Indifference

Pinks

contributed by Nique Passed you by somewhere along the way…… I looked up… Looked around And I realized I was taking this trip alone…. I waited for you I held back for you I stunted my growth for you….. To encourage yours. In the end though, It’s my heart in pieces The world’s a funny place You do your part You hold up your end of this unspoken agreement Only to find yourself alone Signing on the dotted line with no witnesses present I hate empty words …..Empty actions even more Why allow me to fall for you If you weren’t ready to catch me? Why present those words If you weren’t ready to be responsible for them? Those four letters have become my enemy…

Bringing Out The Claws

Neutrals

contributed by Miss Tee My hands (particularly my nails) have always been one of my favorite parts of my body. Thanks to our great readers and my interest in a nice set of nails, I decided to write about nail health and the latest nail trends. Nails truly can be an accessory, so we have to make sure that they are HOT! First things first, this is a health and beauty section so we definitely want to make sure we discuss the health aspect of your natural nails. Nails that are pale, white, or yellow and nails with dark lines could indicate fungal infection, disease, or sickness. It’s important to note that the above mentioned does not always mean that something is wrong, but it is important to pay attention…

Sorrow

Pinks

contributed by Nique My sorrow is overwhelming…. It overtakes me on the oddest of days It surprises me Catches me off guard when all I want is to just be I don’t mind being unhappy at times It’s ok to be a little melancholy And I wish life would just let me have these moments Keep the sorrow I have substitutes Keep the sadness I have plenty of backups Because of you I find myself having to savor the simplest of moments just to remind myself that life is worth living I close my eyes tight five minutes before I wake up because I know once my eyes open, you’re not far away I drive in silence on my way home because I know any minute now you will surely…

One of Life’s Many Lessons

Pinks

by Kaydee“Humble yourself before the Lord, and he will lift you up.” James 4:10 NIVLately I’ve found myself thanking God for every single thing! Even things that seem so small are a blessing from God and I feel like I can not thank him enough. This time of year people are so busy with Christmas shopping for their loved ones, forgetting about others can easily happen. Personally, when I leave my house I see the homeless and help whenever I can. It disturbs me when I can’t because I wish I could do more. Of course you don’t want to see another human being in pain or begging others for help. I just send up a prayer and hope that something great happens to improve their day. While at work earlier…

Thoughts from a Bald Head Cutie

Pinks

contributed by Beautiful PainApparently, it has become a problem for me or any other Black woman in particular to be an independent woman; call me confused, but I thought I was being raised to learn how to survive and take care of myself. Hell, weren’t we all raised and instilled with that desire? Seems to me that being an independent Black woman is being treated as an epidemic, and quite frankly, I think more women need to fall victim to this “problem.” Honestly though, I’m a bit confused; see men sit here and complain that all they keep finding are women who are gold diggers, lazy and only want them for their money. Yet, when they find a woman that wants to spend her own money or buy her own things,…

by NiqueI wanna take my timeLet me make love to you…I wanna watch my fingertips trace your skin…I want you to feel my soul through my kisses and my heart through my touchAnd I want you to know that the term “make love” doesn’t even come closeI wanna memorize every mark, every scar, and every bruiseAnd learn the location of every freckle and every dimpleAnd as we tug and pull and toss and turnI want our movements to be slow and our bodies to be patientI want to savor youBe consumed by youAnd whether it’s my hand caressing your face or my tongue tracing your collarboneI want each and every moment to speak loveScream ecstasyAnd exaggerate intimacy in the purest formI am drawn to you like a magnetOur movements always…

The Dilema

Pinks

contributed by Sammie Jo I’ve learned a lot about myself in the past twenty three years (Soon to be twenty four – yikes!) and one of the lessons that always sticks with me is that point blank, I want what’s bad for me. Or should I say, if it’s good for me, I don’t want it? If I’m at a restaurant, chances are I’m not going to drink water with lemon. If it’s a week night, may I have a sweet tea, please? If it’s a weekend, I’ll take a Bud Lite, por favor. If I’m hungry after a long day at work, the last thing I want is a salad with grilled chicken and a side of light ranch (Don’t you hate it when you go grab…
