I present to you a cup. This cup is of average size, is your favorite color and is holding your favorite beverage. If I were to ask you to describe to me what you are holding, which words would you use? Would you speak of the color or shape of the cup, the warmth or…

Before we begin negotiating let me say this, I love my life. I have never really considered myself as a victim, just that life seemed to be hard, and void of love. It drove me to make what I think was the right decisions when I inadvertently started a family at 17 then later again…

My last post was written weeks ago, more recently I hit publish without even bothering to read the first draft. It wasn’t laziness, not in the least. It was partly out of my fondness for irony as I came back to and sat at the same camp spot as I did the weeks before, with…
