I’ve been on a high. My birthday was everything and more. I’m in a way better space mentally, that I once only dreamed of. I’m efficient. I’m happier. I’m silently making moves mayne 😝.
Even with that 😅 days like today still come. I’m not sure if it’s hormones or if things are actually overwhelming. All I know is the pressure is real. Adulting is tough!

So y’all know I’m single right? Well my singleness does not factor in the fact that I am filled with so much love 😍. For the most part, I’m enjoying my singleness... you know, I don’t have to worry about juggling a busy schedule and working out dates. Nope.

There's something about pulling up to the front of the house and changing the gears to park. It gives me a sense of accomplishment. Finally! We made it. We survived another working week and this one had a tremendous amount of snow.
I usually enjoy a few minutes just browsing on my phone in peace and quiet before Gee starts screaming, "Mommy can we get out now?!"

I've written a paragraph and half text to the chief offender. I've binged watched two episodes of my latest favorite Netflix show, Cable Girls. I have taken a nap... and now I'm here.

I can't say it was sudden or awkward. I saw the clouds of the storm slowly gathering, but to watch it all unfold... I don't know. Honestly, I'm still short of words. It wasn't because I was scared. It wasn't because of the pain I saw and felt... It was more like a movie. Some sort of deja vu.

I spent most of 2018 fighting with God.
The last few years have been tough for me. A string of failures and disappointments, with a few high achievements and miracles, sprinkled here and there. It was like the more that I conquered, the more that was thrown at me. I couldn't win for losing.

I had a special guest last week.
It was a very ironic but much needed & appreciated visit.
It was my dear mama!!!

After a long day at the hospital, I'm excited to arrive at my front door. I put my key inside the lock, push the door open, and there I am. Our haven of peace and joy. I place my things down at the table and a sistah's hongry so I head to the kitchen while I yell, "Hey babe!"

The elevator doors close. Lucy is lucky I am loyal and would not leave a friend hanging! I told her I don't do club activities! Frustrated, I kept thinking about how I got dragged into going to this so called listening party. All she said was she needed a friend to go to a listening party a guy invited her to.

It was an ordinary September class day.... well almost. This day, my university was offering free on-site HIV testing. One swab, about a 20 minute wait and you would know your status. I went in there a lil fearful because I went to school with a lot of my church buddies and I was nervous about entering the clinic and seeing one of them.

In this world, so many things guide and govern a single thought process to a person's every action. For some, it is their religion, money, past experiences, passion, the hunger to excel or fear of failure. Me, one of the primary things I choose to allow to govern my life is integrity.
I find it amusing that children are not taught to lie.

I can worry, but I won't.
