1. An Open Letter To the Girls I Fucked Who Wanted Love But Only Got A Dick
The 1st piece that I ever published back in 2016 at age 26.
It's an apology to the women I hurt in my youth, inspired by my heart being broken open due to my mother’s battle with Pancreatic Cancer.
In it, I confront the ways my conscious and unconscious misogyny, selfishness, and objectification harmed women who genuinely cared about me.

2. Love: Appreciation Vs. Possession and Why Possessiveness Is Toxic In Any Relationship
Here I compare and contrast love and possession and explore how my mother's possessiveness over me pushed me away from her and how my possessiveness made every romantic relationship I'd had at the point of writing toxic.

3. I am not what you see or what you say
So much of our sense of self is rooted in our bodies and the identities assigned to us because of how our bodies look.
This piece is a bit of an introduction into self-inquiry and non-duality. It talks about the process of shedding my worldly identities and coming to know myself as I truly am — as the eternal spirit that animates the body, not the body itself.

4. Who Made You Feel Unworthy?
Towards the end of last year I discovered that I had an unworthiness wound which was the crux of an unconscious habit of self-sabotage.
I became very curious as to the origins of this wound so that I could heal it once and for all.
I discovered that my unworthiness did not originate with myself but rather, it was the result of things that were projected onto me by those closest to me—
my family.

5. Color Outside the Lines: My Experience as an 'Alternative' Black Man
I explore my existence as a Black man whose core experiences are similar to most other Black Americans but who also has beliefs, interests, & desires that deviate from what is commonly acceptable within Black culture.
I speak on how being 'Black' often felt more limiting than empowering & how embracing taboo things such as my feminine side helped me accept & appreciate myself exactly as I am.
