#Confession
Maybe I shouldn’t be so hard on you. So hard on myself. So hard on us. All I can ask is for people to try. There comes a point when “trying” gets old though. I guess when the trying stops I should be worried.

Eye for an Eye, Note for a Note.
Part of this has drawn attention to the fact that you aren’t really here.
This was supposed to make me happy, and for a moment it served it’s purpose. But you’re right — you are only here in spirit. Your presence is elsewhere.
They have a saying, you know: “To be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord.” I mean, where your spirit resides is the most...

Lately I’ve been learning not to talk so much to people & talk more to God…
Empathy.
Sadly enough, empathy is something that I have just recently stumbled upon. Drunk on the possibility of another person’s mind state, things tend to make a little more sense as to why those associated with them make the decisions they do. It’s one thing to be sympathetic — to go “awww…”, give them a minute or two of your thoughts and move on with your day. …But...
Bougie Black Girl?
This is the funniest thing I’ve read all day….
“Does he own a passport?”
If you’re ever in doubt as to whether a black girl is truly bougie, ask her if she’d date a guy who didn’t own a passport. If she says something normal like “I guess. I mean, I don’t see why not.” she’s probably not. But, if she recoils in fear, breaks out in hives, and starts running in circles while crying and...

Reminder #56409493358
Every time I come home for long periods of time, my family manages to somehow remind me of why I left. They manage to ruin my jovial mood for the holiday season, the fun of once again being a big sister, and the hibernation I enter after a long semester. It never fails. Somehow, some way, they manage to sneak in not so subtle reminders of why I not only went out of state, but 660 miles away to...
Maybe I'm Really Just a Toddler.
Three & 4 year olds do this. They cry when the people they want to be around, aren’t. Well maybe I’m just 2-going-on-3 at heart because honestly my heart knows no difference.
As much as I hate to admit it, I need him. I neeeeed him. He’s the only person who knows what to say to make me feel better when I just want to sink into a hole and vanish. (I think. Lol. Sometimes he...

My Ridiculous Horoscope of the Day
Leo: Thursday, December 1, 2011 – You have a number of loose ends to tie up now, yet you could work yourself into an anxious state by trying to beat an arbitrary deadline. Your struggles might indicate there’s a more complex set of issues that will take longer to process. Although you could become obsessed by your unrelenting drive, it’s perfectly acceptable to leave some chores...

WatchAny man that can do this to a Sadé track has my vote! …and possibly the key to my heart. (lol)

When I was led to you, I knew you were the one for me.
I swear the whole world could feel my heart beat” =]

Nina: You always want what you want, when you want it. Why is everything always so urgent with you?
Darius: Let me tell you somethin'. This here, right now, at this very moment, is all that matters to me. I love you. That's urgent like a motherfucker.

adventuresinatoybox:
Now let me just start off by saying this: I’m sure that you can never be sure that you’re sure. Surely, being sure would seem like it’d be a sure thing to occur in one’s lifetime eventually. But I’m not so sure. I sure would like to be though. Regardless, I feel like there has to be a sure-fire way, you still probably couldn’t be 100% sure that you were sure even if you were...
You love me and I love you. Your heart hurts & mine does too, and it’s just words but they cut deep. It’s our world, it’s just us two.
Thanks to Rudy and Rasheed, I want to do an “honest poem” and a series. But because I’m no Rasheed Copeland, I’ll just stick to 10. (lol)
Expect 1/10 tonight!
