jonathanpham:
All the sadness remains the same. We invest so much of our time into one thing that we cannot bear to imagine it walking away with our souls. But some things don’t last and we lose a bit of ourselves. We give more than we can afford until we feel an emptiness expand. And we ask ourselves what…

shewritesdarkness:
We are fragile creatures, tedious creatures, creatures that require very much and very little in the way of maintenance. We feed off of words, we swallow them like the morsels of truth that will keep us alive to love you another day. We are tortured broken spirits dying in pools of…

Thoughts unprovoked.
There has to be a beginning and an end. There has to be a reward. A light at the end of the tunnel. There has to be something to look forward to.
When there’s none.
How do you know to keep going? How do you know when to give it all you’ve got? How do you know to make that one last push?
Always, strength is fleeting. It is never consistent. A ghostly thing that appears in the least...

shantosophy:
The process of thinking is much the same as that of talking to someone else. Yet the activity is not the same. The man who talks to himself takes different roles. He asks questions and answers them; presents arguments and refutes them. But he doesn’t do it out loud. He does it…

she-whispers:
I cannot control what is inevitable. Eventually, I will cease to exist. I’ve accepted this. I once feared it, for I have not yet accomplished the many things I have yearned for. But if I were to leave this earth tonight or tomorrow, or even next week, I hope my loved ones can…

1. A gym is not designed to make you feel instantly better about yourself. If a gym wanted to make you feel instantly better about yourself, it would be a bar.

Dear You: February 15, 2012 →
writeletterstoyou:
Dear You, Meet someone. Write about it. Have a moment with a girl. Write about it. Have a fight. Write about it. Fall in love. Write about it. Fall asleep and dream. Write about it. Cry. Write about it. Tell a story to someone. Write about it. Oh I’m just telling you about how my life seems to…

she-whispers:
Here’s a confession or two: I know I’m beautiful but I never feel that way. I know I’m one hell of a woman, but I never feel that way either. I toss aside my self-worth for all the wrong people, only to be met with the same results. I beat myself up over things that have already passed, but…

I’ve been tweeting all morning about #rapeculture & #abuseculture, and someone asked me what I meant when I referred to Strong People Myths. I think some/most of us are familiar with the Strong Black Woman Trope right? Right. For those that are unfamiliar with it, it can best be…

usagov:
The citizenship interview is an important step toward becoming a naturalized U.S. citizen, but it can also be one of the most stressful ones. That’s because it involves a meeting with a federal agent, not to mention taking and passing an English language comprehension and a Civics test.
The best…

At the end of the day, I’m merely a collage of all the people I’ve let in. But sometimes I wonder if I’ve met all the right people.

Because I can
The first thing you want to do when you get hurt is to retreat. To run. To never face the thing that hurt you.
I’ve had my heartbroken three times. Three solid times.
Each time it happens I inch away from the notion of love that I crafted at a young age. Each time I promised myself that I would be better, that I would learn to put better guards up. Every time I become jaded to the world...
