Rae Lewis-Thornton Speaks
Friendship Should Not Hurt
January 3, 2013 I blog a lot about relationships but not so much about friendships. For sure they can be as wonderful and toxic as a "relationship." I was thinking a lot about friendship because the girl in the apartment up over me was at it again. There is always some kind of drama and it typically begins in the wee hours of the morning.
The Familiar Is Within You
November 27, 2012
I seemed to be stuck in this funk last week. Well sort of but not quite totally. There was always something to keep me from going over the edge.

Just Keep Walking
October 25, 2012
AIDS is a dark disease that takes me to a dark place some days. I try my best to be better than AIDS but some days are harder than others.
You Still Dating That Person Cause Why? Change Your Location -- Part 2
October 22, 2012 I spent almost five years with that man waiting on him to marry me. And looking back, I can't blame nobody but myself. I should have changed my location but I stayed stuck out of my own insecurities. I saw the signs well into the second year, but I kept hoping for change.
Monday Reflection: Balancing Hurt, Accepting the Seasons
October 15, 2012 When someone alters your life without your permission, you are in the land of "this is fucked up and how do I recover?" You are faced with very hard decisions of how do you balance the thing that has happened to you with the person who has done it. |
