Teach how to swim. If you've never been in the water before or have no experience at all, this video will take you from being a complete beginner to someone who can feel safe and comfortable in the water. When you first start learning how to swim, it's best to have someone nearby who can watch you, especially when you start getting into the deep end of the pool. It's also easier and more comfortable to learn in a calm lake or pool than it is in the ocean with waves. Additionally, wearing a mask makes it more comfortable.

My New Book is Finally Here
My poetry collection Beautiful and Brutal Things is done. It's actually done and finally published over 270 pages. Over a year of my life went into this book. More than a year, really. Long days at my computer, sometimes seven days a week because I couldn't stop even when I probably should have. Then two months of editing that felt harder than the writing itself. But it's finished, and I'm still standing, and the book is real.

When the Past
The past has a reputation for staying where it belongs—behind us. We’re told that time heals, that moving forward is a matter of willpower, and that growth requires letting go. Yet for many people, the past does not remain neatly contained. It resurfaces in reactions we don’t fully understand, patterns we repeat despite better intentions, and emotions that feel disproportionate to the moment at hand. This is what it means when the past still bleeds into the present.
