*My thoughts were updated five years later! I'm black. That's what I know. It's a truth that I cannot deny. The color of my skin is a fact, yet it has taken me a long time to figure out what it means to be black, and I still am. To learn what to think about being black. To learn what to think about those days where I may feel ashamed of being black, but days when I am proud of being black. To learn on how to figure out who I am and how being black ties into that. These are my conversations. Conversations that have to do with me figuring out what exactly the color of my skin means. Conversations with family and friends just about being black and what it means to me, what I learned from it, and what I think about it. *Remember these are my own thoughts and experiences, so they may not apply to everyone, and please don't be harsh if they do.

What you don't know, can't hurt you...right?

September 21, 2013 was technically the day I started my new life with the man of my dreams. However, that’s also the day I died. Granted, there was no eulogy or casket, but I died within myself. My heart continued to beat and my lungs functioned as normal, but my soul died. I was left with nothing more than the shell of an existence.  It’s funny, we never realize that everything that’s good to us isn’t always good for us, until the unthinkable happens—cavities, diabetes, lung cancer—we never know until the diagnosis. Have you any idea what it’s like to lay with the enemy or break bread with your own murderer? Any idea what it’s like to have the sun rise and set on somebody else’s ass? Maybe you are familiar with what it’s like to drink from the cup that’s laced with the poison of your own demise. Have you ever really fed on hatred, or even choked on deceit? Perhaps you have, but most deny the fact that they, too, have consumed this very meal. This is how it unfolded in my life and I am going tell you exactly how that poison tastes and how deception feeds the hunger of a starving heart.
