    Susan Horton

    Imagination is a wonderful thing. The mind can fathom almost anything the heart is willing to believe. For instance, I wanted a way to help others understand the anguish someone with mental and emotional issues goes thru and thru the power of imagination, I was able to create the story of Becka Lassiter and her journey to herself. Up until the most recent events, Becka's existance has been a random series of occurances. She awakens to find herself "Knee Deep in Crazy" andd has to face some harsh realitiies to make it back to higher ground. I too know the pain of emotional disablity. I was treated for PTSD and believe me, I had to come to some harsh realities. Achieving clarity is no easy feat, but if one is willing to accept the past and willing to let go of what happened, it can be done. One thing I noticed during my recovery is that there is a total lack of compassion for someone who is experiencing M/EI. She's crazy, or the one's who take notice to your dimentia like to call out their own personal diagnosis for what you are feeling. This is a form of bullying. Most people will not seek help for their condition because they fear it will stigmatize them and cause a more serious fate. It was certainly the factor in my case. I was sick and afraid to get the help I needed because I feared what others would think of me and how it would affect my lifestyle. Currently I am residing in Atlanta, Ga where I am looking for ways to help those who are in need of a support system for all those invisible illnesses. I intend to use every resource available to bring about a more tolerable environment for the aforementioned to recover.

      The Pimps…

      The Players…

      …and the Virtue Slayers

      The Pimps…

      A pimp by definition is one who sells the company of women for a price, but in all actuality, a pimp is someone who will do anything…I do mean A-NEE-THING to get some money. He will perform the tricks himself in order to get what really drives him. He is a weak individual who brags about how much he loves his mother, but treats other women with total disdain. This type of man also leases his services of protection and guidance to this same woman who is indebted to him and fulfills her obligation by sleeping with other men to repay it.

      A pimp has one true love and that is money. The clothes, the cars, and the fancy colognes are tools of the trade. It is merely flash and an illusion of security. Truth be told, this man is mentally, socially, emotionally and spiritually drained. He is a shell of a man who is trying to fulfill an empty existence with things and a faux financial status. He herds empty women into stables of carnal pleasure, and even though he will persuade this woman to work for him and convince her that they are a team, he is only interested in the dough.

      This definition is a common understanding and has been the norm for centuries. This story however will take a look at pimping from another angle. For so long women have been taken advantage of by some man who is in it for all he can get out of her. He will pretend to love her and pretend that he has her back all in the hopes that she will take care of him financially.

      There are countless women who will settle for this treatment because they feel they have nothing else and will not get anyone else if they let this loser go. This is how the pimp is able to keep her in check. The old fashion pimp uses brute force, mind games, or drugs to keep his ladies in check, but an emotional pimp uses loneliness and low self esteem to corral his lover and keep her in his debt. She will do anything to keep him and he knows it.

      Hi my name is Wanda and I want to share my story. I had had it with the brothahs…not your mother’s son, but men of color, so I decided to explore the rainbow and see what else was out there. I hadn’t had any better luck with other races until one day I was walking along eating my favorite hot wings and chucking the bones out as I strolled thru Allie’s Park. When I heard the most peculiar voice say:
