Back to Basics
Sometimes your bag ain’t big enough to hold all the things you need. The sad reality, sometimes your head isn’t big enough either.

The Slushy Sweet Spot Remix
Still comfortable with, “Done it before will do it again.” Got existence emergence ad infinitum in my sights. Gonna be life cytoplasm as a career objective.

My Secret Vegetarian Darkside That I Can’t Give Up
Warning: A gif image in this story may affect photosensitive readers. *** It all started with my son delivering a zucchini from my next-door neighbor that around these parts they call a courgette (and here is where I’ll hit the pause button.)

And Untraceable Havens Are Better
I throw out a polite “Sometimes.” Sometimes… off-grid residences are best are lifelines hidden from view

When You Finally Realize You’ve Been Buying Gluten-free Bread Wrong for Years
It’s one of those life-altering moments but also slightly embarrassing. As in, why did it take me so long, add bare-faced owning up to the fact that I’ve been almost religiously eating non-flavored, egg white containing (as a borderline vegan), cardboardesque sandwiches, and paying extra for the privilege.

I love me when I am laughing. Unhinged from every worrisome thought. Uncontrolled giggles seeping in spaces soaking soul

When feelings are tangled conglomerates unintelligible responses vocalize when asked simple questions. Got a wealth of blank stares.

This Is NOT An Itemized List of Annoying Bad Driver Habits
I am aware this may sound like a rant but a rant, it is not. This is a short personal sort of listicle, similar to someone else’s listicle somewhere around the world who knows what it’s like to be on the road with drivers who most likely have a license, but don’t have the relevant driving courtesies and draw silent seething from others behind opposite steering wheels.

Materials That Matter Most
Matter alters the immaterial. Spaces occupied by unmet needs rendered obsolete and excruciating to look at. Neglected desires are loud.

When the Beat Gets Beaten
No one wants to hear this song. Discarded sheet music trial by neglect perpetrated oblivion where flattened bruised and dying notes

The Long Forever Way Home
Auwruun Loneliness, desolation, and fear have a scent and Auwruun’s tiny body had soaked deep in it. The men who came and touched him all over called “Bintang” (Star) at each encounter. His name was Auwruun from the time his mother uttered it. He tried to tell them that, but they never listened.
