We spend a good amount of time in our lives worrying about mundane issues. I mean, people say things like “I’m having a bad hair day” because at that moment, it just seems… relevant to like, care about your hair that much. Some people even claim to be grateful and aware of how lucky or … Continue reading Chapter 10 – The pandemic
I still met with Jordan Catalano that Friday night. I figured that, if I didn’t, I wouldn’t never fully understand who I am as a person or how I felt about anything ever again as Jordan Catalano may just be the core of my experience as human in this incarnation, if there is such thing … Continue reading Chapter 9 – Nothing and everything
Sharon is not accepting the fact that Rayanne and Jordan Catalano are going to be grandparents very well… and for reasons completely different than mine. Sharon is beautiful.

It took me a long time to accept that sex and love didn’t necessarily have to co-exist.

Maybe so much you can’t control yourself… like eating it wasn’t even completely your choice. It … Continue reading Chapter 4 – Consequences
I wouldn’t exactly say I envy high school kids. At all. But there are certain times when I do. Like, when I think about the fact that some of them actually have a chance to be in Ricky’s class… ’cause I don’t know of anyone who would be more meant to do that. Teaching, that … Continue reading Chapter 3- Mr. Vasquez
Everything about Brian Krakow has always felt safe. Familiar. Even his hair smells like home and plaid. There’s nothing more comforting than knowing that someone loves you enough to never let go. Unconditionally. As if you were flawless… or from a different world and they were not worthy of you or something. It makes you … Continue reading Chapter 2 – House of cards
I have been doing a great job not thinking about him for the past 20 years. At least, I think I have… What I mean is, I hadn’t been thinking about him much at all, lately. And I strongly believe this is what being an adult is all about. You face your responsibilities and stick … Continue reading Chapter 1 – Adulthood
