Do You Still Love Me?

It's difficult to find someone who loves you unconditionally, even if you're at your best. Best friends don't come along every day. Personality, compatibility, and timing sometimes seem to be mixed in some perfect form…
Unmerited

Do you think maybe the picture of the triangles in my previous post scares people away? Maybe. Maybe. I still like them. Gratuitous faceball picture. Because life can be a pain sometimes. I was thinking this m…
The Curious Case of Being in Love

Ever been in love? No, this isn't about any recent affairs of my heart. Not with a particular man-person, anyway. (ahem, or woman, for that matter.) I woke up one morning to a phone call. Granted, I typically wake u…

Ode

This is something I scribbled on the back of a receipt while I was waiting for my friend at Applebee's. I thought I'd share it so at the very least, I can remember it. <edit> this poem has a title, which tends to…
Never, Never

It's never a never. I've had a chance to come up for breath a little, which gives me some time to be more reflective as a teacher... it's amazing what lessons you can learn from your own job. I believe myself to be a…
