Hi, everyone. I hope you are all staying safe with this global pandemic and the social unrest around the world. I just wanted to stop by and announce an update. At the moment, it's tough in general and I'm kinda struggling with the idea of writing about an interracial relationship.
          
          I, myself, have been involved in them and I've had to face serious adversity. People have called me things I won't dare repeat because it's disgusting in general. But I will say this, I do not tolerate racism on any kind of level. It is hateful, hurtful and I deal with it on a daily basis. It has broken my heart and it got to a place where I nearly took my own life because of it. I was made to feel like I was a walking sin merely because of the pigment of my skin. It created a seriously warped self-image in my mind and I hated who I was. I hated being a general sore thumb. And all this because of something I had no control over.
          
          Thank God I have grown to love who I am and how God created me. I hope someday we can live in a world where everyone is accepted for who and what they are. Black lives matter doesn't mean other lives don't matter, it just means that right now our focus needs to be on black people because they are being systematically suppressed and treated like garbage in general. They deserve protection and they deserve to breathe. They deserve to live. This movement will continue as long as we are seen as equal and people will stand up and fight for what's right. 
          
          If you are not black, please stand up for those who are because racism is real, it is terrifying and needs to stop. People are being killed and assaulted as a direct cause of it. We live in fear every single second of our lives. It makes me cry.
          
          I'm shocked and I don't have anything else to comment on the matter. Have a good day.

          DISCLAIMER: I am so sorry, I honestly thought I posted yesterday and to my surprise when I checked in... It was still unpublished 

Happy New Year to every single one of you! I hope you guys are having a fantastic start to 2020. 
          
          I'd like to start off by saying thank you to all my new followers. I appreciate your patience, despite my update schedule being a complete mess. Last year was not exactly the best for me and I needed some time to heal, both spiritually and mentally. It was important to me that I rid of the toxicity and bitterness in my life before I can pore my heart into something like romance. Anywho... Despite all of that thank you, thank you, thank you for still sticking around. I promise not to disappoint y'all. 
          
          You are in for a treat. I will be updating within the week (hopefully by Sunday). 
          
          Until next time, 
          

Hi everyone! Its my birthday today anyways I just wanted to drop by to say that I will be releasing a new chapter this weekend and another one in about two weeks time. Thank you for your patience and your reads, I promise this chapter won't let you down
          
          Until next time xx

Hi, readers. I just posted Chapter One of my story 'Forever Hunting'.
          
          I really hope you enjoy!

The other day I saw one of my best friends and was reminded by her that in order for me and this book to be okay, I needed to remember the most important part: 
          This will only survive if I stay true to myself.
          
          She had to because I seem to have this thing were I absorb so much emotion around me, I tend to automatically mold to my thoughts and actions towards all of it. Sensory overload is like a real casual friend that's always lurking. It starts seeping into every little thing I do. Taking breaks in between helps me from becoming unrecognizable and frustrating to deal with.
          
          I learned that lesson the hard way. But, that is a story for another day.
          
          Its a blessing and a curse, really. You can lose yourself in reading people and mapping out who they are and what makes the dials in them turn, even if that means you sometimes can't sift everything through to find your feelings. There winds up being an entire world inside your head.
          
          Forever Hunting (BWWM) is for me. Hopefully you fall in love with it and it becomes yours too.
