Date Night

night

So let me just spoil the surprise from now, YES I HAD FUN! Out of the blue, a friend who I haven’t seen in a couple years, since he migrated, called me. Much to my surprise, he was in Jamaica and wanted to take me out for my birthday (a week before my birthday). Now, […]

Be very sure

thinking

One of the things I never want to have to deal with is a man who is not sure he wants me. A man unsure of how he wants to stand with you will never give you want you need. I remember when one of my best friends met his fiancĂ©e. He told me, “Chan, […]

Contemplations at 23

April 16 was my last day as a 23-year old. I’ve been very contemplative as I review the year that I have gone through. The highs, the lows and the in-betweens. As usual, I’ve learnt a few lessons that I want to share. I’ve began declaring into the atmosphere that year 24 will be a […]

I Met A Man… (Follow-up)

Chanel

When I was in my first year at university, I had a math lecturer who had the tendency to say “This one will separate the men from the boys.” when he gave us a particular complex math question to solve. I took that statement to heart when I realized how appropriate it is for life. […]

I Met A Man…

For the last year or so, I’ve have spent my time and energies primarily focused on rediscovering myself and God. This journey has been amazing!

Thank You

As I knelt praying a few moments ago, I found myself reflecting on how I was almost four years ago and immediately I felt thankful. Sometimes we take the simple things for granted but if we just take a moment to look back… If you would just take a moment to remember where He brought […]

The Epiphany of a Lifetime

I must say that I had the epiphany of a lifetime yesterday. I mean, this is the kind of enlightenment that makes you want to cry and rejoice all at once. Man I don’t even know which one to do first. All I can say is that God is truly incredible! Let’s get into the […]

A Letter to My Future Husband and Baby Daddy

Hi Sweetheart, On this day when everyone is talking about their great dads, my mind moves forward to think of you. Although I had many father figures, I didn’t have a great dad. Sweetheart, thank you for being one to our child. Whenever I hear this song, I think of you. I know sometimes I […]

Weird First Dates Part 1: Mr. Reincarnation

Romantic

I was talking to my friend today and we had a good laugh about some of the guys she went out with who were queer or just out off this world. I’ve had some of these experiences and I’ve decided to share in a 3 part series: WEIRD FIRST DATES…. I met this guy in […]

To A Dream Killed Dead

Despite everything, for years my secret self entertained the yearnings of finally communicating and working things out. Though my conscious self worked hard at looking ahead and moving forward, my subconscious self waited in bated hope, being a positivist and refusing to see the futility of waiting. How can two persons who clicked from the […]
