You’ve Given Up…
We used to stay up all night talking about anything and everything,Dreams, wishes, fears and plans,The air filled with promise, anticipation and most of all…loveWe promised to love, support and never turn our backs,Mutual respect and admiration,Decisions deeply rooted in love and wanting us to WIN as a collective,Feelings of rejection and hurt pride,But time […]

Navigating My Triggers
I am a runner. Nope, not the running shoes, heavy breathing and sweaty running runner. The I-no-longer-feel-happy-safe-settled-or-off running from relationships like a track and field athlete. Being home quarantined allows you time to do a lot of thinking. Some of that thinking may not be so good, but ultimately it allows you to take stock […]

Teenage Love
It’s hard to take a step back, when you’re seeing yourself through everyone’s eyes. The everlasting couple, never separating one without the other, The odd standard of longevity when in fact things weren’t what they seemed, They ooh and ahh over your love story, yet you can’t quite seem to understand what the rom com […]

Void
Vacant,Nothing fills the space you left,I carry you in my memories, Even though you’re still very much here,Hollow,Is how I am left after you,Wondering how I got it so wrong,Trying to understand the initial appeal,Empty,With so many whirling thoughts,Spinning, spiraling in my mind,Wondering how to feel, how to think,What to feel and what to think,Yet, […]

Out Of Sync
Broken promises and missed opportunities. We spent our time feeling things and never speaking their truth. Too scared to bring life to them, Instead they began to grow fruit and strength, Knocking us both out of kilter. Orbiting but never in the same atmosphere. Speaking, but never really hearing. Feeling, but never sharing. Bottled up […]

I thought you would be my one and only. Endless memories and stories to share. I thought I would always have you. Youth, exuberance and […]

Why I Am No Longer Scared Of Starting Over
Change, they say is inevitable. People change, the seasons change, time is always changing…but why is it so hard to take the leap and make a massive change in our lives? We’re unhappy about things, but we’d much rather complain, but do nothing about it. Then there’s the debilitating fear of the unknown, of having […]

Addressing The Angry Black Girl In Me
Outspoken. Yes. Passionate. Yes. Opinionated. 100%. Sensitive. That too. Negative? I’ve been called worse. Like most people, I’ll fully admit to being complicated and multifaceted. As much as I can be a social butterfly, I tend to keep new people at a distance and not let them know the true me- call it protectionism. I […]

What’s The Emotional Toll of Friendship Breakups?
Life happens and through all its happenings; we forge, feed and support a variety of relationships, from family members, to co-workers to friendships. While there are the lucky people out there who have managed to maintain friendships that have spanned (in some capacity or not) 20+ years, this week’s blog post is sharing about the […]

Option
I’ve realized I am an option to you, Something to easily push and pull away, When the wind changes and doesn’t suit, You retreat and put me on mute Someone to tease and play around with, as a temporary high, You keep me sweet, in order to have an option on a lonely night, With […]
