Two weeks ago, I asked on my Instagram, what should I write about next? The options were change and forgiveness. Change won. Two weeks ago, I had put in my notice at the grocery store I have worked at for the last year and a half. I was excited to begin a new chapter, to … Continue reading Two Weeks Ago

I joined a dating site (again) because I'm bored and a masochist, apparently. This morning I had the pleasure of speaking with Drew. Drew asked me a couple questions about the software engineering degree I'm pursuing, whether or not I was at work and who this man is in one of the Instagram pictures on … Continue reading validation
signs
I think a lot about this sign, I saw in a coffee shop. And I think about that coffee shop and how everyone inside looked like a social media influencer but seemed to lack anything genuine and I know, I'm being judgmental about people I don't know and a place I went to once but … Continue reading signs

The hour between 4 and 5 in January in Michigan is my favorite moment of everyday.

I saw you from a distance, you were lost in thought. a familiar feeling rose in my stomach as I recalled the first time you kissed me, in the shade, along the banks of a lazy river, on a midwest summer afternoon.

A singular trumpet plays with a piano echo and a stand up bass moving forward. I'm in your apartment in a hazy cloud left over from the night staring out the window. It's winter in the city, the snow is falling on the Detroit River and the trumpet plays on. I can still remember the … Continue reading miles davis
voting
I did the voting thing. Votings kind of strange experiance. You stand in line so they can confirm you're, you. Meanwhile, people around you want to make small talk and comment about how many people are there, how it's a good thing and how they don't like absentee ballots because "I want to come and do … Continue reading voting
