Why doesn’t he just understand?

He thought Jeremiah was so good at reading him, but not today.

Roman longs for that understanding. But maybe he doesn’t even comprehend what he is even thinking himself.

So he goes to someone who might.

“Dude, what’s wrong? I can see it on your face,” Cross points out, a worrying look in his eyes. Roman doesn’t normally express his emotions out r...

"There's something I've been meaning to talk to you about," Max said to his best friend, Marc.

"There's something I've been meaning to talk to you about," Sandra said to her best friend, Sarah.

"Ask away," Marc responded with the same comforting smile he always had.

"What's on your mind?" Sarah asked, knowing to expect the worse whenever Sandra had a problem.

"I cheated." Max said, looking do...

"Hey, man." I slide into the booth, smiling at my best friend sitting across from me. "How's tricks?"

"Pretty decent, can't complain. I got you a beer," he replies, sliding the bottle over to me. I grab it and grin. "Cheers!" We click bottles before both taking a sip and placing them back down in front of us.

"Thanks, man."

"No worries. So, what did you want to talk to me about?" I grin sheepishl...

Do it this way

No that

Get a dog

Once upon a time in a small town, there lived a young couple named Emma and David. They had been together for several years and recently got engaged. With their wedding approaching, they found themselves feeling both excited and anxious about the journey ahead. Unsure of what marriage would truly be like, they each decided to visit their closest friends for advice—hoping to find guidance and clari...

“I just don’t know,” she whispered to her best friend as they swung on the porch swing. She stared out at the rising sun.

“I just don’t know,” he confessed to his best friend as he cast his line into the still water.

“Well,” her friend said.

“Well,” his friend said.

“You do love him, you know that for sure.”

“You do love her, you know that for sure.”

“Yes of course,” the girl responded.

“No doubt ...

Old school hip hop bounced around the the gym’s rafters. Despite the industrial fans the air was soup. Nearly every treadmill was occupied with weekend warriors. On neighboring ellipitcals, Aisha and Carmen laughed.

“No she didn’t. Not a schedule for the bathroom. That’s taking assigned seating to the nth degree,” Carmen said with a cackle.

“Evelyn has a timetable for everything. When we arrive,...

He left me! Oh gosh. I guess that’s what I should have expected. Why did a relationship that lasted three months feel like three years? My mum told me to get over it and find someone new. She said there were thousands, if not millions of people, waiting for love.

I drank my heart out one night, in a bar out in a dark alley. I met a guy who ordered apple juice. What a strange man he was, ordering ...

while I weep and cry

withering whilst I am sleep deprived

wondering weary as I die

if only the dagger would stab me, but why

starving for something she knows she wanted

waiting for something she will be beat

“Hey Juli?”

“Nooooooooo”

“Ok then” I say with a stare at the floor

When Juli burst into my apartment in tears I jumped to the conclusion that her boyfriend broke up with her. The slight problem is that said boyfriend is my cousin, who ma...
