Letting Go
Why should I let go?It’s not that I want toIt’s that the feelings are strongerThan I’d care to admitAnd it’s easier to let them float away with the windThan to let them soak in the waters that were created by the tears that I’ve cried while waiting for a solid signThe earth that I stand on quivers and shakes with every thoughtAnd every sighThe fire…itBurns.It’s not that I want to let goBut that…

I see you mind.
I see you, mind. The way that you keep me imprisoned, the way that you keep my soul imprisoned. You say things that are so incredibly believable that I cannot help but stop what I'm doing and do what you want me to do. It doesn't have to be clearly stated by you; I will naturally just feel the urge to do something else. Whenever you perceive that I will be vulnerable, you come in the most subtly to sway me in another direction. Whenever you perceive that I will finally do what may put me in fear's way but will give me the grandest results, unknown results, you sway me in another direction. It's so...insidious.
I'm upset with you.
How can you do that to me? You have betrayed me the most of all the things in life. In your efforts to keep me protected, you have caused me the most pain. You have set me on a path of unmet expectations that has led me down a depth—a hole—so deep of despair and dissatisfaction with life that I struggle to see clearly enough to find where I can grasp onto to climb out.
I have been left to my own vices because you don't have the capacity to get me out of the hole you've put me in. I leave that to my heart and soul, which are one and the same. It has wisdom and strength that you have yet to catch up to and maintain. For you, wisdom takes time to integrate, while with the heart, it is felt so deeply in one's core that you cannot help but remember it.
Step down. Stop speaking to me in different convincing voices and stories..." maybe this time" stories. The voice of fearful oppression. The feeling of a halt, an invisible wall in my chest, stopping my will. Give up. Let me go. What could I accomplish if you just stepped aside to the lowest notch? Let me show you, I will be okay. Let me be free in my spirit's longing to connect with my soul and create the simplest essence of what I am. Let me be.

Getting Married………Again
Vow Renewal Vibes…..
Tumblr media
Every five years my wife wants to get remarried again. Treats our relationship like a car lease except we not getting the newer model. I just want her happy so I agree to most of her ideas. I love a good party. Getting to see old friends and family. I hate to pressure people to come to anything I invite them to, if you pressure people or insist they may come with a vibe that isn’t what you are looking for. I also don’t believe in being sore if someone doesn’t come because I understand, life can happen, sometimes you agree in the moment then you regret it later when the time approaches because you tired or broke and finally sometimes you hold someone in certain esteem in your heart and they don’t see you in the same light as you see them. If the event doesn’t move them to attend then why be bitter allow them the room to do what they want. While you would love everyone that you love to be there with you during the important events in your life sometimes for whatever reason they can’t be there and you shouldn’t hold that against them. Those who do make get to be there for life long memories.
Tumblr media
In total about 50 people attended. I remember I got a terribly mean text from one of my sisters and it bothered me really bad because it felt like it was meant to be as painful as possible. This particular sister doesn’t love me, we do not speak. She did it because he wasn’t invited and she wanted to make it about her. It really threw me off mentally. I spent the day with in the back of my mind. She won that battle, had me being short with my wife and children I wasn’t excited I was upset. Then my wife left to get ready. I texted one of my groom’s men Richie and he asked if I was good. I said yes. Then I remembered calling him the night before my wedding I sat in my car my 1990 Mazda protégé for two hours listening to Nas Getting Married. I immediately put the song on repeat as I ironed my sons suit. It put me back in the zone I was in the wedding morning. My sister and her text suddenly meant nothing I was in love again all I could think about was my wife. I looked over at my son looking cool as could be dressed like a miniature model. I was back.
Tumblr media
The set up was beautiful on the beach everyone including us dressed in all white. The music started playing. I started to recall what the church felt like on my wedding day. You can’t always remember exactly what happened but often you can remember the feeling. I remembered that feeling. You ever smell your mother’s cooking and you are transported to the moment in time and you remember exactly how it felt. That is exactly what happened to me at that alter. I was 25 again standing at the alter waiting to exchange vows again. Getting choked up holding back tears but I’m not sad. We changed vows we’ve written. The moment was perfect, again. I’m grateful, grateful to have these moments that provide perspective. Things that remind me when things get difficult. Every time, I get mad every time, we fight every time, when I cant figure out life. I cant remember everything but always there for me is the vibes and I can never forget that.

it must be established soon that this is where i’ll share my experience as an individual that is based on the caribbean whose search bar terms when looking for images always included “tumblr aesthetic” at the end and that just loves the term “slice of life” and the imagery it evokes
the beauty in the mundane, the grunge and the 2014 collages and skins and the halsey music videos, the movies tangerine and the florida project that forever changed my perception of reality and made me think i was able to shoot a short film with an iphone 4s to document the caribbean aesthetics i'm surrounded with
that and that i already feel unhinged here considering my usual social media silence in other apps (i barely post anything anywhere) i’m supposed to be mysterious on instagram i can’t share my thoughts too much
what helps the most here is i don’t see anyone’s face and that’s so>>> thank u tumblr your email marketing campaign is actually working i’ve been reading some of them and also thank u slayyyter you’re also motivating me to let my thoughts out and to finally just talk shit online and share anything i vibe with
also i'm kind of a writer don't let my unpunctuated style fool you please understand that i'm going for a bret easton ellis less than zero kind of narration style that's the picture i'm trying to paint with a slight tint of dirty havana trilogy by pedro juan gutierrez, i'll dive deeper into my influences and how i'm a sucker for the hedonistic cloudy aesthetic caribbean kind of vibe i've been living and chasing my whole life

Selfie-ish
Whenever I ask someone to take a picture of meThey never get the composition rightThey don’t adjust the settings to best suit my features under the given lightingThey don’t capture my full lengthThey don’t capture my smileThe picture is blurryAnd my feet are cut offMy face is distortedAnd my eyes are closed They click the button whenI sneezeI blinkI fallBut not when my eyes are openWhen my smile…

Summarize this.
Sometimes I don't understand life. I don't understand my life. One moment, things feel like they're climbing and climbing and climbing. And then, they stop going. The moment I get attached, they stop. The moment I start desiring it, it stops. Must I thread carefully with anything that comes my way and not have any attachment to it? It constantly makes me feel like I'm doing something wrong. What am I doing wrong now? Why can't I do things right? Why can't I just be perfect so everything goes smoothly and nothing goes wrong, and it won't be my fault? It always feels like it's my fault. Every relationship going wrong...it's my fault. If I just couldn't have wanted it so much then maybe they would've wanted me.
Every time something wants me, and then I receive it and want it back, it leaves me—the things I really want. Or maybe it's because it was never meant to be in the periphery, to begin with.
Sometimes, I wonder if life is just preventing me from having my desires so that I will have no choice but to dissipate all my attachments to them. All my attachments will be dissipated until I have nothing left but to just focus on shamanism, and that'll be it. That'll be my love. My attachments will only be to the practice and to myself.
I also don't know if my feelings of being blocked really are a mirror for me of what I'm doing to myself and how I'm self-sabotaging myself and my life.
I will continue to live in my imaginary world where I can only hope that a man who is a blend of Oscar Isaac and Pedro Pascal shows up in my life and happens to be intrigued by me and interested in learning about me. Then I'll have what I want.
It's just this incessant pattern that is bringing up so much grief as I write this. It's my relationship with my father still plaguing me in life. It's terrible and astounding how impactful these dynamics are and how they bleed into every area of your life. And then you're stuck. Your energy is being sucked dry. It makes you not even want to be here anymore. There are days when I wonder if I'm ever going to get out of this hellhole.
And then when I have it, I just feel like I fuck it up. I feel like I'm going to fuck it up because, deep down, I just don't feel deserving of it. Why would I? I just keep getting blocked. Nothing goes the way I expect it to and once again I've fallen trap to just having any expectation whatsoever. So am I supposed to not have expectations at all? Am I just supposed to rid myself of any hope and stay in a consistent state of languishing my entire life? It always feels like failure is inevitable and pending, and loss is inevitable, and I don't know how to just be and not be doing everything I can to avoid the inevitable.
I can't believe I fell for it...again. I get hopeful. I say, this is it. But, to put my hope into someone else's hands is the dumbest thing ever. To expect differently even feels dumb. I'm just ready to give up. I don't know how I'm going to get out of this.

Glasses kink, connie nutted all over ya glasses, switch reader and connie..?!, a bit of spit kink if you squint, oral, m receiving , pet names(mami, baby) , sum spanish, not proof read, support black writers 🫶🏼
Tumblr media
Connie had his fingers in your mouth in the back seat of his car.
Your bestie just had to rush you out of jeans party when he seen that outfit you were wearing
He was watching you the whole night, he saw the way your hips swayed while you danced upon your friends just wishing it was him.
And who were you to not grant your besties wish?
Especially when you felt him staring at you the whole night. You Sat on top of him while waiting for him to dick you down as he finger fucked your throat, he was getting turned watching and hearing you gag around his fingers.
you felt his bulge throbbing as he thrusted his fingers into your mouth.
your glasses were slightly tilted off of your face when connie slid his fingers out of your mouth and down to your neck squeezing it bringing you in for for a sloppy kiss.
his eyes were half-lidded as he sucked on the tip of your tongue.
"abre la boca" you complied easily opening your mouth for him, his saliva dropped onto you’re tongue making you instantly swallow it as you palmed his boner.
“God I’m gonna fuck you up princesa”
You giggled as you unbuckled his pants ready to try and take him.
Connie was easily a good 7-8 inches so taking him was always a challenge.
One that you were up for nun the less.
You started by placing open mouthed kisses all around his tip, his breath hitched at your teasing.
His pre cum was leaking out as you started kissing down his shaft. You brung your head up licking up his pre cum cause him to whimper out.
“Did you like that pa?” You looked up at him through foggy lenses. “…fuckkk yesss ma”
“Yea?”
He let out a low moan as you spit on his tip before jerking it down his shaft.
Connie was growing agitated at the constant teasing and he simply just couldn’t take it anymore.
He put his hands on the sides of before roughly fucking up into your throat; making you gag.
He continued to fuck your mouth, you met his thrust half way watching his face contort to pure pleasure.
His spews of praise was enough get you wet
“Ss-AHhh…dios mío baby”
“lo e-estás haciendo muy b-bien”
“So g-goooood baby fuck!”
His constant praises, faces , and sounds had you ready to cum for him already.
He thrust came to a halt
“Fuck fuck fuck..” his voice came out Whiney with a small laugh
He lifted your head up watching the trail of spit leave from his base, your glasses were damn near off of your face and the heavy breaths you let out…it was all making Connie much more feral.
“Can you still take it Con? Is it to much for you? You asked in a sultry voice.
He laughed a little, slightly out of breath
“Mmp-h I can take it ma”
He dug his hands into the seat beside him as you lowered your mouth to his shaft again.
“Puedo hazme venir por ti”
You gripped the base of his shaft while licking up to the tip before circling around it with you’re tongue
“Ohh fuck mami”
His hands gripping the seat, his eyes looking down at you, and his face is fucked out.
You started to kiss and suckle his reddened tip watching him shiver
watching him come undone was a sight for sore eyes.
His hips were thrusting uncontrollably as he desperately wanted to cum all over you.
“I’m gonna c-cum… fuckkk mami I’m gonna cummm” it was more of a warning, he was twitching from the constant pleasure coming from his sensitive crotch
“Are you gonna cum for me baby? Can you please come for me?”
Your voice was all he needed to hear.
His eyes now resided in the back of his head with his mouth wide open
His leg was constantly jerking form the stimulation and his hands couldn’t find a final destination as you stroked him waiting for his nut.
“Oh my god ma…fuck imcummingimcummingimcunming……FUCKKKK”
He shouted as he let out thick white ropes across your face, mouth, and glasses.
“Oh my god…s-shitttt”
He looked at you while you were licking your lips laughing
“Did it feel good baby?”
You couldn’t even see his fucked out face from your glasses being covered in his essence.
You took them off licking his cum right off them while maintaining eye contact with him
He didn’t say anything but he didn’t need to his deep breaths, agape mouth, and his dick that re-hardened had said enough.
He laughed looking around clearly thinking about something
“Get up here you slut”
