To the Boy Who Broke My Heart but Helped Me Find Myself
Dear Jason Momoa (sure, that‘s not your real name but that of your hero), The day you told me that you weren’t feeling it a piece of me died. You said that something was off, that your former relationship ended abruptly and left things unfinished, making you wonder if there wasn’t anything left to do, a fire to rekindle. You confessed on that arctic winter day that you owed it to yourself to try. As the harsh winds froze the tears on my cheeks, my heart contracted painfully. It was all so sudden, so unexpected. I thought that everything was wonderful and was looking forward to discovering more about you, to experience our many carefully laid out plans. But you thought differently.

The Ghost
I first met Kaashvi while at the Goodwill on 57th. She caught my eye because of what she had been wearing. While I didn’t mean to stare, it was hard to help it because most of the women in the store had either blue shirts or were old ladies. She was 27 at the time and was wearing a red Salwar Kameez suit, which looked great on her.

Heart in your hands
There was a gorgeous girl named Leilani, she was smart talented and a real sucker for falling in love. I guess you can say most of us are hopeless romantics but this woman is different. She would pour her heart out in to every single relationship and is rarely single. Eventually she comes across this gentleman that seems to have it all together. His name is Anthony Simmons. He seems like he’s falling in love with her but he’s hesitant because of her deep past. Not only that but he always busy with “business”. Alright, so easy to say everyone has a past, but how deep is her past exactly? Leilani used to be homeless and although very talented , deep in addition. Anthony loved leilani very deeply but not deep enough to stay together. So eventually after two and a half years, he decided to make the breakup final over dinner . He told leilani cut and dry that he was on to bigger and better things and she wasn’t in the plans. All she could do was hold close her heart shaped locket that revealed the date of her aborted child’s death and cry . She has overtime has been through so much. Now yet another heartbreaking event. Anothony doesn’t seem to be fazed by the tears ,so after the unfortunate announcement he dismissed himself from the table . That was it for him ,though it wasn’t for her. She was left to pick up the pieces of her heart that’s forever shattering. The next day she called Anthony to try to have a conversation with him but no luck. She has great potential for greater things but will she stop begging for love , chasing men that doesn’t really reciprocate, and heal from the ruff past ? Eventually , in time she does! She started embracing life more went back to school and therapy and got a way better job . Not to prove it to her naysayers or even to Anthony who’s broken her heart the most but to herself. She is using all of her potential and talent! Fast forwarding three years later she is everything she had the potential to be and more. She landed a job as a veterinarian technician. She turned her life around for the better with all her pain , without a man , and with her head held high. This woman came a long way from death ,heartbreak ,grief and hard choices living in the hard streets of south central Los Angeles. Yet she has proven to herself she can move past it, but has she really? One day at the veterinary hospital she works a man shows up to pay her a visit for the first time in years . It was Anthony. She noticed that he was standing in the lobby. She met eyes with him and nervously clutched her heart shaped locket she always keeps around her neck. He came by to check in on her because he heard she was doing so well. She is but she does still have a soft spot for him. Leilani gave her all into this man. However ,he can’t just Stroll back into her life , she thought . Anxiety through the roof and heart on the floor she asks “what are you doing here?” .“Just here to congratulate you on your new career”he said “and say hello” . Hesitant about the sudden return she says thank you and continues with her work. She vowed that she’s not getting caught up in Anthony’s antics and more . The last thing she needs is to get fired over him just “popping up”. As she was attempting to get back into her work load , he interrupts her with another piece of jewelry that he would hope she would also hold close. “Leilani please just hear me out. I know you’ve been through a lot in your life and in our past relationship but I never forgotten about you my love for you hasn’t and never will fade . I have this to prove it “. It was a ring that Leilani always wanted. Gold with diamonds in it just like her locket and the whole office is watching the story unfold. “Will you be my wife leilani?” Anthony asks . Leilani reminded of the heartache but remembers and always felt the passionate love that never passed over time for Anthony. She quickly replied” yes””I will marry you “ It was an eventful day for leilani because this too was her dream to be married and finally have a child . It seems like her life was completed and all in order. Until Anthony slipped back into his abusive ways towards her physically, she eventually relapsed into her addiction and never became pregnant with child as she always wanted. Chasing after a love that doesn’t love back. Her heart was in his hands and he abused it,literally . Will she bounce back ? Will she receive the love deserved ? Will she stop chasing love ? There’s hope for all when you love yourself.

A Year on Rocky Shores
A great cliché, but a true statement none the less: there's always a guy. For me, it was Keith Kitter. Like most love stories, or at least the good ones, our love started as a hot ember, burning stronger and stoked by every breath. Our first date was one of those nights that seemed to linger on till morning. Our second date was an adventure, driving 5 hours away to go camping on the shores of Cape Cod. Our third date I made dinner, shrimp scampi. After that, you know it was settled. We were each others, or at least, that's what I told myself.

My Heart Belongs to You
July 17th, 2022 Sunday 9:20 PM Dear Diary, It’s been almost two months since the Letifer-Flu was unleashed on the world. I still think about how naïve we all had been in the beginning… thinking it wasn't a big deal. I feel sick to my stomach when I think back to laying on the couch with Luke in our living room giggling about how the lockdown was kind of cool. We had been so excited to work from home because it meant we’d get to spend a bunch of quality time together. Life was so carefree then. All that mattered was what we would make for dinner and what movie we would choose to watch. Only two months ago I was warm and safe snuggled to Luke’s side; no genuine worries about what the future held. I miss his warmth and the peace being in his arms brought me. I know I haven’t written to you in a long-time diary… but I have to tell you that I’m afraid Luke is gone and I won’t ever physically feel the warmth, love, and peace his presence brings me in this lifetime again. I don’t want to write this, but I’m scared if I don’t release the story running through my mind constantly, it will eat me alive before this virus does.

The Unrequited Word
This is a story about a a man who desires to write. He toils to find the words to inspire and evoke thoughts of "wow" from his readers. He wants his prose published. And though he loves his prose and passion for the written word, he discovers that in this artificial world, getting his writing out to the planet and perhaps, getting published and achieving fame and fortune doesn't happen that easily. Ah me, oh my, oh well...

Embracing Happy
Okay. Deep breath. I’ve stared at this blank screen for far too long… It’s honestly become quite embarrassing. Except that makes me angry- The putting myself down part, that is. It’s a bad habit… kind of like reestablishing toxic relationships; we always know better but we do it anyways. I’d like to follow that with ‘welp, that’s what makes us human- making mistakes on mistakes on mistakes.’

What Love Isn’t
she didn’t look at me with hesitation. the way we do to strangers until we remember to smile or offer some warm gesture as to keep them from insecurity. her smiles & nods felt familiar. she desired to call me friendly nicknames from day one. we worked alongside each other making drinks & serving anxious customers addicted to caffeine, & my nervousness seemed to sink into oblivion. she never had a single glimpse of uncertainty from the second I met her, & that was unnerving.
