  • I wake up to my personal belongings knocked this way and that every single morning; but I understand that I only have a limited time with my fur baby during the day. What is more important in that waking moment?  Discipline? Or love (mixed with a little bit more safekeeping on my end)?  It’s just…

  • We’re getting a little old for all of the drama and debate, so I’m gonna give it to you like this:  -A man that is intentional and in true love does not mind providing and protecting, without having to be begged.  -An intentional woman who is in love does not ask for much, and her…

  • Your safe space, be it a human, let’s say… should be an inspiration, not strictly a refuge. You have to be willing to be what you think you deserve… that requires metamorphosis… change. You have to emulate the behaviors you crave to experience… The safe space needs healing too- your proximity will not always help,…

  • • Is it Worth Being Alone?

    Lately I’ve been extremely lonely. It’s a recurring theme in my life. Whether the separation is by life or by choice, I’m always, always lonely.  This loneliness extends only to romanticism. I’m grateful to all of my friends and family for fulfilling me daily, I’m grateful to myself for showing up for myself. I’m grateful…

  • Hey, y’all! Long time, no see – I hope everyone had an amazing holiday with their loved ones. Spring is springing, and the mood is lifted! Not to mention, it’s this girl’s birthday month and national poetry month… I live!  My birthday was… as expected. Relaxing. Every year God sits me down by way of…

  • • A True Lover Girl’s Plight

    There hasn’t been an experience on this earth that has turned me off of love, yet.  I mean, think about it- it’s only rational to remain hopeful even after hurting, because what ends up hurting us isn’t love itself. It’s the pursuit of it; the emotions that come with the things we encounter that aren’t…

  • • The NERVE.

    There’s one particular reason I like to be out when it’s getting warm… people gazing. And no, not like Joe Goldberg… It’s more like sonder. I’m easily encapsulated by others’ stories that I don’t yet know, and probably never will. It’s a sad thought for a second, until a few new people pass by and…

  • • Why Aren’t You Embracing Brokenness?

    Every version of yourself is worthy of love, especially the unhealed version. Yes- even romantic love.  It’s such a cop out, telling others to stop looking for love in their unhealed states. It implies that brokenness is an unacceptable thing to hold space for, consequently turning love into an exclusive reward when it should be…

  • • How Much is Too Much?

    *I do not own this artwork* It’s so hard to pull back on love sometimes, especially when you know someone needs it.  I meannn, this is coming from someone who psychoanalyzes the villain of the story to try to pinpoint where love could have saved the day… So if this doesn’t interest you, see you…

  • Check on Your Friends, Please.

    Life is so hard right now- for everybody, undoubtedly.  But it’s especially hard for our friends with mental illnesses.  I think about that damned day 11 years ago every single time I lay my head down to sleep. It was Christmas Eve of 2014, and I didn’t want a taste of my grandmother’s cherry cheese…
