Dragonflies

Ever since I was a little girl, dragonflies have brought me comfort. I remember my friends were terrified by them. Their name alone does seem a bit ominous. However, I was always fascinated by them. Their beautiful quad wings and the iridescent sheen of their bodies almost hypnotized me. Of course, I also thought they were related to fairies. *laughs* The thing is that no matter how bad things were in my life, the moment I saw a dragonfly I felt like God was telling me that everything was going to be alright. While I no longer believe in God, I do very much believe that everything is going to be alright whenever I’m surprised by a dragonfly…whether a real one or not. To this day, they continue to bring me comfort. It’s probably the only insect to ever bring me comfort…lol.

But then you read

“You think your pain and your heartbreak are unprecedented in the history of the world, but then you read. It was books that taught me that the things that tormented me most were the very things that connected me with all the people who were alive, who had ever been alive.” ― James Baldwin

I’m slippin’ into dangerous ways

Dark space
I’m slippin’ into dangerous ways
Looking for a familiar face
Not too far from home
And it’s all
It’s all, all too much
When you can’t see the shiny under the rust
So you hide away, shelter from the rain
And I’ve been getting tired of all these patterns
I see it written on the wall
And I’ve been walking through my own disaster
Thinking it’s time to move on

Triggered

When I started decorating my current home on the Blake, I immediately used the Familiar Mess desk from Nutmeg. My bestie, Harvey, came to see my progress and said that my desk was triggering. He can’t stand a messy desk. Immediately, I knew that I would be changing my desk and using this Mess on the Desk set from Insurrektion. The next time he came over, I let him know that I had taken away the desk that triggered him. *grins* He knew I was trolling him, but he looked anyway. He responded with, “I hate you.” He doesn’t, but he did in that moment. I left it out so it can trigger him every time he comes over. *giggles*

Good Sisters, Bad Students

I show up to collaborate on this blog post with my sister, Kess Crystal, and I find her standing in front of this school backdrop with her books & drink. I couldn’t help myself and laughed, “Well, if that’s how you dress for school, its no wonder you have two kids already!”
She looks at me and says, “Well, you’re smoking! You’re not better!”
“Listen, I’m stunting my growth not spreading my legs!”
We both laughed and went on with doing the picture, while talking about other things. This is why we’re sisters. This is why I love her. She is the sister I always wanted. I just didn’t have to deal with her smart ass until we were in our 40s. LOL!
Fortunately, we did find each other. Despite the person that tried his best to keep us apart or just maybe that was his purpose in both our lives, to bring us together. Either way, I consider myself beyond blessed to have her as my sister and my friend. I love her beyond words.

Know When to Let Go

[777] MIA

An Ounce of Peace

I have to block out thoughts of you so I don’t lose my head
They crawl in like a cockroach, leaving babies in my bed
Dropping little reels of tape to remind me that I’m alone
Playing movies in my head that make a porno feel like home
There’s a burning in my pride, a nervous bleeding in my brain
An ounce of peace is all I want for you; will you never call again?
And will you never say that you loved me just to put it in my face?
And will you never try to reach me?
It is I that wanted space

Hate me today
Hate me tomorrow
Hate me for all the things I didn’t do for you
Hate me in ways
Yeah, ways hard to swallow
Hate me so you can finally see what’s good for you

One of the most tragic things I know about human nature is that all of us tend to put off living. We are all dreaming of some magical rose garden over the horizon instead of enjoying the roses that are blooming outside our windows today. ~Dale Carnegie

I’m On a Boat

Don’t be mad, I couldn’t stop myself, ok? LOL If you don’t know the song, please give it a listen. The link is at the bottom.

I’m on a boat (I’m on a boat) I’m on a boat (I’m on a boat)
Everybody look at me
‘Cause I’m sailing on a boat (sailing on a boat)
I’m on a boat (I’m on a boat) I’m on a boat
Take a good hard look at the motherfucking boat (boat, yeah)
I’m on a boat motherfucker take a look at me
Straight floatin’ on a boat on the deep blue sea
Busting five knots, wind whipping out my coat
You can’t stop me motherfucker cause I’m on a boat
