Did I cross the line..? Surely not, this was all quite necessary to glean the closure I needed. Closure I wouldn’t get from him.

8 years spent together and when I said goodbye he understood his marching orders, offensively well infact. So well that I questioned how much I really meant to him to begin with. His reaction to our breakup was as half hearted as an obligatory “good game” handshake mad...

The rest of the group is huddled by the waterfall, laughing and taking selfies. She hopes she won’t be caught sitting alone in the back of the photos.

The scenery is beautiful, the water calming, she tells herself. But she can’t help but feel a bit winsome for her own kin, the people that make her feel like sunshi...

This one is for the weird girlies who enjoy books like “A Certain Hunger” and “Bunny” and anything with a female protagonist who is lowkey depraved. Anyone who has experienced or questioned the female experience, people who have enjoyed taking mushrooms and think about identity and physical space.

How many people have seen a watery fate? Plenty of drunk sailors or unprepared beach goers you presume. Water is fickle, life giving and life taking.

Your legs work overtime to keep your head above the waves, white tipped and sharp l...
