Love at First Sight
Nothing happened that night. We stayed up almost the entire talking about our shared love of The Beatles, Fleetwood Mac and Pink Floyd. We shared our travel stories and childhood memories. We shared dreams for our future and what we wanted to accomplish in life. We simply shared. It was a beautiful, rated PG conversation. We just so happened to fall in love.

Love at First Sight, 10 Years Later
It was one of those days. I remember it very distinctly. I’d had two exams in classes I was on the cusp of failing, and was scheduled to work the dinner rush as a line-cook at the shitty pub-restaurant I’d been working at all summer. I got home from work that night, and immediately threw myself onto the couch while simultaneously turning on the xbox. I packed a bowl of whoever's weed was sitting on the coffee table, while I waited for Call of Duty to load and match the teams. As soon as I dragged my thumb across the wheel of my lighter, the door swung open with alarming force, and Harry threw himself, excited through the threshold.

Out of Rock Bottom
I was 26 when my pipe-dream of owning a boutique coffee roasting company spiraled into a full-blown reality. Five years of gut blood and mind sweat rewarded me with an incomprehensible wealth of knowledge and "real-world" experience. Now 32, I'm separated from my wife and mother of my two-year-old daughter, unemployed, $250,000 in debt, dating a 21 year-old sex worker and living in the basement of my father's condominium.
