If you're reading this... thank you.

Hi,

I don't know if any of these posts will ever be seen. But I do know that I was put on this earth to speak positive words into others. To be an encouraging force for everyone. I'm a messenger of inspiration. I want to take all the pain I incurred and turn that into an energy that empowers others that are suffering or needed someone to see them, when no one else could. I used to be that person who couldn't even see himself, and in some ways I still am. Everyday the fog clears up and with that the pain feels a lot sharper, but I'm learning how to manage and function in life again to be happy, at peace, and successful.

This space is for the Black community.

This space is for the LGBTQ+ community.

And if you are hybrid of the two... even more so.

I know I won't be able to relate or reach everyone completely through my words but even the smallest of connections and visibility will make my heart feel full. I'm hoping if you see this, then you'll join me on my journey in finding the power in my words. 


With gratitude

Stoney <3

A Message to Addicts -wondaboysays

Addiction is a bitch. My heart and prayers go out to everyone in the fight against it and to the loved ones of an addict. Neither of those positions are easy. Especially to my black LGBTQ+ addicts: you already have so much of the world against you while also battling your body and mind and that is severely easy. You probably have more strength in you than anyone has ever had. That should be commemorated. It should be Celebrated. Many of us know how drugs were introduced into lower socioeconomic and disenfranchised communities,  but in case you don't, blame our federal government. For intentionally instilling these substances into our communities so to make us sick, impotent, villainize us and kept under their heels. Being someone who has worked close to addicts, I'm aware of all the stigmas and antagonizing rhetoric spread around the disorder and disease of addiction. When you are at the mercy of substances, you will ultimately feel powerless. If you are an addict (of whatever...

The Wandering Nomad of Love & Sex - wondaboysays

As I sit here doing my homework assignment, I routinely dart my eyes back and forth between my homework assignment and the iMessages app to see the red bubble go up an additional number to see if the text will be from a man I don't even know like that. It's a very discouraging feeling to hate being whipped because to be freshly in love is a beautiful thing. Alas, that hate is prominent in me right now because I can't stop thinking about him and we've only hung out once. Being what I could only assume to be this "obsessed".... is normally condemned by society. I'll prepare my own crucifixion thank you very much. This won't be the last time I talk about this, but finding love as a black gay man in one of the most sexually fluid cities in America is one of the greatest jokes ever told. I wanna be clear that it's certainly easy to find lustful experiences here in LA, but when it comes to romance it feels like it is something so revered that it's no...

Things will work out in the end. -wondaboysays

you can't reach your potential successes, if you are constantly operating in a state of fear. It's so easy to get swept up into the modern day challenges that our society enforces us to face. Affording our right and bodily need to shelter, eat and have fun. But we can not be discouraged. Black people we can not be discouraged!! POC we can not be discouraged!! LGBTQ+ people we can not be discouraged!!! We have to be able to choose love and believe that things will work out in the end. It's the only thing that will keep us motivated to move forward. The only way we can attract abundance. Much love Stoney <3
