      Perfection

      Jun 9, 2020

      For years I could barely write a page. I thought I was becoming a virtuoso of smallness while the grief, which is wordless, occupied an ever-greater volume. My friend lived in the estates on the bad side of town. Let’s go to the forest, she said when

      Summer Playlist: Beyond the Cyclical

      Jun 20, 2018

      It’s summer, which means it’s time for a new playlist. Instead of seeking out new music, I decided instead to play through the songs in my current music library, combing for old or undiscovered gems. If you’re like me, you’ve accumulated music over t

      Truth Be Told? - Nathan Curtis

      Told?

      Introduction

      The truth shall set you free is a common phrasing we all have heard time and time again. Does the truth set you free?

      I was on the journey of truth, the truth to find out who I really was, to love myself and figure out why I did not love myself, to search for love, to find the meaning of family and if my family showed me that love; it may have been why I was searching for it or maybe not.

      Many questions I asked and still ask today and daily find the answers through my gift I transfer through a pen onto a legal pad.

      For a time I loved my family endlessly, then started to hate them; I hated them for covering up the truth and only showing me the good in people and not the bad, the good of the world and not the bad, the good in myself and not the bad, the good in them and not the bad.
