As Told By: Under The Tree on the Tiny Hill

Column By WILDE{flower} I did a solo trio to Lafayette almost two years ago and it was one of the most amazing trips ever. I hadn’t been to Louisiana since I was twelve, the year Hurricane Katrina hit New Orleans. I was visiting family then and I was visiting family on my most recent trip. This time I went back alone to visit my family, as an adult who they hadn’t seen in years. I really needed…

As Told By: Down is Not Forward

“Head Up, Shoulders Back, Look Forward” Column By WILDE{flower} Black kids have an ongoing joke that we all grew up in the same house, because we can all tell stories of the same experiences just in different households. It’s actually really funny . We can tell identical stories for days, and as much as we laugh about the discipline, and weird superstitions, we all have something else in…

As Told By: The Celestial River

Column Written by: WILDE{flower} What if our spirit is a river that our human form drinks from in order to sustain life? I ask because, without a healthy spirit and soul, the body remains existent but it is arguable whether or not it would be liveable. What if our humane survival depends on our spiritual well being? If that is true, how does one keep up the well being of their spirit? What if…

Why You Should Get Over Your Fear Of Traveling And How It Changed My Life By: That Girl Tiarra

A common fear most people share is the fear of traveling alone or really …. being alone. Especially if you are like me and the idea of any social outing where you have to be BY YOURSELF, even for just a few minutes just freaks you out! I was the type of person that always needed someone with me while going out. Whether I was with a friend or a significant other, I felt like I couldn’t go out…

Intangible Lovers by Blair Mathis and Dyamond J.

Imagine loving from a distance… …forever. Imagine seeing that love a few times every decade. What would the in between hold? How would it even hold up? This isn’t some Romeo and Juliet fantasy. But what if the only way to continue to love the way you have is to love outside of close proximity. Because to be together would continually rid the world of its light. To speak of the Sun and the…

“Almost Great”

I wrote this piece a couple weeks ago. This is about a relationship that hasn’t run it’s course but it’s coming to an end. These two people are trying to build a relationship while in two separate places. In this scene we see the woman fighting for the relationship to work. We see her putting the effort forth to say, “Im here for you, I want to make this work.” However by the end of the piece,…

Your Fellow "Gleek", I wrote a blog about Glee and a tribute to Naya Rivera, read it!

Like millions of people all over the world I am a self-professed “Gleek”. Glee is one of my favorite shows of all time. This show was groundbreaking for so many reasons and meant so much to so many people, myself included. Also like many people I was a fan from the very beginning, and I followed it to the very end. I remember seeing the first trailer for the show and it made me stop in my tracks…

If you truly believe #BlackLivesMatter, fight with us! This is a continuous blog and it will be accompanied by another blog where I will updates on cases, charges, arrests, verdicts, and protests, even curfews. I will do my best to expose what the media tries to hide. Enough is enough, I’m tire of seeing my brothers and sisters lynched on the street. I’m tired of living in fear. I’m tired of…

DON’T TOUCH LOVE!

It’s dangerous. But in the most satisfying way.

It’s crazy. Not just what love will make you do, but what love will do to you.

Such as.

Such as those three words “I love you”.

Love makes you crazy and sane at the same time.

Love will make you cry tears of pain and tears of joy.

Love hurts but love heals.

Love lives but love kills.

Tell me again…

Dyamond J. (Book review)

…The best books, they don’t talk about things you never thought about before. They talk about things you’d always thought about, but that you didn’t think anyone else had though about. You read them, and suddenly you’re a little bit less alone in the world. You’re part of this cosmic community of people who thought…
