I find myself thinking about how we manage friendships and our significant others and to be quite honest I find that somehow we have normalized putting friendships on the back burner as if they are not relationships that we need to maintain. That boyfriends/ girlfriends somehow come into our lives and it automatically means that … More Maintain or Sustain
I haven’t blogged in a while, but I have been itching to give you guys an update. I am in an interesting place right now. In theory, everything is going great and I should be happy. But because of my anxiety, I wake up everyday feeling extremely indifferent. Regardless of all my blessings, I just … More Existing is Exhausting
People say dwelling on the past isn’t healthy and we should focus on the present and hope to have a better future. I understand it, but I also don’t. I feel like most of my happier moments in life are all complied in a file, that is my past. I was happy, I was free, … More Trapped In My Past
I had a wonderful Thanksgiving last year. In fact, it was one of the best I’ve had in a while even though I never really had a bad one. This one however, was different because a few months ago, I really wasn’t looking forward to the holidays or my upcoming birthday due to losing my … More A Blessed and Mindful Thanksgiving
To say that I am in a place of frustration would be an understatement. I’ve been in this place for quite some time. I’ve actually grown familiar with this place although I’m not wearing that as a badge of honor. I’ve been in this place since last summer. Actually, this fortress of frustration led me … More Ready for It to All Make Sense!

Two life strikes exist for black women in the world without adding other titles as it relates to sexuality, education, or values. Realistically, most women of color are seen but the world rarely stops to hear us. We aren’t heard until we are figuratively screaming and by that time the damage is done. Can you … More Who Saves the Black Woman?
Now how many of us have accidentally found ourselves in situationships without the slightest idea how we got there? How many of us have let the results of past encounters dictate the trajectory of the next? If you’ve never been in either situation, I’ll pat you on the back for clearly being better at identifying … More #RedFlags: Misha’s Room- Speeding
These days dating for me is pretty nonexistent. In every direction I turn, I see red flags coming at me. It’s the quickest way to send me running back to my safe place. I used to stick around to see where things would go, even after having all the flags thrown in my face. That … More #GreenFlags: He Made It Hard For the Rest
There’s nothing more disappointing than being ready for love and not having the right candidate. Having options is great, but it will never compare to having a king who prioritizes your companionship. When a man solidifies his connection with a woman, it lets us know that “it’s real” and not just momentary. This solid foundation is … More Mr. Right Now (part I)
