Voice from the Past

Byqueenmajeeda April 1, 2026April 2, 2026

When your own memory or someone tries to make you feel undervalued because of your past, know that your life is a journey, and we all make mistakes. Learn and grow from your mistakes, and let no one have the power to hold your past against you, not even your own thoughts or fears.

Sometimes our conscience can wreak havoc on our minds, but we have to let go of the past and learn to turn our mistakes into learning experiences. People may also try to bring you down, but always remember, you are not your mistakes. Keep growing towards who you are meant to become.

Fear and guilt from my past tried to speak to me today,
“I know who you are,”
They rang out in chorus
But present and future chimed in and said,
“Wrong!
You know who she was.”

Bye-bye Grief
Byqueenmajeeda March 31, 2026April 1, 2026

Grief is like a punch in the stomach /
With all your insides being snatched by the wind /
It leaves you feeling like an empty shell /
Like a hollowed rock for a tunnel /

Social Media Dilemma
Byqueenmajeeda March 15, 2024March 31, 2026

Here is where the dilemma comes in. As a creator in the 21st century, the way to reach an audience and share one’s work is definitely through social media. Otherwise, one tends to exist in a vacuum. Even if a creator’s email list is impressively long, the way to attract more subscribers is to share on social media. The same goes for creators with short email lists. In order to grow that email list, one has to share on social media.
