Black Love: A Spoken Word

In the spirit of Black History Month and the season of love, I felt it was necessary to share my take on black love and how incredibly important it is.

Black Love: A Spoken Word
thecut.com

When I think of black love,I wanna love someone the way that Whitley loved Dwayne and how Bow loves Dre or how Gina loved Martin or Monica loved Quincy...

I wanna be caressed by his silky dark chocolate skin,

be sunkissed by his soft juicy lips,

and adorned by his scandalously seductive smile

Black Love is something rare, I tell you...

It's a chemical compound that when combined with the perfect elements can be a force to be reckoned with...

It's a sense of essence, a feeling of power that literally screams BLACK POWER

Black Love is a vibe, It's a vibe that takes you to a whole notha level, out of this world, and then back down to earth because its power makes you feel oh-so whole,

whole like that last puzzle piece to your Kehinde Wiley masterpiece,

It gives you that undying strength, to show the world that we stand together like one love, as Bob Marley said...

Black love is nice and warm and rich like a hot a fudge sundae, it's just right and always hits the spot.

It's crisp and clean like a fresh pair of Nikes,

right out the box

Black love feels like royalty and regality,

He is my king and I am his queen,

When I thrive, he thrives, when I cry, he cries because he makes sure that I don't go through my pain alone.

Black love is something that can't be explained and can only be felt...

We are like supernovas riding the milky way as we merge our souls like the star-crossed lovers that the great power above intended for us to be…

Black love is a raisin in the sun, a beacon of life, a diamond in the rough, patiently waiting to be cleaned and polished, ensuring a happiness that lasts for all eternity...

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

Challah vs. Easter Bread: A Delicious Dilemma

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.
