I'd like to say that when I went natural I was doing it for social injustice and women empowerment, but to be honest, I just got tired. I was tired of having to put so much effort into my hair. I was entering college, and I knew I wouldn't have the time or energy to … Continue reading What Being Natural Taught Me
Summer. Summer. Summer. Summer... If you know what song I would've led into with that intro, you get brownie points. Hint: It just might be from a Disney Channel Original Movie. What's my favorite season? Summer, baby!!! While I enjoy the festivities that go along with the holiday season, I don't necessarily enjoy the weather … Continue reading Summer Summer Summertime
If you're doing things to please other people, stop in your tracks. You will never live up to their expectations. There will always be something to change, something to mend, something to fix. They are molding you into what they dream you to be. What do you want? No, really? What do you want? Have … Continue reading You Are That Flower
Music is a huge part of my life. Even when I don't have something pumping in my headphones or I'm not jamming in my car or singing in the shower, I find myself breaking into song. I could hear a word or phrase that reminds me of a lyric in mid-conversation, and I find myself … Continue reading It’s Music To My Ears
Sometimes I don't know how to feel. My mind is telling me one thing, but my spirit is telling me another. I push myself to be optimistic, but pessimism lingers. It's only a little bit longer, I know God, but what if that little bit longer isn't what I want? What if the suffering was … Continue reading You Can…

I have a passion for writing, and I felt as though that major would lead me towards opportunities in my chosen career — journalism. My passion is also one of the many reasons why I started this blog. It's amazing to see so many … Continue reading A Year Ago Today
Mothers don't get enough credit. I'm sure my mom has a smirk on her face while reading this, but it's true. They worry (a lot) about their kids who they have carried on their backs for so long and have to watch drift away. They want so much to hold on for just a little … Continue reading This Is For You, Mom
Being resentful is as easy as breathing. You don't loathe a particular person or thing. You are hateful because you feel gypped, mistreated, undervalued. Why do they get to be in that position when I have worked just as hard as them? Why won’t they listen to me when we have been married for several … Continue reading Turn Resentment Into Joy
At the time of writing, it's Good Friday. This is the day that Jesus made the greatest of all sacrifices. Some imperfect beings beat, mocked and tortured him. To think that someone without blemish could be found as having fault shows the corrupt nature of our society. In fact, it doesn't warrant a sacrifice — … Continue reading What’s the Good in Good Friday?
"Do what you love, and you'll never work a day in your life." I believe this statement to be true, but in my most humble opinion, I find it easily misconstrued. It's not because I'm a glass half empty kind of girl. I'd like to think that I see the glass half full. Seeking to … Continue reading Do What You Love
