Growth is understanding that self sabotage is real and that sometimes, it is your fault. But further reflection helps you understand that sometimes hurt people hurt others and sometimes hurt people hurt themselves as a form of punishment because they don’t think they deserve any better. I know I deserve better. I know I should…

She has stars in her eyes
This is an unfinished post from January 2020… I have a theory. A wacky, 2 a.m. can’t sleep theory. When the universe was created all those many moons ago it was a Big Bang, right? And from the Big Bang came everything we know. I theorize that when our universe exploded into life and all…
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…
Love letter to us
Have you ever sat and thought about the craziness of some technological advancements? Can you imagine the look on the faces of the Wright Brothers if they took a flight from Philly to the Midwest? Could you hear the screech of Alexander Graham Bell as he explored an iPhone? Could you picture the look on…
I call that shit God
Lately, I’ve been having somewhat of an identity crisis. With my hair. As a black female, I change it a lot. As a black female with short–but not too short–hair, I can do a lot with it. Braids, curls, etc. etc. Recently, I’ve gotten into wearing this big wig. Now, the reason for this is…
Thumb war

Silent Prayer
Dear God, Give me strength to be the best version of myself. Give me courage to tackle things head on. Give me blind faith so powerful that whatever the obstacle I charge ahead without being my own worst enemy. I ask a lot, I know. I pray for many things that I should already have,…

Suggested soundtrack: The Winner Is – Mychael Danna and DeVotchKa I’ve always tried to be weirdly honest on this blog. I do this because I believe in transparency (even if it’s only with strangers) but also because I think it plays into the central goal of this blog: to better understand myself and my relationships by closely…
They’re baaaaack… 🎃
You wanna know the great thing about going through it many times in life? By “it” I mean the bullshit the universe likes to throw at you just to remind you you actually don’t have any real control but rather you are a pawn in its grand game of life. The great thing about going…
And just like that, all of me…
Hi friends. Well I did it. I finished the fall semester. I survived. Not unscathed (this is Camp Bobo) but I did it! Then I survived New Years. I have always attached sentimental meaning/ value to the actual day and the day before because I’m a cancer through and through. Emotions, connections — those are…
