My Words Poetry Pieces

LET ME EXPLAIN

explain

It’s not something you just know, or feel automatically.

You don’t know its there till you’re calling a friend at 3 in the morning, on the verge of tears.

She asks you what’s wrong, sensing something the moment you say hello.

It’s nothing you say, hoping the louder and more confidently you say it, the less real it will become.

How do you explain to someone that school’s great, family’s great, hell life’s pretty dang great, but something else, small but present is building within you.

 

You refuse to say it because voicing it, saying it out loud might make it that much realer.

But what if voicing it saves you.

What if explaining the broken pieces within you brings them back together again.

So, after the third nudge from your friend you realize it’s time.

Time to save you.

With a voice just barely above a whisper, you sigh and mumble,

“Let me explain.”

STORYTIME WITH THELMS: FIRST DATE BLUES

first date

Hi babes! Happy freaking Thursday!

I’m over enthused (if you couldn’t tell), but that’s because it’s pretty much the weekend! Well at least for me it is. I don’t have class on Fridays, so I look at Thursdays as the official start to my weekend.

Before kicking back in bed and savoring the idea that I’m not waking up at the crack of ass for school, I decided to do a little story time with you babes tonight.

MORE JESUS IN JULY SERIES: WEEK FOUR

Christ

It’s another Sunday in July babes, so I’m sure you know that means. Another entry in the More Jesus in July series, chatting about Christ, is what it means. As always, sharing new bible verses and their relevancy has been amazing. It’s presented me with the opportunity to dive deeper into the word and truly breakdown scriptures and the stories behind them. If you haven’t been able to check out the series, there’s still time! The last entry in this series is next week, so before it all comes to a close, catch up. Read up here, where it all started before next week’s final entry in the series.

THE TOP THAT’S SURE TO STEAL THE SHOW AT BRUNCH

steal the show

You guys, I can’t even lie. I’m bursting at the seams with excitement, ready to get into deets on this top (that’s sure to steal the show wherever you are), but first.

Life update.

July is coming to a close and I can’t freaking wait particularly because,

1) I’m getting closer and closer to being done with summer school, so… more time to brunch with good girlfriends

2) A girlfriend of mine’s bachelorette party is coming up (so that obvi means fun drunk banter amongst babes) &

3) I’m just a sucker for the start of a new month.  Continue Reading

STAY CONNECTED: 5 WAYS TO KEEP UP WITH FRIENDS YOU DON’T SEE OFTEN

stay connected

Hi baby loves! How’s your Tuesday been?

I hope swell (do people still say swell or ever say swell? I don’t know, but I like it so I’m rolling with it).

Anyway.

With Summer definitely upon us, I can’t help but feel excited about all there is to do and see. For me, outside of the dread that is summer school, these next few months have always been a great time to reconnect with friends and loved ones. Catching late dinners with girlfriends (and finally hearing the tea on Jake’s latest sidepiece), having sushi with the guys (and hearing about why Chloe’s pissed at Charlie), or hitting the movies with my best friend (and figuring out by the end of it, we’ve seen another shitty movie) — are just a few of the ways I like to get back in the groove of things with friends.
