A letter to my ex
Dear you, I know it was my decision but I still think about you. It’s like you’ve embedded yourself in every particle that can possible be in my life. And it mostly doesn’t hurt but sometimes it gets too much, I just want a memory, a moment, a place, that hasn’t been touched by you.

A Sibling Bond
My dog has always treated me like a sister. Not his mom, not his “master”, not even his friend, but simply sister. I fall and he walks past unbothered just like my brother would’ve done. He knows he can break the rules with me because I won’t tell, only siblings are like that. No snitching.

How to know the person you’re with is the one
After five years of dating my now ex, I felt a huge weight lifted. It wasn’t because he was horrible or anything like that, I simply felt that if I didn’t break-up with him at that moment, I would never have the guts again and my future would be set in stone. Like forever…I wasn’t ready for that or to be honest I didn’t want that particular future. Maybe forever is an exaggeration, but long term relationships are difficult because you start making big life decisions based on the life you have together, even if it’s not on purpose. The longer it goes on, the more intertwined in each-other's lives you get. So, before life got away from me, I pulled the break-up band-aid off and I was free.

THE DEVIL’S BREATH
“You’re grandma gave everything away. Her mother’s jewelry is all gone. Everything in her safe is gone. She’s gone crazy, how could she give it all away so easily?” my mother said as she entered my room. That’s how I woke up on a Saturday morning, way too early for my brain to process what was happening. “What do you mean she gave it all away? To who?When?” I asked. It made no sense. Why would my grandma who has nothing but her mother's jewellery give it all away...nothing sounded right.

I’M CANCER, RIGHT?
I was born on the longest day of the year, June 21 1999 at exactly one forty in the afternoon, after a mild earthquake shook the ground. Were those The Zodiac Gods battling over whose team I would be on? Well bad news Gemini God, I am all Cancer.

BLUE, THIS ONE’S FOR YOU
June 13 May 17, 2021 My therapist told me I should start writing my thoughts down in a little black book, that was a month ago. She gave it to me for free, at least. I already know these entries are going to make me sound like a drama queen and probably won’t even help me deal with the real problem. I would never write down the truth. Facing the truth wouldn’t help me. Even if she says so. Yes, I know I am contradicting myself by paying ninety fucking dollars to stare at each other while she waits for me to pour myself open. Ninety dollars to stare blankly at the wall, ninety dollars to hear the clock ticking by, ninety fucking dollars of pretending I will make progress. Knowing I never will. Nothing will change. There is no going back or forward. I am stuck in the present...I don’t want to write anymore.
