West hollywood — I’m going to start with a tiny background, a surface level framework of what makes up Henk. I grew up with two parents, one a biological mother, the other an adoptive father which at five years old I didn’t know what that meant, I just knew my dad was special. I’d tell everyone, “I was adopted by my dad, but not my mom.” Not knowing 15 years later that may be one of the hardest things I would have...
West hollywood — The third beginning, spontaneous yet again. My fingers are growing tired of writing unexpected goodbyes. Hoping that this one as all the others, you might be able to give your fingers a break. If all ...
West hollywood — If the time machine wasn’t just wishful thinking. I would go back to our sweet beginnings, Spending days where it felt so natural. Days with no animosity, no anger, jealousy or regret. No despair,...
West hollywood — As I mentioned in my previous article, people don’t like to feel right now it’s 2:34 am, and I am the best example of that article at this moment. It’s almost as if I had a premonition and, as a resu...
The days of the week always feel different. Sometimes, Thursdays feel like Fridays, and Sundays are too short.
An open letter to you, and to the next person that comes along.
My Life-changing Shriner's Hospital Visit
In the wake of enormous cataclysm, it hurts and then we forget....most of us.
melting but, pulsing like icicles during a mid-winter storm.
every night between three and four in the morning, just before the light shines through my window.
What no one tells you about Lana Del Rey and Codependence relapse in your twenties.
An open letter to the one his forever love.
I'm almost over midway through my twenties, and I'm more lost than I have ever been.
A swan was never meant and should never have to sing solo.
swans weren't meant to sing solo.
My feelings haven't changed since we met, telling me my care for you isn't unwarranted.
I have not left, I am not mad, I will patiently wait till you are ready.
I'm moving and what I will miss most isn't the location, or the people.
your feet will be cut leading you to the tomb you all built.
This is why it's easier to cuddle up with my iPad.
To the deplorable, lost and superficial one.
This is how the three of you have shaped me.
Anxiety can be killed in two ways, a controlled or uncontrolled.
This is to the one who always gives more.
Someone who see's through the external pain, is the one you want to keep.
Last night may not have meant as much to you, and that's okay.
it's almost as if you don't believe what your feeling, you make it a dream.
Today I got my second tattoo, and I will probably offend folks for the rest of my days.
Separate your life into fragments and you will see why we might call them chapters.
All I want to do is to feel, but I guess we can just get high by the beach.
Perhaps this will be more although the easiest lie is just to leave it to God.
You're not doing it wrong, no one is doing it wrong.
The ultimate sacrifice. When someone finds out they are hurting you and they let you go, it means they care.
I just got off the phone with my best friend whom I met on Grindr, yes Grindr. It has other uses.
Good morning, LA Pride Parade!
