I only asked to be protected. I wanted to be protected by a man. A man who wants to be here with me and I with him.
My heart hurts so badly with the agony of not being wanted. I’ve had many of men to fulfil many of my desires, and the feeling of being protected always come to play of this very void.
The feeling of them only want to blow me and enter my jewel box. I want to be loved, desired, and understood.
I want to build. I want to grow with the love of my life.
I’ve being consistent in building my nest. The one thing people don’t understand is consistency will take you to places you could never imagine.
I know! I know! I have God to protect me.
Being single has been a challenge for me. I hate being by myself. I have know one to make memories with. I have know one to make little moments to make lifetime memories. When I have a bad day I have no safeheaven. When I need someone to take up for me, I have know one to protect me.
I know I have God to protect you. I just want to be loved without conditions.
About Me
One day, I woke up and decided to share my thoughts.
My name is Ethel Rene’e Darnell. I’m a fourth-generation Oaklander, a mother to a 29-year-old son, and a grandmother to a beautiful six-year-old girl. I love to travel, drive up the coast, and visit century-old buildings, each holding its own story.
In 2019, I explored four countries—Haiti, Spain, France, and Italy—each leaving an imprint on my soul. But no matter where I go, I always find peace by the water. The ocean, with its rhythmic waves, soothes my spirit in a way nothing else can.
I hold a Master’s degree in Public Administration, specializing in Public Management and Policy Analysis. But beyond my credentials, I am a storyteller at heart. Writing has been my refuge for years—a place where I can express myself freely, without rules or judgment.
This blog is my space to share what’s on my heart. Whether it’s personal reflections, social issues, business insights, and mindset or the untold stories of people who’ve crossed my path, I write because I believe words have power. Power to heal, to inspire, and to connect.
Welcome to my world of thoughts, experiences, and unfiltered truths. I’m glad you’re here.
