Every Perspective From one Experience

There was nothing like waking up on a Saturday morning watching my mother get the house ready for the Smith Family Mother’s Day party. Every year all of my sisters, nieces, nephews, cousins, uncles and aunts would come and visit my house to eat good food and hang out. It was a time to re-connect. My aunt would bring dungeonus crabs, muscles, and shrimp teaching my brother how to cook a fish fry for his future family.

Constant compare and contrast How long does this last Always playing the middle, Talking in riddles, And hoping that you'll understand That I'm at the mercy of another's hand I'm not an airhead, despite what you've heard I just use "like" in between my words To differentiate myself from metaphors I just try to make sure that your letters are yours…

31 with a whole lotta life to go. I realized that I never introduced myself. My name is Jasmine, a.k.a Firefly, I was born and raised in New York City where I’m still at, I’m a cancer, and I identify (was also born) as a woman. A selfie of me ❤️ I must say, I am so glad to finally be in my 30’s because my 20’s was a shit show and being a teenager sucked.
