Taboo
Dear Mama,
Dear Mama, I want you to know that I love being the “cool aunt”; I wouldn’t trade being able to play with my nieces and nephews without the responsibilities of bedtimes, diapers, and getting up early to make lunches. I love my marriage of almost 11 years and wouldn’t trade the freedom we have to travel, stay out late, and pursue the careers of our dreams. But I must confess, I struggle with my identity one day a year. That’s on Mother’s Day when everyone I see wishes me a “Happy Mother’s Day.” I just smile and say “thank you” as my heart breaks inside.

I have an opinion of food, smell, absolute turn-ons…
There are many whys and wherefores of what can be considered an object of obsession… affection… lust…This world harbors their children and disperses them unto the young adults and old crooked men. This society can be perceived as a very touchy subject to talk about. Many will hide as it is forbidden to even speak of such that wanders in our imagination every single day. I guess it is because of the embarrassment that is produced by brevities of the unknown. Meaning that if we die, what then was the use of concealing our weaknesses and the temptations that lie deep in the bottom of our hearts which never rests. Would they be meaningful or meaningless? What prospects do they offer? Not a soul on this planet has the answer to this question. Everyone is on the verge of going crazy. Some are successful in breaking and others are not. They cannot deal with themselves, they pivot, trying their very best to avoid all the doors that lead to it. Claiming they know themselves but instead, they fall right in the grave they just dug for temptation. Is it good to lie to myself or better to lie to the person next to me? Like seriously if we are going to be all that we want to be or to have… Why not do it with style? I’m too busy being afraid of myself watching my every move for your peace and happiness.

Do We Really Have A Pre-determined Destiny?
According to a psychology article, our genes and circumstances shape our destiny. These are the two things that are beyond our control. If you were to dig further, you may ask who gives us the ‘genes’ and our ‘circumstances’? To me, it’s our Creator that has different names for different people depending on their religions.

Celibate
My name is Diana and over one year ago I solved my father’s 38 year old murder mystery. I have since created The Vibe Podcast & wrote my very first book! How Spirituality Saved My Life. This journey has turned out to be something beautiful. In the words of Kanye West; “We turned tragedy to triumph.”

To the Men that Sexually Abused Me
I’ve wished I could rip my heart out a thousand times over the pain I felt. But you don’t care about that. Your life went on as normal, unscathed by my pain. You didn’t have to feel empty, shattered, and completely defiled.

How much money do you need
I recently watched an interesting story on TV about a business in Brooklyn called Ample Hills Creamery. It was founded by a wife and husband who both quit their jobs and went all-in on their unique ice cream shop. Obviously the business is doing well, or they wouldn’t be profiled on TV. But one specific statement in the story stood out to me.

Age Gap Relationship With My Professor
I often wonder how I could have gotten bamboozled into sharing my thoughts and body with a man I wasn’t attracted to mentally or physically. He was a skilled and highly practiced predator. His efforts were highly inefficient at first as I only used him as a sounding board through emails for whatever the fuck was stewing in my brain at 3am. He tried to stay positive and uplifting but always kept the responses relatively short, relatively unbiased. Our exchanges were merely a way for me to vent, almost a form of free type therapy. I was making a terrible mistake in the game though; I made the blunder of showing an incredibly lonely and chronically single older man, all of my cards, so foolishly thinking he had no ulterior motives. Or rather, I didn’t bother to think about his motives because I truly felt in my mind, that this man who lived over an hour away was totally insignificant. He was no longer my professor anymore.

A Single Indian Woman’s Thoughts on Embracing Sexuality
How we date, explore our pleasures and accept our bodies is as dependent on the society as much as it does on us as women. I am a 30 something heterosexual female from India and all these views are from my own experience.

Age Is Just a Number
I knew him from the time he was 12, because he was my oldest son's best friend and always at my house. He had green eyes and thick brown hair, and always had a positive attitude and was ready for anything. But, now that we are both adults, and there is 18 years difference in our ages, people don't think we should be together.
