“Yes—drug addiction, writing—they’re both escape routes. But one of those routes wasn’t carved using a dirty spoon. One of those routes won’t collapse on you when you try to crawl through it.”
I’m so glad you chose to write. The world needs your voice.
Fantastic. I agree—towards the end hiding was the only option. I still do it 14 years later but only for brief moments and never from others. Just from myself. 🙏
I only write with greasy spoons. Dip them in a jar of bacon fat and pretend Im Ben Franklin. Just recalled that the last song I wrote is titled "Bacon Grease Girl". Inspired by this: https://youtu.be/9xc39kBLcIA?si=gvc67l1zlzJdiP68
Shes from the same place as me, theres a whole other story there.

You’re too kind. I’m so glad you choose to read!
Such gorgeous writing. The best kind—where I feel I’ve experienced a piece of your life :)
i will keep reading!!!
Woo! Thanks, Neva
All the imagining and the revising and the self-reflecting, I’m amazed how much I’ve learned about myself, and I couldn’t have done it without you.
Thank you, you’re a gem of a friend—a gem of a person at that.

And you write great stories that take place in greasy spoon diners!
Its the only place I know. They got no place else to go.
Masterful! So very proud!
