I didn’t need the monitors to tell me.The room changed before the numbers did—the air grew still,like the walls themselves were holding their breath. Her chest rose once more,then not again.Her head tilted to the left,and in that single, final motion,something inside me split in ways I can’t name. It wasn’t just the sound of … Continue reading The Silence of Deaths Echo

I Didn’t Know I Was Breaking Until…
I didn’t know I was breaking… Until I broke. My heart didn’t just crack—it dismantled. And truth be told, the reconstruction still looks like a demolition site. I didn’t know breaking meant being mentally bagged, emotionally bruised, and physically exhausted by the weight of people who kept reaching while I kept giving. I didn’t know … Continue reading I Didn’t Know I Was Breaking Until…

Because the truth—when it ain’t been heard in a while—don’t always land soft. Let’s talk about it. Some of y’all think love means letting you run wild. Think loyalty means never … Continue reading TABIT| Accountability Ain’t Attack: You Just ain’t used to Being Called Out, Love. ❤️

Aired on Lifetime in March 2025 First, let me say this: This isn’t a review. I’m not a film analyst. I don’t dissect camera angles or critique performances. But I am a member of the target audience.

Talk About It Thursday: Lonely in a Room Full of People…The Ache Nobody Sees
Picture this. You’re sitting at a table. Laughter all around you. Clinking glasses. Stories being shared. Smiles stretching wide across faces. And you? You’re nodding. You’re smiling back. You’re there… but you’re not. Because inside, your heart feels like it’s folding in on itself. Like you could scream—and no one would hear it over the … Continue reading Talk About It Thursday: Lonely in a Room Full of People…The Ache Nobody Sees
Been Him
You been Him… But your shine don’t hit the same. I waited through shadows, prayed through silence— but you just played the game. Held the door. Lit the path. Softened the landing where you could begin… But I’ve been waiting too long, and my grace is wearing thin. ~Kae Jaye
The Weight No One Sees
This week was heavy. And not just because of one thing—everything felt like too much. People see the smile. They hear the laugh. And they assume I’m okay. Strong. Unshaken. Unbothered. But the truth? No one ever stops to ask if the strong one is even holding on. They don’t ask if I’ve cried more … Continue reading The Weight No One Sees
Who Sees The Strong One?
Today I’m tired. Tired of being told to be pleasant while people pour their mess onto me. Tired of being humble while the world chips away at me like I’m made of stone and not spirit. They say, “Don’t return the energy.” But how am I supposed to keep giving when the leeches keep draining? … Continue reading Who Sees The Strong One?
The Grace I Give
Journal Reflection: “The Grace I Give” I give grace because I know what it feels like to be overwhelmed, to carry more than I can explain, to be in a space where words won’t come but feelings won’t rest. I’ve made room for people to process, to stumble, to be unsure—because I don’t love conditionally. … Continue reading The Grace I Give
Moment
Couldn't have dreamed of a better scenario, A better specimen to have created such a show. An exchange of energy so pure and high vibrational, That nothing about it presented itself as conditional. Any other time, I would have stayed in my lane, But you... you created a moment that initiated a main change. A … Continue reading Moment
My Letter to 2024
Dear 2024,You have been a whirlwind, haven’t you? You stormed in with chaos, leaving no corner of my life untouched. It felt like an unrelenting spiral at times—blow after blow, heartbreak after heartbreak. Yet, as I stand here reflecting on this year, I cannot help but acknowledge the depth of your lessons. You tested me, … Continue reading My Letter to 2024
Time
Remember when everything seem to flow with you so smoothly? When there was love, joy and a sense of peace? Remember that time when you sheltered me with serenity? Remember when time stood still with just a glance of your eyes? When the blue was an escape, prefect breathing room for an ocean on the … Continue reading Time
She
She grew weary, awaiting the moment a true love connection would find her. She became lost in her fear; the fear of someone wanting to love her beyond the scope of beauty. She gave way to the seemingly hopelessness she felt, recollecting the failed attempts before. She became blind, to the outstanding love one had … Continue reading She
Just A Ramble
Living up to the ideology that those around you have of you can be a very overbearing amount of pressure. Trying to balance the reality of who you are and what you are conflicts with the person they believe you to be. How do you push through without conforming but still trying to please both … Continue reading Just A Ramble
