For the longest time, I was engaged in a non-existent, imaginary, but real relationship.  What the *ell is that, I am sure that you ask.  Well, that is a relationship that only exist when it benefits one of the parties involved (and that never meant me).  But, because I cared so much and was so connected to this person (please note the sarcasm), I would drop whatever I was doing to make his world brighter.  Read more...

it used to be so hard to think about my life without you.  i even shed a tear at the thought…but then one day…you just didn’t matter anymore. don’t you remember how much you loved him/her, and how you always thought that it would be this way.  our kisses were phenomenal, when we touched it was magical, when we laughed–it hurt.  Read more...

Relationship dating for the long haul requires a level of maturity where one is ready to accept responsibility. Many couples that are very suited to each other often back out of a relationship because of simple issues that could have been addressed at a moment when they were both prepared to face it.  Read more...

Let’s just say that Chrisette inspired me.

I have to admit it, I have been wasting my time…and maybe he would say the same thing.

Have you ever met someone that you’d never–not in a million years–think that you would click–let alone that they would be someone that you’d end up in this weird back and forth relationship? (And I use the term relationship loosely…)  Read more...

You are living your life…

Then it seems as if out  from nowhere…he appears.

Sometimes the old cliché is true, “out of sight, out of mind.”  Yet, with just one glimpse of the past, your thoughts are now consumed by him.  He appears in your dreams…while sleeping and awake.  You were over him, or so you thought; and now you have feelings of confusion surfacing within.  You begin to ask yourself, “What does this mean?  Do I still have feelings for him?  Why is he reaching out to me?  What does he want?”  Read more...

they were never the perfect couple (but who is)…but they stayed together because somewhere in the midst of the chaos they found happiness–if only for a moment.

however, imperfect has escalated into unacceptable, as the bickering and heated debates have now transformed themselves into violent outbursts and spiteful behavior.  Read more...

I started not to write this… I feel like a broken record, with this unrequited love thing and all…

Here we stand in a crowded room… we arrived separately, not knowing that the other would be here.  Our eyes meet from across the room… I quickly look away.  I feel uncomfortable in your presence, sensing my awkwardness you try to make me feel at ease.

On day all ‘dem bags, gon get in your way ~ Erykah Badu

Baggage…we are constantly being told to let go of it…do not bring items from your last trip along on your next journey.

However, sometimes it is necessary to claim your baggage and take it with you on your next stop in life.

We all have baggage…

Some good…some bad…

Some rugged and worn…some as strong as Samsonite.  Read more...
