Untie yourself. Get rid of the knots. Forgive your father. Forgive your mother. Forgive your brothers. Forgive your sisters. Forgive your children. Forgive your lover. Forgive your teachers. Forgive your heroes. Forgive a late ride. Forgive cold food. Forgive working late. Forgive being 5 cents short. Forgive those who have wronged you. Forgive those who will wrong you. The last knot is always...
Revenge is not sweet. Justice is.
“No matter how hot she is, there is some guy out there who is sick of her shit”
I promise this is the last time.
I never met you but I knew all your secrets. You’d spill them late at night across the wires, across the earth, from your hood to mine. I don’t know what you sounded like but I knew what you’d say. And I didn’t even know what you looked like. But I knew how you felt.
You blocked me out and turned away, hiding yourself from me. But I found you again. You weren’t...
I love you. Sometimes.
I’ll pretend that you mean the weather when you ask me how things are. I’ll say cold and dry.
The sky looks like it’s falling. But that’s only because you’re about to fly.

a time now so nostalgic
“Jess, you’re running away again.” Thats what you’d say. I never told you, and I never will, but I love you. Despite the compulsive lying, despite the cheating and stealing, despite the bitterness thats now choked your heart. I love you.
Nights forgotten by liquor, erased by pain, you can get someone out of your head, but getting them out of your heart is a different...

Letter to a friend
To my darling Katrina,
I know who you are. Not the you who changes masks for the world every hour of the day, depending on the audience – I know you behind that. Beyond the tiny voice in your head. Beyond the compromises you make. I accept you. I understand you. Look up now, just for a minute. Look around this table and remember these faces. We love you Kat. We all do.
One of the most important...
“What I hate the most is that when I’m in a room with you, I can’t act myself around my own best friend, because they are there. I can’t come over and sit next to you, have a yarn with you, because there’s this disgusting vibe. I know my own friends will be having a little bitch behind my back. Watching every move we make.”
Hard times show who really does...
You think that you’re fundamentally “you”. That even without three meals a day, the people around you and the things you’ve been exposed to, you would still be the same person with the same ideas, morals, values and attitude towards life. But you wouldn’t be. You would be “them”. The great “them” that seem so stupid and alien and far away in...
“Bring your sneers, your snide remarks and friendships never felt, your letters...”
“I have a surprise for you. Coming soon.”
“Holding on to anger is like grasping a hot coal with the intent of throwing it...”
Everything becomes a little different as soon as...
I was texting someone this afternoon, and all I really wanted to send was “I must really like you not to hate you”, because that’s exactly how I feel, and exactly how it is; but I didn’t, I sent some nonsense and then forgot about it. Yesterday I wanted to say “You’re amazing, I don’t know where I’d be without you”, but I wrote something half...
