So I just got done watching the movie, Black Coffee on BET. The movie was quite interesting; but the part that caught my attention the most was the end. I will explain it a little: Robert was dating Mita at the beginning of the movie. Well, Robert lost…

Self-Care Sunday: Rest
In honor of Mother’s Day, I chose a self care technique that all mothers across America should be practicing at some point today: REST! Lol. Rest is probably in the top tier of self care tips, because without the proper rest, it’s like continuing to drive without putting gas in a car. Most times, we work…
Chill Out; We Still Care About That, Too.
I saw a post that really bothered me the other day; and truth be told, it bothers me on a frequent level (about as frequent as I see it). Everyone who’s not living under a rock or in denial knows that the world is in shambles, and between living in the era of #Cheeto45, racial…
Me Time
For the first time in possibly ever (with the exception of the 5 days I took out of the country, I took an entire week and a half off from my job and my adulting responsibilities (insert shock and *gasp*). I didn’t have any life-threatening reason why I did it (unless you count my slowly…
The Awkward Bird
Contrary to popular belief, I am an awkward bird. I’m ashamed to admit that as I approach 30, I feel more and more insecure about myself. I have yet to find a level of feminine comfort and security, and there are days in my life where I feel completely awkward and misplaced. I have…
A Lesson on Lying…
As a child, there’s always something that you’re getting in trouble for or known for in your family that will live on in infamy. My pitfall? Lying. My mother would tell you I used to lie relentlessly. I would lie like it was a language I was fluent in. She would ask me a question…
Ramblings.
Well, this week’s essay definitely won’t be as good as others. It won’t be my best work. It will be short, and it probably won’t make a lick of sense; which is why I decided to name it “Ramblings”. With everything going on, I didn’t really have time to separate my thoughts and choose a…
3 Harsh Truths About Your Personal Growth That No One Tells You — amber-janae.com
There was a time in my life when pain was my natural state of being. Darkness was comfort. It actually felt completely normal for me to be unhappy or unsatisfied all of the time. I reveled in dysfunction by choosing to entertain inharmonious, unhealthy relationships. These were things that were comfortable for me. I […] via…
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…
The Reveal
The recent publishing of my first novel, Playing with Fire (which is still available for purchase, click the link!) has sparked a fire in me that I have never had for my writing. Because of that, I have begun pulling together some of my favorite pieces for a poetry book (who’s title I am not ready to release…
