May I have this dance?

Things look a little different these days. I’ve said it before but I started this blog at a time in my life where I was sad and lonely and vulnerable. I’m still sad sometimes. And sometimes I feel alone in my struggle. But the girl who started that blog has changed. And thus, it’s also…

A philosophy of sorts

Sometimes you wake up and you look at yourself and you’re like, “Damn. I’m fly.” And it’s not just like you have a cute outfit on or your makeup is on point, it’s that you feel good about your insides and your actions and you may not know exactly what is going on at all…

Spence

My therapist is encouraging me to be as genuine as possible in everything I do. So I’m trying to do that more. Just be a little more upfront. Y’all are probably thinking “Bitch, you’re always upfront. What are you talking about?” To which I would say, “Yes. On here.” Trying to do that a little…

They will somehow make sure that your relationship is strong and…

…and a happy new year

Happy almost new year! Have to say, no matter what this evening turned out to be (not exactly the plans I originally had but interesting and fun nonetheless), it is light years better than last year.

I saw the signs, opened my eyes and now I’m here

Well hello there. Welcome to my wall. I am not a flower but I am a journalist, an introvert, a born-again blogger, and a law lover (quite irrelevant at the moment but necessary for future reference). A few weeks ago I went to a journalism conference that featured a talk by Laurie Penny and Elaine Díaz Rodríguez…
