It is January 2022 and here I am, just a few months shy of my mastering consistency year anniversary. Lately, I have been writing ever-so-often, yet it seems that I ‘thought dump’ close to once a year. This time around, I trying to be different. I write often, yet I don’t share. I pay to take …
I’m afraid. I've finally been able to profess this out loud. More afraid of a number of things than I ever thought I was in life. Like, I am afraid of things that breathe that aren’t human (of course I know that Bambi will not kill me, but why are deer so massive in size?) …

I’ve purchased beautifully shaded notebooks only to watch them collect dust as they sat inside of Barnes & Noble bags with the receipts as book marks. I haven’t created …

“See I Know We Not Official (No), But Us Being Official Ain’t Never Been An Issue (No), It Came Down To Us, Boy Remember We Were Different, We Said That We’d Talk, If We Ever Had Problems About Anything, I Was Cool With No Commitment (Wait), Let Me Take That Back, It Was You, So …
