Be Nobody’s Bae

Be nobody’s bae,

Let your spirit roam

Free away from the chains

They try to throw on you.

You ain’t anyone’s shawty,

Cougar, or puppy dog.

They tell you to play fetch

For their affections,

Well they told you wrong.

Go ahead and stomp all over

Their excuses

As numerous as their playthings.

You ain’t no toy, you ain’t no baby

Nor a honey, sweetie, shorty,

Girl?

Hell no, you’re a lady.

They tell you go to the kitchen,

You go and cook up a storm.

And tell them they can’t have any

they can starve with their bros.

Don’t be nobody’s bae,

You’re a bona fide woman

May you march proudly

Loudly and always

Profoundly.

~A. Chan

Write What You Know

And at the end of the day, your words are your own. I guess that's why people tell you to write from your heart. Write what you know. Because you know things that no one else knows. It's that simple. It doesn't have to be dripping with descriptions and flourishes if that's not your style. The most important thing is to just write. And like a pen, once you get the ink started, the rest should flow out easily.

Summer.

It feels like summer. You know the smell of it? The way it tingles your nose when you walk through your house? And the way the sun dances on your floors?

It's a season for exploring and writing and painting the world.
