My Job Interview Turned Into a Confession Booth
I walked into the sleek office building that morning feeling a mix of nerves and excitement. This wasn’t just any job interview — this was the opportunity I’d been working toward for years. A better salary, a chance to move away from the dead-end roles I’d been stuck in, and a fresh start in a city I barely knew. I had prepared thoroughly: polished my resume, memorized answers to common questions, and rehearsed my introduction until it sounded natural.

I Hid My Best Friend’s Affair… Until It Ruined My Marriage
I never imagined that loyalty could come at such a devastating cost. For years, Claire and I were inseparable — best friends who shared everything, from late-night talks about our dreams to the kinds of secrets no one else knew. So when she told me about the affair, I was caught in a whirlwind of emotions — shock, confusion, and a crushing sense of betrayal. But most of all, I was trapped between two impossible choices: protect her secret or protect my own marriage.

One Secret Kept My Family Together—Until I Realized It Had Already Torn Us Apart
I used to believe my family was unbreakable. We weren’t perfect, but we had the kind of bond I thought could survive anything—inside jokes at the dinner table, movie nights where no one touched their phones, and an unspoken loyalty that made me proud to belong to them. But on a rainy night in late autumn, that belief was shattered.

The Lie That Kept My Family Together
The night it happened, it was raining so hard the gutters overflowed and the street looked like a river. I was 17, sitting on the living room couch with my knees pulled to my chest, pretending to read a book. In reality, I was straining to hear the shouting coming from the kitchen.

Father Figure I Never Expected
1. The First Punch I found Mac’s Gym because it smelled like my father. Liniment, sweat, and something bitter underneath—like old rage. I was fourteen, knuckles split from punching my bedroom wall after Dad’s latest "discipline session."

Chapter 21: Businesswoman. Content Warning.
My first explicit deal took place the night of my 26th birthday. I met my dealer at the time – I think his name was Carlos, I have no idea how I met him but it was probably through someone I partied with in Greenpoint, or maybe someone at work, and he ran a delivery service – at some bar in the city. I had no plans that night, no one had asked me to hang out – not even Brian – or even knew or cared that it was my birthday. I might have grieved over this fact it if I stopped and really thought about it, or cared about anything other than getting my shit. So I was convivial and flirtatious, and told him it was my birthday.

Chapter 13: Constellation of Pleasure. Content Warning.
I didn’t notice I had gotten big until that moment I awoke to a new body consciousness; but, once I did, it skyrocketed to the position of my single greatest problem, the biggest looming obstacle to my happiness. Paradoxically, on some level I perceived that the extra weight would render me unattractive, so that men – especially Father – would be deterred from commenting on my form. But eventually I came to realize: It didn’t work.
