Posting to remember what my page looked like in 2017

When I was in love...

Your impeccable design,

Enraptures me every time.

All of my doubts cease,

For you see the best in me.

- I’m assuming this has been sitting in my drafts since 2017

I haven’t logged on or posted in almost 5 years. Woooow.

how dare you

How in the hell are you gonna break up with me, then turn around and like my Instagram posts?? Like what??? Nigga, we ain't been cool since you said, "I mean, if you wanna break up, that's dope." But you know what? Actually that WAS dope. I finally ACCEPTED your true intentions. I knew you wasn't shit to begin with, I didn't realize anything. I just finally stopped trying to justify your actions. You only wanted me when it was convenient for you, never putting in any actual effort to make me a priority while making excuses and never keeping promises.

How DARE you like my posts when you're still liking and communicating with your ex, AND POSTING PICTURES OF HER ON YOUR PAGE. If that's who you want, you have no reason to be keeping tabs on the shit I'm posting.

I was stupid enough to allow you to waste almost a year of my life. But do I know one thing: you ain't finna waste anymore of it. 🖕🏽

Something I posted last night. How many of you know how it feels to crave affection?

affection

“I don’t wanna give you the wrong impression. I need love and affection. And I hope I’m not sounding too desperate…”

Whenever I hear Future croon those words in Rihanna’s song “Loooovveee Song” (however tf you spell that) it makes me think about how much I truly desire affection. Coming across as distant, shy, and reserved, I don’t appear to be accepting of such “love and affection”. I tend to hate being touched. I’m not into giving hugs. And if I have feelings of love for anybody, they might just get an “I love you” on a birthday or Christmas card rather than actually saying it verbally.

There was something about my last relationship that sparked a part of me I’d been hiding for ages, a side of me that wanted to wrap them in my arms and never let go. Cuddling, kissing, caressing, giggling. I crave it. I want it. I NEED it. I held back for almost two decades and once I got a taste, I was hooked. I never expressed that to him because I didn’t want to come across as clingy or needy.

Although we no longer talk, I still think about him (just imagine how satisfied he’d be if he knew this). I think about the good moments and how he’d ask me if I was ok between kisses. I think about our first kiss we shared and how, I kid you not, sparks were flying everywhere! Maybe I was the only one who saw them, but I’ll never forget how he ignited something in me: a softer, more affectionate side who only wants to be reassured that they are loved in return.

Shit, you told me that you’d be 100 times better, but 0 times 100 is still 0…

Can't be 100 times better if you weren't shit to begin with. 🙄

Good morning! Have a productive day, and STAY WOKE. ✊🏽

For my black brothers ✊🏽

Always encourage our men to express their emotions rather than suppress them. You feel how you feel for a reason, so don’t be ashamed to reach out for emotional support.

Who else understands the difficulties of speaking up?

Soft Spoken

I open my mouth as far as I can,

I raise my voice as loud as my vocal chords allow,

but it seems like the only sound that comes out

is as loud as a cotton ball falling onto a carpet.

Nearly inaudible.

Too Risky

"XOXO," I wrote, then I sealed it with a kiss. A love letter for you I crumpled up in my fist. I couldn't take that risk... So much for having hope.

Late Night Thoughts

I dream of a life without limits, like an earthly heaven, without the long-term commitment. Even with the freedom to come and go as I please, I think I’d choose to stay there, with God and the palm trees, Enraptured by the calm breeze Take me to paradise…

Yes! Just looking back on the places we've visited, passing by his old apartment, seeing cars that look similar to his, it still hurts a little. I always tell myself that I'm fine, but something as simple as seeing a little red car speeding past me on a highway is enough to make my entire mood change...

Fortunately, I have my good days 😊
