    Just a Kid

    • Holy Damn, Nick. That’s good.
      (Take the ‘e’ off your ‘grab’)
      I love the refrain. It emphasizes urgency. I like the conversational tone, the second person narrative… the pleading.
      This is a gut-wrenching piece, and I can feel it to the core.
      Really well done!

      • Thanks for the read. Abuse is something that doesn’t get enough notice. I know I grew up around it as well as many friends and family. I think it’s always good to put a light on that issue.

    • Powerfully penned, Nick. Can feel the emotion in your words, great write my friend. Appreciate you.

    Silent Agreement

    would you be there if you found out I wasn't that rich? I grew up poor had to fight for what I got I'll never be the one with a lot of cash but what I have, I earned is that worth something to you? would...

    • What I love about this piece is emotional intimacy… the shit you talk about at the end of a weekend vacation before Monday morning rolls around and bites you in the butt. You’re looking out over the horizon just wondering what tomorrow will bring, and it’s time to get real about where we are going. Are you with me or not? Am I really what you want? You brace yourself and pray for plain English after laying out your limitations.

      I feel the anxiety and sense the reassurance. It’s well written, Nick.

      • I usually tell people that love takes a lot of hell to get to heaven. You have to be willing to go through that with that person. And I definitely have the experience.

        Thanks for the read, friend.

    • Powerfully penned, Nick. This is an incredible write my friend. Appreciate you.

    • Damn… that’s depressing.
      Some people can’t be helped. They just keep taking, and you have to build a wall.

      • Met a few people that just take and take. They’ll bring you down if you don’t build that wall. Thanks for the read. Much appreciated.

    • Powerfully penned, Nick. Some people are users my friend, they’re in it as long as it’s an asset to them. Once you can’t be that for them any longer, they’ll put you out to pasture. And find someone who can, it’s a never ending cycle of revolving friends for them. I speak from experience. Incredible write. Appreciate you.
