My name is Venus. At 30, I stand alone in the hot, dusty streets of Dakar, the vibrant capital of Senegal. Here, marriage is more than just a union; it's the ultimate destination, an essential social validation. But in this universal quest, I discovered that the path to love is winding, strewn with illusions and unexpected surprises. Let me tell you about my journey, a quest for love that ultimately led me to a much deeper discovery: the search for myself through disappointments, breakups, and the unexpected.All Rights Reserved

OBLIVIOUS REDEMPTION by whimzydazzles

Everyone has that one life changing moment, That moment defines you. It shapes who you are as a person, and pushes you down the path that leads to the rest of your life.

A thousand stars by georgiaa27

He reached out his hand and swept away the string of hair covering my dark eyes. "Your never alone... Nobody is.. Trust me." I looked up into the night sky above our heads. Millions of stars illuminated the hills and cities before us. "There are 7 billion people in the world Leo, yet so many of us feel alone.." Leondre devries. Rapper. Teen sensation. Heart throb. My life. I had known him since I was 10 years old, yet I felt I still didn't know him at all.. I dream of him. I dream of us.. Together and always together. But in reality.. Not everything is a happily ever after.. (Warning!! Wrote this when I was 12 so it's 143 asf )

In Love With Blindfolds On by cjacks1124

I gave the best of myself to someone who didn't have anything to lose. I didn't know how to avoid my lover's toxic and abusive flames. My lover's twisted words were like a maze inside of my head that I couldn't escape. Sadly, my lover's actions hypnotized my thoughts and paralyzed my thinking. I learned the hard way that love isn't leaning in for a kiss, and a fist meets you halfway. Love isn't being a punching bag because someone decided they wanted to beat on you today. Love isn't saying I love you just because someone wants to keep you to themselves. I tried to be there for my lover, but I learned it is impossible to fix the broken pieces when the glass has shattered. There will always be pieces that are not repairable. However, I kept going right back to the person who I needed to walk away from. I was afraid, and I wasn't brave enough to wake up from this nightmare! I made the choice to suffer when life is meant to be lived and enjoyed. Will I find the courage to know my worth and know that I deserve better than the distasteful lies that are whispered in my ears? Will I have the strength to fight my insecurities? Will, I set myself free, or will I let my love be the death of me?

Destiny Island by ravenwood666may

Sometimes one ordinary vacation can change your life, forever. It can go beyond anything you planned, or thought possible and surprise you in bad ways as well as good ones. Still, it is up to you to decide what you will do and which path to take. The question is where will the path lead you? Each decision you make leads you to a different place or event. Where will you end up? I don't own the cover picture

"You trust me?" I look up at him, staring into his light brown eyes that stared directly at me. It felt like he was staring into my soul trying to read me. I could barely answer his question because I was busy looking at him. Once I realized I was staring like crazy, I quickly look down. "I do." ----------------------------- She's the girl you never saw coming, the unexpected one who calms you, centers you, and still she turns out to be the surprise love of your love. She gets you, really gets you like no one ever has. She is your best friend, lover, and soulmate all wrapped in the prettiest package. She is unforgettable, she is like no one, which is why you are addicted to her mind, her soul, her body, and her presence. You can't get her out of your system. You taste her and she runs through you hot like blood and fire. She never leaves you no matter what, because she too, knows how rare the connection is. You have never had anyone stick by you like that before. She is the safest place you ever know. You are soft for her no matter how hard life gets, she is there and your feelings never change. She loves you fiercely and you feel her love deep in your bones and in your soul. She is the one who makes you feel whole in a way you never have before and that terrifies you. But, what terrifies you even more...is losing her. 03/12/21-04/25/21 Rankings: #9 in africanamerican 9-16-21 #84 in urban 9-16-21 #113 in blacklove 9-16-21 #1 in blacklovestory 9-16-21 #45 in contemporarylit 9-16-21 #18 in blackcouple 9-16-21 #218 in urbanromance 9-16-21 #1 in saveblackcharacters 9-16-21

Heart Echoes | ✔︎ by puppypuff3

People told her to forget. People told him to move on. She could not forget. He had pushed away the past. Even though, her lips were sealed- her heart called. Though, he did not dare reveal- his heart beated painfully. How will Zara, Nani, Dawood and Eshaal (this squad of four) go in search for Musa to find him? Miraculous how paths are crossed, to an extent you look back and realize, some stories were left unfinished and need to be resolved immediately. Otherwise, the heart would keep echoing. 3# in Spiritualjourney
