Ok, so THANK YOU Issa Rae for making a show that speaks to so many other aspects of my life! I was able to finally watch Insecure yesterday (because trying to find access to someone’s HBOGO has been a bitch) on YouTube (once again, THANK YOU). Word to the wise, if you watch it at work, put…

Happiness Isn’t Constant: A Realization
Recently, I had a sort of epiphany about life, and I feel like it’s going to change my quality of life in an amazing way. I have come to realize that it is ok to tell someone you are unhappy; because happiness isn’t constant. Once I adopted that mantra into my daily living, I have…
Hey Grandpa,
For a number of years I’ve written small dedications to you, in some form or another. Every year it seems that with a new accomplishment in my life, there’s a small sadness attached because you weren’t here to share in that joy. We are now in year 10, and my emotions still are all over…

Tears
You told me you would never make me cry, But I’m lying in bed with you, wiping away the tears from our last argument.

Empty
So, one of the blogs I follow throws out one-word prompts occasionally to help writers. One of the prompts was “Empty”. I think of this, and realize that it is a pretty good description of myself right now. Lately, I’ve been feeling like I have nothing left to give. I feel like I’m putting forth…
