We were alike in wanting to be free of the predestined rules of our families.
Rescued
“Guest room, down the hall. You need a lot of things tonight, and my dick etching its place in your soul isn’t one of them.”
“You like playing with fire, huh? Just because I’m not trying to make this about sex, Monroe, doesn’t mean I won’t pick your thick ass up and push this dick all in yo’ stomach.”
She was the first person to get out of the family business. You can say I followed her lead.”
A man with a heart was the sexiest thing I’d ever seen.
“Sometimes choosing you can open the doors for others to do the same. Never feel guilty for choosing you—even if it’s over family.”
And her name is me and she loves me more that you’ll ever know!!! Or what ever Tamia had said
“I’ve seen firsthand how drugs affect our communities. The children are the ones left to suffer most of the time. I can’t change my family's past, but I can help to change the future.”
“I find my peace in knowing that every day I wake up, I’m living the life I chose and breaking the toxic cycle I don’t care to be a part of.”
“Make that the last time you negatively mention your weight or size. You are what you tell yourself you are.”
This felt personal, and I am going to believe that the author was talking to me :)
it’s almost impossible not to dream as you watch the sun set.
People often say get you head out of the clouds. But I find the clouds the best place to find and collect your thoughts
“Anything you want in this world, I’m gon’ put it in your hands. You understand?”
Ok Sir!
“I’m a plant daddy.
I’m in love with this. Black man gardening loving his plants!!!
Defying family tradition,
Breaking gen curses. Starting generational wealth healing trauma all the good and positive things we and our children deserve
“Ask what’s making you feel uncomfortable,”
“You need time to learn yourself, to learn what inspires you, to learn your hopes and dreams, to figure out your boundaries.” I paused, trying to figure out the right words for the last thing I wanted to say. “Monroe, baby, when you do all that and when you’re healed, you better believe I’ma be there with open arms, waiting for you to choose a nigga. Not because I’m the only nigga that’s ever treated you like you deserve or because I be digging yo’ fucking guts out, but choose me because you know who the fuck Monroe is and how I fit into your life.”
You asked me to heal you, but I can’t. I can only offer my hand to hold while you heal yourself.
