• I Used To Be Scared

  I used to be distant, Shut down, Keep my feelings to myself,I used to be vague, Aloof,All because I used to be scared,Scared to be my true self,Worried I was unlovable,Terrified to let someone in,All because I used to be scared,But the 180 is real,The shift in my focus,Knowing my worth, What I bring to…

• Book Review: Black Cake

  Full disclosure, black cake is one of the things from the Caribbean, that I actually do not like…I don’t like cooke fruit, I don’t like dried fruits in things, especially desserts…there I said it- we can move on now. That being said, when I came across this book, the story intrigued me- I figured it…

• Silent Betrayal

  It’s an interesting dichotomy, When your body is slowly failing you, Feeling like an invisible number in a huge cog, Watching and waiting for your turn to be seen, Hoping it hasn’t all been for nothing, Worrying about the results and what’s to come, As people scurry to and fro, seemingly with things to do,…

• I Wish Someone Would Have Told Me Pt 18: About Self-Confidence

  One of the things I didn’t expect or maybe didn’t give much thought to, is the fact that my opinion on how I think about my body would change so much. There are days when I’m feeling myself and literally the very next day- I could be looking in mirror and disconnected from what I…

• Magic

  A heaped dusting of chemistry,Along with sprinkles of passion,Electricity runs through our fingertips,We are magic,Trails of longing along our skin,Wisps of our breath lingering,A pulling and pushing we can’t deny,We are magic,Raised heart rates, pulsing in our ears,A thirst unquenched,To feel you, to touch you, to stare in your eyes,We are magic,Within the safety of…

• How Extreme Independence is my Trauma Response

  We can all advocate for the importance of being your own person and being able to do things for yourself, but can you be SO independent- it is actually bad for you? This week on the blog, I share how I came to learn that my independent nature is a trauma response. Have a read…

• Who Am I Uninterrupted?

  I came across a podcast where this was one of the questions and it got me thinking…who are we?; not only when others’ aren’t around, but more profoundly when it’s just us, alone. Who are we? When we are with family and friends, do they see us for who we are or for what they…

• My Irrational Thoughts

  I’ve begun to recognize a pattern within myself, and despite being able to know that it’s not stemming from actual reality, what I have found is that’s it’s harder and harder for me to stop my mind from spiraling. May your choices reflect your hopes and not your fears. Nelson Mandela Typically speaking, I am…

• Sweater

  I found your sweater, Casually draped over the chair,Its lilac colour instantly catching me eye,Met with an equal amount of disappointment for you that you had mistakenly left it behind,But also with joy, because I knew I would slip it on,I dive my face into the fabric and take in your scent,Your body was up…

• All These Months

  All these months,I’ve patiently and silently waited for you,All these months,I thought of all the things you could say,All these months,Wondering what excuses or reasons you would offer,All these months,Festering in my loneliness,All these months,Shedding tears for someone who pretended to care,All these months,Fixing and patching up my heart from the damage you caused,All these…
