A Letter to the Man She Left Behind To the Man I Used to Be
I’m writing to you from the ruins of the world you built. I’m sitting in the silence you were so afraid of, and I finally understand. The echo of her last words has faded, but the truth behind them is now branded onto my soul: “I love you, but I’m not in love with you anymore.”

Why I'm Not Worried About AI. Top Story - June 2025.
Entering our third year of a post-AI world seems to have done little to dampen the hype around it. Buzzword or not, it’s hard to ignore the vigour in which tech is determined to crown itself the new feudal lord, constantly banging the marching drum of progress to the beat of enforced adoption. As a creative, I’m just as aware of the encroachment of AI, threatening the livelihood of artists, musicians, and writers.

The Art of Being Real in a Fake World
We navigate life hoping someone, somewhere, will hand us a rulebook—a clear guide to happiness, success, and meaningful relationships. But that book never comes. Instead, we stumble, we learn, and we collect little scraps of wisdom from conversations, late-night thoughts, and sometimes, from the sting of regret.

The End
In the final week, the skies over America turned an odd shade of silver. It wasn’t like a thunderstorm or a dust cloud from the Midwest. It wasn’t smoke or pollution or some unexplained weather pattern. It shimmered, like the sky had cracked open and the light from somewhere else was bleeding through.

To Be A Writer Is To Be Alive. Honorable Mention in I Wrote This Challenge.
"How many species can you see?" My partner and I were standing outside of my townhouse building in the grass. The sky was a light blue with a cool temperature to match. The wind made the wall of foliage in front of our eyes sway, and the flowering tree above our heads to rain full moons onto the ground.

The painting speaks
Would you want to read a book that had this painting as its cover? Neither would I. So it's just as well that the publishers put a photo of Mark Rylance on the cover instead. No more pretty than the Cromwell he played in the TV series, Wolf Hall, but he at least looks more human. Earlier versions of the book the series is based on had a graphic depiction of the Tudor rose for a cover... BORIIIING!!! Covers aside, I am pretty certain that when author Hilary Mantel (1952-2022) researched the book, she spent some time in the National Portrait Gallery in London, looking at this painting and thinking about the man behind the turn-to-stone look. Particularly when it comes to the part of the book where the painting by Hans Holbein is delivered to Cromwell's family home.

"The Blushing Tomato Dance"
Why did the tomato turn red at the vegetable dance? Because it saw the salad dressing. !Lesson: Don't be afraid to blush or stand out when you're in an exciting situation—sometimes it just means you're ripe for the moment! Embrace your uniqueness, even if it feels a little embarrassing at first.
