Girlhood Was ROBBED from Us
What Happens When You Don’t Get A Childhood? Girlhood Vs. Reality Girlhood was not all about ribbons and sleepovers for me growing up. Girlhood was about being a girl…in the hood. A girl always in survival mode, learning to “code switch” around others I didn’t feel safe or comfortable near. I learned at a very young age that I had to figure things out for myself, but will be punished for making a mistake. I’ve watched others’ children for long periods of time while they went out and partied because I was more “mature”. I have experienced the high anxiety of walking into a corner store with twelve eyeballs staring me down and asking me for my name. Oh, and I have dealt with having to hold onto traumatic secrets to protect family members. I’m sure all of us can at least put one finger down for any of those things I have just mentioned.

A Criminal Of Love...Or Lust?
Is it wrong to want someone to be emotionally attached to you? Not the obsessive type, but the genuine type. To know when I am upset, and to ask me what’s wrong & how they can make it better. To know what I am thinking before I even say the words verbally. The type of affection you don’t have to ask for because it’s clear to them that you need it.

A Woman’s Scorn
To make a long story short, I met a man named Brian, and found myself in a situation that I could not get out of. He was everything I needed sexually. I needed nothing but a quick nut. Being tied down wasn’t something that I was looking for after leaving a six year relationship not too long ago. I thought I had a simple arrangement with a nice, simple man. But of course this man had a woman, and instead of backing off and going along with my business, I still agreed to sleep with him from time to time. She wasn’t my business-she was Brian’s business. If he wanted to go behind his woman’s back and enjoy a few hours of his time with me, then so be it. Sexual pleasure was all I need from him. He didn’t need to waste any of his time, money, compliments, cars, jewels, or affection on me.
