Author and songwriter LaTasha "Tacha B." Braxton is quite a complex and beautiful mystery. An intricately woven entity made up of everything right about creation. Her mind is a cavern of creativity. Her heart is big, but the love encapsulated within it is a buried treasure. The kind one wouldn't readily discover the significance of unless they were extremely determined and intentional about finding. Then there's her soul. Vibrant as a moonlight glow, but it's constantly at war. She's suffered a lot. Has been disappointed by most and naturally carries her skepticism openly of everyone who tries to get close. Her force field is not easily penetrable, but it's not impossible to. Her greatest joy is the life of her baby boy. A young inquisitive genius that has taught her much about life and challenges her to grow each day. If she was literally a flower. He would most undoubtedly be her water. This is her reason to live above all, and it's this unconditional love that causes her to flourish. LaTasha "Tacha B." Braxton's gift is her writing. This is how she communicates to the world. Whether it comes out in the form of music, poetry or in a novel. If you want to know exactly who she is, these are the chambers you can go to. Book Quotes: "My mother was already an abandoned soul, a misguided young woman who would subconsciously put herself into situations that starved her soul. The worst feeling in the world is to love someone who cannot love you back, to care about someone who can only care about themselves." "But what happens to the girl with no positive parental examples? What happens to the girl with the cold mother who conditioned herself to bury her emotions? And what happens to the girl with the father who is an example of who not to marry?" "Actions are powerful, but it's important to acknowledge that so are emotions. Emotional abuse can be the most painful thing a person can endure because it's abuse of your soul and mind." "Not every hurt kid is bad, and not every bad kid is hurt. Like everyone else on the planet, they're individuals. And we need to take our time identifying who is who, and what is what, for each and every one of them who appears to be struggling with life." "Abusers - they'll manipulate and they'll lie to you. And when you no longer give them that power, they'll try to manipulate your family or the people close to you instead. Abusers want everyone to hate you just as much as they do. It's sick. Their lack of morals and integrity is sick. The amount of hate they harbor in their hearts is sick, as are their psychopathic or sociopathic traits." "I would go upstairs with a fifth of liquor in my hand and lock myself up in my tiny room that could barely fit my bed. My bottle and my music became my vacation away from the realities of my pain as if I was living in my own country song. I would drink so much, I'd get sick. I would just sit on my floor and cry. I was so depressed, and inside, I felt so lonely and incomplete. I drank to escape every little bit of pain I had left to feel." -LaTasha "Tacha B." Braxton
