Halloween has always been a weird holiday for me. I mean, don’t get me wrong—I love dressing up, I love candy (way too much), and I love all the spooky decorations. But there’s something about Halloween that hits a little differently the older I get. Like, it’s no longer just about the costumes or parties;…

Dear Diary, Back when I first started writing (almost an entire decade now!), I started writing diary entries every day because I read online that it would be a great way to connect with readers.

Without consulting me, they deleted my account and refunded my Patreon subscribers. They then emailed me, informing me of their actions…

Dear Diary, Addiction is a motherfucker. Ever since I was a teenager (and a bit even before that), alcohol has been a mainstay in my life, something that was attached to almost all of my fondest memories.
