Dreams, thoughts, and experiences expressed through poetry and prose
Published February 21, 2018, this is an ode to space, to perspective, to intent. I can remember every moment from when I thought of and wrote this, where I was and what was looking at, my perspective, my hopes, my dreams, my emotions... all of it. I am not sure why this particular piece encapsulated … Continue reading Poetry Reading – “The Space I Occupy”
This piece, originally published February 20, 2018, was written and published the day after I met one of the most important and incredibly special people I have ever had the pleasure of knowing.

This is still a powerful piece for me. First published February 19, 2018, it really spoke to some of the insecurities and uncertainty I was feeling at the time, and often do still, as I think we all do from time to time.

I will not lie, I was not excited to revisit this piece 😅. Just the title is filled with a cringey sort of angst that does not leave me proud... But, as always, I was pleasantly surprised at how I was able to hear in it a bit of forward-thinking optimism and a desire to … Continue reading Poetry Reading – “‘The Cute Girl Left'”

Appropriate that today's archive reading be a piece on the passing of time, perspective, and voice. This piece was originally published back on February 17, 2018, when all of these things were so much different than they are today.
