I wrote this a few years ago in the hope of finding the confidence to give it to my Dad face to face, sit with him while he read it, and begin a calm and rational dialogue. I hoped to find the perfect moment, but of course it has never come, and now I feel that his age and health makes my need for resolution selfish, so yet again I have left words unspoken, emotions locked away and will never have my answer. I am sharing them here now, for the first time since they were written. Their release will perhaps release my need to find an ending...

Summary

This is dedicated to a very special friend who means so much to me. We have such a strong mental connection there's not a topic we can't share, whether based in reality or our ability to transcend that and take our minds outside of the normal boundaries. Both suffering forms of mental illness we meet on a level I'm unable to do with anyone else, and with language and depth that makes my heart and soul fly. I will forever be grateful to Fate for bringing us together. Written 18.3.2018. For J. X

Summary

Having lost my virginity later than most of my peers, the next few years were wild as I became caught in that familiar confusion of love versus sex. Many mistakes were made, many heartaches borne. Some I bounced back from quickly, others left deeper scars. This one was worthy of a few words. God I loved that boy... Circa 1987.

Summary

Another day, another place, another stranger. But boy, is he even real? It felt like this guy has been hand-crafted to make me despise & love someone at the same time. Since my tendency to fall for every other guy can often land me into difficult sitches, I decided to not to go with the flow this time. I'm not gonna let my hormones get the best of me anymore. I can't sustain to mess this one up. So for the first time in a long time I decided? to shut the fuck up about my ever-fluctuating feelings and pretend to be cool.
