Learning to Listen
In 1998 I had the opportunity to visit The King Center in Atlanta, Georgia with a friend and his mother. This friend had two special qualities. First of all, he was on the autism spectrum and second, he was fascinated with history. As we walked through the streets from the train station, he rewarded me with a continuous monologue of everything we were seeing from a historical perspective, including who all of the streets were named after and the roles these people played in Martin Luther King Jr.’s life. I was happy to listen in silence. It was a gift I will never forget.

What Americans Still Agree On
Months back, I vowed to stop writing about politics But that doesn’t mean I won’t write about democracy, or about what it means to be an American in these critical days. Especially having just passed the first anniversary of January 6, 2021 — a day that I believe ranks with 9/11 in terms of existential threat to the nation — the state of our Union is a topic that is with me, waking and sleeping. I find myself ricocheting, feeling hopeful and resolved one moment, frightened yet resigned the next. I know I’m not alone in this.

"Alone" doesn't always mean "lonely"
Recently I saw a TikTok of a girl crying on a train while looking at an elderly man who was sitting alone, adjacent to her. (I'm not going to post it here because it was from a smaller creator, and I don't want to indirectly send hate their way.) The caption was praising this girl (the poster's sister) for having such a huge heart for feeling compassion for an old man. Other comments were praising her for being an empath and understanding his "pain" so much.

All I Want For Christmas Is To Be Left Alone
Dear Santa, I know it has been a while since you have seen my name on your nice list. I truly have worked hard this year to not say anything if I couldn't say something nice and to treat others as I would want to be treated. Even though, I know this means I should expect a visit from you this Christmas Eve, I wanted to write to ask to please just fly past my house this year.

Narcissism Vs Narcissist
I had never known the true meaning of what it meant to be narcissistic till I lived through being with one and then went through therapy. I have learned by portraying selfish behavior that there is a difference between the two. The term narcissist can be thrown around so much. I find it used out of context as much as the word love, and when I say that, I don't mean just by slander but by it being put in terms of a person who doesn't even know themselves what it is.

I Used To Break Every Mirror
There's an old saying, "breaking a mirror brings seven years of bad luck," and though I never remembered physically breaking one, I grew up looking into any mirror and saw cracked pieces. My reflection was always a topic of conversation with myself because I felt like I didn't belong to the body that stood in front of me. I developed poor self-esteem and made careless life choices that hindered growth throughout my twenties. However, something changed in me when I turned twenty-five; I threw caution to the wind and sold my car, moved to California, followed a small path to expand my passion for writing, moved back home to South Carolina, then moved to Michigan, and stumbled into finding the beginning of a mirror I couldn't break.
