Early Morning Musings

Friday, October 18, 2013 musing...


I don’t like chaos. I don’t like crowds because I don’t like fighting blindly for a spot no one owns. I don’t like hurt feelings or dissension so sometimes I just walk away before I can do unto others worse than they have done to me. I don’t like being afraid but I love to be alone which is where fear usually looks for me. I don’t like being fake but I understand its usefulness as a mask to hide behind. I hate being lied to but sometimes it’s better than confronting the truth that I really don’t want to know. I hate being paranoid but only at the helm of paranoia do I seek clarity. I don’t like digs and will only entertain blatant disregard for a short time. I don’t like cowards and so I speak my peace lest I become all the things I despise because no matter what, I do like me.

The word love is so overused that is has become saturated and now it tastes like nothing.

My childhood super sucked and I took that shit like a soldier. Here’s the thing, today I own—don’t cross the line because I’m not a kid anymore.

Is love not more than a #hashtag?

When you build a wall to protect yourself against one person be warned--everyone is now out there except for you.

I have come to an understanding with myself that I will only excuse bad behavior if you directly apologize for it. No more just waving off how I feel for the sake of the perp's feelings. You don't have to grovel, but you do have to say, I'm sorry. Repeat offenders get let off too easy which leads to repeat victims. 

"When you ask for forgiveness it SHOULD be a humiliating and humbling experience so you won't forget NOT to do it again." - Pastor David Israel Madison


Chasity Rules

“If there's a book that you want to read, but it hasn't been written yet, then you must write it.” - Toni Morrison

I wanted to read about a new millennium woman struggling to maintain control over things in life that are beyond human understanding, love especially. I wanted to laugh and have a few “aha” moments. I wrote this book because I wanted to read it. Chasity Rules is exactly what writing is about—fun. Please let me know what you think. - Nakia

When it comes to love—Chasity Hall has rules.



Rule Number One: Never fall in love.
Rule Number Two: Always follow rule number one.
Rule Number Three: Never let a man fall in love with you.

After years of experiencing dead-end relationships, go-getter Chasity Hall has sworn off love for good. However, a happenstance visit up to the forty-eighth floor where she works sends Chasity head over heels in love again, and this time it is with a dazzling corner office suite with a killer view. The only problem for the purpose-driven fashionista is that Chasity’s single status is not working in her favor and she believes that an equally ambitious beau will give her the professional image of success she desperately desires. Upon the advice of Pia, her love-addicted best-friend, she hires an intuitive matchmaker who challenges Chasity to search inside her heart to finally discover her real one true love.

“Told with the simultaneous blend of vulnerability and wisdom that Nakia Laushaul is known for, Chasity Rules is an enjoyable quick read that will satisfy both hopeless romantics and truth seekers alike.” - Marguerite Benjamin Parker, Amazon review

“This is a great investment for your heart.” - Qiana, Amazon review
