Baptism

  I got Baptized I woke up at 6:30 that morning far earlier than I had ever woken up while being in that house on a weekend. I was excited to announce that I was getting baptized I gave God a prayer, one of thankfulness and hope for fulfillment. I got my son dressed, my mom remarked that he is going to be too hungry for too many hours. She wouldn’t think that if we were going to her church but because this ceremony had to do with me, I get the feeling that the circumstances were different, but today was my day, and I wasn’t going to let anything ruin that for me. The next thing I knew I was driving down blue Hill Avenue headed towards Morning Star Baptist Church to start my wonderful day of Baptism. I was greeted by a lovely lady whose name I have now forgotten who walked me to the back so I could change into a uniform. it was the first time I was being changed into something that I was accepting of rather than being forced to put on a hospital Johnny. I was dressed in warrior gear...

 I am looking to connect with people, so I can find more rhyme to reason so I can put more meaning into my life. If you’re interested in connecting with me, feel free to reach out to me through my Instagram and Twitter. @IamBrittania and @Chineybe.

Marijuana

My first experience with marijuana, I was at school and they were smoking outside the gate. The first time I ever saw it after that was when I was 19 on a girls trip to Jamaica, we spent three weeks in Jamaica sampling the best jerk chicken across the islands Typically just enjoy the island like a native. When I migrated to America, it was still illegal in Massachusetts. I didn’t even want to take the chance of getting caught trying to buy marijuana, so I just omitted it from my daily use altogether since the introduction of the marijuana license in 2018, it has been in my daily use for as long as it’s been legal in the state of Massachusetts.  I got my medical marijuana license to be an added protection, So long as I was able to go to a dispensary and purchase it. I no longer enjoy the habit coupled with the darkness of my lips that came with its usage. My threshold has become too high so now it feels no different than that of a cigarette. I’m allergic to tobacco so this makes for...

My Son

So where does he fit into all this, probably the only thing worth my existence. I exist because he’ll need me someday. I had a baby with a guy that I’ve known since I was six years old, I figured because I’ve known him so long. He’s the most familiar person to me Marion my husband brought so much agony to my life shortly after our separation. But my son is my pride and joy, I love him dearly. I need to work on being more patient with myself and God as God works things out for me. I see myself in my son he is so beautiful. I hope in this life, I’ll be able to give him all the things that he desires. I’m thankful that he was born. I’ve learned so much about myself during this transition. I am so thankful that I have a mini me. Update: we’re going to Jamaica in June I want him to have the best experience.

Things fall Apart

I was feeling pretty invincible for the most part of my life, I had started working at age 14 taking care of the family I felt responsible, strong, brave, proud I had been maneuvering myself from job to job stressfully, when I finally got the job at DTA. This was my forever job. I had no intentions of leaving only stepping up within the ranks It took much work, but it was well worth it. I had been there eight years before they hired a new Director. I had seen a few of them come and go but none like this one she harassed me to know end, She was always concerned about where I am, where I was going. Who I was going with.    What time I’ll be back most of the time I spent in my office missing lunch and taking clients. The last conversation I had with the Director that had been there since I started she told me she was preparing me to be promoted. She said based on what I’ve done she thought it was time for me to be stepped up, I started having problems at home with my husband shor...

Faith

I’d be lying if I told you that I was the strongest believer of all my friends, however, I do believe that if he takes you to it, he’ll take you through it. When this all started, I didn’t know what direction my life was headed in all I knew is I had lost my job the only source of income I had known for the last eight years , I didn’t know what I was going to do how I was going to pay for my house or how I was going to be able to buy my child things that he might need growing up, I never wanted to ask my mom for help. I’m not that way, upon humbled grounds I became that way. The only life or existence I had known before that was just giving my Mom money. Now she had to return the favor. Her faith in God has become more powerful than I can imagine. My faith in God has been broken, weakened by my experiences, but yet I still have life, so I am thankful. I am desperately trying to put the pieces of my life back together so that I can stand on solid footing, however, my faith has been brok...

Divorced for Real

I’m for real Divorced, I can’t believe he wanted to be out of the marriage that badly. The last 10 years of my life seems something like a blur a bad blur, that I never want to be reminded of, I’m glad it’s over. Two glad bag full of water happy, Oh well I hope he’s happy with the result. I wanted two more children. Darien is too cute not to do twice. I guess now I’ll have to plan a future with someone else, that’s such a bitter age to have to start over. 33, Jesus. But, who am I to ask god what his plans are for me. A family that Prays together stays together. We barely prayed together. The house didn’t take so well to the two religions. While Future & Juice World Fine China play in the back ground. I didn’t know that my fingers could do it but I’ve worked my way into emotions out of loneliness. Going down memory lane. I’m just going to write in hopes that my fingers and my body and brain are all still one. I’m taking a shot to that Bacardi Rum these days, I grew up on white rum, ...
