Society Needs Suicide Watch
Society’s Expectations What In The World???? We are all walking around with an atomically toxic claim of self-worth. Many of our identities are linked to a society that barely meets healthy social expectations and intrinsically withholds the truth of our perceptive virtue. Socialism has become the number one cause of low self-esteem, fear, murder, and selfishness, according to my outlook on life, and has increased drastically since the start of social media. Women and men, transgender or whomever you identify with, have seemingly suffered through the applicable trial and error of the American system or America's philosophical Social Contract Theory that has no answers to the paradigms of our sociologically constructed mindsets.

Single Mothers
Dear Single Mothers, With every desire for our children to be happy, a bitter baby father uses blasphemy. We take so much and deal with the most challenging times. At the same time, they seem to get off scot-free, barely giving a dime. I think it's unfair that we get treated like prostitutes through the system; child support is scarcely enough to cover the cost of tissue, yet let society tell it we picked them. I think the double standards come around as a more personal issue.

Dear Love
Dear Love, Hello is the greeting, and I am so tired of our informal meeting. It’s like I notice that you keep leaving me. We are now faced with these abandoned cries. I keep listening to your foretold lies, and you keep me thoughtless in my malicious mind. Your touch is oh so craving; your actions are just misbehaving. The secrets you make me keep, the encompassing of the decomposing times of random meets, the secretions you make me leak, but the tears you make me weep, I cannot phantom the ghosting that causes the haunting when you leave. The heart you make so weak makes you easier to seek. The brokenness and did I mention the depressive mind traps of my mental state? The grieving of this loss, the not knowing the cost, the social manipulation of a love that’s always bought. I give, and you take, you leave and I break. I sense the one-sided affair of this relationship, so I hate. I enjoy the tripping, the argumentative encroachment of your sexually harassed agenda. Always loving just my inner, entitled to the feeling, you give me nothing in return besides the crying on my pillows. You keep cheating me out of you. I cannot enjoy our youth; they say it’s better to love you while I’m young because I will hate to know the lustful truths. Darling, why do you hate me? You’re always out to replace me; I give you the kind of love that you never want to take from me. You keep robbing me of myself, beloved; you’re just bad for my health; your desires I cannot speak of because of my language of love, so it’s shelved, waiting on someone next. So goodbye sent in text, but the images I cannot forget. I still scroll through your pictures and remember you in my bed, but I try not to regress. I still fight the fight of one day, noticing that you haven’t left. The seduction of your time, the poetry in my lines, the greatest love of all comes from seeking the divine, yet you still have left me open, romanticized, and hopeless. Crying tears of resentment, but you will never notice it because I keep my options open.

The Guns and the Young
The Guns and The Youngins: What is Next for America Mass shootings have been a trending topic since the start of 2023. Every day since January 1, 2023, there has been some altercation or a group shooting resulting in three or more deaths. To date, 163 mass shootings have taken place, and the majority of these shootings involve children and teens. Rather than enjoy themselves at a house party or hang out with their peers at school, children seem to have joined the faces of the “me too” movement. Many of them are probably wondering if they will be next or when. Sadly, America’s children suffer the consequences of the ineffective gun laws propagated to society. Rules that are seemingly being swept underneath the rug and masked with other sociological, systemic, or racial injustices.

Woke In America
In America today, everyone has jumped on this train of woke. I mean, everywhere you look, you see kneeling, the singling out of discrimination, and public humiliation of racist acts; they even have names for racial ranters such as Karren's and Tom's. There is body cam footage of police brutality and untrained social media investigators. Who always seem to have the wrong answer to the right situations. I have even witnessed organized destruction in the form of defunding the police department or burning down buildings paid for with our tax dollars to prove a point that has yet to be established. After the killing of Mike Brown Jr. and forming of the group Black Lives Matter, many Americans, seemingly black Americans, have increased their knowledge about racial injustices that are causing destructive generational bondage. This bondage has only been formed on the acquisitional grounds of modern slavery or, as some would put it, the new Jim Crow. Many instances of oppression have long existed since before the Great Migration in 1910. I mean, we have issues dating back beyond the Mather family. We also have problems where whites became enslaved by blacks, but many only know the surface of their family history of oppression and not others and refuse to rebuttal the facts. Many will not understand or believe that slavery started before the 17th and 18th centuries; it began in the mid-1400s, and if we want to be honest, it started in Ancient times.

What In The Transformation Is Happening?!
What in the Transformation is Happening?! The Church has failed us once again! The place where we should be seemingly held accountable, responsible, and honest about our darkest desires, has weakened the body of Christ, to no avail for truth or dignity. Now, I know we all know greatness when we see it, and have witnessed many transform their lives to climb the ladder of such heights. There is no difference in the route our leaders, pastors, politicians, and musicians, many may follow on a daily basis take to reach the top. As many of you know, Easter Sunday, was this past Sunday, and some of you may have attended church, or watched sermons on television all across America, just so you can hear your favorite parable of the risen King be told. Many may have witnessed their pastors speak with a due diligence from his/her thorough thought provocative take on the will of God, enlightening your belief system with their sin deflecting lies, from the same pulpit that should be casting out demons, instead of inviting them in. Words get reworded to sound as if these Pharisees, are encouraging you for true discipleship, God, wants us to follow and has called us for. Yeah, they’re calling you to the discipleship of the modern world, to fit in to the factorization of man, without the repentance of your sins. Sins that ate being found and formulated through the disgust of doctrinized, organizational sermons that are on scriptural biased read mechanically so that you may understand them fleshly instead of spiritually.

The Problem was Me
The Attic or the Addict At the age of 25, I enlisted on a journey called self healing and self love through the truth of God’s love. I am determined to fulfill that journey before my 40th birthday. I began this journey blinded. So guilty, and so ashamed, but angry and blindly angry. I was angry at so many things, it wasn’t until one day I sat inside my thoughts and realized that my pain comes from the addiction of acceptance. While on this journey, I found some things about me, that didn’t sit well with where I was going. One of the things I disliked about myself, was the clutter of clusters piled in the corner of my life. I had mommy issues, abandonment issues, self esteem issues, and most of all co dependent issues and I kept trying to fight the evils stacked against me outside of the will of God, but by trying to prove I was okay. I was a single parent, to by this time four children. I had not experienced marriage, but I had done wifey things for men who devalued my worth. I allowed self insecurities to create the imagery of expressions. My feelings were often rejected a lot, since childhood to explain the accuracy of design , which caused me to suppress and utilize anger as a means for the unjustified pain and agony. I had retreated to make these things my norm until I realized who I was, until I found my identity in Jesus Christ. I appreciated things that I should have never tolerated and tolerated people who never gave me any appreciation. I don’t even believe I gave myself anything, especially the things I sought out of others, which is why lowering my standards became the subtle fruit that bread forth to my frustration. I parented out of frustration, drank out of frustrations, held friendships and sexual partners out of frustrations, never thinking once about the cause and effect of unhealthy intentions sprinting forth my desires and motives for light. I trauma bonded myself right into the realm of spiritual reality of a spiritual death. The devil had to become a crippled by the faith and hope that I was clinging on to. I had to come out of agreement with the combustion of lies, hurt, and the stronghold of sin.

Laws of Self Help
This post is a snippet of my copyrighted manuscript, “Laws of Self to Self Love”. I know that there are millions of people around the world, struggling with the acts of identity, boundaries, and healthy relationship choices. This guide that acts and serves as a guide to my daily choosing, is and will be published to assist many on their journey in self-love. I started writing this guide in the midst of an argument with a guy who was emotionally abusive. I thought to myself how can I prevent this from happening. It was revealed to innerstand myself, through my strength of writing to put my solution to abuse in a book, dedicating it to becoming the best version of myself. This book helps me, even while writing I find it to be my therapy outside of therapy, and I hope and pray that it is just as therapeutic to others.

Phenomenal Me
I am a woman above all, and never anything less. I am a woman who is inspired by the works of other women to do my best. I am a woman not because the size of my breast, but because of the courage, I choose to attest that’s aligned in my chest. I am a woman of substance and of style.
