10 Best Advice for 20-Year-Old Boys
When I turned 30, I found myself sitting alone in a coffee shop, watching a young guy across the room nervously tap his fingers on a resume folder. He looked about 20—sharp haircut, awkward confidence, trying hard to look grown-up in a world that still felt too big.

The Closet Door. Content Warning.
When I was little, I used to cry myself to sleep. My mom said it was just a phase, that I was too sensitive, and that the other kids would grow out of their meanness. But their words stuck to me like gum under a school desk—chewed up and forgotten, but still there.

Where the Night Forgot Her Name
She never intended to leave. Not really. Mara had folded the laundry, fed the cat, and even left the porch light on.

Do You Carry Fire or Smoke?
“People carry more than what’s in their hands. Some carry fire, others only smoke.” — Marla Wynn When I was about twelve, a woman in my neighborhood used to sit on her veranda every morning with a cracked mug of tea and a transistor radio that wheezed out gospel songs or political debates depending on the day. Her name was Miss Callie, and she wore the same blue robe most mornings, even when the heat blistered the air. She wasn’t poor, nor rich, but she always had peace — and in our neighborhood, that was more valuable than gold.

The Blue Door
It was a time when the world seemed much bigger, and yet everything I truly needed was contained within a single neighborhood block. I was ten years old, and my universe revolved around a cracked sidewalk, the buzz of cicadas, and the whispers of wind through sycamore trees.
