I stared at the door to the meeting hall. Normally I would head right in with the fake smile I give when I tell my dates I’ll call them. This time, I could barely move. My mind was reeling and my self-worth seemed to be crashing into the pile of fake horse shit I let […]
Read more "Goodbye Wednesday | (The Bare Essentials Series)"I have a rule, never bring them back to my place. They will fill the gaps of serenity that I have provided myself in my home with memories that will become like flash movies. I don’t want to feel, but mostly I don’t want those memories. However, it still takes a while to get used […]
Read more "Water Soluble | (The Bare Essential Series)"“Why are you here?” said the skinny twig sitting next to me. I blanked for the first time as I looked across the room to find Wednesday’s seat unfulfilled with her soft, warm body. I glanced over to the person sitting next to me and saw her staring right at me. “Excuse me?” “It’s your […]
Read more "Empty | (The Bare Essentials Series)"After Mr. Wifey, I found myself slithering in heartache. Anyone, I mean literally anyone could scratch the itch that he left me with. To the point that self-worth wasn’t really even part of my vocabulary, after all, I did the dirtiest of deeds in the sanctity of “love”. You would think this is what landed […]
Read more "Desired | (The Bare Essentials Series)"Sex, periods and poop; three things that somehow make their way in the conversation over our Bloomin Onion and Sangrias.

Read more "Wednesday Night (#2) | (The Bare Essentials Series)"Insecurities, they are the epitome of evil even when they are a subconscious feeling. We have these connotations around us that everything should be a certain something or other and it’s fucking insane. Women should be a size 2, men should be taller than 5’5″ and paychecks should be larger that 4 figures. I’ve spent […]
Read more "Impressively Small | (The Bare Essentials Series)"The news that I’m Bi was a shock, even for myself. I can still remember that first moment when my heart ached for another female.

Read more "Summer Camp | (The Bare Essentials Series)"What is there to do on a Wednesday Night in the middle of a city? Bars, bowling, local author reading, or like me group therapy. Maybe it’s because I like to talk or maybe it’s because I like to be heard, but there’s nothing like a good 3 minutes of me in front of a […]
Read more "Wednesday Night | (The Bare Essentials Series)"Let’s be clear when it comes to a romp in the bedroom, back seat or barnyard (hey everyone has their thing!) there is one main rule, always finish and for men, it should be asked politely where.
