The Family Portrait
I have a thing against confident men. Don’t get me wrong—I do not hate them. I am just amazed by their sheer arrogance. To look life in the face and turn it to stone, Medusa-like. To smile at a camera and not be fazed by the lights flashing millisecond by millisecond. To wear jewelry and not fear that it will slip from sweat on their wrists, their necks, or their fingers.

Stop Being Nice
I have always heard people say that you can’t really trust anyone. That people will let you down no matter what. They will take advantage of you when you are at your lowest. Well, I was at my lowest recently. In fact, I’m still going through that.

This entire time, they have been supportive, kind, helpful… and nice.

The Baby No One Saw
The night was quiet, the kind of quiet that presses gently against the walls and settles into every corner of a house.
