My love: it aches
“Such a simple question, such a complicated request — please, know me.”
Frustration and empathy are conflicting
Extending empathy to those who are struggling used to be something I defaulted to and something I championed to others.
Where the sidewalk ends…
The truth is, I only learned how beautiful it is to love other people and the world when I wasn’t so caught up in despising myself.
When formality goes out the door
I felt like I had just committed one of the worst faux pas in my life — and it was recorded to be stored on Panopto video forever.

Even Among Us, a game with absolutely no consequences, uses the popular vote.
“Routine” traffic stop

Dilapidated doting
I’m seeing things I hadn’t seen in years since I left the great state of Texas.
The strangest game of duck, duck, goose
