    I Have Zero Talent

    I have zero talent.Everything I am and everything I know—I learned the hard way.Through mistakes. Through mess. Through the school of hard knocks.I’m self-taught.I’m self-made. I’ve got a lot of its. If I have it, I worked for it.If I wanted it, I saved for it.If I want to keep it, I take care of…

  • Choose Your Hard

    Choose Your Hard

    Life’s hard. Not in the Instagram-quote kind of way. In the real way. The way that leaves marks. The way that forces you to decide which pain you’re willing to live with—because either way, you’re gonna bleed. Marriage? Hard.You’re locking in with someone who’s gonna see every flaw, every bad habit, every ugly truth you try to…

  • Never Anyone Else

    Never Anyone Else

    Every now and then, I’ve been asked, “What’s it like to be you?” And the truth is, I don’t really know. I’ve never been anyone else. There’s no point of comparison, no test run in someone else’s skin, no “before” story to measure against my own. This road—rough in some places, sharp in others—is the only one…

    Grabbin’ Biscuits

    Ever heard the saying, “you gotta risk it for the biscuit”?Nobody can quite pin down where it started—some say an old newspaper headline, some say an ad campaign, maybe just street talk that stuck. Doesn’t matter. What matters is why it stuck. Because deep down, we all know the truth inside it:Life doesn’t hand out biscuits.You…

    Embracing the Beauty of Almost

    It’s hard to measure almost; cause almost doesn’t count. ~Dray Orion They say close only counts in horseshoes and hand grenades.But “almost”—that’s a different beast. Almost is dirty. It’s frustrating. It’s the bruise you keep pressing just to remind yourself you were in the fight.Most people write it off. No win? Doesn’t matter.But almost is where…

    If I Died Last Night

    If I died last night… Would you be angry you didn’t call me back?Would you remember the last thing I said to you?Would it be something worth holding on to… or something you’d wish you could change? If I died last night, you’d hear people talk about me—and they’d list the bullet points.Where I was…

    Years of Experience

    We’ve all seen shitty drivers, right? Of course, we have.They should have passed a test for their license, they know ‘most’ of the rules. They know how to turn (even if most do it without a turn signal), back up, play their favorite song, park (questionable), and fill up the gas tank (most at least).…

  • The Plug

    The Plug

    I’m the plug. For every demon I ever tried to outrun. I quit running. Now I keep them fed. They come to me hollow-eyed and hungry, mouths open, needing something wicked to chew on—and I give it to them. Sadism in a syringe.Degradation wrapped in lace.Rage with a ribbon.Shame on tap like fine wine. I…

    The Importance of Words: The Power of Asking

    Let’s be clear about something: Dominants are not mind readers. We don’t have a crystal ball that tells us exactly what you need, what you want, or how far you want to go. You can’t expect us to always guess. You have to use your words. I tell my submissives all the time: “Use your…

  • You Thought I would Break

    You Thought I would Break

    You thought I would break, didn’t you?You saw the cracks and mistook them for weakness.But I wasn’t cracking—I was expanding.Stretching past what tried to contain me. Growing into a version of myself you never saw coming. You thought the silence meant defeat. You mistook stillness for surrender.But I wasn’t frozen—I was choosing my next move…
