And now for the positives:
I have an apartment, my health, and a wonderful boyfriend giving me moral support through all of this.
I have a produce market around the way where I can get tons of healthy veggies for cheap.
My parents (and his parents) are there for us when we need them.
Netflix, PS2, and PS3.
Also, my braids are out of my hair, so I wanna start a natural hair blog for people who don’t fall into the...
Many things have gone wrong.
In a fit of rage and exasperation, my car has killed itself. It didn’t leave a note. It didn’t say why. Life support was too expensive and so Danny Black Sunshine, the 2002 Pontiac Sunfire with only fucking 55,000 miles on it and a FUCKING FULL TANK OF GAS has been laid to rest. If I were to attempt to catch public transportation to work, it would take about two hours and I would have...

I just really don't know how to process my...
Here is a list of what I feel:
anger
hurt
sympathy
sadness
love
Even writing it out doesn’t help.
And I’m getting no resolution on his end so I don’t know what’s going on.

People who glamorize the past, do not understand history. People who wish they lived in the past piss me off to no end because they only know hollywoods/fictions version of history and think it was this great time to live in because the activism was better, culture was better, etc. When in…

Dear Coquette,
I started dating an older guy about four months ago. Even though I waited a while to sleep with him and tried to take it slow, he somehow Jedi mind-tricked me, and it turned into a casual sex relationship. Once I realized this, I was already addicted to the sex and couldn’t…

Africans had slaves, but as part of a workforce. Most if not all slaves were prisoners of war, and even then, the slaves assimilated to the tribe in which they were held, and had a chance to marry and have children and earn a place among the tribe given a chance. Also, in regards to us Africans selling our fellows into slavery, this is just more propaganda to support that...
