Comfortable

I’m not trying to say you should never be comfortable in your life, but that you should never get too comfortable. Life is a gamble... [lighter flick] “and I’m all about my poker chips.”

Never Settle

Aye so look, ya girl has NOT been to her regular 9-5 in 3 weeks and it’s been AMAZING!!! This year I’ve already been striving on this spiritual journey and indulging in self love while also showing love to others and it’s been great but not working at that job... 10/10! The month of August … Continue reading Never Settle

What’s Left

I am nowhere near where I want to be in life but I’m taking the steps to get there. These 20 somethings are a lot to handle and it’s better if we see that we’re not the only ones going through certain things.

I made sure I was calm, cool, and collected before returning back to work. I made a plan and I was good. Even when everything … Continue reading Don’t Hurt Yourself

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
