I was by the refrigerator pouring water into a jug and suddenly I felt tears sliding down my cheeks. I don’t know why I started crying and at the same time all the reasons in the world. My father walked in and saw me crying. He asked what was wrong. I had no idea how…
When My Best Friend Asked If I Was Going to Apologize First…
The answer is no. I will not apologize first. I didn’t do anything completely wrong in particular but I will say, it took years of what is essentially betrayal and times I had to pick up my own pieces and put myself back together. It’s been years, and I mean years, that I have been…
Why I Ride Solo
It was New Year’s Eve 2017 and the party I was supposed to go to fell through. It seemed as if it were too late to ask anyone if I could crash their plans. Trust me, if you know me, then you know I have no problem inviting myself to whatever is going on. I…
