I love my marriage more every day

Thanks for reading! Clearly I was going through it at the time haha

Forgotten poems from the vault. I wrote these the month I came out 7 years ago.

I’m at the point in my writing career where I’m not embarrassed by what I did 5 years ago. Took a long time to get here.

Latuda gang rise up 🗣️

Maybe I’m just old and forgetful (and gay) but I don’t remember other millennials thinking this way in the same capacity. Maybe I just didn’t hang out with shit heads though.

Yeah I’m definitely gonna take a job that won’t even send a real person to talk to me. It’s also Saturday.

My grandmother accused my texts today of being an AI scam in the family group chat

That’s a great suggestion, thank you!

Good morning

Where are some journals that love a long poem? I’ve got a Goliath I keep feeding.

The latter 😔

Right? This diva said I’m gonna take down the Christian patriarchy STARTING WITH YOU

Read a single blurb and you’ll realize you’re yelling at a wall.

Good morning

Girl what? It’s poetry, it’s not a Christian book relax.

Christmas morning

Is anyone doing an online reading an needs an extra reader? I've been out of the game far too long!

Yesterday when my husband and I got coffee 3 baristas audibly gasped that we were wearing matching outfits. One covered her face in disbelief when I said it was an accident. Being gay in Tennessee is like being a controversial celebrity.

Obsessed with my family 🧡

I literally never figured it out when I first turned in my manuscript. Just started on page 4 lol

We didn’t realize we’ve been matching for hours now

I fear book 2 is on the way

I rewatched “Eddie’s Million Dollar Cook Off” last night and I now i get why I loved it so much, it’s a giant metaphor for being gay
