Soul Close

Everybody craves intimacy— Until it stops being surface. Until it walks in quiet, Wrapped in incense and spirit. Until it asks: Can you handle being seen? Can you stay when it’s still? They think it’s just touch— Skin on skin, A kiss at the right time, A body to lean into. But the real thing? That’s energy work. It’s soul memory. It’s when someone looks at you And sees the women…

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 noise. Like you could fall apart—and no one would…

He Cried in Silence: The Mental Weight Men Carry

We don’t talk about men who cry in silence. Men who bury what breaks them. Men who are expected to be “strong” at all times—even when their world is caving in. We don’t talk about them enough. And honestly? We should. When Strength Becomes a Mask From the time they’re boys, men are told what strength should look like: Don’t cry. Man up. Be tough. Don’t be too emotional. Don’t talk too…

Serenity’s Bliss (Part 6)

She stared at the screen like it might change if she blinked hard enough. Paige’s voice sounded like it came from underwater. Everything around her muffled—except her pulse. Loud. Unforgiving. Ruthless. “SERENITY!” Paige yelled to snap her friend out of this trans she seemed to be in. She walked toward her, almost in a walk-run panic-induced manner. Serenity dropped the phone as tears streamed…

Grief: The Sucker Punch You Don’t See Coming

There I was. On a “normal Tuesday,” driving, singing my heart out.Yes! I have major car concerts—remember, this is a judgment-free zone, lol. Then, all of a sudden, the next song comes on. The minute I hear the intro, my heart sinks. The Barnes Family echoes through the speakers, “IN A WORLD…” Instantly, water wells in my eyes. Mentally, I’m telling myself, “Breathe… it’s okay.” Then, a grey…

When Help Looks Like Betrayal: The Guilt of Calling for the Ones You Love

There’s a specific kind of ache that comes from doing the right thing—and getting punished for it. I’ve been there. Too many times. The calls usually come late. Shaky voice on the other end. Tears. Silence. Then the words no one wants to hear: “I don’t want to live anymore.” And in that moment, you don’t think. You act. You call someone—anyone—who can intervene. 911. A crisis line. A friend…

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

Still Listening for Her

At night… I cry. Let out the deepest sigh. Sometimes it’s hard to face The mural of a darkened sky. Every star that glistens— I swear it’s you listening. But sometimes memories scar, And I’m too tired to be reminiscent. A longing out of reach… Yet pain won’t let me forget How cruel time can be— You don’t get do-overs. Just regrets. My sorrow’s been heavy lately… A repeat soundtrack…

You Took Shelter, But Never Stayed

I want you, baby… I really do. But be honest— You’re not feeling me like I’m feeling you. I’ve been holding on tight, Creating safe spaces, Loving you right… But still sleeping solo every night. My heart’s so torn, It’s beat running races— I don’t know whether to love slow, Or pick up the paces. Yet it still drops at the sight of your face. My mind spins wild At the simple glimpse…

“Don’t you ever give up hope. Not today. Not tomorrow. You were born with an infinite imagination. If one dream is shattered, pick up the pieces you can and create a new dream. Yes, reinventing yourself takes grit. But you’ve got that too.”

Talk About It Thursday: Showing Up for YOU in the Loudest Silence.

There are moments when the world goes quiet— But not the kind of silence that soothes. I’m talking about that heavy silence… The one that echoes. That presses in from all sides. That makes you question if your presence even matters anymore. And in those moments, when no one’s clapping… No one’s checking in… When the phone stays dry, the chair stays empty, the inbox unread— You are left…

Talk About It Thursday: Understanding the Unspoken: Mental Health Awareness

When it comes to mental health, it’s not always what’s said that reveals the struggle—it’s often what’s left unspoken. In a world where social media can make pain look poetic and curated smiles hide chaos, it’s crucial to ask ourselves: Are we really paying attention? Are we showing up in ways that matter? This Talk About It Thursday, we’re diving into three essential questions that challenge us…
