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.

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…

I Wish
I watched this Christmas movie on Prime a couple of weeks ago and in it the main character was a wife and mother who seemed to have lost herself along the way. She married her high school sweetheart and she was a stay at home wife even though she had dreams of becoming a doctor in high school. Her husband was cheating on her (they never completely put it out there but that man was cheating with his coworker it was OBVIOUS), she only had one friend, and her mom died her senior year in high school from a heart attack. A little while prior to her mom’s death, she…

Letting Go
How do you let go of someone so close to you?? You know they’re no good for you and probably will never change, but still you can’t let them go? You still hold on to that little sliver of hope that just maybe one day they’ll change. It could be a family member, significant other, bestie whatever, but that person has some type of hold on you. It hurts you, the thought of letting them go even though deep in your heart you know they’ll never change. By holding on, you set yourself up to be let down. That person will use your hope to manipulate you. At the point…

Growth Through Celibacy
9/7/2020 made a year of me being celibate! Whoop whoop! Now if you would’ve told me at the beginning of last year I would be celibate for a year I probably would’ve laughed at you, but I made it and I’m so proud of myself (pats self on the back). This journey has been liberating and much needed. I’ve been learning so much about myself and it’s open my eyes a lot. I’ve grown closer to God and I’m excited to see where this journey goes. The most important thing this journey has taught me is my worth. At one point in life I found my worth in having sex.…
