We were all dumb enough to think we’d end up with our first love once.
Reflection
As I have found myself moving solidly into grown womanhood, I have been doing quite a bit of self reflection lately. It's actually been pretty good for me. I have been able to settle and rectify alot of things in my mind, put alot of old issues to rest, and make some really good ground … Continue reading Reflection
Gravity
I avoid it like the plague. It is my way. Our way, really.And yet somehow, some way, like gravity, we get pulled together. Objectively I can say that this universal pull is weighted evenly between the both of us. We are intertwined explicitly, probably forever.Poetic shit like that.Except our shit is less Love Jones and … Continue reading Gravity
Sideline Hoe
I think I always knew there was someone else. Over the years, there were always whispers, hardly ever screams, never full out roars of there being someone else. But I think I always knew.

The Stupid Girl’s Guide to Getting Over an Ex: An Easy 4 Year, 173 Step Process PART 1
My friend Olu posted this poem about me on his blog called "The Moral of the Story is..." . It's acutely painful. Why? Because it's entirely accurate. A lot of facts with a little bit of fiction thrown in. I'll let you decide which is which. But for anyone who has ever asked me how … Continue reading The Stupid Girl’s Guide to Getting Over an Ex: An Easy 4 Year, 173 Step Process PART 1
First and Last?
I’m sitting here listening to a little bit of Nikka Costa. For those of you unfamiliar with her, she's simply brilliant. Anyway I was flipping aimlessly through the channels and I was struck by something Britney Spears said and in its simplicity it was actually profound. (Yes I was inspired by something Britney Spears said.) … Continue reading First and Last?
Ready
There comes a time in every one's life when they must reevaluate. When they must change, rearrange and repair all the broken things in their life. I am at that point. It is not the change that is painful but rather the transition. There was a time when I was a different person. A kinder person, … Continue reading Ready
