2018 – A Toe Into New Waters
I can’t seem to write. For months now. The words are drying up inside me. I can’t figure out if I’m hollow, numb or content. I’m really hoping for that last one but I know I’m deluding myself. I guess this is the part where I say something is wrong. It feels like everything is a little tilted. Not enough to cause alarm, not enough … Continue reading 2018 – A Toe Into New Waters
The Ring
On the index finger of my right hand. I wear a ring. It perfectly fits. When I just got it, I tried it on every finger but it only fit the index finger on my right hand. At the time I did not want to wear it there – this was years ago. So I would occasionally wear it on a middle finger. I don’t remember … Continue reading The Ring
On To The Next One
I have trained my body to wake up consistently at a few minutes to or after 6. This allows me some precious moments to relax each morning and just breathe. On this Saturday morning, I woke up restless. I love working from home but it can feel a bit lonely and it’s even more poignant on a weekend morning. As I plan my day the … Continue reading On To The Next One
I am Awash with the Spirit of Gratitude
The last time I wrote here, I was in a place of determination, of perseverance. I was adamant that the shit that life was throwing at me would not get me down. I am grateful for that fighting spirit. As the rains lash my windows, I cannot help but reflect on the past few weeks and how very fortunate and grateful I am. It is not easy … Continue reading I am Awash with the Spirit of Gratitude
If The Elevator Tries To Bring You Down
Let’s Go Crazy by Prince has been one of my go-to jams these days. It’s kept me moving when most days I want to crawl under the sheets and never get out. I’ve been in such a state of confusion and depression that I honestly could not write these past few weeks. These days, I am overwhelmed by a crushing sense of defeat. Unexpectedly, from … Continue reading If The Elevator Tries To Bring You Down
A Coming-of-age Story: Part 4 – Breast Obsessed
It turned out that my best friend and I were actually getting involved with guys that were very good friends. So it was that we four began to hang out together and by hang out I mean, ditch extra lesson classes each Sunday to go driving all over the island and make out. It was fun. There was James and I, with Kim and David. It … Continue reading A Coming-of-age Story: Part 4 – Breast Obsessed
A Coming-of-age Story: Part 3 – Exploring
No faith meant no restrictions. At 18, I could do and say whatever I wanted. I remember daring my friends to dare me to say fuck. Yes, my first curse word was fuck and as a Jamaican with a large vocabulary of curse words to choose from, that is saying something. Then came the rap music and the heavy metal, I was ready to explore … Continue reading A Coming-of-age Story: Part 3 – Exploring
A Coming-of-age Story: Part 2 – Sex and Religion
My first real arousing kiss happened when I was 18 years old. By this point, I was having discussions with friends about how far they had gone, and most admitted to only light petting and oral sex – of course, most were lying. To understand the dynamics of this, you should note that I attended an all-girls traditional high school, where Christian morals and decency … Continue reading A Coming-of-age Story: Part 2 – Sex and Religion
The Blogger Recognition Award
I was not having a good morning, right up to the point when I saw the comment from Renegade Expressions saying that he had nominated me for the Blogger Recognition Award. Being a blogger can be lonely, so every comment is like gold to me. I love the likes but a comment – wow. Subsequently, this nomination is like special gold, covered in frosting. So thank you, … Continue reading The Blogger Recognition Award
