Something Borrowed, Something Blue
This weekend I went to the wedding of one of my high school friends, and can I just say, I’ve never been both incredibly happy and terribly sad at the same time. As soon as I saw her in her wedding dress outside of the church, I knew God was at work when He put…

Dear You
There are a lot of people who I felt have really wronged me in my life, and instead of actually confronting them, I thought it would be incredibly cathartic to write an open letter to a few of them on my blog – enjoy! Dear You, I’ve had a lot of time to think about how…

Trust Issues
I feel like it’s some cliched thing that trust issues come from your family, namely your parents, even more namely your father. Sure a lot of people have great parents and fathers who love them and care about them, but that’s not the case for some of us, yours truly included. I believe in this…

Got Game?
Recently I have been going out of my comfort zone and signing up for dating apps. I signed up for Tinder, Bumble, OkCupid, Plenty of Fish, Hinge, and Happn. I would say the numbers were in my favor, but I know better. This isn’t my first foray into online dating; oh no, I’ve tried Tinder,…

Takes Two To Tango
I may be obsessing over relationships this month, but it is what it is. As far as I’m concerned, this is nothing new. I think about this stuff all the time, I mean, ALL THE TIME, and it’s deadening. Now you get to take a look into the open book that is my mind. I…

Whatever Floats Your Boat
I’m not sure how many times I’ve mentioned this, but I grew up in an incredibly milky part of the south if you know what I mean (white people everywhere!). As an African American, I’m not going to lie, I was often afraid of racism and ostracism. I went to a private school (scholarships woo!),…

New Slaves
Ignoring the presumptions of the title, this post will have nothing to do with race. Slavery as defined by the Internet is the state of being a slave, a slave being defined as a person who works very hard without proper remuneration. I don’t know about you, but that sounds a whole lot like unpaid internships.…

Potato Potato
Recently the news has been a buzz with stories about both the multitude of racist attacks and the newly passed federal law legalizing gay marriage. These stories were put side-by-side in a sermon I heard one weekend. The preacher or whatever they’re calling themselves these days (no hate toward church officials or anything; I just don’t want…

Minding Your Ps and Other Ps
With the advent of social media, there’s basically no such thing as a secret. Once it’s on the internet, it’s there forever. Some people walk on thin ice when it comes to posting things to social media, but others remain true to the selves they want to portray – whether or not that’s their real…

No Pain, No Gain?
Nowadays I feel like there’s a debate as to whether or not we should accept our bodies. It’s not like a real debate or a debate debate, but it’s something I think about a lot, so I’m going to make you think about it now! This time last year I had a personal trainer and…
