Some of you may remember I launched my own podcast in September of last year. I had an amazing, eye-opening time speaking with various friends about love, relationships, mental health, finances and other ‘triggers’. Your triggers may not be mine and vice versa. However, one thing we all have in common is we have something […]
Here we are at the beginning of another new year. I hope you all have had a wonderful holiday season and feel energized to conquer the path ahead! First of all, I apologize for going so long without providing any content on the site. Life and several projects happened, one of which I am excited […]
“You must be sensitive because you’re a poet”. This is a common perception people have of me. Sometimes they’re right. Sometimes they’re wrong. It can be so easy to fall into the expectations of others without truly knowing who we are inside. The creative person (artist, author, musician, etc.) is one that is often misunderstood. […]
Why do people insist on pushing people with chill attitudes? If there was ever a walking billboard for “Don’t let the smile fool you”, I would be the advertisement. Even as I’m writing this blog today, I had to professionally (as best as I could) let someone know they were stepping way out of bounds […]
Alright, so it’s not what you think. I’m sure some of you reading this may have a few instances where you wished you pulled out, but we’ll save that for another day. When I mention pulling out figuratively, there are more than a handful of situations where I did the opposite. The older I get, […]
Why are some people uncomfortable with being alone? I’m probably not the best person to answer that question, since I grew up as an only child. I’m used to my oneness and at times, I often prefer it. However, when the pandemic was a few months in full swing, there were moments when I did […]
I admire people who don’t care what people think about them. At times, I am that person. At times, I am the furthest from that mentality. Often, I could care less about what strangers, people I dislike or people who have no power over my money think about it me. However, it’s close relationships that […]
I’ve had a few health scares in the past. There was the time I had my first gout attack on April Fools’ Day (go figure) in 2019. Then there was the time a doctor tried to prescribe an antipsychotic drug for me (that I didn’t need), all because the “side effect” would ease my back […]
When relationships fail, it’s so easy to blame the other person. Really easy. However, even the darkest, most horrible relationships have two sides. It takes two to feel and reciprocate love. It takes two to convey and receive understanding. Nonetheless, we sometimes run into repeat situations because we haven’t dealt with the elephant in the […]
The older I get, the more I realize there is no linear plan to success. When I was younger, I thought if I went to school, got decent grades and worked hard, I was guaranteed success. Honestly, I couldn’t have been further from the truth. About ten years ago, my passion for writing (poetry specifically) […]
