Escape Plan
I wish I would make things work better for me. My whole life, I’ve felt like if I would just try harder, I could make things go really well. I’ve felt this way about school, work, relationships, and almost everything I do.
But I always abandon the endeavor early. I see trouble on the horizon and I make sure I’m ready to abandon ship. I always keep a back up plan. Does that...

"Tears, Idle Tears" by Alfred Tennyson
Tears, idle tears, I know not what they mean,

In my head, nothing has changed
Sometimes, when I am trying to fall asleep at night, I imagine that I’m hanging out with my brother and eating a pizza or watching tv with him at his old condo. It’s pretty cool in my mind.

Five Years Gone
Five years is a long time. When I think about the distance I’ve traveled in those years, I’m not sure if I should be proud to have grown so much or ashamed that I might be so different from when I started.
I’ve now seen things I never would have dreamt possible five years ago, and some of the loftier presumptions I had about morality and life have all but disappeared.
