It was just a regular Thursday night, and the first time I’d ever told you that I needed you. I found myself ashamed that I couldn’t hold it together, crying to you over the phone. I remember you. As emotions ran high, when the shock and frustration kicked in, my first thought was to figureContinue reading “I Remember You”

A Letter From the Desert
Mr brothers and sisters in Christ, Where do you go when you’re not feeling like yourself? Like you’re operating on your bad habits because the regular servers in your head aren’t working, or even past that, when everything in you ceases to work. Do you run back to the Father with all your unfavourable emotionsContinue reading “A Letter From the Desert”
I Lied To Your Mum
I didn’t mean to lie to your mum. The words had come out without much thought going into them. I wanted the words to be true. And maybe for a time, they were. But not when they had left my mouth. As the words escaped, something in my head clicked. It was an immediate responseContinue reading “I Lied To Your Mum”
Soup Is a Labour of Love
I love soup. I love purées, creams, and bisques. But most of all, to me, nothing surpasses the humble soup broth. They’re light, rich in flavour, and deeply comforting. When done right, of course. There’s a certain satisfaction I find in a well-made, clear broth. And they’re most definitely a labour of love. Just lastContinue reading “Soup Is a Labour of Love”
Did I Ever Mean Anything to You
Yesterday, two people I love got married. She was a girl I met just after I finished high school, and he was someone I met during my first year of university. I met each of them in different places for different reasons, so it was odd to hear that they had connected many years later.Continue reading “Did I Ever Mean Anything to You”
To the Girl Who Thinks She’s Not Good Enough
To the girl who thinks she’s not good enough, I see you. You’ve been fighting on your own for so long. And I’m sorry the ones you thought would show up, didn’t. I’m sure it was disappointing to face the people who probably didn’t mean to hurt you. It’s okay to be angry at them.Continue reading “To the Girl Who Thinks She’s Not Good Enough”
Shared Name
I first met you in a karaoke room that was too big for our group, and under different circumstances. You sang Olivia Rodrigo’s drivers license, exuding this kind of passion and fullness; so much so that I wondered what you’ve had to go through to express that sense of nostalgia and heartbreak. At the time,Continue reading “Shared Name”
Peach Tourmaline
A few years ago, I fell in love. I’ve always prided myself in being a pragmatic person who enjoyed practical gifts over things like flowers (though, I still like being bought flowers). I fell in love with a special gem. It was 7.1mm in diameter and the gem shone like no other. You could evenContinue reading “Peach Tourmaline”
Lost
How do you grieve the loss of a loved one? I don’t think my heart is strong enough to sift through the pain. Memories flicker by in my mind’s eye like a camera reel showing the good, the bad, and the deafening silence. When thinking about you, all the hurt you’ve inflicted on me isContinue reading “Lost”
Your Place Is Here
My child, I know you’re hurting. I know it is your desire to please me, but know that I have given you this time to rest. You need not work for my love, as it is freely given to you. Trust in me and my promises that I have everything under control. I have notContinue reading “Your Place Is Here”
