I Thought
A poem about moving on and finding comfort in a friend.
“I thought he was the love of my life.”
“I’m sorry that he wasn’t the one.”
“I thought I was going to be his wife.”
“There’s only so much you could’ve done.”
“I thought my single years were finally over.”
“Not everyone gets it right on the first try.”
“I thought that I wouldn’t die a loner.”
“I’m sure you’ll find love before you die.”
“I thought I’d have a life by the time I’m 30.”
“You can have a life without being married.”
“I thought the loneliness would no longer hurt me.”
“I won’t let it hurt you as long as you’re with me.”

HARVEST OF APPRECIATION.
In the golden fields of memory, where the sun sets with a gentle embrace, I gather the harvest of appreciation. Each grain, a moment of grace sown in the soil of time, nurtured by the rains of experience, bathed in the warmth of connection.

2023 The Year of Women and Fridging
2023 was an incredible year for women in film. Between Beyonce and Taylor’s concert movies, Barbie and 1 single woman getting nominated for best director at the Oscars there was a lot to celebrate. But just like with anything the universe seeks balance and in 2023 we nerds also experienced something on page and screen that we should have evolved out of decades ago. In the year of Barbie we had not 1, but 2 incidents of fridging in the comic book universe. Both came from Marvel and both are inexcusable. I would love to celebrate how far representation in this field has come, really I would. But I can not do that if we are still making the same mistakes. I am not going to celebrate that there is now less sexual assault in comics. I am not going to celebrate that fridging is less common. I am not going to celebrate that women are infantilized less often in comics. I will not celebrate less. Not in 2024 when every grown person on the planet should know better. I will not be celebrating less. I will celebrate when women are ALWAYS treated like human beings, fictional or not.
