********** TRIGGER WARNING: THIS POST CONTAINS A CONVERSATION ABOUT RAPE, MOLESTATION, ABUSE, TRAUMA, AND MURDER ********* Because she wore a skirt on a train, a man decided to take photos of her up her skirt, without her permission. She asked me personally, if she had done something wrong to deserve that. I will never forget…

There is Nothing Sexy About Guns and Gangs
I’ve been thinking a lot about this, and it’s actually the reason that’s pulled me away from a very well known, predominantly Black women writing group. There are an abnormal number of books written about women falling in love with gangsters – with the story usually revolving around the idea that these women can either…

The Lost Love Diaries on Patreon Starting Monday March 22nd 2021
So sometime in the middle of 2020, I decided to cut off all my hair. I wanted to shave my head, but the hair stylist that I went to was genuinely confused when I asked her to shave my head, and couldn’t quite bring herself to do as I asked. I cut my hair in…

I Can Feel The Bug of Fashion Nagging At My Heels
God I miss fashion! I miss dressing up, doing my hair and makeup, bouncing to music, and spending a few minutes just pleasuring my heart by enhancing the natural beauty of my face and body. I’ve gotten out of the habit mostly because of the pandemic, but also because I’ve been depressed and lazy. I…

I Don’t Ever Want To Hear A Man Ask A Woman Why She’s Afraid of Him…Ever…Again
I am scared. Every single day. Years ago a young woman who had been in love with a gangster that is quite famous in my hometown, died via overdose in a hotel room, while the love of her life sat in prison for a crime he apparently committed. A heinous crime, in which six people…

Fight or Flight: At the End of the Day, It’s All About Fear
I had to go see my Psychiatrist today. I had every intention of telling her that I wasn’t going to continue to take the medication that has been prescribed, because I don’t think that I need it. However I didn’t say that to her, for no other reason then we started talking about how I…

I Am Not Going To Stop Talking Just To Help You Remain Ignorantly Comfortable
I’ve been thinking a lot about racism. White people – in particular – are programmed and trained to be afraid of BIPOC and Black people. Maybe it’s our skin color, or maybe it’s more than four hundred years of oppression that taught us to be strong. That taught us to be wise. That taught us…

I Don’t Always Know Where I am Going…But I’m Ready For The Adventure of Trying To Do The Best I Can
I didn’t know what to expect when I first started this website. I knew that I wanted revenge, I knew that I was angry I knew that I had been pushed into a position where my flight or fight receptors were pinging off the charts, and I knew that I needed to survive, someway somehow.…

I Was Not Born To Bow or Curtsy To a White Woman…Happy #InternationalWomensDay
White Power. When I was sixteen, I was raped by a Latino man. When I went to a friend’s house to talk to her about it, her white brother said “white power,” while raising his fist. When I looked at him with shock, and said “excuse me?” he responded with “That’s what you said to…

Dear Abusers…For the First Time In Our Lives, We Have the Power To Choose our Destiny…I’m Choosing To Thrive
I’ve thought a lot about this. I have thought about the fact that we were all children, when we were forced to lay in a bed beside each other. I think about the fact that some of you chose to rape me, while others simply laid there wanting to talk, or remain silent. I have…
