My Bi and Sexual Epiphany

Feb 1, 2012 | 2012 Winter- When I Knew, Articles, Poetry

By Chiquita Violette

Looked once.
Blinked twice.
Questioned thrice.
Thought about it to myself one more time.
Got it fully that last time.

“She’s just got lovely eyes.” So what?
“She just has a magnetic personality.” That’s cool.
“She just possesses an intriguing intellect.” Smart is always awesome.
“Whoa! Look at those curves….” Stop staring. Go take a shower to “reflect” and to reflect. Then find a book on people like me.
“So women too, this opens more doors; that is a good thing.”

Chiquita is a 26-year-old human rights activist 364 days a year but for Halloween 2011, a Human Rights Goddess. Smoking hot while smiting haters!
