Therapy

  • Triggers

    I told myself I would never lie to you (other than about my name). So I’m not going to start now. I drove to Nashville on 5/28 in anticipation of going to see Reba play after the Music City Rodeo. Y’all know how much she means to me. I was desperately trying to chase after

  • New Collection

    I’m writing this the night before my book is released. It’s late, and I should be in bed. But I just can’t sleep to shut my brain off to allow myself to drift off to sleep. So instead, I’m up, on my people eating couch (it’s super comfy, I love this couch) watching Bones for

  • I’m Writing a Book

    I’ve been through A LOT this last year. I mean, some days my therapist wonders how I have managed to keep going this long. But I am here. There are many pieces that I haven’t shared with you, though not many. There are pieces that I didn’t really plan on releasing, but I think I’m

  • Why Not Me?

    I would like to take a moment to pause the regularly scheduled poetry publication to reflect on something that I’ve been thinking about for a while now. While this place is mostly a place for me to publish my poetry, I will occasionally add in more of a blog post from time to time. Today,
