Side Door
Do you remember the night we met? We barely said a word, just danced. You asked for my name and I told you. I asked for yours, you replied, but the music drowned it out. Later you'd tell me how every time you looked at me I'd blush. Your fingertips pressed into my skin, your kiss was addictive. My heart was racing, no one had ever touched me like that, wanted me like that. I liked it.

'Arcana' for the SNES
Arcana was one of the SNES games I found at the flea market. Back when I was a kid, my mom used to take me to a local flea market once or twice a month, and there were always tables with video games for sale. Even though Arcana wasn’t an old game at the time, it was released in 1992, it wasn’t one that stores carried much, and I don’t recall seeing it for rent at Blockbuster either, although I’m sure some stores carried it.

Car Sex: The Where's and How's
If you and your partner have gotten a little bored in the bedroom, but don't really want to break out the fuzzy handcuffs and paddle, I have a solution for you! Car sex. I know what you're thinking: I am a grown man/woman. I have a perfectly good bedroom, with a door that locks, and plenty of space to move around. Why would I try to get it on in the back seat of my cramped car? I say don't knock it until you try it. Plenty of couples get bored of sex because they sort of fall into a routine with it. Lock the door, get naked, bang one out using the same three positions you like, then go to bed. If that is how you guys want to have a relationship, I think that's great, and honestly, if you have kids as well as a demanding job, sometimes a routine is all you can manage. But if I've said it before I'll say it a million times: try new things with your partner! Doing it in the car can be fun and I guarantee you will feel young again!

Email From Hell
I moved to Chicago in January 2017 after having already been unemployed for a little over four months. I quit my old job in New York City in August 2016 while I planned to move back to the Midwest. I lived with different family members while I job hunted—a process that took a lot longer than I thought it would. Needless to say, those four months were really tough.

Feminism Stickers
I wanted to make this collection to highlight the importance in feminine things like flowers and hearts being a symbol for strength instead of them being a symbol for weakness. Everyday at my work, people get mad me for putting straws and umbrellas in their drink because they are too feminine. I just want to make something very clear: you don't have to masculine to be strong. In this article, I also made sure to include intersectional feminism. After all, if your feminism isn't intersection, who is it really for?
