One Year Later…Learning To Live Without My Father

29 November, 20180

I struggled getting out the bed this morning. I had to fight myself just brush my teeth. But I did it, I got out the house today. Today marks a year that I have been living without my father. If i am being honest, I have been holding it together all year just to unravel and fall apart on this day. I knew I was taking off today. I would do nothing but see my son off to daycare, lay in bed, and wallow in my tears. But a wise man suggested not mourning my father but celebrating him instead. So that's Read more [...]

Sticks and Stones May Break My Bones, but Words Can Destroy

24 February, 20170

It's not often that I say my Parents "Taught" me something that was wrong. For the most part, if anything, my parents definitely taught me the right way to live, they just might have not SHOWN me the correct way all the time. As I was eating lunch I saw a group of kids playing. The way they were speaking to each other was painful. They were so young and yet they spewed out so much negativity and hatred for each other. I thought to myself, "Some of these words will have a lasting effect on some of Read more [...]

Have You Ever Been Stolen?

2 June, 20161

Have a thief ever came and took you? Have you ever been minding your own business and all of a sudden you look up and you were gone? You are probably thinking to yourself of course not. That would imply you being kidnapped. How can you get kidnapped as a fully comprehensive adult? Well it happens everyday, people get stolen by multiple things, lust, by infatuation, by greed, but most of all by love. You meet a person right after climbing yourself out of a vulnerable stage in life. You have learned Read more [...]

The Messy Girl Chronicles: Isabel Dandridge

5 April, 20160

I am probably the biggest mess you will ever meet. A true survivor ever since I could remember, but a lover of pain, lusting after torture. I am my biggest mistake. A tortured soul. How do you run from yourself? To tell you the truth, I don't even know how I got here. How did I become this woman? Was it my childhood? Was it my parents? Or is it just the way my chromosomes match up? Why do I love so hard? Why do I feel peoples pain? Why is my empathy on a level that I don't find often in others? I Read more [...]

Good Guys Always Finish Last

19 February, 20160

I trusted someone with all my heart once. It was the best feeling of my life. Do you know what it feels like to believe in someone or something so much that your mind never questions, never hesitates, never doubts? It's security. Then that trust was broken, smashed like glass hitting cement, like an iceberg hitting the Titanic; obliterated by one act of disloyalty. Sure on the surface the wound looks like it would heal, but internally the damage is still having an effect. They say when you boil something Read more [...]

Today I Write

23 January, 20160

Today I Write. Today I write for the tortured soul. Today I write for the wife whose husband keeps cheating on her and she doesn't know why. I write for the loyal girlfriend who has the disrespectful, non-affectionate boyfriend. I write for the mother who gives her all to her ain't sh** kids. I write for the child that cries for it's mom or dad. Today I write. I write for the people who constantly endure the selfishness of others. I write for the lovers whose hearts are so big they Read more [...]

Save The Humans

19 December, 20150

By Guest Blogger: Jai Green Have you ever wondered what your purpose is in life? Not humans as a whole, but your individual purpose? I think about the person I am, my heart and how big it is, my ability to yield, my love for the human race, and I drop my head in tears. In high school, as a freshman, while everyone was screaming save the Whales, I had a folder that had "save the humans" centered on it. I have always felt this way. Humans are the most intricate animate objects on earth, and good Read more [...]

Poetry on a Gloomy Saturday

12 December, 20152

Edgar Allan Poe has always been my favorite poet & one of my favorite writers. His darkness mirrored my own, his pain danced with my emotions. The way he loved held conversations with my heart. His work embodied all four literary conflicts, and sometimes all four were found in one piece: Man VS. Man, Man VS. Society, Man VS. Nature, and of course Man VS. Self. I hadn't written poetry in a while. Today my chest felt like it was going to explode if I didn't release some of these thoughts. So Read more [...]
