I've been busy lately, which is exactly what I wanted.
My personal improvement project is going quite well, though only4 days old at this point. I've had no offers of reward, encouragement, or companionship but I have I have inspired a few people to take a similar approach in their own lives, which is awesome. Running [...]

I'm fat. Yeah, I'm just figuring this out now. I guess I'm slow too.
It's not serious. But it's borderline. No. Fuck it, it's serious.
Most importantly, I simply don't like the way I look. I don't like the way I look dressed and I really don't like the way I look naked. Well except for that [...]

I was important.
I was not alone.
I had you.
I left.
I felt lonely.
I felt insignificant.
I was without you.
Looking behind me, I see
Though I was not alone,
I was lonely still.
Though I was important,
my importance was trivial.
Looking ahead, I see
I am alone,
though unlonely.
I am unknown,
thought my importance is significant.
Lonely has no opposite.

Celeste will be 11 months old tomorrow. Time is flying by and I feel like I'm missing so much of her life. It's not that I haven't been there for nearly every new and interesting moment, it's just that I lose track of when they happened. For instance, she can climb stairs now. But I [...]

As he was absorbed into the dark, distant night
he knew this would be the last time
he'd watch her walk away.
Yet still he held on as tightly as he could
to the one piece of her that was left.

I am surrounded by clatter and commotion.
The clang-crash of pots and pans
falling from the cupboard to the floor
as I look further back.
Despite the noise, I am seeking.
The click-scrape of plastic parts
forgotten far in the back,
each corner forcing a new worry.
Despite the noise, I write while driving
because it feels good to feel.
I will teach nine years [...]
