I was listening to Barack Obama’s Dreams from My Father again today, and I started to realize how all of his values have been shaped.The messages of his campaign are quite similar to the life lessons he wrote about throughout that memoir; his beliefs as contrasted with those of Malcolm X and the ideas imparted […]
I am beautiful. And sexy. And confidant and independent and loving. And a great friend and a potential girlfriend, wife and mother. I love myself. And I need to hear it.This week has been an absolute self-esteem crusher. We aren’t even at the pinnacle point, and yet I am feeling battered and cast to the […]
Hi! I am really tired today so… bye!
Today, I got sick.Really sick – I still can’t talk without sounding like a golem or some other fantastical creature that eludes my recollection at the moment.

Forever. Either side? It will displease.These wheezing wedding words were thrown,Upon the ground where no man’s trail,Would seize upon this […]
