    About this ebook

    The ramblings of a drunk twenty-something girl. Join me on my trip through alcoholism and domestic abuse. This book chronicles the second intensely abusive relationship I engaged in shortly after the first. Let's hope it doesn't really come in threes. Complete with some beautiful photos to complement my depressing monologues. This is the first in a two part series chronicling my poor judgment when it comes to love. These are also my initial forays into publishing and I have immensely enjoyed the process. Maybe someone will read this and feel less alone. Maybe someone will read this and have a good laugh.

    Jesse Toban

    I am a budding author playing around with self-publishing on my way to creating some more serious content when I am finished with my degree as a Psychology student at my local university. I have been through two major relationships that were emotionally and physically abusive. These poems were a way for me to frame the intensity of what I was dealing with.

      Being an adult is… Crazy. What are you worried about currently? I’m worried the WGA [Writers Guild of America] will have to strike for longer than is sustainable for individuals. But they will win so I’m really not ‘worried’ at all. If someone could

      Love Letters

      Mar 7, 2022

      MY BELOVED ANGEL, I am nearly mad about you, as much as one can be mad: I cannot bring together two ideas that you do not interpose yourself between them. I can no longer think of nothing but you. In spite of myself, my imagination carries me to you.

      Letters to Mum

      Mar 24, 2021

      Dear Mum, There are still times when I go to call you. It seems inexplicable to me that you actually died. I used to wonder how it would feel, and after 16 years, I’m still not sure. The main thing I want to tell you is that I get it now. I understan

      “If you don’t love yourself, how in the hell you gonna love somebody else?” Fuck knows; I’ll just be alone for the rest of my life; clearly I don’t deserve to have someone love me if I can’t even love myself; I’m probably better on my own; I’ll proba
