Good Ol’ Quality Time
Birthday presents were never my thing, to me the concept was all materialistic and no meaning. If anything, I preferred sentimental gifts; quality time was always better than stuff. But when my buddy texted me saying that something was arriving at my apartment later, I groaned.

Rumination
Greyscale paints my view with as much enthusiasm as the death that grips my mind. The cars continue to release a deep gray fog that blends into the toxicity already present. The bench beneath my existence thaws and dampens but is a feeling I add to the list of those I bury deep. I try not to feel it.

You Can't Run Forever
Every morning I’d cross my room like a thief in the night. The curtain remained closed, and the lights were turned off. I liked to believe that my avoidance had helped me develop spidey senses or night-vision skills of some sort. But in reality, my pinky toe usually paid the price for my stubbornness. To be fair, I didn’t think that my self-avoidance was so much stubbornness as it was a twisted sense of self-care.

A Queer Rebirth Has Come to VocalTop Story - January 2024
The past few months have really been about rebirth for me. There have been many firsts which hasn’t been easy, and it has been more than I would have expected for someone in their late twenties. But along with these first, I’ve been rediscovering and reclaiming my identity. And along with that, I’ve also been given opportunities to advocate and empower others. From my job as a teacher, to my own inner child work, there have been so many grateful opportunities for queer voices and stories to emerge.

Yeah, Okay, I'll Play
Oh Vocal, Vocal, Vocal- you want me to set goals? And stick to them? My wife will laugh. It's not that I can't commit, or plan meticulously, or overthink about the near and far future (my strong suit). I can do all that without even blinking. If anything, I've probably achieved a majority of my goals in my life thus far and I'm pretty damn proud of myself.

Splintered HopeTop Story - January 2024
“You’re hopeless! Nothing anyone does is good enough for you. Don’t you see how you’re destroying this family?” Glass flew by my head and in the moment between shatter, I could almost see through to a better outcome. But gravity didn’t leave me enough time to consider hope before glass made contact with the wall in an explosive production.
