I Thought They’d Be Here Later
Grief. Something we all experience in one shape or form. It is inevitable. We have to accept it. It's going to hurt; it's not going to be easy, and only time can mend it. After losing a few people I thought would be here later, I realized just how fragile life and time really are. I've always struggled with this topic, but I'd like to share how it impacted me over the years. As we go through life, we tend to get sucked into the routine society sets for us, school, climbing th

Bird Brain.
I know you’re bad for me. I know this will end the same way it always does. And somehow, I still go back. Maybe I’m addicted to the pain.

Six Months In The Big City
Hi everyone, I know this update is long overdue, but I wanted to finally put it out there. This won’t be as in-depth or analytical as my previous updates. The past three months have been very eventful and, honestly, just a lot. I’ve had some really high moments and some very low ones. I wish I could be as detailed as I usually am, but my blog keeps getting me in trouble, LOL. It’s okay, we ball though. To begin, I celebrated my birthday here in the city (read that post!), and

Lover girl
I think what we avoidant, tough, non-lover girls believe is that we would never be like “other girls.” We think we would never be weak for a man or fall to our knees for one. We tell ourselves that men can’t hold onto us or manipulate us the way they do lover girls. So when we finally reach that point, when we realize that, at the end of the day, we are just girls , something inside us shatters. We think: He did it. He broke down my barriers. He got me to soften for him. He t

Am I Meant For Destruction?
I recently saw the scene of Shark Boy and Lava Girl, where she desperately asks Max why he made her like that. "Everything I touch I destroy. Why did you make me like that? I have more potential." I felt her. I didn't know that scene from my childhood would resonate so deeply with a 20-something-year-old version of myself. I destroy everything that comes in my path. Before it shows me that it's not out to hurt, I ruin it. I have to protect myself first. But while I'm protecti

Birthday Girl!
Monday, November 9, a queen was born! I just celebrated my birthday, and I've officially entered my late 20s. Which means I'm officially old. On my previous birthday, I wrote a little letter to myself because that year was one of the toughest I've ever been through (and I pray it stays that way). I reflected on all the trials and tribulations it brought me, but this ode is going to be a bit different. I am super grateful for the last year of my mid-20s, as it taught me a grea

I Finally Understand Why God Didn’t Let It Work
I finally understand why God didn’t let him and me work out. Not only were we two twenty-somethings who had never had a real relationship or known what it truly meant to love and be loved, but we also just didn’t match. There was no true compatibility. Yeah, we liked each other and had strong feelings, even love, but that’s not what it takes to sustain a relationship. Our key foundation was missing: understanding. I felt misunderstood, even when it came to the simplest things

My First Lent (2025)
After such a rough and challenging 2024, I knew I needed to let God and Jesus know how grateful I was for getting me through that season. And I thought, what better way to show thankfulness than to participate in Lent? I had never truly practiced Lent before. I tried once in 2024 but didn't make it past the first few days. However, I was so thankful for God's protection and healing that I felt I had to follow through this time. Some of my family members observed Lent, but th

Villain
For the past couple of months, I've been wondering if I'm the villain. Why? Because four men have blocked me in three months. Now, I'm not the one to care too much about what men do, or say, or their feelings for that matter. But my most recent block came from someone I really loved. That's when I started thinking: if four men can block me in such a short time, maybe I'm the common denominator. Perhaps I'm the problem. Surely I must be the problem, right? "Damn, what did I d

Three Months In The City!
Three months in the city, that has a nice ring to it, doesn't it? You guessed it: this is my three-month update from New York City. The second and third months here looked more like how I thought my first month would've gone. I've done so many things, so many explorations. I've met new people, gone out, and just lived. It's been a fantastic experience. I've learned that there's so much to do here, and you'll want to do everything, which also means everything is expensive. Y
