The Girl Who Slept On A Newspaper
Anxious attachment is a thing we hear a lot about these days. Attachment theory is a buzzword bingo selection. Like narcissism and gaslighting. But the story of how I learned to chase avoidant men like a defective compass needle that only pointed toward storm systems is one in a million. And yet, the dynamic may be the most common model of all relationship issues today.

Between "Linger"ing and "Point Easy"
The night at Linger felt like a trick the universe pulled just for us. It was your birthday. A storm had just blown itself out over Denver, leaving behind a restless sky. The rain ended abruptly, and the city opened its windows in celebration—literally. At Linger, they pushed the glass walls wide, so the restaurant became half indoors, half outdoors, as if no one could decide where joy lived that night.

Epilogue
I feel like everything belongs to me and nothing belongs to me. I have all the control but I also take all the shifts. There is no resting. No reprieve. No overtime pay. No pay at all. No labor laws. Very little compassion. And, in my case, no strong arms to hold me in the middle of the night when it goes badly in my dreams. No one’s mind to help me solve the problem, and no single person who helped me generate this genetic code across this tiny little tribe.
