A Day at the Beach
While I was sitting in the reticent bathroom pacing back and forth, scared, tense, and quivering I was scared to even look at the results. Sitting here thinking back and wondering to myself if that was the right answer. How could I do this to someone that I should have loved? Going back to an outstanding year in 2004, full of excitement and joy but ended in agony and sorrow. I was with a boy that I thought was my knight and shining armor, I mean this is really the first time I ever felt loved. Living in the dreadful house of my grandmother, he was my paradise, my escape route to have fun. There was no way that I could show any expressions of pleasure because I would be punished, so I would creep out of the house or say I was going somewhere that I wasn’t. Meeting up with this chocolate, suave, attractive young man I felt like I was in heaven. Rubbing on his velvety skin, just made me have this feeling that I couldn’t resist and that no one ever talked to me about. I mean my mind and my emotions were just out of control with a rage of hormones. As we made passionate love neither I nor him was even thinking about using protection we were just caught up in the moment, adoring every minute of it. The night came to a close and as I headed back home, the gut feeling I had just didn’t feel right. I mean, I knew I was already in trouble because my grandmother had called me almost 15 times on my cell phone, but this feeling was just different. While at home, I realized over the weeks that I started to eat more and I was always tired, something that I wasn’t used to because I was a very energetic person. Everyone started to notice all my friends, noticing that my clothes where getting a little tighter, I was always asking them for their food and they asked me, Are you pregnant? At that moment, I thought maybe I am it all makes sense with all the problems I have been having. After getting home that day from school my friend gave me a pregnancy test and I was

    I have always been very pleased with the items I buy at Beach Bums. I must admit that I am a little name brand snobby as in I have Lilly Pulitzer/Janie and Jack taste but a Carter's clearance budget. At beach bums I have been able to snag Janie and Jack shirts for $3-$4 (usually on clearance $15 or higher) I usually make about $200-$250 on the clothes I sold at the sale and I spend around $100 for my son's new clothes. This has been a huge help for our family with our budget for clothes, toys, etc.…

    I have gone through a lot of things in my life. Many people would not believe so, as I am a pretty blessed child with my father the king, my mother the queen, and me of course, the prince. My life really started to go downhill when my father passed away. Wait, he did not just “pass away”, he got murdered. By my uncle. Why you may ask? Well I’m not too sure. It probably had to do with the fact that now, after two months, my mother married him. He wanted the throne and to rule the town. I wanted revenge, and that is all I wanted. I started seeing ghosts and that started frightening me. I thought I was going insane. The ghost, who ended up being my father, told me to kill my uncle, to get the revenge I strived for. But I couldn’t. I wanted to be very cautious. I wasn’t really that type of person that goes around murdering people! Eventually I started to be abusive to my mother. I really regret that. But I was so mad at her for getting married to the one that killed her own husband! At this point, I accidently murdered my girlfriend’s dad, thinking that it was my disgusting brother. I realized that I was now the murderer that I never wanted to be. Her brother, of course got mad, and my uncle tried to convince him to kill me! We fought, and I thought it would be the winner. Little did I know, my uncles sword was laced with poison, and if it touched me, I’d die. I…

    Sometimes I would be the mommy, others the daddy; it did not matter who I was because the game always ended the same way. As I grew older, I began to crave the feelings that were exposed to me as a child and the person, whom I will call X, was always willing to give them to me. However, one day, after six years, X came to me and told me that we could no longer continue what we were doing. I did not understand why, at the moment, so I simply shrugged off the matter. And since I no longer had anyone else to “play” with, I began to seek the pleasure that I was taught and conditioned to love by myself with the help of the internet. This continued for about two years until the summer of 2013. During that summer I stumbled upon a book called “The Source of All Things” by Tracy Ross. I was actually in a Dollar Tree in Dallas, Texas when I decided I wanted to pick up a few cheap books to read on my way back home to Naples, Florida; nevertheless, by the time we got home I had already finished reading the book. The book was about Tracy Ross and her own sexual abuse story as a child and how she eventually overcame i. After I finished the book and realized that the games I played with X were not actually games and that the feelings I experienced were not meant for me to have experienced, I sank a good fifty feet deeper into my hole. I did not want anyone to look at me, touch me, or even compliment me. I wanted to vanish from the face of the Earth and cry out my body weight. I could not run to my parents for help because I was too embarrassed and ashamed of myself. I felt dirty and worthless. I withdrew from my family and isolated myself from social activities. I voluntarily made myself a social…

    The only reason it lasted this long is because I did not want to take the risk. Something inside me finally cracked, I decided to take the ultimate risk. I am going to clean the love of my life in a questionable way. I took preliminary precautions that I would have normally never done, for example putting in bath salts, child friendly bubbles, and of course brushes. Just before I cleaned her she said one last thing that I may never forget, “This may be the end of my life, but may our relationship exist forever.” The next day I moaned and cried for hours, that day I wanted to go hide, escape reality, or do something. Although I could not let this happen, things are meant to happen, and they all happen for a reason. This tragedy acted as a coming of age to me, I decided that I need to go out into the world and meet people. Although I was too sad to let this happen, all I thought was “WWWHHHYYYYYY.” Then the thought dawned on me, a thought so meaningful it was like I was being brought back to life, ‘she’ was just a…

    The Christmas party was over when he offered to walk me home since it was late. When we reached my home he asked me out on a date, nothing major, just typical teens taking things slow at first. Everyone in my family started noticing the effect Ian “supposedly” had on me. Ian was everything I needed at that time. He was quiet, until he got angry. When he was outraged he reminded me a lot of my childhood as I watched my mother and father beat each other. Ian led me to believe that there was no God, I even stop going to church. He had me read several books that spoke of evilness. I bleached my hair and wore long boots and short skirts. Ian beat me and took my virginity, but this was alright with me. He did this because I believed that he truly loved me. I did whatever he asked me to do including taking nude photographs to buying into his fantasies. One example is Ian said he wanted to rob a bank. I learned to drive so that I could drive the getaway car. If there was anything he wanted or desired I wanted to be the one that was there by his side. I know it sounds a little crazy but I was deeply in love. Once Ian drugged, beat, and raped me while photographing me as I lay there helpless. Most people would have walked away, but this is what I was used to seeing. I loved this man very much. I knew that he was cruel and selfish, but that did not change the way I felt about…

    Why didn’t I do more to stop it? Why didn’t I give one violent lash out like I would stop everything. Why? All those years of twisting our ropes of life together and just as simple as snapping your fingers it all untied. And now I’m walking down steps that go to a truck that I don’t want. Everything seems like it is going into slow motion and I don’t know if I want it to stay in slow motion or come back to the reality where I don't want to go Like my judgement and vision is blurry and I’m fighting I resists each and every erg to go back or to scream or to run away but I keep going forward.But I felt something like a pounding of a snare drum rattling away to a march. Why was my heart racing? What’s going on? And I knew she was getting scared that I was leaving her. And my heart was pounding like a cherokee drum. Because I knew that this would be the last time. I have no control over my body anymore, it’s not mine. My part of my body has left as soon as I sat down in that seat the part of me that was Levi left, and what entered was not the same as what left. My part the one I knew was me left and went back to Muddy colored Maddie, that me had courage. This new me just sat there with a stupid pitiful look on his face. I hate this new…

    While reading Hungry Ghosts, childhood memories of sexual abuse by my step-father, starting at the age of two until I was sixteen, came to mind. It was not until I was sixteen that I stood up to my step-father and told him to never touch me again. My courage came from the car my great-grandmother gave me at sixteen. The car gave me a sense of freedom. I had known for some time that what was happening to me was wrong, but I had no way of escape. With new-found freedom, accompanied by guilt, shame, and a feeling of worthlessness, I became promiscuous. After each relationship, I still felt empty, guilty, and yet I had a stronger drive to find love through…

    A week had passed by and my broken love was shredded into about 7 pieces and everyday the wind would take one a day so if that week were to go by then that would be that would be the end of you and I and my love and I would have to kick rocks and say goodbye! It took me by surprise because i came from shit where i would be beaten up from my peers to my progeny where i was told the only way to get stronger and get anywhere in life was to cold-hearted as shit and never trust no bitch and that's where my body officially divided its characteristics into 3. 1st was my nerd side where dragon ball z and naruto came about 2nd was the emotional side of me that's where i show my lovey dovey side of me and last but least the final side of me the hood side/My anger/hatred (they all have there own separate reason one why they were born) But on to why i was surprised it was because i thought God was finally bringing someone good to my life someone that could be the light to my dark world.
