Friends?

So, last night I posted about my ex....its all too funny that he actually contacted me today! He wants to be friends!! Um, hello....why???
Can someone please answer that for me and explain WHY someone would want to be friends with an ex that there didn't even seem to be any sort of lasting bond with? We weren't friends prior to dating, so why would we be friends after dating? I don't understand this concept of trying to be friends wth an ex....it leads to more heartache and just isn't healthy. I feel like ats an easy way to hang on to an idea of love rather than being in love. Its a lazy mans way through heartbreak... Right? Is being friends with an ex possible?
Thoughts, feedback, opinions?

Systemic racism has been inherent in our country since long before #bluelivesmatter or #alllivesmatter.  Black lives matter is a movement and philosophy that is important because whether you choose to see it and believe it or not. Black people, African Americans, and people of color have been left in the literal dust in this country since it was "discovered" in 1492. Dying in streets since black people were kidnapped and brought to this country to be sold into an inhumane trade and forced to labor or to be another man's sexual pawn against their own will and judgment, and shot in the back and left mommas crying for far too long. I struggle with this a lot because...

Sorry, #notsorry

I just finished reading an entry on one of my favorite reader published online blogs on elephant.com (Article and link at the bottom of page), and couldn't help but to think to myself that me reading it was of no certain coincidence...You see, I, as I'm sure many others out there, can TOTALLY relate to Kate Rose's words that seem to have been written from a place far more guttural and primal than I'm willing to write and speak from in relation to my most recent relationship. I'm really not even sure if it's completely the same thing at all, but what I do know is that I was in a very unhealthy relationship that lasted exponentially longer than it should have... I think as women, we tend to ignore red flags and think to ourselves "oh, if only I hadn't have reacted in this particular way," or "well, if I had just given him a moment longer when he walked in the door instead of jumping to say hello right away..." That last one sounds pretty r...
