E's Talkin...Listen: Invaluable Package →
estalkinlisten:
A persons love is like their virginity. They want you to take it and treat it with care. No fragile signs written on it but just understood. Take my love and open it knowing what’s inside. Because once you’ve opened it, you can’t ship it back; It is yours forever and ever, no matter how good or…
E's Talkin...Listen: Instructions Worth Reading →
estalkinlisten:
The instructions aren’t always read before play. There are parts and pieces that may be missing, damaged or not working as they should. That’s why love is dangerous because people aren’t willing to read peoples directions. Oh but if your Garmin or TomTom was shouting them out to you maybe…

Yesterday I attended my last Social and Cultural Diversity class. I have to admit that it was a little bittersweet. I looked forward to Wednesday’s this semester but mainly because I was going to be attending that class. I was flipping through my personal journal to reflect on the semester and…

I’m afraid. I’m afraid of not falling in love. Afraid that I’ll be that girl who has guys interested in her, but who aren’t worth her time. I’m afraid I’m wasting my time. Wasting my time thinking you’ll be mine. Every song has lyrics that make me think of you I try not to but I do

E's Talkin...Listen: That's What Friends are for →
estalkinlisten:
Another significant thing that I realized this year was who my friends are. I remember in junior high and high school constantly wanting a best friend. I felt out of the loop because I didn’t have one, but I have always had a lot of good girl and guy friends. It’s funny, when I was in 4th grade,…

estalkinlisten:
To be the leading actress in a movie staring you and me would be a dream. A box office hit. A little bit of Love & Basketballl mixed with The Notebook and just a touch of Pretty Woman because those are everyone’s favorite love stories. A movie that tells the story from her perspective

There comes a time when you have to stop chasing. Out exploring for love like Dora and Boots When really you should just be worrying about you. There’s no map in a backpack or app for love It just happens It is our human nature to want to make things occur and a lot of times, that philosophy is…

estalkinlisten:
Hello to all of you! I hope that the new year has been off to a fantastic start for each and everyone of you! I have been reblogging and posting poems (when I have time). Every picture does show my sense of fashion, my thoughts and feelings, and what is going on with me. Except for the ‘what’s…
E's Talkin...Listen: Smile →
estalkinlisten:
It is nice to be reminded every once in a while that a person with a decent set of manners and morals still matters to some folks.
A genuine person who isn’t perfect, but has their stuff together. I mean, that has to be somewhat commendable. Someone has to see the beauty in that!
I’m…

estalkinlisten:
Beauty.
It has been said to be held in the eye of the beholder.
So what is beauty to you?
Is it watching a flower bloom to signify spring or
seeing a baby walk for the first time?
Could it be a couple embrace for a soft kiss and
gaze into each others eyes like they have never seen anything…
E's Talkin...Listen: All I know →
estalkinlisten:
All I know is how to be a friend
A friend listens when no one else will or wants to
and can see the pain behind the biggest smile
All I know is how to be a daughter
Making my parents proud is what I’m living for
and what I aim to do even when their days on this Earth are through
All I know…

I share my opinions not my business.
I share my heart so you see true passion.
I share my thoughts so you know what I believe.
I share my poetry so that I become transparent.
I share my beliefs so you understand my morals.
I share my favorite songs so you can hear what makes me…

If I was asked to describe myself this is what I would say: Elise is a young black woman who sees degrees as success and doesn’t and refuses to be called a ‘stupid hoe’. A 22 year old who heard Michael when he said Don’t have a baby, if ya can’t feed ya baby. She has been making herself…

estalkinlisten:
Every once in awhile each one of us should take some time for ourselves and really assess where we are in our lives. Involving too many people in that process can be cumbersome or detrimental. I attempted to do that this past weekend. I wanted nothing to do with Facebook or Twitter, my phone,…

How can I be upset at the people who constantly post pictures of themselves, when we live in a culture that reinforces that behavior? Why am I upset by the people who can’t use woman/women correctly in a sentence, when the value of reading seems to depreciate everyday? Who can I complain to about…

I had the opportunity to visit Washington DC this weekend. That place is so dynamic; from the rich culture and diversity to the phenomenal eateries and shopping, DC is multifaceted to say the very least.

This summer truly had its ups and downs. I am always learning something about myself, my family, friends, etc. Although the summer went by quickly, I have to admit I am ready for it to come to a close. I dropped the ball in some areas I should not have, while at the same time accomplishing some…
E's Talkin...Listen: Words with Friends →
estalkinlisten:
I understood at a very young age that my friends were going to mean the world to me. I knew that anyone who considered me to be one of their friends, would never regret making that choice. For me, being a friend to someone is a job that is 24 hours, 365 days a year. I don’t call in sick when it…

Dealing with my feelings and how I handle particular situations are of great concern to me. I think of myself as a person who can make logical decisions, but I also take things seriously, which can be a problem sometimes. I have begun to think about my thinking so much, that I tend to over…

Every. Single. Time. Every single time I seem to be doing a better job of not thinking about you every minute of the day or wishing things were different and that you felt the same, You find a way to contact me. You text me. You text me and I am right back at square one, which is…

estalkinlisten:
2012 taught me a lot about myself, family, friends, life and love. When I look back over the year, and begin to think about what did or did not happen, I am thankful. Excuse my French, but some really shitty things transpired; however, the good moments outweighed the shitty moments—like always. …

You’re only human. You don’t have to have it together every minute of every day.

By now, everyone who knows me, understands that social media will somehow work its way into our conversation. Let’s face it. That’s where most of my peers are confessing or professing, offending or defending, whatever it is that they think or believe. Social media is an outlet used by many to…

estalkinlisten:
When a friend needs advice, you can typically share your best advice without a problem. What you think comes out fairly quickly and you me even be amazed at yourself for how good the advice was. Whether or not they take it is completely up to them, but at least you gave it.
However, when it…

I went to my friend’s house this evening and was greeted with: We’re pretty sure it says in The Constitution that no one can ever hate you.
I don’t think words could ever capture or describe how humbled and honored I am by a compliment of that stature. That’s a very powerful statement and each…

Black History month. It’s not something that I get especially excited for, but I am proud to be black—a black woman to be specific. Being black in America is not easy. Racism is still (will forever be) alive and well. I am thankful for people like MLK and Rosa, Malcom and Sojourner, and so many…

Catfish is MTV’s new hit show. Nev (the creator) helps people who have been conversing with someone online finally meet. However, most of the time the people are not who they say. They have either made up their profession or used a picture of someone else and the list goes on and on. Although the…

I’m afraid.
I’m afraid of not falling in love.
Afraid that I’ll be that girl who has guys interested in her,
but who aren’t worth her time.
I’m afraid I’m wasting my time.
Wasting my time thinking you’ll be mine.
Every song has lyrics that make me think of you

Be Mine 2
You are so beautiful to me
Isn’t that how the song goes?
Can a woman even say that to a man?
Anyway
you got me up late
dreamin’ bout a date
Just you and me
is how I want it to be
‘til eternity
I’ve never been good at math
but I’ve worked this one
out on a calculator just to be sure
it equals out to be positive
not negative, or divided
not...
Be Mine.
Words have been said that I have always wanted to hear
you whispered them in my ear and it was more than clear
that you and I have feelings that appear to be real
I wanna waste my time with you
kick it with you
be about you
everything about you makes me smile
We can make it more than what it is
not just this thing
No more games.
you and me.
an item.
a “thing.”
It’s...
I want love
Like Tina did Ike in the limo—it finally hit me.
I want love so much because I have been surrounded by it my entire life.
My parents love each other so much it is almost sickening.
My grandparents? We celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary when I was 12!
I have seen love so much that I want to experience it myself.
That is why I have serious crushes on guys—maybe that is what scares...
I feel like that car on the lot.
I feel like that car on the lot that a lot of people admire.
Admire and look at but can’t afford.
Can’t afford because there’s a price to pay that’s expensive.
Expensive in the sense that it takes more than money to take care of the car.
Taking care of the car entails you having to wash it, paying insurance, changing the oil and making monthly payments,...
Had we crossed the line, everything would have frozen in time.
Mutual friends would have treated us differently, so why risk the feelings?
Even though the signs were all there, you didn’t stop and stare.
In the back of my head I’ll always flirt with the idea of you and me,
but in reality know that we will never be.
Just another crush that makes this list, I’m positive I’ll tell my children...
Finally
Finally we kissed without caring who would see.
My daydreams never seem to become reality, but this was different.
I have to admit it was everything I imagined.
Kissing you twice was more than enjoyable, it was magical.
Boy, those lips tasted just as they should….DELICIOUS.
The next time you want to put them on mine, you go right ahead.
My feelings for you have only grown stronger.

Kindergarten Love
July was an interesting month for me. I very rarely give anybody the chance to say things about me that they may not say to my face, but this was one of em. Long story short: Liked this guy, he was a lame, I realized it, game over. SO I decided to give it the name Kindergarten Love. What’s Kindergarten Love, well i’m fuggin glad you asked.
