The End Of 2019: Looking Back On A Decade (Part 3)
| Part 1 | Part 2 | There’s a lot of reasons why I’m glad 2019- and this decade- is ending. I could list them all, but at the time of writing this, it’s the holidays, and I do care somewhat about those. While this isn’t a true part 3 to my series on looking ...The Nightmares (Prologue to The Golden Wolf Stories)
Sleep was the enemy. The dreams had started again. No. Scratch that. They were nightmares. I couldn’t break free of them, and I couldn’t make them stop. Every single one began the same way. I was back in Vegas and I was back in that room. I couldn’t see them, but I could hear the ...Room To Grow
Lately I’ve been thinking about endings. I’m horrible at endings in all aspects of my life. I will wait to read the last hundred pages of a book because I don’t want to leave the characters. I took seven years to read Harry Potter and The Deathly Hallows. The endings I have experienced have been ...- EnvironmentHealth & WellnessMemoir & AutobiographiesCultureLifestyleCreativityParenting & FamilySelf-Help & Relationships

If you are a parent, chances are that you have said something to the effect of: “If you don’t have anything nice to say, then don’t say anything at all.” It’s a lesson that we learn early in life and try to teach our children as soon as they have the ability to string recognizable ... The Finish Line
About two-and-a-half years ago, she bought a treadmill. It was an impulse buy after two kids at the mall had made a rude comment she’d overheard. For six months, the thing sat in the den’s corner, collecting dust. It made a fine coat rack. A flurry of spring cleaning unburied it. A spark of something ...The End Of 2019: Looking Back On A Decade (Part 2)
Part 1 The end of 2019 signifies the end of 2019 as well as a decade yet looking back feels more like scrolling through last week’s Instagram. It feels like 2016- a hard year for a lot of folks- had just ended. It feels like nothing but a blink of an eye has passed since ...The End Of 2019: Looking Back On A Decade (Part 1)
On December 31st, at 12:01 am, the year of 2019 officially comes to a close. But this isn’t just another end of the year. It’s an end of a decade, from 2009 to 2019. With this post, I want to look back on what stood out to me from this decade. I want to explore ...It’s That Time Of Year Again!
Thanksgiving is over. You’ve survived the marathon cooking, inevitable turkey coma, overeating of pies, and Black Friday shopping. You’re now ready to face the season head-on with the confidence built from past years’ successes, and you’ve stockpiled tape and wrapping paper. You’ve dusted off your favorite holiday sweaters and have your playlists broken in. Thanksgiving ...Worth – A Short Story
I sit on my bed, shirtless and sweating and trying to ignore the pain that floods my legs. Grey smoke curls from my cigarette as I inhale its contents. It burns to ash and scorches my throat. The orange glow that pervades with each inward breath pierces the darkest folds of the night. I’m wide ...Aching (A Poem)
Something inside Pulses Beats Seeks Something out there Elusively sliding Just out of reach Leaving a void Emptiness Vacancy Twisting painful Never to meet
