I found my sugar daddy!

At long last, my poetry has paid off—not with literary acclaim, but cold, hard cash from a stranger on Tumblr. Who needs a Pulitzer when I have weekly direct deposits and a man who says he’s seen battle? That’s right, folks, I’m retiring to a life of luxury, sipping bargain-bin champagne while my benefactor spins tales of his heroic deeds in my DMs. Dreams really do come true. /s

Personal: Finding a Better Home for My Poetry

I’ve moved most of my poetry to Tumblr for more flexibility—Medium’s daily limits were too restrictive. Over half is already transferred, and formatting feels much easier. I’ll continue posting poetry on my personal site alongside personal stories, though I’m not sharing the link since those posts are deeply personal and part of my process of working through past experiences. Some of my more vulnerable poems haven’t made the move to Tumblr or Medium—I still prefer to keep them in a quieter space for now.
