Thank you so so much! I wrote this piece about leaving an unhealthy situationship that I felt stuck in for quite some time. I am so glad that you loved it. <3
Time
Often taken for granted
It always manages to pass us by
So when you could days without talking to me
I was always understanding and always on your side
I neglected both my heart and my emotional intelligence

Aww Aiyanna, I have soooo been there. One day at a time. Each day will get a little easier. Just never ever compromise your standard. You are wonderful and you should be treated as such. Keep marching forward. Hold your head high. And on to the next (as I would tell myself). <3 Lauren

Keep treating it as such. You are a rock…read more

Our name, which is of Native American ori…read more
Aiyanna, I LOVE your name, and its meaning. My name is Lauren, and ironically, I always hated that everyone had the same name as well. There were seven Laurens in my grade alone in middle school. That means when someone shouted, “Lauren,” there was only a 1 in 7 chance they were talking to me!
Don’t be mad at yourself for gossip, waiting to ask…read more
