I've known this girl since we were 11. Had a crush on her since we reconnected at 20. Now, 27, she has told me within the last few days that she has been IN LoVE with me for years now. Haven't seen her since this came to light but I'm seeing her tonight... wish us luck??

The girl tells her dad she’s not a she/her — she’s a they/them. The dad says he love her — sorry, them — no matter what. A few years later, he pays for their surgery. When he wakes up, he says he wants to go to McDonald’s, and get that boy toy she never got

Orgiva is a beautiful village outside Granada. Lots of expats live there. I like their FB group because of posts like this one:

“‘He’s blessing his food,’ my father says as Brendan walks around our kitchen island. He touches things softly, his finger like moonlight settling on the rim of a cup.” Two brilliant shorties.

Ate popcorn and ice cream for lunch today not because I’m an adult who can do whatever she wants, but rather because I’m an adult who is frustrated

Sunlight and raindrops create rainbows together, which is nature's way of telling us that optimists and pessimists are a perfect match

"What you remember about that night. Spooning soup into his mouth. The heat of his forehead under your hand as you smoothed back his hair. The tenderness of your lovemaking, despite his betrayal. How dim the room was." Damn, @doylejacq in @Little_Fiction: littlefiction.com/beta/2019F…

So thankful to @Little_Fiction for taking a chance on one of my most tender little things — about my father & functional heart murmurs & forbidden love — & by far my most revised piece: littlefiction.com/beta/2019F…

My CNF piece about my postpartum struggles is up at @Little_Fiction! This was extremely difficult to write, and it’s even harder to share, but I think it’s important to talk about what can happen after birth: littlefiction.com/beta/2019F…
