Reject
As my understanding of certain situations expands I’m starting to realize more and more that some things are more common than I could’ve ever imagined. In-laws. Conflict with in-laws specifically whether it’s not getting along or not fostering a relationship at all. How do you handle the scenario where the future in-laws have made zero… — read more

Happy 56th
Today would’ve been the legendary Whitney Houston’s 56th birthday. While taking some time today to truly appreciate her music and legacy I stumbled upon something she said that really was the reassurance I needed today. The quote is “my mother taught me that when you stand in the truth and someone tells a lie about… — read more

1/4 down
The first 25 years of my life have been interesting to say the least. I’ve learned a lot about myself, life, people and the world I live in. There were a lot of dark periods but I’ve always managed to come out on top in time. I’m blessed to be closing this chapter on a… — read more

Triggered Pt 2
Last night I didn’t necessarily take the time out to write down what exactly caused me to relate so much to that song by Jhene Aiko. It’s a song I’ve heard so many times but for some reason last night those lyrics resonated in my mind all night. The month of July has always been… — read more

High maintenance
Today I realized that I’m not as high maintenance as I used to be. I cited getting older and feeling like getting my nails, brows, lashes etc done religiously is just too much work. I cited being young and not having much to do with my time. I cited being comfortable in my relationship. I… — read more

Self Care Day
Email I received earlier and thought it was worth sharing. I guess music has always been my “self-care” method along with writing my thoughts down somewhere. — read more

John Mayer
John Mayer is one of my all time favorite artists. His music has gotten me through certain periods of my life and they’ll forever hold a special place in my heart. Tonight he opened his summer tour in town and it got me thinking. Initially I was invited to go to the concert with an… — read more

Chants
Normally, I don’t focus much on politics or at least I try not to. The current administration is hard to avoid though. Last night there was a rally where supporters of the president chanted “send her back” and that struck a nerve with me for some reason. Being someone who migrated to these great states… — read more

Father Daughter
Today I had a longer conversation with my dad than usual. While everything is going well, I’ve noticed that my dad has issues with self forgiveness. And as I’ve gotten older I find myself going back to a lot of mistakes I’ve made in the past and I’ll replay situations and think of how I… — read more

USWNT
It’s been some time but I haven’t gotten a chance to reflect on my emotions from the World Cup overall. Ever since I went to see the US Women’s National Team in May for their last game before the World Cup my love for the game has been renewed I feel. I remember why I… — read more

Uncertainty
Today I was face to face with uncertainty. I spent most of the afternoon trying to figure out why the situation through me for a loop and it’s tough. I guess it comes down to hoping that there’s light at the end of the tunnel. A little faith never hurts or does it? — read more

Sociopaths
Today an acquaintance came to me with an issue. Hours later I’m still replaying the conversation in my head. I’m not quite sure how I became the person she confides in the most but I am honored. Not to should shallow but people like her are the reasons I pursued a career in this crazy… — read more

Level up
Isn’t it weird how when we see our ex’s new significant other the first thing we critique is usually their looks? Some will then go on to say some exes have downgraded. But how many will actually admit when it was not a downgrade but rather a “level up”? Sometimes we’re so focused on the… — read more
