s u n f l o w e r

It is in the same peculiar fashion that sunflowers only turn their faces up towards the sun that I am drawn into nothing that I understand and everything that fuels me.
Just as a sunflower, I uncontrollably point my face to all that is light, love and clarity.
Just as those deeply rooted into the soil, I am aided to rise from the dirt - the sky is the limit and once I reach my undetermined height, I begin to bloom.
I bloom into beauty, I bloom into strength and most of all I bloom into the creation that my ancestors before me nourished and loved on my soil for.
I trust in the sun to provide adequate love and care to me, I embrace the soil that supports me and I bask in the fruitful growth of all that is me.
I take after the nature that surrounds me and I never question the process, I simply just am.

What is Domestic Violence?

What is Domestic violence? Domestic violence is a crime that almost always has no face or voice,  the victim negates their voice and the criminal remains in the shadows. Domestic violence is the monster that lives under each victims bed and breathes fire into their nightmares in the form of fear, depression,  anxiety, etc. Domestic Violence doesn’t always show up in the form of cuts and bruises on our skin, no the domestic violence I have known and lived is much worse and has produced a  gaping hole in my soul. I lived in a vicious circle of being abused day in and day out, not by physical force – which in my opinion would have been way better than the EMOTIONAL pain that I endured. My domestic violent situation came in the form of venomous words that cut me deeper than any sword could slice flesh. #DomesticViolence does not discriminate against creed nor color, it will not avoid any specific economic class. DV is kin of assault, harassment and even murder and the majority of the ti

An Open Letter To The Person Dragging Me Down

Today we got into it, just like any other day except for the fact that you were drunk and more verbally abusive than normal. During the day, we had a heart to heart in which I thought you were being sincere. You told me you feel so bad about yourself for being such a disappointment all of your life which is why you turn to beer  Which deep down, I know is just part of the pity party you throw yourself daily. I told you that everyone that you have disappointed throughout your life doesn't give a shit anymore because they are out there living their lives, the ones you are disappointing the most are your kids and I. You were speechless, so I thought we had some sort of a breakthrough. As the night went on, I watched a movie with my little ones,  eventually falling asleep on the couch while you sat in front of the house and drank maybe 8 bottles of beer and half of a bottle of wine. When you decided you wanted more, you woke  me up out of a dead sleep trying to convince me about how i

Mariah, Don't Let Your Attitude Defeat Your Purpose!!

All throughout my childhood, adolescence and even now that I am a grown adult with children my mother still tells me " Don't Let Your Attitude Defeat Your Purpose!" I never really understood what she meant until I was out in the world, on my own and responsible for making the decisions that have absolutely shaped my life today. What the phrase "Don't let your attitude defeat your purpose" means is to not permit any form of negativity to let you lose sight of what you want to achieve in your life! If you want to land that promotion at work you will not achieve it by sitting around thinking about how difficult or impossible it is to attain - you can achieve it by changing your can'ts into cans. Anything is attainable and within your reach as long as you believe it is!
