Don't Look Back
"We have to end this," I said, looking out the window. My breath fogged the glass, marking the barrier between myself and the frigid winter night beyond.

Why a Break Won’t Break Me
I’ll admit that in the last few days, I have spent most of my alone time sobbing and my time in public trying not to. Then, one day it stopped. I had realized that just like you needed a break to better yourself, I could do the same. I took my alone time and turned it into inspiration, and here’s a few things I’ve learned.

It All Boils Down to This
Sometimes I become frustrated, sad, lonely, uneasy, impatient, antsy, scared, and ready to self-sabotage. Those are the times that I stand back and really look at her. I take all of her in to the extent that I can.

Head First Into Toxic Waste
Toxic love has victimized many people in different forms. Like many who have experienced toxic love with another knows the tragedy that comes along with it. Toxic love forms a bubble that cascades the weak and the willing together to form a unity or a bond. Like a parasite it leaches to your soul. It feeds off of another person’s weakened entity to survive.

How to Overcome Insecurities When Dating as a Guy
Take it from me, when dating as a guy, it can be a complete crapshoot. As somebody who has dabbled in spur of the moment conversation and the online dating scene (with varying success for both), it is easy to develop insecurities. You will rack your brain over why things don't work, what your limits should be and even when things seem to fall into place.

Fake It To Make It?
High school is a real-time la la land you just can’t get out of. You have a test today, whoops guess what, a 5 peg essay due tomorrow! But besides the work, you have friends, boyfriends/girlfriends, crushes, and mutual relationships with your peers.

When Serendipity Knocks
Have you ever looked around at your life and wondered…what the hell? Some people would call that a quarter life crisis, some call it being an adult, some just call it life. For me, it was a Tuesday.

Why Me?
Another question I constantly ask myself is: why me? Why do I have to feel the way I do? Why can't my mind take control over the pain so that I can be happy again? I don't even remember what it's like to be completely happy... until I am around my best friend.

Someone that I Used to Know
I guess it was always easier to just pretend that it never happened, to go on with your life not caring how the other person feels. Yeah...

What I Learned from Being a LGBT+ Artist
When I started drawing webcomics I never thought about how they could affect me. I just wanted to draw and make people smile, but recently I posted a comic about being polysexual called "Twitterpated." It left many with questions and then I realized I never told my readers I'm transgender and polysexual because I can draw myself the way I want to be perceived. Then for a while I didn't post anything related to my sexuality or gender identity because I didn't want to be labeled as the "gay comic guy." Then I realized that by not talking about my sexuality and gender identity I was pushing myself back into the closet. My sexuality and gender identity is who I am and that is the part of myself I should be proud of. I should be setting an example that it's okay to be who you are, I shouldn't be afraid to be who I am. So I came out and the support I got was amazing. It made me reevaluate why I was posting comics.

Addicted to an Addict
11/14/15 We matched on Tinder. I was one of the rare few; from what I was told, that actually read over profiles instead of swiping left or right on the pictures alone. I enjoyed your profile. Was I really one of the only girls out there that cared what a potential partner had to say? Every profile was a small window into the type of person that was behind the app. A very very... very.... small, microscopic window...
