As I wrote in my (long overdue) April 1st post, I began to find some writing inspiration last year. It wasn’t until this past January, however, that I started to get angry.

In which I become paralyzed (figuratively, not literally)
Do y’all remember Preston? The guy with the suicidal dog? The guy I was with when the cops got called on our date because of the previously mentioned suicidal dog? Well, guess who got in touch with me a few months ago? You don’t have to be a rocket scientist to figure that one out, […]

“Nothing is impossible; the word itself says ‘I’m Possible.'”
