"My former favorite cousin, who was born a week after us, used to tell me that a man is usually always able to get his ‘bm’ back. Because no matter what that man does…the ‘bm’ will always want her family unit together."

"There’s a scene from one of my favorite movies, Wanted, where Angelina Jolie’s character shoots a curved shot. That one bullet ends up deleting a group of her peers who went against the code of their organization. The issue with that is…in order for her to take everyone else out…she had to take herself out too because she was in the line of fire. That’s the fate that I feel is awaiting me and…Ion like det."

"We grew up on SisterSister and my young mind automatically assumed that what I was seeing was what we would experience. But the older I got, the more I realized…my twin and I don’t like each other."

"We take for granted the fact that kids are so resilient and I honestly feel like that sentiment is a big bag of bull sh*t. Kids aren’t resilient because they want to be…they’re resilient because we give them no other choice."

"In this moment I have every intention of getting CPS involved because this is just one of several ongoing issues. The only reason I’m second guessing myself is because I don’t want to be another source of her childhood trauma. Calling CPS…again…would fall in that category."

"I have a skill that allows me to draw people in, just enough to meet whatever emotional need I have in that moment, but as soon as I think I might feel rejection…I walk away."

"Disclaimer: My apologies in advance if this post indicates that I’m spaced out…I was in my feelings when I wrote it."

"She takes turns outcasting her kids…while pretending she has no idea what she’s doing. Things like this is what birthed the unspoken competition between all of us and my BM always sits back and watches the breakdowns that her actions manifest."

"Full Disclosure: Contributing in this way makes me feel like I’m needed so I offer my funds to compensate for the self-worth that I’m still building."

"By the time I finished she was over it but I’d rather her be annoyed with my ability to drag a conversation out…then walking around thinking that I secretly dislike her…because I openly dislike her mother."

"I know who I have the potential of being…even when I pretend I don’t. This ‘potential’ allows me to purposely agitate those around me in order to get a reaction that will allow me to release my rage."

"Never in my life have I ever felt like a groupie…but for Kendrick Lamar’s mind…I fangirl."

"Which has always been her parenting style. She offers no context or conversation as a means for guiding her children in the right direction…she just assumes we can read her mind by deducing her behavior."

"I had an epiphany. Anytime I’ve been attracted to or attracted a man…he’s had 1 of 3 personality types. It’s either been the momma’s boy, the f*ck boy, or the nerd."

"But I know what I’m experiencing is serious so I acted under the umbrella of my ‘mania’ and gave out personal information to ‘familiar’ strangers."

"These satanic sentences were strung together right after I told her to get a job and right before she blocked me."

"There are some ‘women’, however, who purposefully mask the energy they carry…in order to trick others into believing they are who they aren’t. They specialize in adopting the persona of another woman in order to attract people, places, and things…which can also be seen as ‘destiny swapping’."

"My neck had a shingle-like outbreak, the size of a quarter, last year when I let my niece and little sister move into my shoebox. It was the first time I had ever experienced my body reacting to stress in that way and it was painful asf."

"Chileeeeeeee…I did it again. There is no easy way to say I have no self-respect because I would never want to admit something like that. But..."

"But I chose to make carrying all that weight look easy because I wanted to prove myself. Which is why they saw nothing wrong with allowing me to overextend myself. But I’m grateful for selective memory because now I suddenly remember the disorder they refuse to let me forget."
