Our first date
The anticipation of seeing you again after we first met was too real. I was super excited and so nervous all at the same time. I wasn’t sure what to expect. After the amazing night we spent chatting at the party, getting to know each other – laughing, sharing….it all still feels a little unreal…

Stainless steel shallow cutout in wall of McDonald’s restroom.
It was the same width of the changing table above it. I pushed on it with my foot to see if it opened like a flap to dispose of water from mopping or a leak but it didn’t budge. I was unable to ask a worker as there was a steady stream of people coming…
Politically Weary
“I remember,” said the old man sitting in the park as he rolled a cigarette from his fixings. “About 50 years ago, I suppose. Could’ve been a hundred, because time gets slippery after midnight—on a clock or in real life.” The reporter waited patiently, but wondered briefly, as the old man rolled his cigarette, lit…
A Turd in The Urinal: A Memoir
I’ve had diarrhea since the fifth grade. The year was 1998/99 when my parents’ long-failing marriage finally crumbled and the brooding anxiety I’d felt since the onset of my sentience really began to rob me of my childhood. Don’t worry, this essay isn’t a sob story about my parents’ divorce. This essay is about shitting…

The Gift of Knowledge: Blessing or Curse?
What is knowledge? Is it even possible to answer that question in one succinct thought or sentence? “Knowledge is power.” “Ignorance is bliss.” “Ignorance is not a defense.” “The only true wisdom is in knowing you know nothing.” By this small selection of quotes it would appear that knowledge would lean more toward the side…

Doomed for Eternity on Four Grounds (Or Maybe Five)
To my horror, I felt the air from outside brushing against my unclothed skin, and guessed that we had left the window open. I wanted then to wrap my winter jacket around my body again, but since me and Debora were standing all alone in a room bearing a deathly blue hue – perhaps it…

Hands-on business instead of saas
I’m a software engineer who’s spent years chasing the startup dream – SaaS ideas, side projects, hunting for product-market fit. Nothing stuck. I’m seriously considering a pivot into drone photography and videography services. Real estate, commercial clients, that kind of thing. Something where the value is obvious and customers pay without a 6-month sales cycle.…

Law I
As imperfect as law is, it remains effective at mitigating harm. There will never be a time when no one is hurt. The duty of healthcare professionals, law enforcement, and government workers is to help guide those within the system. And freedom without constraints is not freedom. It is fantasy. “Escaping” the system is ultimately…
I’m a creative person, I like writing when I get in the flow, but I can’t accept writing in drafts; every scene must be perfect before I move on- whether it be a scene I just worked on, or a scene from ancient history.
I like being creative- it’s fun. Sometimes, it’s also fun to write things. Then, writing things about what I create in my head- it’s even more fun! It isn’t fun rewriting 10 pages over and over again when there’s no payoff. I’ve looked up this kind of feeling- writing confidence. I can write anything for…

30 hours I picked it up at my local Kroger which is weird because l’d actually gone in there to get some batteries. The cashier looked at me strangely like she’d seen me before, maybe in a dream or a courtroom. I’m fairly sure the onion got scanned twice but only charged once which feels…

When Silence Feels Safer

The heat was frying but unbearable under the umbrellas. It’s the truth of dying. Illusions of shade to comfort or disturb and disturb further the soul thinking of the sun beyond these curved shadows.

Hi everyone. For the last two years, I’ve worked as a copywriter, offering services such as writing emails, sales letters, scripts, and so on. With the rise of AI, I can’t keep selling these kinds of individual “assets” because now anyone can create them. Competing on price doesn’t make sense. I’m developing my new offer,…
