Role-play
We played to be different people, without ever touching—-we kissed, without ever holding one another, we fell into a deep shared breath, collapsing and carrying our weight into the ongoing part we each needed the other to be, and completed our first dream date through living someone else’s life.

My top three Most Influential male protagonists
I love these people, and they mean a lot to me in many different ways from different parts of my life. The fact that they are male is my main source of inspiration for the way I write, and these people and their stories is just another huge example of why I love to write in this perspective.

My three top influential female protagonists
As an accompaniment to my recent article here: I also wanted to share with you all my top three most influential female protagonists in literature.

Extra tracks to focus my feelings
These tracks mark my childhood and my teenage years, and kept me feeling grounded, at peace— because the sounds and the lyrics and the moods they represent all felt like me at one point, and my childhood specifically.

The Dance
It was in the way they didn’t move. It was in the way they could talk to one another in just a single look. It was something unspoken between them that said they can speak for each other—-and in a single gesture, a single movement, the other knew what they were conveying.

You didn’t call me back
I wondered why you didn’t call me back. I pictured over and over where your raven hair would lay down on my pillow and where the imprint of your body would down lay on my sheets, and how your dainty, pretty face would lay down next to mine——but you didn’t call me back.
