If I Were A Love Poet

The Honest Poem

Quick Question

Short and Sweet:

Can Ex's Be Friends?

Once Upon A Time...

Why can't real life be like the movies.  You know, in the beginning everything is bright and shiny, filled with possibilities.  Then, the life changing moment that sets the tone for the remainder of the film, the obstacles that get in the way of dreams. But all of a sudden, the "ah ha" moment when everything suddenly clears up. All the answers you've struggled with for the last 35 to 45 minutes (depending on the length of the film) come to a glorious conclusion with a look or something someone says to you.  In an instant your life is "happily ever after".   Those moments when you get the job and the guy.  I guess the purpose of those movies is to remind us that it is possible, maybe not wrapped in a pretty bow like on screen but possible non the less.  Perseverance and defining what you truly want out of life are the true essentials to gaining that happy ending.

The Future of Black Marriage

A New Day

I woke up this morning in a great mood. I usually hit the snooze button at least 2 time before rushing to get dressed and out the door, completely neglecting to supple my body with any nourishment. But today was different. My alarm went off, i lay there for about 3 minutes then out of bed. Watched the morning news, made some hot cocoa and got dressed. It's a glorious time of year! I love seeing the red and green decorations and hearing the Christmas music. Instant good mood! I have 6 days until i fly home and see my family for the first time in a year. Way to long! I am defiantly looking forward to it. I may lead a very dull life (work, school, sleep) but even I need a break.

I have also come into a different mind frame for the new chapter that is currently unfolding in my life. I am ready for love! I have neglected this aspect of my life for far to long. Since i can be honest with you I'll let you know, it's been five years since I've had an actual love interest. Don't get me wrong I've had celeb crushes, one in particular, but i need a real life connection to another. I've been so focused on school and my career that i have actively neglected my love life, well no more (hopefully there's a great guy out there just waiting for me to say this!). So, I'm getting a new do and a new mindset. Santa, can you put him under my Christmas tree tonight?

I Need Your Help

OK, so I know that you should be happy for those who have found love and happiness but, I am completely heart broken. The love of my life (well, OK, fine that is probably an exaggeration) is in love and happy with another woman. The twist in this love story is I have never actually met this man. I know, sad. I haven't had a crush this big since high school. He is funny, handsome, sexy, intelligent, and incredibly talented. I smile every time I see him, on the computer or movie screen (yes, he's an actor). Anyway, he is rumored to be dating this chick for the past 5-6 months and photos have been taken of them holding hands and now kissing! I just wanna cry! I hate that I feel this way, but I do. I want him all to myself! But I have to come to the realization that we will probably never meet and even if we did the likely hood of the two of us falling madly in love and living a long passion filled life together is practically nonexistent. How do you overcome an obession? Is there a 12 step program for this? You guys, i need help!!
