Because
I keep this space open in my life because it’s here, in this obscure place, I share a different layer of me.
I’m glad this exists.

Five Truths for Breakfast
1. I am easily distracted by the possibility of affection.
2. I have WAY TOO MUCH on my plate for distractions.
3. I’m considering a staunch unplug from everything for a month. At least.
4. Doing this would force me to face my loneliness. Something that kind of terrifies me.
5. I am only human.

Upon Waking
So I’ve begun to notice a weird trend in my morning writing. If I have coffee that’s sweet and light, my writing tends to be a little more forgiving, a little more smooth, and tends to flow better.
If, however, I go for black coffee with just a little sugar, the writing is a bit slash-and-burn, aggressive, and angry.
I wonder if there’s a strange correlation between milk in...

A Letter, To Myself
I’m feeling a little revelatory. Read with intent. Trigger warnings: violence, language, imagery
Dear Thom,
There are some things you need to realize. There are some things you need to hear, and understand. Know that these words come from a place of love.
You were a very naive boy. When you were seventeen, and on the verge of taking flight from your home, you didn’t know...

Another Awkward Moment
She sits mere feet away. She’s crying. She’s upset and talking loudly to someone on her cell phone.
She’s speaking Spanish.
I’m unable to understand a word of what’s going on, but my heart breaks for anyone that upset at 6:30 in the morning.

I have been told to be less harsh and judgmental of myself. Also to let the writing guide me.
This is why I am here.

Finding the Words
I’m working on a piece that hurts to write. I’m finding myself being put back into a place and time I’d sooner like to forget. It’s vital to the larger memoir I’m writing. It is a struggle, to say the least.
I’m wondering, Tumblr people, how do you write about old trauma? How do you create a safe space to return to that dark place? Do you have any...

Because
Friends have told me to be braver. They’ve told me I can do this, that, and whatever else I put my mind or my heart (or both) into.
This post is because I love them all. This post is because I might just be a bit braver and daring because of them.

Packet Response
My advisor wants more of me in my writing. Just when I thought I was getting there, he’s called me out on it. It’s left me a bit breathless, but it was the harsh reality check I needed. This is my constant struggle. I can’t seem to get out the words in the format and way that I should. I talk in circles around what it is I’m trying to say. I can’t get to the meat of the matter. My...
