Modeling, Sex and Money
Fiction. When I was 15 years old my cousin came to stay with us for a week. She was from Texas and we lived in Reseda, Ca. She is the daughter of my Mothers sister. We had only met once before when I was around 12 years old when we went to Austin. She was so beautiful but I never kept in touch with her.

Boomerang: Love at First Sight in Jamaica
I met a guy online less than three weeks ago. Let's call him "Kevin". Kevin had proven to be the epitome of the 'greatest love' ever told in almost 4 years. I told him that I saw him in a dream. Our first exchange started online in a Facebook group for singles looking to connect with Jamaican men. There was an instant connection on the first video chat but I fought to hold back the feelings.

My life story
In all my life I have never talked about myself in a positive way because I was always afraid that no one would like or love me in a way that I needed to be loved. In my childhood which I have no memory of except when I hear things from my mom what I did when I was a blue eyed with curly blond hair as a little girl. The next thing I knew my mom and dad got divorced, never saw my dad again in person and well my mom had met someone else to help her raise us four kids.

107 Stitches
I found myself in a stark white room, itchy from the pilled fabric chair. Sitting next to me was man in a hospital gown, attempting to pick off and eat the chipped linoleum. I glanced down at my right thigh, embarrassed and disillusioned by the foot long bandage. This was rock bottom. I was committed to a mental health institution for a 72 hour suicide watch.

Dad was kicked out of home for getting Mum pregnant, they both lost their jobs, Dad found his way to Nan-Nan and Pop-Pop; who took Dad in; and Dad stayed with them for years.

Algorithms of a Break Up
I’ve attempted to re-create it, if that’s the correct word. I’m not sure about the terminology. I mean, I’m trying to basically de-construct the destruction or maybe reverse-engineer it. I don’t know. I mean can an event, a past event, be reverse-engineered or de-constructed? I’m going to attempt it. I have to.

Living Your Truth- Is Marriage For Everyone?
Everyone Loves Differently. When you think of the word, "love," what comes to mind? There is the universal, principled, love, familial, romantic, platonic... The list goes on and on but when you really stop and think of love, what is the first experience that defined your perception of love? When and how did you first experience or feel loved?

I am Not Your Ally
In the world of social justice, it appears that everyone is looking for an ally. Or at least they are looking to use the word ally as many times as they possibly can in a sentence. And those who want to be allies love being called allies. It seems to be a kind of badge of honour. They see it as a sign that they are on the right side of history and in the corner of the good guys. So, they crave that title of ally.
