Dealing with “pint” people
For as long as I could remember, I’ve always struggled with this idea of doing more for people than I am getting from them. It seems like I’m always giving, giving, and giving all that I have with little to no return. Whether it be from friends, associates, mates, or family, you may deal with […]

Requested: Sex Before Marriage (A Man’s View)

What’s Love Got to do With It?
Maya Angelou once said, “have the courage to trust love one more time, and always one more time.” We can all draw our own understandings from quotes. My understanding of the quote is that even when we’re hurt, we should always trust love again. Not necessarily from the same person (don’t get me wrong). […]

The Here & Now
It’s funny how one occurrence in our lives can change us drastically. One day we’re carrying on business as usual and the next, we’re almost completely new beings. As you know by know, recently I’ve reached some hurdles in life and instead of jumping them and continuing on about my race, I stopped running. I’ve […]
Read moreMy Hero. No Cape Included.
Every once in a while, we encounter heroes. Unlike the ones in the movies and books, these don’t wear the capes and tights, and they don’t have masks to hide their identity. However, the heroes in our lives are always on call when we need them, whether we know it or not. One of my […]
