We met on the net,
Distance, our sole
Apparent foe
Vanquished.
And then,
We laughed, and loved, and danced
Circle full
Together
We skipped over hurdles,
Darted through hoops.
Fearless.

Winter came
Upheld its court
Made berth in hearts
and deepest dark port.
Spiritless and stumbling
Through inner blind alleys
Slipping hands
We let go
Turned
Empty embrace.
—Still Born

To my one dear love: you forgave my transgression. You saw me as the extremely flawed human I am and gave me a second chance from a place of love. I am the luckiest girl -and best crazy 8's player- in the whole wide world. —Apex Vortex Girl

To the adorable drive thru girl at the Tim Hortons on Barrington who almost always gives me my coffee, thank you for making my day with your pretty smile. Visors are gross but you make it look good. —a newfound coffee addict

You came into my life quickly and in a way I didn't expect. It feels like you were always supposed to be here. You gave me such a sweet and romantic Valentine’s Day. I find myself smiling just thinking of you. I've never fell so fast. On one hand I am terrified. I am scared of getting hurt again. I worry I just won't make it through. I hope in my heart that you are the one. That maybe you are what I have been missing all these years. It is too soon to tell but this could be our happy ending. I am too afraid to admit it to myself or to you that I have totally fallen in love with you. Maybe someday I will muster up the courage to let the words leave my lips... —Scratches

Hey babe: fuck yeah. After four years of being told I was too a) fat; b) horny; and/or c) crude, lewd, too much attitude, I developed some serious self-esteem issues. You are undoing all of those issues, one beautiful boner at a time. —I love your dick

Walking by the corner of Barrington and South with friends, we stopped when we saw an older women struggling getting home with her groceries. We were debating how to help when a nearby police car beat us to it. They drove up beside the woman and offered her a ride home. Thank you to whoever was so kind and thoughtful to do such a thing! Restoring our faith! —21THANKYOUS

If you like me, even if you shouldn't, you should tell me. I know why you shouldn't. It's a great reason. But come on, we both know things could and would be so amazing. —64

Nighttime at the supermarket. I’m buying nothing but snack food. The cashier cracks a joke, asking me if I’m sure I don’t need eggs or cereal. I launch into a diatribe: Fuck cereal. Cereal isn’t food. I don’t trifle with kibble for people. I turn around to face you. You’re buying three boxes of muesli and a thing of kale. I stutter a bit about how yogurt ALSO isn’t food, but I think I’ve lost you. I’ve thought of you often, breakfast food man. I’ve scanned the faces of far too many white guys and lingered a little too long in the cereal aisle. Alas, no luck. You’re one hot spoonful, muesli dude. —Pyjama-clad snack shopper

I wish I could tell you how alive you make me feel when no one else has in years. I'm sorry. I've been pushing you away, since you got back, and now you leave again so soon. It's not my place to complicate things further so I try to move on and play it cool. I don't think I'm capable of loving, but damn if you didn't make me want to try again. Thanks for the night we had recently. It was a nice addition to last summers encounter. —Lost in translation
