Like No One Else
I look forward to knowing each crinckle in your nose,I look forward to all the noises you make when you sleep,To the particular way you like your breakfast in the morning,I look forward to the way you stamp your feet when you get in from outside,I want to know you like no one else, I…

This past September, when this book was released, it blew up all over social media and being the book nerd that I am- I had to hop onto the trend to see what the fuss was about. If you haven’t heard of Yaa Gyasi before, you are simply missing out. I realize I forgot to…

R1’s Apartment Tour
Moving out can be so stressful and trust me when I say this, because I’ve done it far too many times and even moved countries about 3 times! So, you can imagine how unexcited I would be this time around; except it was a lot easier, because I had nothing to move- lol. Because this…

Warm Bodies
WARM BODIES It is only when you are alone,Truly alone,Sipping on a glass of wine in your empty living room,Your emotions bouncing and twisting off the walls,swirling like the liquid as it seeps down your throat,Alone, alone.Left with your thoughts and fears,You default to the nearest thing that will make you feel anything but alone,Seeking…
