The Keys

August 15, 2018

I remember the first time I met my best friend in Washington DC, I didn't like her.

Is all truly fair in love and war?

April 19, 2018

I search for you on crowded subway trains. I search out of this desperate longing to see you again... Its been almost 2 years since I last heard your voice. It's been almost 2 years since I last followed the spiral in your beard on your cheek with my finger and then kissed it. I always loved you with a beard. And you grew it for me even though you knew she would find it odd...

When Its Over

April 15, 2018

As I stand here, taking pause in the shadow of the Empire State Building I feel as if I’m looking on a memory, rather than living in the present. Witnessing a time gone by; a story about “that one time I...”. Because, standing here, on this cold winter morning, I know I have already decided to leave New York. In one year, this city, this wonderfully messy, difficult, incomparable city will be behind me. It’s a strange thought, when you’re in the middle of it...

Time Stood Still...

April 1, 2018

I left a great country with a one way ticket to New York. Big dreams, big ambitions and determination to succeed. Along the way, I was hoping to have some fun but ultimately find a girl who could be different. One that made time stood still...

Loving Kindness

February 25, 2018

Today marks your birthday, and also marks one year since She posted on your facebook wall while at your birthday party. Today marks one year and three weeks since we broke up. And one year and six weeks since I found Her hair on the carpet in the bedroom, on your side of the bed. Today marks one year and three months since I became suspicious.

French Nights in Brooklyn

February 25, 2018

He chose his family, and I understood... These things happen all the time in New York. The feast and famine of marriages and success. Yet somehow, that night was enough. It always will be.

The Cipriani, Leo and Crazy Rich People

The private equity firm I worked for in New York had a shit ton of money. Like, they wiped their asses with money.

The Drop

February 10, 2018

“Baby love!” someone shouted in the distance. Sean was walking, then running towards Lane. They embraced and Lane wept. It was the first time in two months she knew it was the end of them and this trip would be their last, so she couldn’t stop the tears...

"You realize, of course, that we can never be friends."

All it took was one casual swipe on one casual app and now I can’t imagine my life without him in it.

The Human Puzzle

January 31, 2018

So often I see similarities in friends and romantic partners. "We must fit!" I tell myself. "Look how well we match!" But even with the best intentions and deciphering thoughts, only an exact combination of puzzle pieces will be the right fit and result in a final product.

There must be something more than love, to make love last

January 28, 2018

What is the deeper thing that underlies this whole ‘love thing’ and keeps people together? 'Love' seems too general, too overused, it seems too broken a term and too broken a place to put ‘everlasting’. There must be a thing that is more than just love, to make love last.
