“You won,” my friend says. And I guess I needed to hear that message. After all the shit we’ve been through, what we’re left with today is nothing more than what we started out with a decade ago. But it’s different. It doesn’t look different, but it feels different. Sometimes winning simply means getting back …
Dancing in the shower to some corny 90s pop song, beautifully scalding water cascading down my shoulders, back, over my curves. I could lose myself in the joy of the moment, or I could pout that master is not joining me tomorrow night. stupid snowmaggaden mrr mrr meh I am a very happy little kitten. …

She is wild, unpredictable, but she calls to me and her voice is soothing and sweet among the crashing waves. She sings to me, sometimes it feels only me. Yet I know she is singing to any and all who dare to approach her. I miss the ocean. It’s lovely to have water nearby, but …
Sssshh, little kitten. Everything is going to be okay. It’s difficult to push aside harsh and frustrating truths at times. Nor do I think anyone should avoid confronting one’s reality. Only I do believe that it’s okay to take a deep breath every so often. Lose oneself in a happy place. Troubles can wait until …
I went in search of my dart set today. My fellow teachers and I would play darts most nights, after we finished teaching and ate dinner. We’d meet up in Kyungsungdae (one of the college areas) where there were lots of restaurants and bars. One of my (our) friends owned a bar that we liked to go …
