It’s Thanksgiving in three days, the time we express gratitude for the things we have. But really, how thankful are we when we say we are? I think being grateful to be alive has never been more meaningful than it has these past two years. For a lot of us — who experienced it, had someone…
And so much more! Don’t let fiction influence your reality. Remove everyone’s eyes from you. Forget about everyone’s views of the “ideal” breasts and you’ll be alone in the room with the only critic that matters: yourself. It’s important that you understand that you’re not a walking magazine cutout. You’re the real deal, the full…
Some people love so hard the first time they don’t know how to do it twice. Some people are hard on themselves but soft on whom don’t treat them right. Some people laugh when they mean to cry. Some people go to church to seem nice when they’re rotten inside. Some people can’t let go…
It’s the 3AM thoughts that leave a lump in your throat, eyes that won’t shut, habits can’t adjust a brain that ignores you’re already f**ked Because life keeps giving you more than you can any longer handle, like scrambled foreign words you can’t even begin to unscramble The recurring mind-wandering put your will power to…
I’m sitting here going between my keyboard and my turmeric tea, wondering where to begin. Sip. Type. Backspace. Sip. Type.

I don’t need another reason to remember why I hide. I don’t need another reason to remind me why I chose this single life; that I’ve been running all this time. I don’t need another reason to question my choice or regret the detours I take when I hear your voice. I don’t need another…
And by the time doubts and sadness came back out, you had your groove back. It’s all about the spirits you pour in it. Here’s the thing, I’m an emotional star. My light is bright and bright it shines, even when enfolded in doubts. It’s a contradiction how I find solace in solitude. Or so…
I ask myself today what’s changed? Heart beating with the same ache, People I’ve loved so long can’t reciprocate, And I settled for crumbs they call affection Given all my attention, dealt with their rejection; I understand it was f—ked up, in retrospection. Today I tried to numb the pain again, day by day, But…
One good thing about trends is that, eventually, they fade. Why is it a good thing? Some trends are so terrible that they need to make their way out as fast as they made their way in. I have respect for people who saw an opportunity in a movement and made a living out of…
I won’t list specific situations, but many times in the past I acted in a selfish ways towards others. I’ve done things without thinking about their feelings or the consequences my actions could bring. Subconsciously or not, though I’ve never been the kind to directly demand that all eyes be on me, I’ve occasionally made…
Today’s blog is not a poem or a story. It’s not a complaint nor is it a book promo; it’s just…some words of hope. With all that is always going on in the world and all the negativity and darkness that circulate on social networks minute by minute, it’s always nice to see a glimpse…
