A winding nighttime walk and talk about questions, stubborn answers, stray government files, and how curiosity keeps the world from locking shut.

I went to AutoZone for car wash stuff, and the sales manager asked someone on the phone, “Can you hold?”

Which is fine.

But then my brain started doing what it does, because “Can you hold?” is not the same thing as “May I please place you on a brief hold?” And “sorry about that” is not the same thing as “thank you for waiting.”

Then I went to the car wash, watched people invent the least efficient line possible, got mad at truck drivers, defended truck drivers, noticed their sunglasses, fought with Armor All wipes, and remembered that people are not usually failing to think.

They are usually just thinking suboptimally.

Anyway, watch your words.

There is no harm in what you say.

Until there is.

I bought printer ink, walked out of Walmart, and the alarm beeped.

Then someone said, “That was him.”

But a beep is not proof. A policy is not a law. And “it was not me” is not the same thing as “it was him.”

That’s really the whole rant.

You do not need to decorate the truth with a warning label.

This short piece is not merely about the word honestly, it's about the word honestly... it's about performative sincerity.

It is about the strange weakness of announcing a virtue instead of embodying it, the language as self-betrayal.

Some people staple little disclaimers to the front of their truth because they do not fully trust their own presence.

Do it in silence.

Let the work happen where nobody can clap for it, question it, mock it, poison it, or interrupt it.

Then let the results speak.

Some things grow better in the dark.

Remember.

You are not your name.

You are not the paperwork, the labels, the body, the story, or the spell somebody taught you to answer to.

There is something underneath all of that.

The one behind the name. The one moving through the game. The one remembering.

Remember.

A word. A silence. A question. A door. A look. A price. A little pile of change in somebody's hand.

You do not have to accept everything that comes toward you.

Sometimes the most powerful spell is just "no".

June is a strange month for my heart.

There are good things happening. Beautiful things, even. But the body remembers what the calendar is carrying before the mind always catches up.

This one is about grief, God, my mom, my dads, the smelter, the weight that does not go away, and the miracle of still being here after all of that.
