Lights were flashing behind me as I was driving. I quickly asked myself if I had been driving badly but I knew that couldn’t be it. It had been weeks since I crashed into anything… I barely noticed them because my window tint is so dark on my vehicle. And then I realized I was […]
I sliced open the tape of the last moving box to reveal its contents. There, wrapped ever so gently, was a bunch of shit I didn’t really care about and could live without. “I don’t even remember owning this.” I thought to myself. I was so done with unpacking. But this was kind of it. […]
I cried today. I also cried three days in a row last week. It got to a point where my husband had to ask if I am getting my period. He asked ever so gently, tiptoeing around the word “period.” Like a good boy, but honestly shame on him for even asking in the first […]

7:00am. The household was sleeping while my dad and I had a quick cup of coffee together before we took off for work. I could feel my heart pounding because this was the moment I had to tell him what I had done… I had asked for a transfer at work, and my twenty year […]
