As an author, I read a lot. I not only read books, but I read articles, blogs, research, etc. I want to learn as much as I possibly can. Being a literary author is like being a contemporary artist. You can write about a variety of genres and find an audience everywhere. Writing is one of the most honest art forms out there in my opinion. #You can choose what and how to write, even if it's a lie. People will still read it. Stick to what You know. Be You Always!!! Being an author isn't a job for me! It's who I am.

To You Abel

I finally did it for you boy. I finally confronted him. I told him everything.  Now it’s up to him to come for you baby boy. That man, you will know one day as your daddy, has so much potential. He is so intelligent, kind, humble, and goes above and beyond for his community.

He lives the rinse, recycle, repeat mindset everyday. He is the reason that term came about. We were having a conversation one day, and he was stressed about working all the time, and never having time to do anything, but sleep. He pegged the term, just rinse, recycle, repeat!  In other words, to live the same schedule everyday without change or growth or happiness. Most people seem to live this way, and are stressed everyday. Walking around the shell of the person they once were. They are miserable, hate life, hate people, and just live in a grumpy mood everyday. When I heard how he felt, that made me start thinking about how I was living.

I decided I wanted to change. I decided I wanted better in my life. At the time, I was in a very turbulent, toxic, and abusive relationship. I leaned on him for support, and we became friends. We talked everyday, and he helped me to see myself through his eyes. It was the first time in awhile, I felt happy about being myself. He is such a great conversationalist, and he doesn’t even see himself the way I do. Now, he’s just a shell of the person I once adored, admired, and loved. He is just like me! He is the reason I became this version of myself. He made me see potential in myself, and he didn’t even have the guts to turn me down until I confronted him three years later, and only after you were born.

You see, he doesn’t love himself because he was broken the same way he broke me. He wants love, but he’s too scared to give in. I know because that’s who I became after he broke me so much. Every man I try to love doesn’t love themselves either. They start to ignore me, and I eventually run. I sit in nature, I write, I travel, I vlog. It’s the only way the obsessive thoughts go away. Writing how I feel, showing kindness, humbleness, showing myself beneath the pain. It’s the only way I return back to me again, and continue on this path to self-realization.

Your daddy is one of the most stubborn men I have ever known. He is a Taurus, and his true personality shows through when he is adamant and passionate about something. He really is
