Love, Lies, and Life.

Love, Lies, and Life.

By Rahsaana Ison

I am Rahsaana Ison hailing from New Orleans, Louisiana. Welcome! This podcast touches on a little of everything under the sun. I've been there, I've done that, and I got the T-shirt and I want to talk about it! Love Lies and Life started out as an outlet for me to express myself after I got stood up for valentines day a few years back! Bastard! It's wasn't the first time something like this has happened but it's damn sure going to be the last. LMBO! I turn lemons into lemonade. Let's talk! Whatever I haven't seen, heard, or done I would like to learn.

Oh My Goodness, I joined a dating site at the age of 50!

Oh My Goodness, I joined a dating site at the age of 50!

Today is 5/26/20 at 4:03 pm I was about to turn 50 in a few months and soon to become an empty nester.  I would finally be able to live a little find a man that would fall madly in love with me and I would fall madly in love with him. We would make a lot of money together and travel all around the world. He would be interested in cryptocurrency, Blockchain, and the stock market just like I was.  It could happen, right?

Love is out there! I know it is. But, he hasn’t bumped into me yet! This particular guy I’m referring to woke me up out of my sleep at 4am to ask me who this is? What? Ohhhhh no! I can’t deal with this. You are the reason I’m single Sir! Couldn’t you have waited until a Reasonable time to call someone to ask them who this is?

Why didn’t you introduce me to your single friends?

Why didn’t you introduce me to your single friends?

I was posed this question by The woman I call my fairy god sister. Remember I tell you is melanin people love giving people nicknames. I started this dating journey reading a book in titled channeling Becky and I was supposed to document my dating experience and I fell off. However, while reading the book I was asked the question why didn’t your married friends introduce you to their single friends? So I asked them and this is the response I was given....

Diamonds are to be searched for!

Diamonds are to be searched for!

Diamonds are to be searched for but I guess I shine so bright it's blinding? You can call it women’s intuition... I call it the moment I messed up! I thought he liked me. I thought he was interested in me. Hell, I can't tell and I can't blame no one but myself. I thought I knew what I had to do but my loving, goody to shoes, kind hearted, keep on ya gonna get your feelings hurt, ways took control. I had a moment where I knew the ball was no longer in my court. I felt the wind slowly seep out of the possible of a romantic relationship. I didn’t follow the rules. THIS DATING SHIT SUCKS! Be busy... ok! Don’t text.... ok! Don’t call first... Ok! I broke all the rules. I hate rules!!!! I (think) I COULD REALLY LIKED HIM and that's where I messed up. I lead with my blind, loving, kind, heart and not with the rules! I became a fixer. I became a listener. I became a problem solver. I became a motherly. It may have costed me suitable man or It may have saved me from a heartbreak. Ok! Well, I have to get back out there and try again. I can imagine a drill sergeant yelling "Get Up Soldier!" "DATING IS A WAR!" MOVE IT! MOVE IT! Thank you for the lessons King! I had fun one that one date (LOL). You are a great man and father! I wish you well KING. I wish there was some way this could have been easier. I take that back. I realize there is no easy to learn how to love and how to be loved. This is all apart of something I have to grow through. My name is Rahsaana and this is not the end of my STORY!  I'm a Diamond!

I was almost Sandra Blanded last night

I was almost Sandra Blanded last night

What would you have done if a white cop showed up with gun drawn at a children’s party? That is the question that I had to answer last night. I encountered a racist cop That said he was responding to gunfire. There were no guns at the party besides his. I asked the cop without a drawn gun what was going on? He responded but the cop with the gun wanted to answer. Things got a little ugly!

Why is dating so hard for me?

Why is dating so hard for me?

As of today I feel like dating is just not for me. I am horrible at dating and there’s a good reason why... I was never really taught how to date. I’ve listened to advice from many sources but nothing is working. I just want to know...Why is dating so hard for me?

Should I have a relationship with my father that walked out?

Should I have a relationship with my father that walked out?

This is a very difficult topic. I am not bashing fathers that walked out. I’m saying from my own experience with the impact that it has had on my son and I. I wish I would not have been so forgiving. He never came back to help or to heal. It was to steal, kill, and destroy. Our lives are not over and there will be a happy ending for my son and I. Thank you for listening.

Fathers who abandon their own children but take care of his new woman’s children

Fathers who abandon their own children but take care of his new woman’s children

Tonight’s episode is deadbeats. I really didn't want to use that word but how else could I explain it? I actually didn't use the word in my original draft of the description of the episode. This is my very own personal experience. This is from what I have seen with family and friends. It's so very painful and private but I had to share my story. So I will be discussing fathers who have kids of their own but for whatever reason had walked out on them. OK! So are you following me here? The same man that will not be a father to his children will however be a father and provider to other children. He goes off and somehow knows how to be a nurturing father to other children. He is now spending time and providing financially for children that he may or may not have created. This is such a touchy topic but I had to put it out there. This is why you should really consider who You are having children with. If you didn't want her to be the mother of your child why did you have sex with this person? Now, just to be fair there are deadbeat mothers out there. I don't know any personally but I have heard a few men talk about raising children on their own. Ok, wait a minute! I have a friend who married a woman and she left him to raise her kids. That's right, her kids. These are not his biological children. He has never had children of his own. This is what he told me! I have to say this sounds so unbelievable. She ran off to be with another man but I don't know if she raised his children or if he has children. Wow! Just wow! I could never leave my children at the babysitter and be in complete comfort. I couldn't wait to see my children at the end of the day.  Let’s talk about it tonight on love, lies, life.
