Grains of sand beneath our feet. An image that reenacts itself on repeat.
Haunting thoughts in my slumbering sheets, as we stare upon the chalky sky frothing over an
Oily canvas between blood orange beams rippling off the calm side of the
Sea.
The moment where I always wake up to the phantom of you and me.

So with that, I’ll be posting insights for exclusive readers only, such as a workshop on my craft. The hows and who’s of my stories. Pretty much revealing my secrets on how I write with you. So welcome fam, and let’s get started!

Day 4 of Quitting
If this is how sobriety feels, maybe it’s better to go through life a little buzzed… this, along with other hits like, I want to kill myself, I wish I was dead, and I’m going to throw myself off a bridge have been the only thoughts on rotation these past few days. I promise myself that if, in a month, I still feel like this (‘this’ meaning despondent, full of rage, and simultaneously numb) I can go back to smoking. Until mid-February though? Nicotine is off the table.
