Anger

Essays on the fire that lives inside us. At others, at ourselves, at the world. Written through the lens of what happens when anger meets a glass. The writing moves through the quiet burn of being dismissed, the weight of words never spoken, and the nights when the only audience is the drink in your hand.

Boredom

Essays on the weight of stillness, the restless energy that builds when life feels flat, and the hours that refuse to move. Written for people who know that boredom is not laziness. It is the ache of wanting more without knowing where to turn.

Rejection

Essays on the sting of being unseen, unheard, and unchosen. Written through quiet nights when the glass in hand felt like the only thing listening. The writing moves through lovers who left, family who could not accept, friends who disappeared, and the question that echoes beneath it all.

Who this is for

For anyone who has asked whether they are worthy and reached for a drink not out of weakness, but out of need. For anyone who has survived a no that felt like an ending.

Change

Essays on the quiet shifts that happen without announcement. The softening that arrives before meaning does, the nights when the internal argument simply stops. Written for people who are changing without performing it.

Who this is for

For anyone whose change does not look impressive. For anyone who is still moving, still drinking, still noticing something different without being able to name it.

Drinking to Love

Essays on what happens when love requires endurance instead of offering presence. Written through bourbon and silence, about the relationship that only worked when we drank and the loneliness that lived inside it.

Who this is for

For anyone who has stayed longer than they should have and coped quietly. For anyone who has used a glass to survive a love that required them to shrink.
