HE’S HOME TODAY! Back from the Philippines. It’s been over 2 weeks without him. I know I’m fortunate, some people go much longer without the one they love, but he’s HOME.
We can go back to talking into the night after the streetlight comes on, people watching, making lists of the worst things we’ve ever stepped in, or things we’d tell ourselves in 10 years while sipping Americanos, to making late-night dinners in our tiny black-and-white-tiled kitchen, driving to nowhere in particular to clear our minds of the day, imagining what our future cat will be like, intense pun wars, making each other laugh at the gym with bad Hulk Hogan impressions, catching up on our nerd shows together and moaning when it’s over and we have to wait a whole week for the next episode, trying weird beers (that gingerbread one sucked), planning our next big adventure (Pacific Coast Highway? Japan? Germany?), working out exactly how to get our dream jobs because it WILL happen, falling asleep while hugging, and just being happy.

“#JeanetteNkwate is head of content at @allthingshairuk.
With a #Filipino mother and a #Cameroonian father, she says people don’t expect #mixedracepeople to look like she does.
‘Being #mixedrace but not light-skinned, I’ve received interesting reactions from people of all backgrounds. Albeit a sweeping statement, but with white and #Asian people, I typically get shock because I don’t fit into what they deem to be mixed-race. While #Black people are often hyper-curious to figure out my heritage and quite frequently are inadvertently a little prejudiced with their statements – normally it’s something about my eyes.’
Jeanette’s dad had a really bad accident when he was younger, so his family sent him to London for treatment. Her mother was a nurse in the hospital where he was recovering.
She knows that her particular ‘mix’ is considered unusual, as many people still assume that being mixed-race always means that you are part white.
‘I know that I don’t fit into what people generally think of as mixed-race because I don’t have a light skin-tone.’
‘It annoys me that in questionnaires, #beingmixed race is only presented as white and otherness. I always opt for “#mixedother”, “other” or “#mixed”.
‘I also don’t see being mixed-race and being black as mutually exclusive things. I know that people like to classify others, but I identify myself as both: I’m a Black woman but I’m also a mixed-race woman.’
Jeanette says that #beingmixedrace gives her a unique experience of life. She says she loves being able to dip into and celebrate different cultures; ‘and that’s something that I feel more comfortable doing and vocalising now, as I’m older.’
‘I love and identify with both sides. I would say I possibly lean slightly towards my Dad’s heritage, but only because I know that when people see my skin tone they see me as “just black”.
‘I would say that both communities are inclusive, but the black community is more immediately inclusive because they can easily identify me as one of their own.’” via Natalie Morris @metro.co.uk
i feed the hollow inside my stomach and in return it leaves me alone and empty and aching; shivering at the edge of my bed with my head on my knees and a sting on my chest.
“You like him because he’s a lost boy. Believe me, I’ve seen it happen before. But do you know what happens to girls who love lost boys? They become lost themselves.” —David Levithan
The early morning rises and my mind is still awake, my body is pumped, and my heart is still beating fast from the three cups of coffee it took me to keep my eyes open throughout the night. I waited just in case you wake up. It was just in case you call me in the middle of the night again; or maybe at the crack of dawn, when the world is still half asleep and the only two people conscious of everything that is real are you and I. It was just in case you needed a break from the truth. I was willing to be your refuge. I could rest among the darkness when I am with you, no matter if you’ll be gone when the sun comes up.
