Summer vacation was here, and finally I didn't have restrictions on watching the sun rise and enjoying the morning sun rays on my face. In my bedroom, I had a window outside, and every morning the sun would start to glare on my face; a hint of a new morning filled with promise and excitement. The summer mornings were my favorite because the air was warm but crisp enough to feel the uplift of its gentle touch that surrounded you, invigorating my spirit and awakening my senses....

When I start to think of this segment of my life, the one thing that comes to mind is "Another Brick in the Wall Pt. 2" by Pink Floyd and the new school that I would attend: Chase Elementary. I didn't understand why I had to switch schools, and it came down to zones that mapped where each child belonged. This made the transition confusing and daunting for me....

During my life, I found myself moving around a lot, experiencing the thrill and uncertainty that came with each new location. Often, I compared my life to that of a gypsy; always ready to move and packing light, I embraced a lifestyle that made transitions easier. The world was my playground, and each new place brought its own set of adventures and challenges....

I wanted to take a moment for reflection. As I write, I am unpacking the very moments of my life that were tucked away, hidden in the corners of my memory, waiting for the right time to be explored. These types of traumas take time for reflection and also a moment of healing, like the delicate process of a flower slowly unfurling its petals....

Living on the water and watching the sunrises and sunsets was my favorite. I would only sleep in as a kid because I stayed up all night just to see the sunrise in the morning. While I waited, I didn't mind the midnight commercials of Ms. Cleo. I wanted to call her so badly to tell my future. I wonder if I ever did, and I wonder if she promised a long-lasting life?...

My first day of school I remember it like it was yesterday. A short drive from where we lived was a small community elementary school that still stands today, a cherished landmark filled with memories. Seneca Elementary is the school where my red and white shoes would hit the ground for the first time on my own, an exhilarating experience that felt like stepping into a new world....

June 14th 1988 was a special day for me. This will be the day that I came into this earth in my mother's loving arms, surrounded by the gentle whispers of hope and dreams for the future. Born a Gemini; I knew I was different before I could even mentally register I was different, feeling the duality within me even as a newborn....

This simple phrase carries with it a warmth that can be felt in gatherings, casual barbecues, festive celebrations, or formal events....

"Come on in" was a saying that my grandmother used to say. It's a southern term of warm welcoming. My grandmother was a southern girl who could give you that warm comfort every time you saw her or spoke to her. If you were in trouble, you could hear it in her voice: "Go outside and pick out yourself a switch," or her motherly love: "Come on, hun, why are you so upset?" She was that grandma that you didn't want to mess with....
