Anyone who follows my writing should know by now that depression has been a struggle of mine for almost 20 years. My issues stem from a horrendous self-image and a perpetual state of stress. Shout out to being a Pisces. Anyway, my issues nowadays are much better. I still have my down periods of worry … Continue reading Suffering Happiness in Silence

A Personal Look at Insecurity
So you love him, but you don't trust him? You'll share your body with him, but you won't let him into your innermost thoughts? You say he's different from the rest, and yet you still compare him to every man who's hurt you? How does that work? I know the first few lines insinuated that it's women … Continue reading A Personal Look at Insecurity
Letting Go of Baggage
The past is the past, right? It can't be changed, though it can be recollected.

Poor Little “Black” Girl (Excerpt)
I consider myself a mutt. That is not the most politically correct of terms, but it gets my point across. I'm black and Puerto Rican, yet I do not look like either. I look like an “other.” Because of my long, blackish hair and sienna skin tone with slight olive hue, many people think I … Continue reading Poor Little “Black” Girl (Excerpt)
So Disrespectful
I like to think of myself as a very optimistic person with a pleasant countenance--most days, anyway--and the ability to give second chances. However, for one unlucky lady today, those second chances became extinct.Do not pass "Go." Do not collect 200 dollars. The idea of respect is not difficult to comprehend, but for some reason it … Continue reading So Disrespectful
