• I Settled

  I realized the other day,That I settled for people who didn’t truly love me,I bore myself, Ripped wide open with the blind belief that love would see me through, Only to be left shattered and broken,I settled for charlatans, Men who were unwilling to truly share all parts of themselves,I pushed aside my doubts, Took…

• Is There Such A Thing As A Love Narcissist?

  I’ve been thinking a lot about love and dating and all of its complexities, and it got me thinking about the attention it can garner and whether you can get hooked on the “love bombing”, but not actually be seeking a genuine connection. See what I mean in this week’s post. Is there such a…

• 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…

• Book Review: Black Girls Must Die Exhausted

  

  I would be lying if I said the title of this book didn’t initially grab my attention, I don’t know much about it and thought, why not? I’m not so sure if that was the best decision, but in this week’s blog post, you’ll see the reason’s why. I review the 1st part Jayne Allen’s…
