Olivia Ross was the city’s toughest art critic. I was fascinated by her mysterious persona, so I’d reach out whenever I got the chance. We’d planned to grab coffee ever so often, but with our conflicting schedules it was impossible. One-night years later we’d
You look good Today
A girl name Jill
Jill was the woman every girl envied, and every guy wanted to enter. She walked around with her head high and her heels even higher. She very often indulged in classic activities such as pottery, hiking, and tennis. Her life appeared to be a bed of roses, at least that’s what it looked like to a simple observer. Jill was the type of woman that always got what she wanted, not just off her good looks, but her stellar personality. One thing about Jill was she knew what she wanted and knew how to get it. Business mindset fueled her heart which intimidated the men, she would try getting to know. Some could say that she was a tough shell to crack, but when you got to know her, you were obsessed.
Dear Reader
Do you know Jill?

Thirty
As I approach my thirtieth birthday, I reflect on the person I’ve become. Turning thirty still baffles me, but in a good way though. I realize that I am the “new adult”. They say the thirties are the new twenties and quite frankly I agree to a certain extent. Is it possible to feel younger while getting older? I am grateful for what my twenties taught me from setting boundaries to communicating one’s feelings in a way that I comprehend how it affects the people around me. Emotional maturity has developed in unfathomable ways.
Dear Reader
Millions didn’t make it, but I am one of the ones who did.
Dear Reader: The Playlist
Music translates beyond its waves. It communicates a language that can transcend the listener to an outer body experience. Nostalgia can penetrate the present moment, moving you right where you once were. If your life were a ten-song playlist, what would it consist of? Would you only include the warm songs despite having been left in the cold without a jacket?
Dear Reader
Take this time to list your ten songs.
Painting with a Twist
You, Me, and New York
There is nothing like being in the city of Manhattan. There’s just something about it I’m so drawn to. I came for the fashion, had a date with romance, but stayed for central park and the coffee. Today reminds me of the time I planned a date with this ravishing young beauty and never spoke to them again. It wasn’t because we didn’t connect at some sort of level, it was because they were “too busy. At least that’s what I tell myself. We talked over dinner, laughed over dessert and that was it.
Dear Reader
Some people are meant for a season and some just for 24 hours. It’s okay to enjoy the company had without feeling you’ve wasted any time, because at the moment it stood still.
We're Not Really Strangers
Unsure of companionship this night I was intrigued on seeing you in person. We went back and forth through messages to make sure this was something we really wanted to do. Moments before your arrival I’d tidied up my home and showered. It felt like a blind date almost, but the only thing was … we weren’t set

Remembering Love
Flowers
Today you brought me flowers. I’m tempted to put them in a vase. You don’t know I’m distancing myself from you, so your gesture is senser. I left them there for dead. I think you should just let me be. If you’re reading this right now, I think its best we let this rest in peace.
Dear Reader,
It’s time to go off the grid for a little while.

Chemistry on Compatibility
I found myself drawn to you. Your qualities new and unique satisfy my longing for intimacy. It’s been many moons since I’ve felt this level of attraction the law forbids, but you’re worth it. I’m not just drawn to your copper skin, but your thirst for adventure. The way your smile turns your face into a symbol of peace your arms wrapped around me a safe space. I can’t help but geek over the way you bite your finger when you are enticed. The chemistry between us is leaves an element of surprise in which compatibility doesn’t exist yet.
Dear Reader
While chemistry is what initially sparks relationships, compatibility is what helps them last over time.
