Thinking of my mother in law today. It's been 3 years and though we may not have been as close as I would have liked (truth is I’m not very close to many people) she was a perfect mother in law and she was so good to me. better than my own family. I miss her. #threeyears#anniversary#mybiggestinfluenceinlife#imisshercooking#motherinlaw#oneofthegoodones#❤️

Boyfriend Appreciation Post

Hey there I’m a massive f[l]ag and need to rant about my lovely brofriend

God damn he’s understanding, like I don’t feel like he gets it when I tell him he’s taken so many of our fuck ups in stride and never once deemed us for some shitty thing we did to ourself. We put ourself in a lot of stupid situations and yet there’s Charlie smiling on the other side of a little screen. I don’t need to see him to tell when he is smiling at me, I feel it in the words he sends. I can’t stress enough how forgiving and open minded he is it’s actually insane. We sent him some frantic texts one night after a nasty wreck, we weren’t able to talk to him after that for over a week and a half. What do you suppose he did? Apologize. He freakin apologized for not being able to contact us while we were hospitalized. He had no power he couldn’t possibly have reached us but he still says sorry? He still showed us with love and relief that we lived. Never in my life have I been on the receiving end of such kindness, and for some reason I was lucky enough to be the one that’s loved.

Hes not just all heart of gold either, he’s breath taking. He’s look like he’s been chiseled like a Greek statue and I’m not exaggerate he’s got this heavenly jaw line thing could cut diamond yet still seems soft. He’s got these gorgeous eyes, blue as lighting in a fading sky, just these crystal pools that I could marvel at my whole life. It’s like looking at a tear drop it shines and there’s so much compassion even just in a photo his eyes are wells full of respect and love. His hair is kick ass too, black sheep sorta hair, looks like he’s in a band and is. He styles it in this like soft mullet that brings out his soft cheeks and when he smiles seem to point straight to his dimples it drys my throat I can’t believe something of such beauty is staring down at me. I don’t have anything poetic for this part but good lord I love having a tall boyfriend, he’s like over a foot taller than me and it makes my brain go straight to sin city lol. He’s got really big hands too, straight up model hands like I’m dead serious he might as well be a hand model as a full time career they’re perfect. You’d think being super lank is awkward but he moves so fluidly, like he’s always dancing I want to cry some days he’s just so lovely like a living breathing painting.

he’s my eclipse, he’s all consuming and everything I’ll ever see, a combination of the sun and moon just as indescribable as his beauty. I’ve know since I started dating, honestly since junior year where I had a crush on him but was to chicken to say, I’ve always known that all I need is his company. Just to see him happy is more than I deserve. If one day comes and he wakes up to find everything faded away I won’t cry. I won’t be sad because he’s still here, I don’t need him to love me. I just need him to let sit near and see him shine.

love you till death do us part my starlight I’ll never dream a dream with out you in it ❤️

“Isn’t being human enough?” The Hate U Give meets Get Out in this honest and powerful exploration of prejudice in this stunning novel (available now!) from sister-writer duo, @maikamoulite and @maritzamoulite! When teen social activist and history buff Kezi Smith is killed under mysterious circumstances after attending a social justice rally, her devastated sister Happi and their family are left reeling in the aftermath. As Kezi becomes another immortalized victim in the fight against police brutality, Happi begins to question the idealized way her sister is remembered. Perfect. Angelic. One of the good ones. Even as the phrase rings wrong in her mind—why are only certain people deemed worthy to be missed?—Happi and her sister Genny embark on a journey to honor Kezi in their own way, using an heirloom copy of The Negro Motorist Green Book as their guide. But there's a twist to Kezi's story that no one could've ever expected—one that will change everything all over again.  Big thanks to @InkyardPress for sending this thought provoking novel my way! ________________________ [ Xander is not feeling well so we are headed to the doctor 🥺 fingers crossed ] ________________________ #Bookstagram #Bookish #BookNerd #BookReviewer #OneOfTheGoodOnes #InkyardPress #MaikaMoulite #MaritzaMoulite #AdvancedReadersCopy #BooksAndPlants #Shelfie (at Saint Joseph, Missouri) https://www.instagram.com/p/CYcRAsirLzM/?utm_medium=tumblr

Welcome back to Lamon Reviews. If you have been following my posts, you know how much I enjoyed this novel. It is filled with emotion and has thrilling twists that had me unable to stop listening to it. In the first chapter, character Happi Smith says a line that, to me, sums up every time I see another news post showcasing the state of race relations in the U.S. Let the public consumption of…

Keziah Smith, a young, up and coming YouTuber, who is a social justice crusader, dies in police custody after being arrested while attending a protest for an innocent Black man who was killed at the hands of the police. Her family speaks out about Kezi’s death, and her remaining sisters, Genny, Happi, and two closest friends, Ximena and Derek, embark on Kezi’s pre-planned road trip, using a gifted copy of The Negro Motorist Green Book, in her honor to commemorate her life and the work she was doing for social justice. Incorporating flash backs to the past, we learn about the Smith family, and how Black trauma has been passed down through generations in their family. The title, “One of the Good Ones,” is a recurring theme in this book. The book discusses how Black people are deemed either “one of the good ones” or someone who doesn’t deserve anything. Damon Young called this phenomenon, “the magical negro.” What white people call and think of Black people who remain “neutral” on race, or those who don’t rock the boat about racism, pull the race card, or get in trouble with the law. This book pulls on so many areas: - Generational trauma in the Black community - Missing Black people - Police brutality - Death in police custody - Social justice - Racism - Familial ties/bonds - Friendship - LGBTQIA+ - Normalizing therapy for the Black family I really enjoyed reading this novel, as there is a crazy twist in the plot that keeps you moving throughout the book. Overall, the pace was good, the plot development was decent, the character development was good, but the ending felt a bit rushed, and I wished that some of the plot lines were flushed out completely prior to the end. However, this book is a book to watch for 2021. Definitely timely, and needed, as the BLM movement has gained momentum in recent events, with the passing of George Floyd, Breonna Taylor, Ahmaud Arbery, and a host of others who have not been forgotten, like Sandra Bland, Freddie Gray, Philando Castille, and Trayvon Martin. Thank you to Net Galley, Maika Moulite, Maritza Moulite, and Inkyard Press for providing me with an ARC. #oneofthegoodones https://www.instagram.com/p/CJRi2bKg7yE/?igshid=1k5ghdi9vmofa
