Woo lawd, I am busting my little rump over here trying to get ready for my first major IBJJF competition of the year, and lucky for me, it happens to be one week after my wedding. That was sarcasm by the way, in case you didn’t pick up on it. My brain and body definitely […]

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 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 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 […]

Cancel Me. After all, it seems to be like the new thing everyone is clamoring for when anything controversial or even a differing of opinions arises.

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 […]

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 […]

Life can go by incredibly fast, and with each day that passes, I am trying to learn to appreciate the little things a bit more. Quality time spent with family is something I am beginning to treasure and cherish, and rather than becoming frustrated with things like long road trips stuck in the car for […]
