The True Story Of How Selena Gomez Almost Died
By: Vitmor Gomes
Tags: Selena Gomez, Celebrity, Hollywood, Music, Movies

In 2015, actress and singer, Selena Gomez announced that she had contracted Lupus.

Also known as the “disease of 1,000 faces”, Lupus is a chronic autoimmune disease that makes the immune system become hyperactive and attack normal, healthy tissue. Meaning that one’s body literally attacks itself.

In June of 2017 she found out she desperately needed a kidney transplant, as her kidneys were about to stop working, due to the disease.

But the waiting list was 7 to 10 years long.

At the time she was living with a friend called Francia Raisa, who stated:

She was asking me about my day and she grabbed a water bottle out of the fridge and tried to open it and couldn’t. Then she threw it on the floor, and she fell to the floor and started crying. I was like, “What is wrong with you?” She said: “I need a new kidney. I don’t know what I’m going to do, the wait list is 7 to 10 years.” And it just came out of me, and I said: “I’ll get tested.” I called her assistant behind her back to get the information, and that’s how the process started.

Due to this being an emergency situation, Francia did a blood and urine test, underwent a full physical and psychological evaluation, which takes about 6 months, in one single day.

And soon, they found out that Francia… was a match.

Selena stated:

She lived with me in this interesting time where my kidneys were just done. That was it and I didn’t want to ask a single person in my life. The thought of asking somebody to do that was really difficult for me. And she volunteered and did it… The fact that she was a match, I mean, that’s unbelievable.

Francia was obviously fearful for her own health, but she decided to go through with it, to save her friend, even after she was required to write a will in case she died during the surgery.

The surgery went smoothly and Selena stated:

I got to see you and tell you I love you. And then I went back to my room, and I started to attempt to fall asleep.

Unfortunately right after this, Selena started feeling excruciating pain, and was once again rushed to the operating room as her new kidney started turning inside her body, ending up breaking one of her arteries. Francia stated:

My kidney was very active, and when it turned, it broke an artery. They had to take her into emergency surgery and get a vein from her leg and build a new artery to keep my kidney in place. She could have died.

After the second scare everything got much better for Selena, as she states:

As soon as I got the kidney transplant, my arthritis went away. My lupus — there’s about a 3–5 percent chance it’ll ever come back. My blood pressure is better. My energy, my life has been better.

After this experience they were so close that Selena even got a place where they stayed while in recovery.

They couldn’t do anything and needed help to shower, go to the bathroom, walk, etc. But they stayed together through it all.

A few months later she told the world what had happened:

And in 2020 she was finally ready to show and be proud of her scar.
What happened to Drake Bell from the Drake & Josh show?

Tags: Celebrity, Hollywood, Music, Actors And Actresses, Nickelodeon

If your around my age, you most likely used to watch a Nickelodeon show called Drake & Josh.

From 2004 to 2007, this show was the biggest, best and most memorable show Nickelodeon had.

The story was about two teenagers, called Drake and Josh, who are forced to become step-brothers.

Drake, played by Drake Bell is the cool one and Josh, played by Josh Peck, is the nerdy one.

Together they had many adventures, and also many misadventures, thanks to Drake’s sister, Megan, who was played by Miranda Cosgrove.

This show was a delight to watch, and even now, it still holds up.

When the show ended they all moved on with their lives.

Miranda Cosgrove went on to play Carly Shay in the iCarly show.

Josh Peck has been involved in many projects, but none has equaled the success of Drake & Josh. His most memorable role since the show ended is Eddie in the Ice Age movies.

But Drake Bell has followed the strangest path of them all.

He’s been pursuing his dream of having a career in the music industry and he was doing okay until something changed his life.

In 2016 he went on a tour in Mexico, and the tickets literally sold out in minutes.

This made him realize that he had no future in the US and he started playing more and more concerts in Mexico until eventually he moved there.

He sold out many concerts in big venues, his songs were on top of the Mexican charts, and he was finally getting the love he wanted for something other than Drake & Josh.

Then last year he posted this on Twitter:

(My social media will now only be in Spanish. No more English)

Did you notice something different in his name?

Yes. He not only changed his name, but he also became a Mexican citizen.

Drake Bell is now Drake Campana and for the time being, he’s having the success he always dreamed of having in the music industry.

California governor recruits

Arnold Schwarzenegger,

For a Hollywood pandemic task force.

California Governor Gavin Newsom has joined forces with Arnold Schwarzenegger and other Hollywood hotshots for a new coronavirus task force.

The leader of the West Coast U.S. state announced on Friday he has launched an advisory council aimed at planning the region's economic revival that includes former Governor and movie star Schwarzenegger, Disney Chairman Bob Iger, Apple CEO Tim Cook and other business heavyweights.

Billionaire and former Democratic 2020 presidential challenger Tom Steyer will lead the initiative with Newsom's chief of staff Ann O'Leary in a bid to relaunch California's economy safely following enforced lockdown measures for the coronavirus pandemic.

"We will try to come up with a recovery plan that is worthy of California's past and pushes us to a better future and remedies some of the injustices which this COVID-19 pandemic have revealed in our society," Steyer said during the press conference.

The advisory panel will meet twice a month for the remainder of the year and updates will be provided every Wednesday starting next week.

The new economic recovery task force comes as 2.7 million Californians filed for unemployment after losing their jobs since the state enforced stay-at-home orders in response to the COVID-19 pandemic in mid-March.

What love really means, to a hopeless romantic.
By: Abimbola David
Tags: Love, Heartbreak, Love And Sex

Here goes nothing,

— i don’t know what’s eventually going to happen with this, I haven’t written in a while and this is feeling more like a mess than a well-thought outpour of emotions —

I’m currently going through a heartbreak and probably at the worst I’ve ever been at any point in my life. this isn’t my first heartbreak and even though right now I’m striving towards ensuring it’ll be my last. I’ve got quite a sense of how little truth there is to that.

Sometime in 2014, i decided to dedicate my whole entity to someone, and sacrifice my existence to ensure her happiness — in summary, i gave my all, but it turns out it was either not enough or too much, either ways she had enough and broke up with me not too long ago.

First off, here's a little note about me….

— I’m a lover, a hopeless romantic who despite all signs that will broadly say “You’ll Get Fucked Up”, i try nonetheless and i give all I’ve got into it —

so i kinda saw this coming. well, here i am now, feeling worthless, dejected, rejected, broken, and sunken in my despair. i guess it’s the price all hopeless lovers have to pay.
Imagine a heart being pushed through a shredder.
By: Kevin Costa
Tags: Poem, Hemolo, Heartbreak, Therapy, Heart

Imagine a heart being pushed through a shredder.

The slicers move at blazing speed, but the process moves slow.

The muscle tenses up and goes weak,

As sharp teeth grind the the mass through and through.

Thin, neat slivers dangle as blood gushes towards the ground.

A numbing air rushes between the slivers,

The agonizing pain is gone.

The slivers meet the chilled pool of blood as they plop into a heap on the ground.

Imagine that despite the chilled blood, and the numb, limp slivers, not all life is lost.

Miraculously, the blood is absorbed and begins to clot.

It binds together the pieces torn apart.

A certain amount of time passes and the muscle becomes strong,

And the heart once again becomes warm.

Long striations of purplish-brown scar tissue contrast the colors of deep red and pink.

Now I ask you,

Should the heart be afraid of sharp objects?
I am fucking single, and i hate it.

Tags: Breakups, Toxic Relationships, Singles, Heartbreak

soooo, it’s been a while since i broke up with my boyfriend.

we broke up somewhere between winter of 2018 and summer of 2019 , there was no sudden abruption or anything , i think the breakup happened over the course of 10 months.

(it was a 2 years relationship)

Anyway,

back to me being single , man i fucking hate it

wait, sorry — i don’t know really if i was in love with him. It was a bit motherish relationship… but yeah, thought you might wanna know why we broke up but nevermind:)

now, back to me being single…

But, nah! wait, wait, come on… he wasn’t bad— my ex — he was actually really sweet, i didn’t hate him. i hated my self when i was with him. i was just very unhappy… all there was is that i was projecting all my negative feelings onto him and then i made him feel bad about it. after 20 mini breakups, 3 or 4 emotional breakdowns and endless number of fights — with one that got physical— we finally came to terms with it and decided to stay together :D and make things work! we didn’t. i fled the country, seriously. we never really announced the breakup, we still talk — occasionally — but yeah! things are fine.

and now i’m single and i need someone to hold at night, because i feel terribly lonely.

cringy wink ;) ?

no?

ok. bye
Is it too late to start being stupid?
Tags: Random, Breakups, Vent, Midlife Crisis, Heartbreak

Just got out of a long term relationship. 4 years! I imagined my whole life with him and created goals around him. He was my first love, I think. I am not even sure if I loved him, I was just used to being with him and now I’m wondering if I am even capable of feeling love.

All through my teenage and early 20’s I kept controlling myself, not letting me make mistakes, being very rigid and an extremely stuck up b*tch. And then the relationship happened and I spent another 4 years trying to not be stupid and controlling both him and me.

Now that I look back, I feel like I haven’t really lived my life at all. I turned 26 and I haven’t experienced most of the things people my age have and feel like something is amiss. And for once, I want to stop controlling everything and just LIVE.. but I wonder if it’s too late to let me make mistakes and be stupid? is it?
Yes!!! I can’t believe I haven’t come across the word ‘paperclipping’ before, I was thinking, it’s…
By: Jane Doe
Tags: Relationships, Life Lessons, Heartbreak, Dating, Love

Yes!!! I can’t believe I haven’t come across the word ‘paperclipping’ before, I was thinking, it’s like gaslighting because it makes you feel insane but it’s not… it’s difficult because you do feel hopeful, and what’s worse is that you think, they’re being like that with you and then they’re going to move on to the actual love of their life and be everything you wanted them to be, just with someone else… but they can’t be that way for you, when they’re the ones you came after you, dragged you into this cycle, disrupted your contentment.

And you see glimpses of a normal person, and think if he messages me and he’s like that, maybe it’ll be okay, but he’s not, and he doesn’t ask about you, he doesn’t care to… I asked him that, doesn’t he want to know more about me? He said he did and he’ll try to put more effort in… why should I have to teach you to be a normal human being?

I never realized how badly you treated me

I never realized how badly you treated me

Until I had to speak the words out loud

Until I had to explain to someone

What happened between us

As I sat there letting the words spill out of my mouth

I heard for the first time

the truth.

The Top.

As the sun rises

the sky holds your hand

finds you amongst the birds

dancing in the clouds

this morning light is yours

euphoria that’s blinding.

The Bottom.

With soil as my mattress

the leaves start to climb

lost beneath the earthworms

choking in the graves

this night is all I have

and darkness is the arsonist.

the man married his wife

they swore to be for life

they danced out their hearts

and the cleric prayed his part

the man says it is his right

to please another in his sight

the wife tightly ties her shoes

and when bored, finds a muse

she is the neighbour’s mistress

he is the corp member’s baby

when they sleep at night

they think of each other’s boo

when they kiss

they taste other people’s drool

when they share pictures

they collate lots of ‘God when?’

A Little Too Late
By: Yommie
Tags: Relationships, Love, Heartbreak, Sex

A Little Too Late

I’ve known you for 27 years which is all my life, we’ve always called ourselves just friends. People would say oh you guys would make a beautiful couple and we will brush it off because you know… he’s a brother to me. We went to the same schools, played the same games, got our tattoos on the same day.

Maybe I should have noticed, the nights you stayed up to help me with school, or when you skipped work to fix my broken bed. Maybe I should have known in the way you looked at me, how you played with my hair. How you’ll randomly break into a song and we will dance and dance till we slept in a tangled mess.

You were the emergency number in my phone, my go to for everything and nothing. My gardener because I’ll always damage my plants. The first person I called when I passed my driving test, you were my first everything. We picked my first apartment together. I cried to you the day my period started. I remember having sex with you for the first time because we had both been virgins for too long and decided we will be each other’s firsts. We laughed throughout the sex and we were both so clumsy. You called me beautiful in the morning and I laughed it off. What I didn’t tell you was I thought about how your lips grazed across mine and how your thick penis pounded me for weeks to come.

Amaka asked me if I loved you and I laughed hard, abeg o, Nnamdi is just my friend, basically my brother, love kwa? You looked at me and asked if I had any feelings for you, your hands were shaking, your lips quivering, I laughed heartily and said yes now, how a sister loves her brother. How could I tell Amaka?

Sigh the day the call came in, your voice sounded loud and happy, Nana I’m proposing next week you said, let’s go pick rings it’ll be fun. Nnamdi how dare you? How dare you leave me? Curse me for not telling you I loved you, curse you for not seeing through my walls. Here I am, holding all my love for you in my arms, shattered, broken, I love you Nnamdi. I know I’ll attend the wedding, I’ll smile and dance and help with the planning but my heart is broken.

I don’t remember what happened next, I remember the room got blurry and my tongue was tied, felt like I had eaten hot coal. Damn! This is pain. My chest was burning. I blurted out a quick I’m happy for you and hung up. How do I tell you you’re the only one I wanted to walk down the aisle with?

I realized I was in love with you a little too late.

You… were my happily ever after.

Your favorite neighborhood slay queen

It is currently 4:45am on this cold morning. I haven’t slept at all. Why does this always happen to me? I got attached to fast again.

I know that I’m mature for my age but why does this have to happen every time? I am perfectly fine with being alone but it’s different this time. I really thought it would work out. I guess I’m dumb for that. All I want is someone that will pretend to care, it doesn’t matter if they don’t actually mean it. Just someone to pretend.

My world is crumbling at my feet. My heart. It feels like it has been shattered like a mirror when punched. He came, dug his fingers through my skin, gave me hope then ripped it out and slammed it on the ground. Of course. My heart is made of glass, shattered into a million pieces.

I physically can’t move. There is a knife through my body. One through my heart, one through my stomach, ropes tied to my feet and hands so that I cannot move. It demands to be felt. I can’t do this. Trembling when alone. Now to only keep the trembles in check around my family. They can’t know! I don’t want their pity. I want him. Only him.

I want him to tell me that he was kidding, that he loves me. That we aren’t just friends, that his body aches to be around me, that he thinks of me. No he is a dumb boy, probably never even thought of me until I said I like you. Never stopped to think, she’s been short with me. I hope she’s okay. Never asked to hang out. Never actually cared. Why doesn’t anybody care about me?

Silent Love

She wanted that love...where he only saw her and no one. She wanted him to speak about her as his love his soulmate. She wanted that crazy possessiveness he held for other people only for her herself. But he never said or felt any such thing. He just felt she was nice and he was comfortable talking to her. He wanted to touch her body but never her soul. Talking to her about all his love affairs, his crushes, his heartbreak and all she wanted was to scream out loud..

She just hoped one day he listened to her heart beating for him. He listened to how she silently hoped one day he would speak of her to the whole world..

She just silently walked away one day and he never heard her leave....

This so heartbreaking, John.

I feel you, sometimes it’s hard to have a long-distance relationship. Especially with this c19 shit, travel ban anywhere, and you can’t meet your beloved one in person. Me, too, can’t meet my partner because Germany is still strict about traveling. Somewhat, c19 worsens the situation because you don’t know when you can meet them. Plan changes. And any uncertainty in between.

Maybe you both just need more time to be alone and think more about the best for the relationship. After all, I wish the best for you both :)

Merry Christmas, anyway! May the joy belong with you, John!
The short break
By: Cait Hartley
Tags: Loving, Heartbreak, Reconnect

Many encounters and yet I always felt out of place and wrong. I met you unexpectedly, yet we clicked so well instantly. So quickly, you frightened me with how much I cared. I felt I met my twin flame. You were my other half and the person who understood so well. You embraced me and cared for me beyond what I knew and did not give out conditional love to me. While you so very rarely said the word love to me you showed me every day, every hour in actions, and enveloped me in love through everything.

You pushed me away so you could break us off but you did it thinking of me long-term. However, you hurt more than anything. the flame so quickly turned into a house fire and burnt me alive. Nightmares haunting me when I finally could shut my eyes and rest. The thought of you breaking a faucet within me. My insides tearing within me, doubling me over when I sob. And yet months later, I speak to him. I tell him he was wrong to make our choice on his own and turn the lights off on me. through the months of pain and time to build resentment, none was built. I speak to him and melt my hurt away. Now, this isn't a fairytale and I don't mean to romanticize this. I still hurt, flashbacks forcing themselves into my head, me fearing the unknown. But I understand why he acted like this, he truly did so to give me the best chance at happiness in the long run, to him. He was wrong, but he thought he was acting right. He is truly flawed but I am more, no excuse to him but I understand more than anything.

So many hugs we gave.

I don’t want to

More pretend.

It was so big and so beautiful

Our love romance

That I still feel the heat

The vows we exchanged.

It was so beautiful, so sweet

Our way of loving

That still sway in the air

Sometimes promises we made.

Our way of loving

She was so crazy, so crazy

The kisses we stole.

So crazy and crazy

Had our love undone

That I still feel in my chest

The hugs we gave.

And now

It’s all over

Finished

Our novel

When I see you go

With your walk

Lordly,

I’m sorry to be born

And grow

An infinite longing

From your gentle body

Random Thoughts on Grief

Random Thoughts on Grief

When we cut, we expect our bodies to rush blood and other fluids to the spot to heal the cut... It happens every day... This is exactly the same thing that happens when we are emotionally cut.. the pain feels different but the healing process is the same. Instead of fluids, our emotional scars are healed through grieving and tears..

It's never a good idea to disrupt that healing process no matter how uncomfortable it might be.. peeling scabs or squeezing out the puss prematurely usually leave unhealed scars that take forever to heal and never go away.. the same thing happens when you disrupt the emotional healing process. When someone is grieving, do not try to cheer them up prematurely. No matter how uncomfortable it may be.. let them go through that healing process. They will be better for it in the end..

Our job is to make sure they know they have support and that they are not alone. You cannot speed up the time it takes to heal a broken leg, nor should you hasten the time to heal a broken heart!! The body has a system to fill that emptiness. Triage starts with grief but it's eventually replaced with every positive memory of that loved one you can think of... That's when you know you're on the other side of grief.. you'll always miss that person and the scar will be there to remind you of what they meant to your life.. embrace and enjoy those moments like you would if you were telling the story of how you fell from a tree as a kid.. that scar on your knee is a badge of honor.. so is that loving memory!!
Moonlight

Tags: Poetry, Love, Heartbreak, Sadness

When the sun starts to fade and the moon starts to rise; and the stars shine out in the dark abyss of the night sky — When everyone shuts their eyes and falls into a deep sleep, that’s when I think of you. When no one can hear my quiet sobs and the sun can’t radiate any happiness my way.

I play a sad song or two and just think of you, and I remind myself that you’re gone now as much as I want you to be here with me. Cuddling me and reminding me that I’m yours and that there’s nothing in the world; except for you and me.

The darkness envelops me, just like the sadness and just like the moon comes out at night so do the memories of you and I — and just like the stars you are so far away yet shine so bright in my thoughts. So when I’m all alone and the moonlight shines through my window illuminating a path through the darkness I’ll think of you, forever and always.
The reading of the heart

The reading of the heart

The woman you knew

The woman you would know

The lexicon of places guarded by demons

If she would let you

When she let you go

And another with warmth opens every turning page in beauty

This is the universal journey of a librarian of dreams

And the reader of the precious permitted shared persists

Somehow enough

Somehow everything

Let me keep what was

Let me keep what was

And honor what is and what is yet to be

Be at ease with each reading of the heart

Never turn away that you may turn to what is next

Thus the reading of the heart
I’m fragile.
Tags: I Miss You, Idols, Heartbreak, Heart, Poetry

I’m fragile.

I get emotional easily.

I can’t cry though,

My tears seem to have dried out.

But I still get very emotional.

Something inside me crumbles every time I see your picture.

Sometimes it’s a happy feeling,

Like I’m glad you exist and I get to notice you.

But sometimes,

You can even hear the shattering of my heart as it breaks because no matter how intense the feeling might get,

No matter how many details I know about you,

How many minutes of your voice I listen to,

You don’t know me.

You can’t say you love my voice,

Or the color of my eyes,

Or even my smile,

Because you haven’t seen it yet.

You haven’t met me yet.

But I see you,

And even though I can’t cry,

My soul does it for me.

At first it’s a proud tear of how far you’ve come.

But then I get nostalgic and I think,

“How is it possible to miss someone I’ve never met in person?”

It feels like I have, though,

But you haven’t.

You don’t know me and I’m not as an importar part of your life as you are of mine.

And that brings me pain.

Because I want to be one of the reasons you smile,

I want to be able to hug you and make you laugh,

To give at least a portion of happiness like you give to my life.

So I’ll keep hoping,

That one day, sure enough,

Our paths will cross,

Our eyes will lock,

And my heart will shatter no more.
Abandoned City

How can you state,

To a crumbling city skyline,

That it is beautiful to you –

When you are not staying?

How can you scoop up the tiles and glass,

From buildings,

And pretend to care for it –

When you are not willing to figure it out?

The same goes for the tourists.

The same goes for the locals.

Why would you purchase a scrappy print

To write on the back,

And scrawl another address –

When you have not experienced the real thing?

Where can you go,

Once you realise your time was short,

Sealed with spattered spittle of laughs –

When hopeful looks and long embraces could have been considered?

But it’s simply city trash, right?

It’s not as wonderful,

Or as sleek,

Or as perfect as other places.

It is not home.

It could be home.

But it simply is not.

Home for you is insecurity

And a life

Pretending to be someone else.

So.

How can you perch on a rooftop,

And whisper to the city,

Telling her that she is very much wanted?

But not by you?

Yes, the civilians have run amok and away.

The streets are flooded with waves overgrown ivy vines

And the cracks in the road are not filled.

The air is cold,

And bites even though the sun does acknowledge the city in the mornings.

But the city still holds host to many great things to be discovered,

By the right person.

The gates once shut out of misunderstanding and abandonment,

Are now open.

The city is alive.
I was left behind, Trying to figure it out If what I feel is strong enough to last. I was shaped to be his, So how can I be mine When now I’m searching to be yours.

If you ever find yourself in

the depths of thrashing seas

the eye of a tornado

or a starless night sky

/

Dear one

you must know:

waters will still

storms will pass

and the sun

will surely rise

/

like you.

unmarked

i wonder if i left indentions on your bones

scars scattered across ribs worn thin

like guitar strings strung too many times

did it change you?

i sifted through your skin like silk

weaving my hands through your unfamiliar fabrics until they frayed

i draped you over me

stretching you out

delving into the dips of your shoulders

my cradle of skin and bones

i hunkered down within you

like a sparrow within the spiraling trunk of a dying tree

i crumbled into your very core

and yet

i’m not certain i even left

a mark
Will Always Remember …

I know you still feel my touch on your skin like a heat wave consuming your body like countless wildfires

Feeling my lips slam. into yours like two ships crashing together and sinking into the Atlantic

My hands traveling through all your insecurities, tracing your figure, a beautiful sculpture of a body like a renaissance statue in a modern age

My voice whispering into the depths of your being like an angelic choir chanting the promise of an eternal happiness

My body becoming your home and a dream you never want to wake up from like Alice, seems like a fantasy but feels like reality

I know you remember it all, because how could you not

I became your reality

I became everything you ever wanted

I was the one, but you weren’t

And you knew that too

And you will continue to lie to all the people that come after me, because deep down you wish it was me instead

And you will always remember.

Come, Baby,

Come to me,

come to me

Day and night

I spend hours to find a solution

I don’t know a trick to win back love, your love

I hesitated and it was fatal

Baby, I hurt you in vain

So I ask your forgiveness

You know well

That without you I’m nobody

Only you make me happy

Come well, honey

Come to me

Look for me

I’m tired of living in disillusionment

And only you can save me

You are the solution

You have compassion

I need your hand

Look for me

Only you make me happy

Only you make me happy

I won’t lie

I tried to forget you

I thought I was able to find another love

But I don’t want to

And so I wait for you

Get this unhappy urge off my chest

Oh, my love,

Have compassion,

I need your hand
Stop Lying to Your Kids About Santa

Stop Lying to Your Kids About Santa

When my kids were growing up, they had no idea that their mother was Mrs. Santa Claus in disguise.

The day after Thanksgiving was when our Christmas traditions started. First there was choosing the perfect Christmas tree at the local tree farm. It had to be a Blue Spruce evergreen tree, no more than six feet tall. The tree roots needed to be in a ball wrapped in burlap so we could plant it in the yard after Christmas was over. Since the tree was always placed in a corner in the living room, we were more lenient about bare spots that could be hidden in the back of the tree. It also made standing in the freezing cold to find a tree end faster, too. Apparently there is no such thing as the “perfect” tree.

Our Christmas tree was placed in the garage for a few days inside a large galvanized tub so it could be watered and kept alive until New Year’s Day. It was in the garage to acclimate from freezing temperatures to a pleasant 75°F every day. Once the tree was in the house, it was a family project to decorate it better than the year before.

Weeks of baking an enormous variety of Christmas cookies, candies, and pumpkin rolls was the next tradition. There’s nothing better than the licorice aroma of Pizzelle cookies to clear your sinuses. You could only make two at a time, but they were worth it.

We also made the mandatory pilgrimage to the local mall so the kids could get their pictures taken on Santa’s lap. They screamed when they were babies. A few years later, once they knew that the big hairy guy in the red suit would give them presents, they couldn’t wait to see Santa and give him their wish list.

It was fun wrapping all the Christmas presents while the kids were asleep. It was an adventure finding places to hide them until Christmas Eve. The biggest challenge was assembling large items like play houses and bikes, and then hiding them. But it was all part of the tradition.

I Met Someone. And That Someone Left.

Photo by Roberto Nickson on Unsplash

I met someone, he makes me smile, he makes me laugh.

I met someone who makes me feel like I can forget about the pain.

I met someone who I can finally open up to.

He makes me realise the romance behind the tragedies.

I met someone who takes me out to fancy restaurants and shows me off, he makes me feel like a star.

I met someone I can bring home, the type of person I can watch mafia films and Fast and Furious with.

I met someone who allows me to speak my mind, to explore my options and contemplate everything I think and feel.

Someone who won’t judge me. Someone who is willing to give me advice and listen to every word I say.

They’re the first person I call, text and think about every day and every night.

I met someone who I can make love to, the type of person who doesn’t judge me for the rolls on my stop or the lumps and scars on my body.

I met someone who makes love to me without ulterior motives.

He makes me feel beautiful even when I take off the clothes, the makeup and let my hair down.

I met someone who made me realise the type of love I’m deserving of.

I met someone who’ve I’ve fallen in love with. I’ve met the person I may want to marry, go house hunting with and have children with. The type of person I wanna take with me to my home away from home.

The type of person who’s become a home to me.

Especially when I had no home.

I met someone who’s made me believe in love again.

jacket

my cold bruises bleed

sludge that drips in icicles down my sleeves

i brush them away

and they crackle into the floorboard

nestled in your camouflage jacket

you ask me if I’m cold

i say yes

you don’t offer your jacket

Heartbreak doesn’t begin when the relationship ends; your partners heart starts breaking when you are physically present but emotionally distant.
The morning sun

The sun, the sun, the sun.

Each setting brings the promise of another one,

of a night that cannot be undone,

and a dawn we cannot outrun.

Yet I’ve no valid position to criticise

for I am owing to its daily marathon,

the days with you I have so prized,

and fear I must have overdrawn.

A thousand times I wished

the moon stood shining on your face,

a thousand times I wished

the birds had left their songs unsung,

a thousand times I wished

to stay in your tender embrace,

and a thousand times I wished

the morning would never come.
FROM ME TO YOU (Loosing a Friend)

FROM ME TO YOU (Loosing a Friend)

Omo!

They say break up is hard (agreed) but have you ever unconsciously, gradually lost a friend?? That shit hurts like a bitch, fah!😫

I Lost him! I lost my best friend of 2 years!

Talk about the declining communication rate between us, and the rate at which my best friend side tracked me.

We started having less to talk about, and few to laugh about. Gradually "B" became a stranger. From best friends to status viewer, trust me, you don't want to know.

His words, "I get so tired I don't have the energy to talk and chat for so long."

But with those he could text for so long and even beyond, he did.

It became awkward, heck it was awkward.

Most especially when I got something bubbling to talk about and he's not there. Or when I need someone to lament to but can't find him. When I need to cry my heart out and he was away. It was insane but like they say, we move! But how can I move?

• I had gotten so used to "B"

• I was closer to him.

• I without restrictions told him everything, even my worst fears.

• And I still never forget our paramount dreams to eat in Paris after giving the loudest ovation to each other for winning the Grammy.

I miss "B" yes, but then I still have something to hold on to when I miss him badly.

“Memories of this good O’ld times.”

With "B" I made memories enough to probably last a life time.

It's hard enough already, he was my closest one! And poof! He was gone.

All I then had to hold on too were memories, only memories😫 but then this memories lifted my spirit at the lowest moments.

I’d laugh when I remember something "B" would have said when I find myself in a particular situation, those moments would be the most hilarious.

I would also smile when I remember what he would have said when work became tiring.

I can’t exactly say whatever I had with Abiola is over, but while the certainty lasted, it was extreme golden and fun, and while it looked like we parted, we parted with a lot of good memories.

Great memories are healthy, so endeavour to make beautiful memories with those you got by your side, in your corner and your space.

With your friends, acquaintances, colleagues and family,

Keep the Love that exists burning while it lasts.

If the love isn't gonna last forever, you aren't entitled to them fah,

Then vibe till whenever, relax and bask in the pleasure of having this people in your corner.

And if it doesn’t last forever (well nothing does),

These memories will as long as you draw breath.

Oya,

Sho fun mi baby, (Tell me baby)

What kind of vibes run in your circle?

That friend you're close to,

Did you make awesome memories with them or you had them just pass by?

If you don’t get what you want, but you get what you need…
Tags: Acceptance, Heartbreak, Starting Over, Self Love, Love

How many times have we desired something, or someone, so much, that when everything seems to work, and we are near to getting it, it goes away, it flushes like water in our hands and there’s nothing more left than our feelings, the pending desire, and the emptiness of not having reached what we had wished for…

About half a month ago, I went out on a date with a guy I had suddenly lost connection with about a year ago. He was really nice, took me out for coffee and then to a mirador.

The night looked very elegant with her dark blue gown and very starry. The place is amazing at any time since it’s a spot that is quite secret but once reached, gives you the most amazing view of the city.

We were there, sitting in his car and talking about how our lives had gone since we last meet up. Note here, this guy and I met several times for coffee and talks, but when he asked me for something more serious, I was very honest and told him I didn’t feel ready for something new. It had been several months since my last break up but I knew I didn’t have the emotional capacity for something new.

So, this time around, things gotten over, our lives had changed so much, we reached out and decided to start over again where we left off, as friends of course. I had such a fun time talking to him, could even say, things got interesting… until it hit me…

I had been, listening to one of my playlists, where, suddenly, the forbidden songs were playing. I saw him in the eye and had a flash back of what I had felt before. I was never going to listen to those songs with the person that had dedicated them to me and no guy was ever going to be him, as much as I wanted to fall like that again.

As if it wasn’t enough, I was only a few blocks away from where I had spent such beautiful nights and moments with whom I had called the love of my life once. My face was other, but I was mad. It’s been over a year and I’m still thinking about you, while you’re with the girl you changed me for…

In a ramble of feelings, this guy leaned to kiss me softly and when I had promised to just have a friendly night date, became hotter, in the search to erase my past.

I failed. I knew that I was never going to erase him, and that’s how you accept things as they are.

See, I’ve come to believe that, in love matters, love isn’t enough and not because you love someone does it mean it’s the best choice.

We rarely will get what we want. It’s exhausting to be fighting, it’s senseless and gets you no where. And maybe you’ll cry for over a year for something that might seem short or insignificant to others, but at the end of the day, acceptance is the key. To know, we rarely get what we want, we get what we need, like it or not.

— I passed by our apartment, and now I can say, I might love you forever, but nothing hurts for a life time, and I have stopped choosing you too.
A strange topic called love
Tags: Love, Heartbreak, Lovestory, Love Letters

Although love is described in a very beautiful way, sometimes it only makes us cry, but that’s just life, you miss people who don’t miss you, you love those who don’t love you. You are good to those who doesn’t deserve it. And it is incredible how you can love the wrong person so much; but at the end you are going to fall in love many times until you find the love of your life and each time you will be one heartbreak away.

Love is a feeling that we all have experienced at some time in our lives, and looking deeply at it, I’ve come to realize that it is like a type of game, which gets bigger and better or you just end up losing.

Putting aside what was said, there would be a day where you’ll fall in love with the most unexpected person, the one who will love you so much for who you are and for what you are not, who will look at you like nobody else has, who will make you smile even with eyes full of tears and help you see the world in a completely different way, someone who wants to be by your side without you asking, who understands you with just one look …

And there is gonna be the moment where you will realize that it was all worth your wait.

We Broke Up

Only this dog understands my real feelings, Picture by Author

I was being his favorite chocolate cake

Baked for hours in the microwave

But I was startled when I saw

He was hogging on like a pig

On someone else’s plate

She had the red velvet cake

He was roaming around astray

Hence we broke up…

you didn’t love me anymore
I’m Not Easy to Forget
By: Arundhati Thakur
Tags: Relationships, Heartbreak, Poems On Medium, Poetry, Love

I should’ve warned you

I’d not be easy to forget,

I’d crawl under your skin

and keep my space vacant,

I’d build a house in you

that you can’t rip apart,

I’d reign over your dreams

to make you crave my touch,

I’d be the one you run to when

the rum and regret take over,

and when you ever love again,

you’d try to find me in her,

You can try purging the memories,

But I’m telling you now my love,

I’m not easy to forget.
