"It seemed like you could know me. Like you could understand anything I told you. And the more we spoke, I knew why. The same things excited us. The same things concerned us."

"I decided on you, don’t you get that? I decided on you. I don’t want to go fucking other people and then walk around feeling thrilled and then sad, or empty, or whatever. I like the smell of your hair, and I like the sound of your voice, and I fucking decided on you."

Work in Progress

I met a woman today named Patricia. My apartment has never been so clean because of Patricia. I almost went through today without my heart pierced by the injustice of sorrow and my take-out boxes still surrounding the places where I sleep.

My father, James Walter Jr., learned from his father, James Walter Senior, the value of hard work. There are no cut corners. There are no jobs left unfinished. Why take the time to believe in yourself, because you’ll very quickly prove to yourself that you can do it because you have done it and then some. James Walter Senior was an astrolabe. The house I grew up in became the canvass on which my family displayed the void his death left in our lives.My dad lost his way on how to become a decent father and husband. He was violently angry, an attempt to assert authority, yet endearingly sensitive, an attempt to reconcile the harm he caused. The anger kept you co-dependent, parched for love, while the sweetness made you weary to form the connection you so desperately wanted. Somehow the work ethic weaved its way around the oscillation of conscience, and my dad did a thorough job at destroying our family.
