Foolish Heart

noreply@blogger.com (Talk2Priestess) — Fri, 07 Feb 2020 12:08:00 +0000

“Foolish Heart” written by Steve Perry and made even more famous by Atlantic Starr’s Sharon Bryant has been steady on my play list. Why? Well Valentine’s Day is approaching and I may not get to see my significant other. I have been questioning things over the last couple weeks. I feel foolish, but yet I feel I may be making a quick decision out of fear of past relationships. The communication is there but we are lacking intimacy as far as spending quality time together. I guess I’m going to just wait it out. Ugh but please listen to “Foolish Heart.”

Song of Broken Heart

noreply@blogger.com (Talk2Priestess) — Sat, 16 Nov 2019 16:38:00 +0000

What's wrong with this record?

Why is it skipping so?

There's a crack in it.

It's broken.

The song is broken.

The composers heart has been shattered.

Shattered into oblivion.

I am broken.

I am weary.

I am frustrated.

Will it ever get better?

This song exudes melancholy.

There's long to be fulfilled.

Will it ever come.

This is the song of a broken heart.

Musique's Blues

Can I be real with you? I deal with depression and PTSD (Post Traumatic Stress Disorder). I was formally diagnosed earlier this year. Thankfully, I was able to enter into therapy after leaving South Carolina last year. It was long over due.
There are times in which I wonder what would've happened if I had gone to therapy years prior. The PTSD comes from abuse in my childhood from an aunt that raised me as well as an abusive relationship. The depression is an effect of the PTSD. There are days where I do not want to get out of bed. There are days where I just want to give up on life, but there is something inside of me that tells me to keep pushing.
As I progress into my 3rd year of transition and HRT and living as a trans person, therapy is needed. I must honestly say I am feeling progress. Therapy does help. I want people to understand that a person recovering and dealing with depression and PTSD should be allowed time and not to be rushed into healing quickly. Whenever someone heals quickly they may not heal properly and all wounds may not have been properly addressed.
This is my reality. I understand that as a spiritual person I have prayer and all that jazz, but sometimes people need Jesus and a therapist with no shame. At one point I was ashamed to be diagnosed with depression and PTSD.
I want to be better, I do, but I understand that it is going to take time. I wish other people that don't deal with mental illness understood this.
I am determined that I won't deal with depression for the rest of my life. I am determined to be a winner over depression.
These are my blues that I choose to share with you. If you judge me that is your problem not mine.
Much Love,
Musique

Hello Readers and Friends,

The high priestess is back!!! I know you all missed me. Where have I been? Well I've been here but scarcely posting. I made the decision to start back writing and posting.

I must admit that I lost myself in trying to be like other bloggers instead of staying true to myself. Why not just write in the lane that I'm in and forget what other people have to say?

I have been podcasting over at Melanated Memoirs as well as writing the story version of "UnWanted" which is based off my new song "UnWanted". Check them out by clicking on the links. You won't be disappointed. I will be back with something new for you all.

noreply@blogger.com (Talk2Priestess) — Sun, 07 Jul 2019 17:52:00 +0000

According to various media outlets Disney Channel star Cameron Boyce died on Saturday morning after suffering a seizure due to an ongoing health condition for which he was being treated.

Boyce's death was confirmed by his family on Saturday night.

"It is with a profoundly heavy heart that we report that this morning we lost Cameron," a spokesperson said on behalf of the Boyce family. "He passed away in his sleep due to a seizure which was a result of an ongoing medical condition for which he was being treated. The world is now undoubtedly without one of its brightest lights, but his spirit will live on through the kindness and compassion of all who knew and loved him. "We are utterly heartbroken and ask for privacy during this immensely difficult time as we grieve the loss of our precious son and brother."

Cameron Boyce starred in films such as "Descendants," "Grown Ups", and many more. He also dedicated himself to charity work and raised $30,000 to build wells for clean drinking water in Swaziland. He was also set to appear as a series regular on HBO's New Show ,"Mrs Fletcher," and the spinoff of the film "American Satan," called "Paradise City."

The Gay and Trans Legal Defense Prohibition Act of 2018

noreply@blogger.com (Talk2Priestess) — Mon, 23 Jul 2018 19:18:00 +0000

The Gay Panic and Trans Legal Defenses are so-called "legal defense" used for people who have committed hate crimes against Trans and Queer People. Here's an article I wrote on Senator Edward Markey (D-Mass) and Rep. Joe Kennedy (D-Mass) introducing a bill that prohibits the use of such defenses, which are really just piss poor excuses.

HRT for 10 Months and Emotional Rollercoaster

noreply@blogger.com (Talk2Priestess) — Sat, 21 Jul 2018 02:30:00 +0000

So It has been 10 months since I've started hormone replacement therapy. I'm loving the progress of it all. my breasts are growing and I'm feminizing greatly. However it is those damn mood swings that have been getting to me.
Today started out like any other day. It was calm and copacetic. I had to be up a bit earlier today however due to a dentist appointment. Afterwards, I came home to rest before starting my shift at work.
Now I must admit that work was trying as hell!!! People didn't want to listen. Co-workers getting on my damn nerves, and I just felt overwhelmed. Well it all came to a head when I got off from work.
I tried to pray through my emotions, but all I could do was cry. I called my best friend and talked to him and I still felt like shit. I also decided to get some hamburger helper and cook, since that always makes me feel better. However I cried as I cooked.
I had been forwarned that when I started HRT that I would be an emotional wreck, However I felt as if I was having a nervous break down. I therefore have made up in my mind that I am going to resume with therapy and counseling. I think I may just need to talk someone and process more so through this transition other than using music, my blogs, and prayer.

Just thinking out loud,
Yannick

About this Church Hurt Joke: IT AIN'T FUNNY

noreply@blogger.com (Talk2Priestess) — Thu, 12 Jul 2018 03:23:00 +0000

Photo by Karl Fredrickson on Unsplash

We've all read, watched, and heard about Gospel Singer Leandria Johnson's rant and break down concerning a famous Pastor and her experience with religion and church hurt. We were even there for the apology and explanation.
This week as a result there surfaced on social media a "Church Hurt Is" and "Church Hurt" hashtag in which people were poking fun at people and church hurt. Yes I read some and was entertained, but I had to take a step back and think about it. From my own experience, I have been hurt by people in the church and told because I'm transgender, Gay, Queer, and liberated that I'm going to hell and that I can't serve. Yes it hurt, but I'm still serving Yahweh much to their disappointment.
My thoughts on this hashtag and joke are these "STOP IT. CHURCH HURT ISN'T FUNNY AT ALL!"
It is not funny. This is a serious matter. People have attempted suicide, died by suicide, have been depressed, and have left organized religion due to being hurt in the church. This hashtag does nothing to alleviate the pain.
These people including myself have also been maimed mentally, spiritually, emotionally, and monetarily by church folks and stupidity. People have also been molested by church officials but were controlled by people in power. People are condemned for no apparent reason other than control and the complexes that plague the church. Church hurt is something serious should not be joked about, but dealt with, talked about so that people can heal.
People dealing with church hurt don't need prayer or deliverance. We need counseling and therapy. We also don't need a hashtag poking fun at the hell that we've had to deal with because of misguided principles that claim to be Biblical.
Again IT AIN'T FUNNY!
