Thug Passion

On one of my old laptops the background represents who I am deep down inside. It’s this background of some roses, so vibrant and full of life, with the words “Thug Life” written across the middle. You couldn’t tell me I wasn’t about to get that tattoo either - the one tattoo my mom pleaded … Continue reading Thug Passion

But It Feels Right

Maaaaannnnn why does the wrong thing feel like the right thing? There’s like an adrenaline rush that comes with doing the opposite of what I know I should be doing. Back in high school I broke curfew several times KNOWING there would be consequences because I was having more fun staying out then I would … Continue reading But It Feels Right

Forgive and…

My mother always taught me it was important to forgive and forget when someone does you wrong. She said it was one of the Bible’s many important lessons and that I should adhere to it. The whole concept seemed dated to me because why did I have to forgive the person AND forget what they … Continue reading Forgive and…

Warning: Triggered

It’s hard to let things go sometimes. You feel you’ve processed the situation and you’re ready to move forward but then there are still the lingering questions of why it happened and why it had to be you, again.... triggered. [imagine Jhené Aiko’s Triggered starts playing softly in the background] There’s this one situation with … Continue reading Warning: Triggered

I’m really not the type to play it safe with most things, like I’m quick to jump the gun when I see an opportunity, but lately I’ve been all timid when it comes to my plans and trying too hard to … Continue reading Faith Back Jumping

Setting Boundaries

So lately I’ve been working on putting limits to certain things; you know like protecting my energy and keeping my thoughts positive and all that yada yada.

Soul Cleanse

Last week I decided to take myself on a self proclaimed “soul cleanse” just to realign my focus and work on my spiritual health. Lately I’ve been trying to exude more positive vibes and really taking the time to breathe deeply and make affirmations for my life. I’ve also been working on cleansing the negative … Continue reading Soul Cleanse

Waneisha Lately I’ve been trying to analyze my thoughts and actions more i.e be more self aware.

Superwoman The Villain

I keep a lot of things that I shouldn’t, things that represent memories of simpler times. I kept them to remember the good and ignore the bad or the red flags that were always there. Too busy trying to be Superwoman and change a dead situation that I didn’t realize how much of a villain … Continue reading Superwoman The Villain
