I keep catching myself thinking and saying the oddest things. Things you’re not “supposed” to own up to. Things you’re “supposed” to push down and ignore, pretend never happened, never existed. But, they persist… We used to live in that building… My ex wore a scarf just like that when we first met… I had [...]

My exes never seem to be very far from me and the realization, the reminder, gives me pause. A few weeks ago I received a text from a phone number that was like a ghost whispering in my ear, “Remember me? Thought you’d quite forgotten?” The strangest thing about this particular text is that I [...]
