The Great Truth of Big Little Lies
I think Ludacris said it best when he gave us the genius line of lyrics, “When I was thirteen, I had my first love”. For me at least, that first love was then ABC’s smash hit television series “Pretty Little Liars”. I think it’s a rite of passage in the upbringing of any queer boy to become engrossed in a poorly written drama in which you are definitely NOT the target demographic, and I definitely played this part well. Part of me was really infatuated by the mystery of the lives of Ally, Aria, Emily, Hannah, Mona, and Spencer, but I’m pretty sure I ultimately just wanted to be able to tell my mom that I too enjoyed soap operas and red wine past my bedtime. I was thirteen.

Take Your Hands Off of Me
Take Your Hands Off of Me by Jackson Houska It was painful in the most exhilarating way. With every breath of ink, the words of your fortune tattooed my pages. In the moment there was a feeling of ignorance, what purpose could there possibly be for me to fulfill? I suppose I do understand. I recognize that you like all people have an insatiable desire to experience more than you can and become more than you are. You want to travel the world, maybe ride a motorcycle down the Autobahn, find security in the embrace of a partner, and live without limits. This is beyond my comprehension, however, as I am merely a book: approximately three inches in length and three inches in width. The world in my perception is the desk Brian built you before he left, my only friend the pen used to sign the divorce papers. Even in the monotony of this existence, however, you still fail to grasp my influence. Likely, you told your parents that you simply bought a winning lottery ticket, a random stroke of luck in the piss stain that has been the past year, but that is a lie. What is objective to the both of us is that two days ago the words “twenty-thousand dollars” appeared on the first of my pages and when you woke up yesterday morning you could suddenly afford the rent.
