When I tell you I was not born with one minuscule maternal bone in my body, that is the God’s honest truth. So, naturally, I became involved in a committed relationship with someone who had children. If I would have been told years ago that this was my path in life, I never would have […]
Read moreAnd The Hits Just Keep on Coming
If you follow me on social media, you’ve probably seen the rough patch I have endured recently. It first started with my Bubbe (grandma) passing. I was lucky to have her in my life for so many years. She lived to be 91 and I spent several hours with her a few days before she […]
Read moreThe People That Made Us
They say that people come into your life for a reason, a season, or a lifetime. I kind of believe in the mindset that nothing is really ultimately up to chance, and the people that flit in and out of our lives due so with a purpose, even if it is a harsh lesson to […]
Read moreGratitude
Gratitude. One simple, small little word with a whole lot of depth and meaning. We are but a microsm of the universe; here for a finite amount of time and simply a blip on the radar that will mean almost nothing to practically the entirety of the world. To the few who matter though, we […]
Read moreI’m Bad at Love
Taking a page out of Halsey’s book because there is no other way for me to put it then to simply say, ‘I’m bad at love.’ What I mean by this is I’ve always been stubborn when it came to relationships, and not just the romantic type. I struggle to build bonds and form alliances […]

I just came back from a 4 day vacation in the beautiful country of Jamaica where I enjoyed the food, soaked up some sun, and got hit with a surprise proposal during […]
Read moreWWJD?
I wonder how many of us, off the top of our heads, can think of that one person in our lives who despite all their valiant efforts, gets shit on more than the #1 star in scat porn. Sometimes, no matter how good of a person they are, life continuously deals them hands where they […]
Read moreAnd in the End, the Love You Take is Equal to the Love You Make
Love is the most powerful force in the world, capable of burning down whole cities, destroying empires, igniting wars, facilitating a new era, fostering the growth of a nation, and conquering any demons threatening to dismantle our entities. Nothing like love can be as capable as causing so much pain and hurt, but also instilling […]
Read moreF*ck Your Feelings
Feelings are often attributed to what makes us human in life, the sole connector to our minds, body, soul, and spirit. But emotions are flawed and fickle; they can cloud our judgment and trigger inflammatory responses and knee jerk reactions and dilute our thought process. It’s a never-ending battle that exists within us, choosing between […]
