Eardays wet In Public
Is it normal to have lubricated ears? I'm really asking because for one, I am inclined to purchase a different type of headphones than any one I currently know. We can't share! Does anyone else remember when headphones came with strings to save itself from falling out and getting lost? Who took that off the tables of options? I have about 5 pairs of mismatched headphones, so inadvertently I am a known champion of the phrase "huh?"

Hawk Out
The pizza guy knocked and said “you’ve got a hawk out here.” “A what?” This was supposed to be a contactless delivery. He sounded serious. I leaned out of my apartment to check. Sure enough, something flew back and forth over our heads. I live at the top of a three story walk up with tall windows on both sides. Poor thing bonked itself against the glass several times. I’ve seen birds and insects get confused before, but never one this large and this confused.

My Addict, His Beast & Me
"Breathe, girl, breathe. He's gone", I say in a whisper echoing through a cloud of disbelief. Staring into the bathroom mirror with my swollen, tear-filled eyes and seemingly permanent frown, I verbalize for the hundredth time, "Face it, he's left again. My addict and the beast have vanished and taken everything: the money, the car, and my misguided trust."

I am a pretty intelligent person. Or so I like to think. I have always prided myself on the fact that I was a nice, well-behaved, and normal guy. I never got in any big trouble in school, never got drunk or high, or killed anyone.

Eczema VS Tina
Learning to love me on the outside You wake up covered in blood, open wounds all over your body. Pain, irritation, and an itchable itch. Your blankets stick to your wounds because of the blood creating a glue-like bond, it hurts to leave it and it hurts to tear it off, risking reopening the wound. You look down at your hands and see them covered in blood, skin in your nails, and clumps of blood underneath. What happened you ask? Your unconscious self decided to rip your skin open. This is how I used to wake up when I was younger, all the time. you can’t even begin to understand what it’s like till you live through that scene at least once a week.
