THOUGHTS, TALKS + MUSINGS
IN THE FORM OF STRAIGHT TALK, POETRY + AUDIO BLOGS
I write from my experience as a human.
Blissbul moments,
Brutal moments,
Moments of contemplation.
I've learned my toughest lessons,
And wisdom from my scars.
Read. Listen. Reflect.
If it’s not a “F*ck yes,” it’s a “No.”
Against all “logic,”
I’ve made some wild decisions in my life.
Some pretty gutsy decisions in my life.
Some decisions where I paved,
My own path.
And some where I could hear,
My “logic” say,
“What the f*ck are you doing Christina?”
We Fear The Responsibility
I believe that humans in the silence of their own thoughts,
With themselves,
Will admit the truth.
But will they do anything about it?
Have You Ever Felt Regret?
My friend sent me a voice message.
Five seconds long.
“How are you not afraid to do anything?”
MY FATHER ASKED ME
My father asked me,
”Do you want to get plastic surgery on your scar?”
At the time we couldn’t afford it.
NON-NEGOTIABLES
Three years ago.
Mid pandemic.
I had to face a really hard truth.
A painful truth.
And for the first time in my life,
Instead of thinking,
About what I want.
I thought about what I don’t want.
WHY DO WE STAY AT THE TABLE?
This one cuts,
Right through the bullshit.
Simple to understand.
Sometimes impossible to act upon.
Most of the time when you do,
It feels like an out of body experience.
An awakening.
A catharsis.
Literally a shedding of the old Self.
DON’T BE AFRAID TO LOSE PEOPLE
Don’t be afraid to lose people.
Be afraid,
Of losing yourself by pleasing,
Everyone around you.
DECIDING WHO YOU ARE, IS DECIDING WHO YOU’LL NEVER BE AGAIN
Sometimes deciding who you are, is deciding who you’ll never be again.
WHAT IS MORE TRAGIC?
I had a moment over the weekend.
These kind of moments don’t happen often.
I found myself sitting in the theatre.
The credits of the film scrolling.
And there I was, still sitting.
When a film engulfs you without your permission.
I was captivated.
TO FOLLOW YOUR INTUITION, IS ACTIVISM.
It’s a practice, to follow your intuition. It’s lonely, to follow your intuition.
QUITTING.
The word quitting,
Has such a negative connotation.
As if we fail,
When we quit.
So we, continue to fight.
For the relationships,
We don’t really want to be in.
ARE YOU HEALED? SHE ASKED.
“Are you healed,” she asked me? ”No,” I answered. Healed, is not a destination.
