love
All you need is Love, and Love is all you need.
The Goddess
Antonio was thinking about Marianna again. He thought about her all the time and wondered if she ever thought of him. Marianna was a goddess, at least that’s what he thought. And like most goddesses, she was unattainable, unknowable and yet he wanted to know her. His longing for her was breaking him apart.

Food is a Memory
Cooking is one of the most important things to me. It is a way to show the people in my life how much I care. Trying to find the words to explain the emotional connect is something I’ve struggled with, but cooking a meal for them to enjoy- and see them actually enjoy it, few things are better.

Dear Future Husband
Hey Honey, If you're reading this that means you have an interest in me and you're wondering how to go about asking me out. So I decided to write a letter to the man who plans on marrying me, which hopefully is you. You're either a psycho yourself or you're just a truly awesome man who is willing to learn how to love me the correct way. Whichever it may be, get ready for a wild ride of crazy, awkward antics. Clearly I don't know who you are yet but I decided to write you a letter to inform you on how to handle little Miss LeAnn.

124 Christa Drive
The clock chimed ten times and I knew by the late hour that my husband, Eddy, would not be home until very late, and most likely a bit inebriated from a long evening of drinking. It worried me when he drank and drove home, but he ignored my fears and kept doing it. My computer dinged and I looked down to see a little figure bent over with laughter. It was my online friend, Jesse, and he was my constant companion in the evenings lately. Eddy would leave for the lodge right after dinner and once I did the dishes and settled in for the night, Jesse and I would talk until we were both tired.

Tape dispenser
When I was 19 I read a book call "Plato and a platypus walk into a bar" by Daniel B. Klein. The book itself was trying to understand philosophy through jokes. I was trying to be more worldly. I wasn't in college. I was working in entry level job with a small future in a small town. I knew I didn't want that life, but I didn't know how to escape it. Reading this book helped me look at where I was and see my next step, then the step after that. Then the next step. It has been over a decade since I read this book and sadly, I cannot recall the stories or lessons I learned. But there was a comic that stuck with me. It's a simple black and white, one panel comic, involving two snails and one tape dispenser. The first snail says to the second snail "I don't care if she is a tape dispenser. I love her." To this day that is how I think of true unconditional love. No judgement, but acceptance. Acknowledging that differences are not discrepancies.

Stop Hurting ME
truth...We had our first real disagreement. It was over a misunderstanding and now, we have a somewhat understanding that will only solidify with time. but wait ...The hurt felt was so different that I know if it were not for my past...my triggers...I was never angry...just hurt. I could not imagine living in a home with him and not breathe...we did and it seemed like a month of pause my entire world shattered, I was brought back from my fairy tale...this is real-Lajuan-this one will beat you with words-he does not care for anything that interest you makes it know and does not participate with anything without complaints...lots of complaints-HE is going to constantly beat you with his words. He does his best work with his WORDS. Just fuck me. Sadly-I have attached myself with someone that is controlling-yet thoughtful. HE is anger -travelings-yet only when he is alone does he have pleasurable experiences. It's his competitiveness-he is extremely critical of himself and others. But, he intrigues me and most of times my days filled with us always doing something together-him sulking over I don't know what, but then he chills or was that an act. Lately, I am on high alert. It will be with words...be careful. I am thinking of everything-he is tense and only relaxed when he is listening to music or is he? Then there are the times he is with others-he seems to worry that the other person is going to complain; so, he does and me-I have lived with the DEVIL....lately-I've been in my head and warning my heart. you have another one and this one will use words.

MAKE OR BREAK
Prior to the Corona virus, I casually dated. Meaning, I was kind of sort of dealing with someone for a few months, ended it in December, and kind of sort of rekindled it in February. However, during this time, I had met someone in September, but didn't encourage it due to the fact that I was seeing someone else.

The Borderline Demon
All relationships can be tricky at times; adapting to the needs of two separate people, but try a relationship with three, which can make things crowded at times! What doesn't help is that the third person is unpredictable, hyper-sensitive, noisy, demanding, turbulent, dramatic, chaotic, destructive, and almost always impossible to please.

Broken
Love is supposed to be easy and care free. Its supposed to make you happy and feel good. It's there to warm your heart and to show you how much you mean to a person. Love is easy to say, it numbs the pain and helps people heal when they've been broken. Anyone can say they love you and majority of the time it makes you feel better. But there are times where people use love as an excuse and then it no longer feels good, then it becomes hurt. Which is why people like me are terrified of love because we associate it with pain.
