What’s It All About?
Ever since I was a kid, I wondered what made a best friend. Other than my twin sister, I didn’t have any real life examples, so I turned to the tried and true method of letting TV be my guide. Through viewings of As Told By Ginger and Sex and the City (when I was…

Old Dog, Meet New Tricks
They say with age comes wisdom, and as true as that proves to be time and time again, I think that old adage should be taken with a grain of salt. Obviously as you get older you accumulate knowledge that those who are younger don’t tend to have, but you can’t simply assume you know…

Oh The Places You Will Go
Life is all about the little wins. If you focus on where you want to be instead of where you are or how far you’ve come, you’re bound to be miserable. You’re bound to compromise yourself to achieve these lofty goals that you know in your head take time but you also think won’t take…

Winter Sucks: A Treatise
I want to start off by saying that I also hate Summer. Spring and Fall are the only seasons I tolerate, and that’s that. Despite how much Summer sucks with all of the sweating and the humidity and the massive discomfort of incredibly high temperatures (depending on where you live), I have to say that…

Outside Looking In
Growing up a black girl in the south, I’m no stranger to feelings of otherness. As an army brat, I didn’t really learn how to put down roots and create strong bonds, which made settling into my southern home where I spent ten years growing and learning quite the struggle. I wasn’t used to seeing…

Ambition is a Trap
I would consider myself a professionally certified daydreamer. Daydreaming is how I pass the time, how I keep my imagination sharp for storytelling, and how I set goals. As far as I’m concerned, daydreaming is synonymous with manifesting, and I refuse to listen to arguments to the contrary. I like my daydreams like I like…

It’s Not You, It’s Me
Dr. Phil once said that perception is reality, and as far as I’m concerned, truer words have never been spoken. I’m self aware enough to recognize that the way I see things is not the only way things can be seen, but that doesn’t change how I see things or the validity of my perception.…

Setting the Bar
I’ve been told on more than one occasion that my standards are too high, especially when it comes to dating. Some of my friends tell me that no one guy can tick all the boxes, and you just have to settle for the one who ticks the most or at least who doesn’t tick too…

Don’t Look Back
They say doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different result is the definition of insanity. Hot take, but I personally think that’s the definition of a strong will to succeed – or at least an attempt to. Of course I see where people who say that are coming from –…

Don’t Be Fooled By the Rocks I Don’t Got
I don’t know about you, but I’ve spent just about every day of my adult life asking myself, what am I doing? Every day has been an exercise is reassuring myself that, yes, I deserve the things that I have. My path may not look like the next person’s, but it’s still a path that…
