All you need is Love, and Love is all you need.
I Miss You
I miss you. I really do, but I don’t mean missing the intimacy, I miss you for you everything that made you so entrancing. I miss your humor, how you always had a quip or a one liner to make me laugh. But even then I loved watching you make everyone else laugh. Sure I always played it off as embarrassing, but you had such a knack of putting smiles on faces. I remember rolling my eyes harder than before when you would catch me in a joke or a pun.

Dear Mom
Dear Mom, Sometimes, when I think of you, I imagine you sitting sweetly in Heaven, asking me if there are any fun stories to tell. I imagine you particularly excited about the boys I have met. I imagine myself responding no, nothing yet, nothing worth telling you about. Just things my heart wants to be real, but my Spirit knows are not.

For an Indiana Girl
(Just a short preamble. The vast majority of this site is populated with young people with time to spare. That's good. I don't have as much time to spare, but I do have a few years in my savings account, and I want to spend some of it honoring people who have come through my life. Sherry is the first of a series I am going to do. Maybe reading this will give you an appreciation of the moments you are in and it will help you hold them a little closer knowing that one day they will be a memory.)

Lost at Sea
Occasionally Dorothy would sit in her backyard around the area where her husband would have been buried. She would stare into the distance reminiscing about the memories her and her husband, John, shared. She couldn't believe it had been two years since he passed away, yet it felt like it was just yesterday. After his passing, she was in a great deal of pain. The pain was like an arrow slowly piercing her heart. Her life had just been turned upside down, nothing would ever be the same again. She would wake up every morning to set the table for two, but had to remember he was no longer there.

I Am Pro Black and in Love with a White Man
I'll be the first to admit that I didn't always love my blackness. It was a process that took me a lot of time. I had to realize that I could love my dark skin and my kinky hair and everything else about myself even if that was an unpopular opinion.

Conversations With Ka Part 3
I have no idea how Oh had gotten a gun months before. Technically gun ownership is illegal for civilians in Thailand; they even blur them out on Thai television dramas. Oh had had an old rifle years before that he’d made himself out of piping, and a few of his friends had laughably ancient looking firearms he was always fascinated by. This gun he’d probably bought in June, when my husband was maxing out his credit cards buying gold and selling it back before they shut his borrowing down entirely. I couldn’t pay the card bill and was positive he wasn’t going to either.

Adult Relationships —What Is Your Love Language?
Take a moment to think back to your childhood. What's the first memory or thought that comes to mind? Is it happy or sad? Now take another moment to think about the relationship you had with your parents. In your recollection were they emotionally available? Did they have time for you to sit and chat about the most mundane things or were they always preoccupied with the demands of survival? Now when you get a moment speak to your parents about what their life was like when you were between the ages of zero to five years old. Were you in a loving environment? Did you maybe grow up in a single-parent home? All these things have a massive impact on the way that you now interact as an adult within your friendships and relationships.

One More Chance to Love You
The saying, “Fool me once, shame on you; fool me twice, shame on me” has always stood true in my mind, especially when it comes to relationships. When you’re dealing with love, it’s easy to let things slide and quickly forgive and forget. But how do you know when you should give your partner a second chance, or when it’s time to officially call it quits? The tricky part is that it all depends. It depends on your situation, relationship dynamics, and a million other factors that are unique to only you.

Eight Years Apart (Pt. 2)
We left off where I gave him a hug. Did you think that would be the ending of this lovely story. Once I hugged him tight, he hugged me tighter than anyone has before. This lasted for a few minutes. At this moment, another boy stepped into my life. Let’s not get to that point right now. We will say his name is Andrew. He wanted to challenge me in who’s stronger. I accepted his challenge and we started pushing each other to the ground, and whoever falls to the ground first, loses. Luckily, I didn’t fall to the ground. Of course he did. Maybe he was playing soft just to see me happy that I won over him, but that didn’t matter to me. I was having a great time with him, but then, someone showed up...
