Secrets
Dear Friend. Top Story - August 2026.
Dear Friend, I know that I can be testing sometimes, and I know I get too stressed out at times. Like you, I have my problems; after all, I am only human. However, I thought you understood, and my questions were only to protect my heart, dignity, and soul. Sometimes, we have to ask those uncomfortable questions, even if they cause awkward moments.

I Am The Laziest Vocal Creator. Content Warning.
Introduction Every piece I write that is less than six hundred words makes me feel that I am the laziest of all Vocal Creators. The music is "Lazyitis" by The Happy Mondays. Appropriate? I think so.

Our Time
Introduction I had an issue with PayPal recently, they decided it would take ten days to credit my PayPal account despite the money leaving my bank account after a few days. While I was slightly annoyed, I knew there was nothing wrong, and after a couple of emails, I decided to just wait and not waste my time.

Surreality
I was looking through a drawer earlier today. What exactly I was looking for doesn't matter, however, as much as what I found: pictures. Photos taken when I was little, from a family vacation we took to the Alabama Gulf Coast. I recognized my own face in the images, and my sisters. Surprisingly, my cousins were there, too, along with my favorite aunt. The longer I stared at those pictures, however, the more unsettled I became.

How Horse Riding Taught Me Masturbation
It was just a regular afternoon ride with this bay gelding named Ranger. Nothing special about the day. Warm, dusty, the usual trail through the oaks behind the barn. My instructor had already sent me off for a cool-down alone. So it was just me and him, walking then trotting then settling into this easy canter.

A Certain Kind of Person
When I was twenty-two years old, I ran away with the circus. I like to say "ran away" – because, really, how many people get to say that, and because it sounds reckless and adventurous – but honestly, I applied, interviewed, and was hired in the usual way.

He Made One Fucked-Up Choice and Lived with It for Years
My friend Daniel told me something a few years ago that changed the way I looked at him. We had known each other for more than a decade, and I thought I understood the type of man he was. He was dependable, successful, and the person people called when they needed help. He was the guy who showed up, kept his word, and seemed to have his life under control.
