Leave It In The Past
For better or worse, I have always been a hopeless romantic and that's landed me in a few relationships that I was better off leaving alone. I have a propensity to fall in love with potential. As long as I could see it in you, we could make something happen. At least, that's what I thought most of the time. In 2017, I met a really charming, tattoo laden bad boy. I thought that I could be the one to change his nefarious ways. I was naive, entirely far too naive to see what I was getting into. I'll save the gritty details because it requires a trigger warning and all that, but needless to say it became abusive very fast. This is not to say that all charming, tattoo laden men are abusive. This olne one just happened to be. I am someone who was always been a music lover, I love to sing - as off key as i may be, I'm always imagining myself in a music video - funnily enough, I'm singing while typing right now. I'm listening to the playlist I curated for this contest. This is where it comes full circle. Being that I'm a music head, music was where I found solace in this abusive relationship. He lived on the 9th floor and I had a lovely view of Jamaica, Queens. As somber as it sounds now, I'd often go on the balcony, put on Spotless Mind by Jhene Aiko and cry my little brown heart out. I could see myself in a different timeline. I wasn't happy where I was but I couldn't find a way out. Until I did.

Date Questions to Escape the Friend Zone
"Getting a date is the easy part," Sam moaned. I wasn't surprised. With his striking blue eyes and chiseled jaw packaged into 6 feet of pure muscle, I could definitely see dates coming easily to him. It also helped that Sam was outgoing, hilarious, and kind.

A dream
chapter 1 “Y’a I’ll drive her” That’s what I got for not having a car yet. I was so close to finally saving up to buy my own vehicle. But for now, I was stuck getting rides from friends, family or any co-worker that was willing to drop me off. My family was over at the Stevenson’s having yet another dinner together. I didn’t mind the free food but hell, it was boring. We would always come together, our two families and have these huge family dinners. It would be a great time but there was no one my age I could hang out with. Chris their eldest son was best friends with my older brother Aaron. They had known each other since they were babies and spent most of their time gaming together. The Stevenson’s were a lovely couple, and they did have a younger daughter. But they had conveniently decided to try for her 15 years after I came along. Sara was cute but she was still learning her alphabet, which meant I had no one but myself to hang out with. Well that’s a lie, I sometimes hung out with the boys, but I didn’t want to play games 24/7. So I sat around trying to get the time to pass or I listened in on what the parents were talking about. Tonight, the moms were discussing what dish went best with spaghetti. Meanwhile the dads were sitting down in the living room talking work. Dad was excited about a new promotion around the corner. Hopefully it would happen soon, he had been working so hard these past couple of years, he deserved it. I was sitting at the counter and scrolling through my phone when finally, dinner was announced ready. Everyone came out from where they were and piled food on their plates. I ran quickly to the washroom to wash my hands before digging in. I looked at myself in the mirror to check my makeup, making sure it was still perfect. Black eye-liner surrounded my blue/green eyes and a shiny lip-gloss was covering my small but plump lips. I wasn’t trying to impress anyone, but I always put makeup on before going anywhere. That little bit of makeup did everything for me to help boost my confidence. Dinner smelt so good from the bathroom and I rushed back out to get a plate. Our families had eaten together so many times that we always did so buffet style. We all got a plate of food and then you’d go right back to what you were doing. The Stevenson’s were like a second family after all. Dinner finally finished, I pulled my mom aside to ask for a ride back to my place. Knowing my parents would usually spend all evening here, I was bored and just anxious to get back home. I had work in the morning and by no means was planning on staying here all night.

I Didn’t Know he was the One
In 2007 I moved back to Alabama from Virginia for sophomore year at The University of Alabama. I moved in with my best friend from freshman year of college, who moved in one week before me. Apparently when Liz, my best friend, moved in, some guys from the apartment complex helped her. That is when he came into the picture, already present when I moved in a week later.

5 Jesters and 1 King
5 Jesters and One King Let me tell you a story. I consider myself pretty, I think I'm smart so why am I not married and why was I still single 1 year before my 40th birthday. In case you don't know what a Jester is, it’s a professional joker or " a fool" at a medieval court who carries a mock scepter(according to Merriman dictionary)...In other words you carry a scepter like a King but yours is fake!

Blue Violets
The only thing more art-inspiring and enduring than love is it’s opposite, hate. Millions of songs are composed lauding the romance and devotion of lovers over the ages, but close on the heels of dedicated bliss are poems and songs of hate, betrayal and despair.
