Lifelong writer, primarily for running blogs and websites. Finally dipping my toes into memoir and autobiographical fiction with a specific focus on the relationship between memory, the trauma brain, and being one's own unreliable narrator.

Nostalgia is a Three-Bean Salad
“That’s crazy!” I said, wrestling our dull can opener into a can of green beans. I stood next to my mother at the long laminate countertop that peeled up at the edges, a green plastic bowl between us. She stared down as she carefully diced an onion, not meeting my gaze. I had just finished telling her we would never fight, a reassurance following her argument with my little brother, but she had responded that we would. Maybe not until I was older, she said, but she could promise we would. At nine years old, I was aghast.
