Writing is Therapeutic for Me
What do you enjoy most about writing? The thing I enjoy most about writing is the ability to express myself. I sometimes have a hard time expressing myself, especially now with having to do speech therapy, but writing/typing it out really helps. I may not be able to get my words out clearly, but I don’t have to worry about getting tongue tied when I’m writing. It’s even easier for me to write my prayers down than saying them out loud bc I can really express how I’m feeling and express my gratitude for God that way. Writing is a form of therapy for me.

Grief Over a Parent
May 30,2008 is a date I’ll never forget. I may have forgotten a lot of details from the day, but the actual date I won’t. It’s the day my mother passed away. She had been dealing with an illness for a few years, but I still wasn’t prepared for her death. I had just recently graduated high school 8 days prior to her passing. She may not have been able to walk in there, but please believe she still came and looked nice too! I’m so happy and grateful that she was able to see me give my speech and walk across the stage. It’s been 15 years and I…

Strong Black Woman ✊🏾✊🏾✊🏾
One word that is often used to describe a black woman is “strong”💪🏾. She’s also thought to be independent and always the rock that everyone can lean on, but who can she lean on?? She’ll help take the load off of someone else’s back while she’s about to fall over carrying her load along with others! The title of being strong makes her feel weak when she has to ask for help or feel bad when she has to say no. But is that healthy🤔? Always being there for everybody else but not for yourself? Like the saying goes, “you can’t pour from an empty cup.” It’s hard being looked…

Simple Things Bring Me Joy 🤗💜
I’ve been asked sooo many times what brings me joy or makes me happy and for so long I didn’t know. The only things I could think of is good food and sleep. People looked at me crazy, but since I’ve been off from work I’ve had time to think about it a little more. SN: Now for the people that told me good food and sleep shouldn’t bring me joy, how you gonna tell me??! There are so many food blogs out here, so it’s safe to say that food can bring joy. A good night’s rest will improve your health and mood, so BOOM 💥! Ok back to…

🫣Vulnerability🫣
The Merriam-Webster dictionary definition of vulnerable is: capable of being physically or emotionally wounded; open to attack or damage. Why would I open myself up to being attacked or wounded?! Being vulnerable is hard or at least it is for me! A part of being vulnerable is getting comfortable with being uncomfortable. I believe strength and trust are vital for being vulnerable. It takes a considerable amount of strength and trust to put yourself into a position where you could potentially get hurt. The beauty of it though is that it can be beneficial regardless of how things turn out! Okay so the new bae turned out to be a…

The Social Media Trap
Social media can be a great resource but it can also cause a lot of trouble. When Facebook first came out I believe it was a great way to connect with friends and family. You had Facebook for college students and then for high school students. You even had to have an invitation to join the high school version. Now it’s free for all along with Instagram, Twitter, Snapchat, and any other social media platform that is out there. I feel like now social media isn’t just about connecting but instead it’s being used as a platform to show the world your success. If you’re not careful you can easily…
