I started this blog post in a completely different place, then where I ended up. This morning I read an Instagram post that several of my friends shared called 8 Uncomfortable Truths That We Need to Accept and I took a hard swallow. Call it my quarantine come to Jesus. I like to think I … Continue reading Headed for Self-Destruction
I Don’t Trust Me
This morning over breakfast, the topic of dating came up. I answered honestly when probed about why I wasn't dating, simply stating "I just don't feel like it." In an earlier blog I mentioned that I don't want to do the whole searching-for-a-mate thing anymore. I talked about how finding "the one" is not for me. … Continue reading I Don’t Trust Me
Ghost
I remember my first and only paranormal experience. I was in college taking a mid-day nap when all of a sudden, I was awakened by a cool wind. I tried to sit up, but my shoulders felt like they were pinned to my bed; I couldn't move my legs, paralyzed but unafraid. I felt like … Continue reading Ghost
Something is Broken
My dog, Cochise bit me. He didn't attack me, nor does he bite people, but him and his best pal Tyson got into a fight. Tensions started mounting after Christmas when they got into a spat over Cochise's toy. We thought they’d get over themselves and needed a break from each other, so we took … Continue reading Something is Broken
Finite.
Anything is possible, but not everything is probable. There are some things in life that are meant to be enjoyed and celebrated by certain people and some things that aren't. Some people are meant to experience life just as they planned, and some people are meant to have their plans eradicated. Like I always say, … Continue reading Finite.

Ugh. I'm app "dating" again. If you can even call it dating. I'm swiping right on people that I think look "normal" in their photos. I'm struggling. Tonight, I swiped right on a decent looking dude. His name is Alejandro and he's a marketing manager. Our conversation went exactly like this. Me: Hi Him: Hi. … Continue reading Swipe
You’re Perfect
Sometimes you have to give yourself a temperature check. Life can be so amusingly abusive sometimes and you have to take a look in the mirror and say "you aight?". Your job is making you question your entire purpose, your family is all sorts of crazy, your love life is unraveling like a cassette tape, … Continue reading You’re Perfect
Lawrence
Into every single woman's life, a Lawrence must fall. We all know a Lawrence; Lawrence is the unassuming, loveable, smart, emotional, funny love interest from HBO's Insecure. We have all met him, and if we're lucky, we've dated him. If things are good, they're really great. But like his former flame Issa, we may have met … Continue reading Lawrence
White Girl, Black Girl
I really loved this Gawker piece. About 1/4 from the bottom, the author's point of view showed that he is still working on gaining understanding within himself, but I think his purpose in writing this was a successful attempt to elevate thinking. What I feel the author was reluctant to say about himself was that … Continue reading White Girl, Black Girl
Forward
While reading a slew of resolutions and reflections on social networking this morning, I came across one that stood out to me. A girl I follow on Instagram posted that in 2013 she'd vowed to live without fear. She went on to explain all of the things that she's afraid of and how she's overcome … Continue reading Forward
