    Untiltled Ramblings.

    Romantic Love is never and has never been enough for broken people to find illumination for their path. There is so much more to life to be fixated on the love of one person. Be open to love from everyone in your life and things will be different. Love your friends, love your family, love…

    Here comes Fall

    Fall is one of the most beautiful times of year for me. It harkens the death that becomes life in my second favorite season; Spring. I look forward to the deep changes, the falling leaves that go through a rainbow of color as they fall and start to rot and become one with the soil…

    Daily Prompts – Stand Still

    http://dailypost.wordpress.com/2013/09/24/daily-prompt-stillness/ If time were to stop right now, it would be near perfect. I’m watching http://www.saltybet.com on the computer, Ice Age: Continental Drift and this is one of the rare times that my cat is sprawled across me. If I could tweak this moment, I would move the cat to bed and I would still…

    Daily Prompts: We can be taught

    http://dailypost.wordpress.com/2013/09/21/daily-prompt-greatness/ Without a doubt, the single most influential teacher I’ve had was my HS English Teacher Ms G. She was everything I hoped to be in High School; witty, articulate, intelligent and doing what she loved. Her was a small woman, but her presence and love of teaching in creative ways was so over powering…

    Reading Rut

    So it’s that time of year when I no longer want to read new books, I want to revel in the comfort that I found in titles I love. I used to be sad when this feeling rolled around but now I relish my re-reading of Macbeth, 100 Years of Solitude and everything that Junot…

    Daily Prompts: No fair

    http://dailypost.wordpress.com/2013/09/20/daily-prompt-fair/ The depressing thing about this daily prompt is that there are infinite things to write about like women’s equality issues, the recent increase in gun violence, Bloomberg…etc. I don’t think there will ever be a time when we stop having these kinds of issues until we learn to consider other people. Growing up in…

    Struggling with Mortality

    I start my new years resolution on my birthday, December 29th of every year. Usually, I take that day to reflect on my life and how far I’ve come in 365 days and start to set goals for the upcoming year. A few days before Christmas I got some disheartening news about my Grandmother who…

  • Remembering my Great Grandmother, Susan

    Her name means joy, I try to keep that in mind every year as I remember her on the day that she passed. The day rushes back to me vividly and suddenly I am 12 and I’m rushing home from school because my Grandmother called the Principal and my teachers and told them I needed…

    My Xanga Account

    OMG. Did you have Xanga? I’ve been blogging for a long time, it started years ago with Xanga. I was so excited to find a social networking site that wasn’t about meeting boys/girls. It really was about people wanting to express themselves. For me, it was freedom. At the time I got a Xanga account,…

    Inspiration: Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie

    “Many stories matter. Stories have been used to dispossess and to malign. But stories can also be used to empower, and to humanize. Stories can break the dignity of a people. But stories can also repair that broken dignity.” ― Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie

    Faithfulness of Mind

    Sometimes it takes more than a firm hand to correct a wrong. Sometimes it takes a glimpse of what you’ve done shown in the tears of a lover. I never wanted to cause you pain and here I am hurting you. I never wanted to be this torn from you. We’ve put ourselves in this…
