I published this post privately on December 1, 2018. It was a vulnerability I wasn't ready to share but in light of recent events and new revelations I'm ready to share. I hope this helps someone.

I used to live in the dark.

Are you going through a breakup?

I used to think sex was the only way to intimacy.

This is the time of year when everyone is happy and joyous.

I have a really hard time accepting help.

What if deliverance was calling your name?

A couple of months ago my coworker and I were meeting at a school for a writer's workshop training.

Yesterday I had conversations with two different people about what it's like to be single during the holidays.

I used to be so insecure.

For the last several months I've felt like butterflies have been following me.

For a long time I was bothered when close friends got married.

On a perfectly relaxing evening right before I was about to go out, it started raining.

Dating while celibate is hard.

In books I've read in the past and especially in the one I'm reading now, I've realized your mate is your purpose partner.

I ran my first 5K one month ago.

I'm the only one who sleeps in my bed.

I don't call my father "dad." 

Last year I went to the optometrist.

Last week I was having a conversation with a woman at my job.
