The Re-Discovery of My Lost Love (Poem by yours truly)



"Sitting in awe because I realized what I've been missing. They say you never know
what you got until it's gone and I see that you've been neglected by me. As I sit in 
your presence, I miss the feelings you gave me; caused my heart to skip a beat. I
missed leaning against your hard body, strumming my thumbs against your chest, 
singing loudly and proudly as I enjoyed making crazy noises with you. We made
beautiful music together, just me and you with no one else around. You brought
tears to my eyes, something I cannot explain. No one makes me feel the way you
do; our hearts beat as one. I have so much in me ready to let out but words can't 
explain, words can't come out of my mouth. I was lost without you. We can 
change the world together because you have changed my world. You're the only
one God has brought in the light and shown me crystal clear as day, as it is night.
He made you 'specially for me when he crafted you. And now as I sit here in the
dark with you by my side, I realize you're the only thing I've been missing that's
been here all along... The only materialistic thing I couldn't live without...
My Lola Love"



Meet Lola Love <3

She sits in the corner of my bedroom; seen yet unseen. I use to play her my sophomore year when I would come home from a class and would be stressed out. I would play when I had the room to myself and would have a grand time. Since then, Lola Love has collected dust and winded up sitting in the corner of my bedroom two years later. I made it a goal this Winter Break to pick her up and play her once more. Once again we had a grand time and I was moved! Something was different however. Her song was different because my life is different. 

I said all of this and created this post not only so you'll get to know me on a personal level (I don't always have to blog about race, women, and relationship issues); I created this to share with you a love for music that I've always had and to encourage you to find a healthy destressor. Playing Lola Love causes me to destress from life... in a positive way. Most people do this by drinking or partying, etc. but if you find something you love and passionate about and find ways for it to positively help you, do it!

Find something you love and is passionate about to help you destress and bring out the better you!


With love,

The Chronicles of Racial Battle Fatigue (2017)

(Edited; Originally set to post in 2017) Please keep in mind that this information is based on some facts and from experiences. Do not take anything as personal or as an attack on white people or white culture. Neither do I find myself superior to or discriminatory against the Caucasian race; prejudices and stereotypes may be shared. If you do not know or understand what these words mean (they are often confused with one another), please feel free to ask through comments or simply open another tab/look them up in the dictionary. Here is a message to my white friends: "There are a lot of things I must educate you on but feel as though it would not be worth it. You have made the focus and played victim for so long for issues that do not directly impact you but the fact is you are the problem. I will not keep my mouth shut and honestly, now that I have gone to college and about to receive my degree, I have learned many more things and experiences that I have yet to share w

Why We Should Say "Physical Distancing"

Here are some other articles that my post will most likely reiterate:  https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/wired-love/202004/social-vs-physical-distancing-why-it-matters https://www.geisinger.org/health-and-wellness/wellness-articles/2020/04/08/13/47/social-distancing-vs-physical-distancing#:~:text=While%20%E2%80%9Csocial%20distancing%E2%80%9D%20is%20still,from%20others%2C%E2%80%9D%20says%20Dr. *For those who suffer from mental health concerns and have been reserving their peace, this one is for you* I want to shout it on the mountain top...   START SAYING PHYSICAL DISTANCING! In this post, I will focus on the mindset and psychological portion to the best of my intellectual ability and anticipation. Telling (and bullying, which I will get to in another post) people to make sure they are "social distancing" is subconsciously being insensitive. We have to be honest that when we go out in public, we are attempting to keep our PHYSICAL bodies distanced from

I Run (for Ahmaud Arbery)

I am a woman in her mid 20's. I have a profound love for the arts. Painting, dancing, live music, movies, you name it! I love life and the Creator of Life. I spend most of my mornings praying, studying the Bible, listening to Spontaneous worship music, cooking breakfast,  and teasing my dog that he can't eat "people food as I can." My afternoons are spent completing certifications online to improve my skills that I can apply to my business in organizational development and event coordination. In the evenings, I have meetings, cook dinner, and my love-hate relationship for exercise, especially running.  I have my family, friends, church family, roommates, and a dog who look forward to me arriving home and being safe... Yet, I am faced with a dilemma. Though these people care about me and my well-being, any of them nor I can change my skin color.  The fact that my skin is black in a society that disapproves of the darker skin race, along with continuous examples of ra
