Secrets
The Ramblings of an Old Man
We fell in love. That’s how it always begins, man and woman meet, their eyes facing toward heaven, and suddenly the entire world shifts beneath their feet, transporting them across seas and oceans to each other. Infidelity and fear no more because I am here, your prince from another life, your lover that you can always lean on, even if you die. Don’t forget me because moving on always turns your head behind your back, looking into my eyes. I stare into your soul and see your fears and hopes, all seeming to align with me. That single red line on a corkboard of ideas and pictures, snapshots of music, memories, and mystery, just a thread away from a discovery that could change everything.

Flower Child
Dear Mom, Happy Mother’s Day! Though I am all grown up, I will always be your sweet little girl. With a touch of sugar, sass, spice, and a dash of my favorite Schitt’s Creek character, Alexis Rose. I am the luckiest to have you as my mother, and forever grateful to you for being so understanding of my rebellious ways. I didn’t leave you with much choice to be anything but, as I decided a long time ago that you would be my very best friend, as well as my mother. Meaning, eventually, I must share everything with you that happens in my life. [Whether you like it or not, or want to hear it or not. And that you must love me for me, as that’s what mothers do best! Muahaha! (Evil laugh)]!

To My Mother
To My Mother and the Secrets You Never Knew. Dear Mom, Time passes like the wind. Sometimes it dances by as a gentle breeze while at other times it pounds us down as furious as the hurricanes, as unforgiving as the tornados. That was our love, through time. It started out gentle. Loving is the mother’s touch. It ends in rage, before being lifted into the light of forgiveness, fading away just as the winds do over the seas and the mountains.

Smile, Say Cheese. Runner-Up in Mother's Day Confessions Challenge. Top Story - May 2022.
Hey Mom! I never told you this before, but I did it. I ate all the cheese you specifically purchased to place on your charcuterie board. You know the one you special ordered straight from Italy? You waited months it seemed, just to try those seven different varieties of aged cheese, and I stole your moment of glory. I didn't intend to eat it all, I just wanted a little nibble of each, and why on earth would they send such small squares of cheese anyways? I mean honestly, if anyone is to blame, it simply must be them for sending such minute sample sizes. Those blocks of cheese, and I use the term "blocks" loosely, were the size of petit fours. I've seen much bigger squares of cheese placed on the ends of traps for house mice or rats. Now, don't get me wrong, I'm not making any excuses for my moment of mischief. However, in my defense, I now understand the famous lays motto " betcha can't eat just one". I know this confession is twenty years overdue, but better late than never right? I'm getting way ahead of myself though with this confession , let me start from the beginning.

I Know You Lied to Me
The beach, wind in your loose perm — Do you remember that day, remember it for the sake of the young ones who couldn’t? Sand, as gritty as the things we learned to love, sifting between your toes, running like the boy who was finally strong enough on his feet, unbound from the earth, free to roam. Do you remember the tide that taunted us? I wanted to crawl into the sea, but you held me instead while we built a castle out of salt and sand and pretended we were royalty.

My Significant other slept with my parent
I love storytelling. I love listening to stories. Tiktok provides a lot of Reddit stories I like to listen to whether scary or drama, real or not. I like stories. With this said there is a story about a man who discovered his wife cheated on him while his mother in law was in the house staying with them. He slept with the mother in law for 8 days and wanted to talk about how amazing she was in bed; but the wife doesn’t know since they are separate. The mother in law left and moved to another state and he plans on divorcing his wife but hinted to the story that he may be trying to visit or hit up the mother in law whenever; this insinuates he wants the ex-wife to know he slept with her mother. Obviously this is revenge cheating but I see a lot of problems with that, not because of the female and I am a female; but rather looking at the situation as a whole.

Not your story
Hi Mum, I know I never told you this before, but I love you. I really do! I know that I let you down and distanced myself from you and the family all those years ago; and I know that my absence hurt you a great deal, but it was never actually about 'you' at all. It never was.

Dear Mum
Dear Mum, I have a confession; you know that hole by my bedroom, the one I told you I put my hand through when I tripped? It was believable because of how weak leaky gutters had made some of the walls. It was only half true. I didn’t trip. I was angry, so angry that I punched through the wall. I can't recall what made me so angry, but I saw red for a moment. Boom! There was a hole in the wall, and I needed to develop a story to cover it. I remember no one was home, no witnesses, so there was only my word. And I’m sorry to admit my word was a lie. I had never been your angry child. I would like to say this was the first time my frustration took a physical turn, but it wasn’t.
