Gmorning. It’s better with you in it. The whole thing. It’s better cuz you’re here. Let it dissolve slow if it’s too much to swallow. Or wash it down w some coffee, but take it in: Life’s better with you in it.

Airplane read thanks to @elizabethaself! Excited for more from some #YAlit authors we read this semester and to continue learning how to bring acceptance, openness, and voice to young adults exploring who they are

You know who’s really gonna suffer during this social distancing? Dudes on dating apps Welcome back to courtship, Brad. Welcome back to talking to a gal for WEEKS prior to meeting. We’re pen pals now, my dude. We bout to get Jane Austen up in here. Now, write me a poem.

Gmorning. Breathe deep. That hitch in your breath is a record scratch. That throbbing in your temple is the bass, and you control the volume knob. The scars in your mind and your heart are grooves that run deep. YOUR music. YOUR heart. YOUR life. You got the aux cord. Bump it
