On Marriage
No one really tells you about marriage. There's a lot of hype and fuss over the wedding, but the nitty-gritty? Nope. No one tells you that the first blush of romance and dates and getting to know one another, fades; usually after the first year. No one tells you that loving someone is a choice. One that is made day after day after day after day.

So last night I had a self-proclaimed "night-howler" up in the middle of the night for a few hours and didn't get my full amount of sleep, but hey... that is normal around here. I was surprised, however, when no one woke me up at the crack of dawn!

Dear Mother, In the solemn stillness of my thoughts, I reach out through this letter, a vessel for the words that weigh heavily upon my soul. What can I say, Mother? The words 'I love you' from your lips often come shrouded in the aftermath of scolding, their warmth lost in the chill of discipline.

If you’re like me and get all kinds of excited at the mere idea of a road trip, then you know the pure joy that can be had taking the wheel to get to a destination. Virginia’s southeastern corner, known widely as Hampton Roads and more locally as the 757, offers a myriad of starting points in traveling by road. However, the mere point of a road trip doesn’t have to be ending up at a set destination. The road traveled in of itself can be an excellent reason to get out there and see what Virginia has around the next bend.

Summer nights at 545 were usually sweltering, noisy, and buzzing with activity. From the vantage point of our second-floor fire escape, we were always privy to what went on below. Our neighbors, mostly Antilleans, looking to escape the heat of their small, non-airconditioned apartments, would come downstairs as soon as the sun set to sit in what they hoped would be the cool New York City night air and find some respite. I, for one, always marveled at the range of materials they would bring down to sit on. Some would bring a beach chair or two. Others would borrow milk crates from the bodega next door. Still, others would find a spot on the front stoop of our building on 125th Street in West Harlem, often blocking the entrance but graciously moving out of the way as others came in and out. My earliest memory of home is this tenement building and community. I lived there with my family for my first 12 years, and we always called the building by its number - 545.

Parents and guardians are faced with the formidable challenge of guiding their children through a virtual world that offers both profound insights and potential pitfalls. This journey of nurturing virtue amidst the digital landscape requires a delicate balance of fostering curiosity, promoting critical thinking, and navigating the concepts of "perplexity" and "burstiness."
Yannick SimoPublished 8 days ago in FamiliesA Childhood Lost, a Love Denied
My childhood memories are a tapestry woven with loneliness, a stark contrast to the carefree joy most children experience. Simple pleasures like playing in the mud or by the creek resulted in harsh punishments. Toys, meant for exploration and imagination, were kept pristine on display shelves, untouchable.
