Spending $16 & change to get treated like trash was not on my BINGO card for last night. But? I was so fucking mad that I wrote for a collective three hours between then & now. The most I've written all month. And it's good. ♥️ But that's not the point of this post. What I want to express is this: Make your frustration worth something & never take being treated like shit. Standing up for yourself is hard—especially if you present as female. Folks expect you to be docile. Complacent. To just accept bad behavior. They especially expect this from me because I'm polite as shit. Pleasant as fuck. Etc. But I will not stand to be talked down to, disrespected, or gaslit by fucking ANYONE. EVER. Never the fuck again. Do I still deserve an apology I'll never get? Yup. But the person who treated me like shit and then had the audacity to look me in the eye and say, "I'm not being rude," is never gonna do that. However, I never have to walk into that restaurant again, & I've got a nice, fresh, juicy piece of fiction on my hands. Call it a win. 🖤

Emotional BS is My Speciality I'd love to have a reason for being so goddamn motherfucking slow with my releases. And I suppose I do, but it doesn't ring valid to my own ears. I caught COVID during a reading at a library & my life entirely derailed for a year. I'm lucky enough to not yet sick often, but when I do? Recovery is incredibly slow. My liver doesn't function well. My brain occasionally gets a little wonky (medical term) along with it. And I was barely keeping it together. But I did. I'm still here. Still writing. Still working. It's gotta count for something. And Four Letter Words: Act II will be out by the end of August aka my 39th birthday. 🎉 XOXO, Haley BCU (& Elwood) P.S. Thanks your reading/patience/presence. Sincerely. 🖤
1627 Words, 8802 Characters, 128 Sentences "How fucking dare you?" "Pretty easily, it seems." I shoved him. Pretty easily, it seemed. Fury will do that to ya. "How fucking dare you tell me how I feel? Or how I should waste my time? You have zero say in my world since you decided to make your illustrious exit from it. The goddamn audacity of you..." I marveled quietly for a beat, but he saw how on the edge I was. It was on Dean to reel me back or push me off. I put my fate in his hands willingly. I was sick of being in control of shit. I almost crossed my fingers that he would meet my rage. Give me something to fight about. But he hit me with open arms, compassion, and an apology. "I'm sorry. I'm just the same asshole who tried to drown you." "One of the least painful ways to go. So say the living." "The living don't know shit." "Amen." "But neither do the dead."
