A corner for goblins and men
One of the first conversations me and my partner ever had was over text on their way to help move my sister's family in to the house we now all share. My partner was my sister's friend and we had met twice before this text exchange, but we did not know each other very well and had not interacted overmuch on those two meetings. We had started talking because I had reached the house first and we were simply coordinating plans for the day, and over the course of this conversation they asked me if the new house had any good "Goblin hiding spots." My partner often refers to themself as a goblin and tucking themself into small, secluded corners to get a few minutes of alone time gives them a feeling of safety and control over their surroundings. Not one to disappoint or give up the chance to be a bit of a showman, I began filming and sending a series of short video tours of potential hiding spots for one of such tendencies throughout the house. This whistlestop tour included tucked away corners of rooms, the downstairs half bathroom, and most importantly the sizeable walk in closet attached to what would be my new bedroom.

Three Inch Welcome Matt
There is a place that makes me feel happy, comfortable, at home, and loved. That place is roughly three square inches wide- the back edge of a trailer vanity top. There isn’t anything special about those square inches. It’s just a basic, plastic white top where I’ve placed two bottles of face wash and lotion. What makes me love those inches of space so much is who gave them to me. Let me tell you the story of how I found my second home and my wonderful boyfriend, Ryley.

First Real Love How Do You Know?
When I was seventeen years old I thought the guy I would marry ,the future father of my kids was already in my life. Is it not funny when you are seventeen you think you got it all figured out? When you are twenty -five or thirty you realize you were just a kid and had no clue at all about real love. I thought I was with whom at that time was to be considered my first love , and in a sense he was . I did truly care about him, but he really was not my real love . The feelings may have been true, but it was not true love. It was not the kind of love that burns deep in your soul.

When did it all change?
As so many people out there I found myself sitting in my chair in the corner, looking at my man in the bed, sleeping and thinking “what happened ?” In the start everything seems so perfect. We laugh, make dinner together, go for walks, experience new things together, make a lot of love. The typical in love period but then some months later everything changes. Why is that? Why can’t it continue as it was? Why do it have to change?

Broken
His name was William, and our relationship started as a friendship, kind of. We met in training; both newly enlisted into the US Army. No, we did not start dating in training, we were never one of those “battle boos” you hear about. There was some flirting here and there, but honestly he wasn’t quite my type. I liked taller guys, much taller. I didn’t actually notice him right away, but when I did, I thought he was cute. He had this skin tag on his bottom eyelid, and I decided to use it as an excuse to talk to him. So, one day as were standing in formation, I turned to him and said:

Being (Em)Pathetic
Note: When I decided to give Vocal a try, I pondered how I would set myself apart from all of the other extremely talented people here. I came up with the idea to include a personalized song that related to each article that I post. It may be an original, it may be me singing a cover tune, it may be me singing with a guitar...or an ukulele...or a piano. We'll see how it goes.
