I Promise You a Woman

I know what kind of girls you’re used to. I know that kindergarten fingers on small hands don’t know how to hold you like I do see she pushes buttons on your heart like that cause she’s not hip to the fact that a man can lose focus too but see she’s just a little… Continue reading

Bad Relationship Advice in Movies

I don’t speak much about relationships on this blog. But what I don’t understand is how grown men and women continue to model their relationships after these Hollywood style movies, especially within the Black community.
