Toxic Love
I stood outside the open window on a warm summer evening listening to the music play. My neighbors who loved to drink and play music till all hours of the night had become a familiar sound to me. The humming and singing, along with the guitar and keyboard filtered through the trailer park. I was […]
Come Into the Light
I spent a long time in the dark. Even after I began to see the light, I still felt more comfortable hiding in the dark. In the dark, you’re not in the spotlight. If you still want to do the sinful things that your evil little heart desires you can. No judgment because you have […]
Hormones OR Mental Illness
Watching It All Slip Through My Fingers The year hasn’t started off exactly as I hoped it would. I consider myself a pretty self-driven, goal-oriented person but so far, I’ve seriously been lacking. I had all these ideas and dreams of jumping right in with both feet as soon as the clock struck midnight launching […]
I Got Married
I got married over the weekend! It was a tiny quick little ceremony at my pastor’s house.No-fuss!That’s how we preferred it.

Strength Comes In Small Packages
My Aunt Every once in awhile, if we are lucky, we get to encounter someone in this life that defies the odds and is the definition of strength and bravery. Not only has this person been a great source of inspiration for me, but she has also genuinely guided me through some of the hardest […]
The Day I Let God Work It Out
I was petrified of being put to sleep. Other than 2 cesarean sections in which I was awake, I had made it 37 years without having anything with my body go wrong to where I needed surgery. Then I hit a roadblock and there was no getting out of this one. A reoccurring cyst that […]
