Still by Nia Forrester

You ever read a story that made you question your life? This was it.

I don’t know about y’all but sometimes I feel like I’m running out of time. Time for love, marriage, kids, all of it. And then when I have these doubts, I’m like, but “I could have these things and be terribly unhappy!” And so things like fear of the unknown, people’s judgement, discovering my own self-worth and all of these things come into play. But I don’t know what’s going to happen. Who knows how their life will turn out?! This story is basically my fears come true. My fears of my choices, and how I’m doing everything wrong. Ughhh.

But this short story about life is tragically beautiful. It was sweet and delicate and just nice. It honestly gave me Color Purple vibes! It just felt like getting a peek into someone’s real life. The love, pain and regrets.
