I told myself I wasn't going to write about any of this. I committed to prayer, healthy grieving, practicing self care, and getting through it on my own, alone. Or at least I thought I did ... because now here I am ... doing what I do, writing. The last few months my heart has been broken over, and over ... AND over again. On October 18, 2018, after four in a half years, my relationship suddenly ended. Now I know what your thinking, "Girl you remember the exact date?" Yes, un

As an African American woman I know what it feels like to have to switch personas. Talking to my peers is a lot different than talking to a customer at work or someone at a professional meeting. As a mixed woman, I know how to switch personas instantaneously without subconsciously knowing. I grew up being around my white side of the family 90% of the time and my black side about 10%. I was raised in a single parent household with my mom, whom I love very much. She's always ta

Sitting at home watching The Quad on BET thinking, "Damn, I wish I would've went to an HBCU to pursue my degree". When I was in high school I had dreams to pursue my business degree at Clark Atlanta University. At the time my aunt lived in Atlanta, Georgia. I had never visted there before but just by the way she talked about her new home, I was sure I would love it. Senior year came so quickly. I guess adults weren't lying when they said high school will go by fast. Figuring

Where have I been? That is the question... I've been really low-key since the New Year. I wasn't really feeling the direction my blog was headed. I needed some time to think about what exactly I am trying to accomplish and share with you all. After a while I started to get caught up in the blogging trends. Thinking I needed to do and cover it all. Now, I am just done with all of that. For now on everything I share with you all on here is going to be because I am genuinly pass

"Be leery 'bout your place in the world You're feeling like you're chasing the world You're leaving not a trace in the world But you're facing the world" - Solange Knowles MOOD - Always... now, later, forever ... Self discovery is on-going. It's tough and just when you think you've finally found yourself... you'll realize that you've changed once again, and it will be a new process all over again. The cruel world we live in is to thank for that. No matter how big of a hear

Unfortunately I don't have a fabulous outfit to share today. I'm at home in sweatpants, waiting for my sister and the food to get done, lol. This year is a little different than usual. Thanksgiving is very small this year. Usually I go to my aunts and spend the holiday with all of my extended family on both my mom and dad's side. This year my mom is cooking a small dinner for me and my sisters. Which is perfectly okay with me. I get to enjoy my day off at home in comfy clothe

Around this time last year I wrote a blog post called 'Quarter-Life Crisis'. That post talked about how lost I was at that stage in life. I was experiencing friend breakups, worked for a company in a field that I didn't really enjoy anymore, I started doubting my passions, and I just overall was having a really tough time finding myself. Now a year later, age 24, I see that things do get better. *I've lost a lot of friends over this past year. Although some of those losses hu

Wear this, wear that. Do this, do that! I can't tell you how annoying it is when everybody thinks their opinion is golden and you better take their advice "or else". Now I am extremely accepting of helpful criticism. However, the way you deliver that criticism is extremely important. I can be really sensitive when it comes to things I am passionate about and the last thing I want to hear is negativity from anyone while I am in the process of exploring myself and trying new th

An introvert is a person who is predominatly concerned with their own thoughts and feelings more than the outside world. It is basically someone who often finds themself inside their head. They are typically more reserved and think things through before acting or responding. Introverts get tired after a lot of social interaction and need time alone to recharge. Usually an introvert would rather spend his/her time at home reading or practicing other hobbies. Strengths: Creativ

What does it mean to be a fierce woman? A fierce woman knows who she is and all that comes with her. She accepts herself for exactly who she is and loves all that she is. Being fierce is being strong, courageous, confident, and most importantly, unapologetic. It's understanding and accepting that nobody is perfect. Each day I try to be fierce and flawed in everything that I do. Some days are better than others. Some days my insecurities creep up on me and make it hard to stay
