When an addict dies is it suicide? What is the difference between the death of a soldier on the front lines and the death of an addict on the sidelines? Both fought in wars that were never meant to be won, only one is met with parades and raised flags while another is left with…

    My body is a commodity that men think can be bought with fancy dinners, cheap wine and the interests of their past lovers. They sweeten me up with empty promises and half-baked compliments, like a pig being fattened for the slaughterhouse, they see me as a banquet for them to devour. I am not a&h...

    There is a special place in hell that is reserved for men who ghost women after sex. I'm devastated right but unsurprised. We went on four dates and on the fourth I stayed at his place and we spent the night together. Once we had done the deed I noticed that he became more withdrawn…

    My loneliness has driven me to places where a gun to my head could not make me enter. It has eaten away at every ounce of my dignity and self-respect. I throw myself into the arms of anything hungry enough to want me. I have sacrificed my worth countless times to avoid being alone at…

    I feel like praying to God is pointless. What makes me better or more deserving of mercy than others? Children are being massacred on the other side of the world and millions are living in worse conditions so why would God pay any attention to my cries if theirs have gone unanswered for so long?&...

    I am a failure. I have never achieved anything notable in my life. My parents are ashamed of me and my sisters pity me. I have had so many opportunities for success but it feels as though there is an immovable force obstructing my path. I am truly a failure, I have nothing to show…
