literature
Whether written centuries ago or just last year, literary couples show that love is timeless.
Practice vs Performance
One of the quiet pressures shaping modern communication is the assumption that anything written should be immediately shareable. Drafts blur into declarations, and exploration is mistaken for conclusion. Under this pressure, writing becomes performative by default. The moment words are placed on a page, they are treated as finished statements rather than steps in a process. This expectation distorts both how writing is produced and how it is received, collapsing practice into performance and leaving little room for genuine development.

on Medium
on Medium I joined Medium about two months ago and struggle to get into the site or decide what to write about. Of course, I want to promote myself like most—otherwise why would we be here? And if you have other reasons, I would love to hear them. Frankly I find it a bit overwhelming and chaotic. I write poetry for the most part and have decided to stop pursuing traditional publishing avenues and self publish so naturally I need to self promote.

Saltwater and Ashes
Sometimes the sea holds what we cannot. The sea was quiet enough to take me. Not violently. Not in a dramatic, thrashing way. Just quietly — the way grief does. I floated on my back, my ears softened by water, my eyes fixed on the wide, indifferent sky. Birds skimmed low across the surface, their wings almost brushing my face. I was only moments from shore — from my husband, from my boys, from my life. I could have stood up easily. The water was not that deep.
