I’m something not
everyone knows how to love. But, she does. She accepted that challenge. I wake up in the middle of the night and roll
over. She’s still there. She’s always there. I position half of my body on top of her in a
way that doesn't cause her to wake. We
lay heartbeat to heartbeat. Every time
she inhales, it pulls my heart closer into hers. She is the roots that keep me grounded into
this place.
She is home to me.

I did an interview last week about If You Go, I Go. I was asked why the story was so tragic. My response? Because that's life. Things can be extremely good, as shown through Allyson and Conor falling in love. But things can also be extremely bad. Life has both, which is why this story shows both. I'm not a pessimist as many people have pegged me mainly because of this story. The new short story title, Challenge Accepted, actually started as a joke because my mum suggested that I was incapable of writing a happy love story. I think I have a different concept of happy than most people. Authenticity makes me happy. Challenge Accepted is an authentic love story... interpret that however you'd like.
