
The way you...

This was so vivid—I could
Posted on Wed, 21 May 2025

This really resonated with me
Posted on Mon, 19 May 2025
This really resonated with me. I’m absolutely obsessed with Pinterest too — scrolling through the pictures is so inspiring and soothing for me.
That middle stanza hit me hard. I’m still in my 20s, but I already feel like I’m “too old” for...
