When I was 16, one of my best friends invited me to sail from Puerto Rico to the US Virgin Islands with her and her dad over spring break. I was taking AP European History that year, and spring break was supposedly when I was meant to be buckling down and studying for the exam. But I was like... I'm sorry, did you just say SAILBOAT?! Obviously, I said yes to this once in a lifetime trip.

My family held an entire meeting just to pressure me into forgetting about a $2,000 debt. Yes, you read that correctly. When I walked into the room and saw everyone sitting there, I assumed something serious had happened. Instead, the meeting was about me. Last year, my cousin asked to borrow $2,000 because he was going through a difficult time. He promised to repay everything by an agreed date and repeatedly assured me I could trust him. I believed him.

Just me. The boat. The stars. The ocean. And absolutely nothing else in sight. I still remember that moment like it happened yesterday. And that was only the beginning... Ler me know if I should share the rest tomorrow! Thank you for reading. ⛵️🩵🌊

The crossing took most of the night, and while the captain and the other boy slept, I took my turn keeping watch. I was 17 years old, drifting somewhere between Miami and the Bahamas, listening to Portishead's Dummy on my discman. I remember looking out at the ocean and realizing that we were just a tiny speck of light floating through this enormous, deep blackness.

Last week I traveled to my daughter's house to dog sit for her. Elvis was so excited to have me there. The first picture was when I first got there. The last 2 photos his mom sent me from Sunday and again today, sad because Oma went home. Sad tax below...

My daughter sent me her report card thinking she was about to get showered with congratulations… The first thing my eyes locked onto was that B on her exam. A B?!?!?! Baby, are you struggling in silence? Do we need to find you a tutor? Should I call an emergency parent-teacher conference? Is it stress? 🤷🏾‍♂️ She talking about, “Dad, I still made all A’s…” Yeah… then what’s this lil’ suspicious letter doing in my house? Am I overreacting if I start interviewing tutors tonight?

For every young man who is about to marry. Take advice from an old married guy. When you move in together, you will discover that she has a box filled with buttons and fabric. There will be spools of thread. In this box will be the best scissors you have ever seen. You didn’t even know that scissors like these existed. She will never use them. Now listen very closely: If is very important that you never touch these scissors. They are not yours. You may look. Then back away.

I stained my bed sheets during my period. I apologized immediately and started stripping the bed so I could wash everything before it set in. Instead of asking if I was okay or helping me clean it up, my boyfriend got angry. He said I should've "been more careful" and kept going on about how expensive the sheets were. I was already embarrassed. His reaction made me feel ashamed over something I couldn't control. That was the moment I realized accidents reveal a lot about a person's character.
