2020 has been a hell of a year so far, and one that has left me with an abundance of questions with very little answers, and if I may add, a sour taste in my mouth. If it is so easy to hate someone we do not even know based on appearance, why isn’t it […]
Read moreToday, I sit in front of my MacBook, and I don’t have the slightest inkling on where to begin. There is so much to bring up and discuss and all of it entails tact and respect to the lives, emotions, livelihood, and people involved. I am not a person of color, I am in zero […]
Read moreThey say that comparison is the thief of all joy, and lately I have been seeing firsthand the reality of that sentiment. No matter how good things can be going for me, I’ll catch a blip of someone else’s social media, and I find myself mourning the lack of something I didn’t even know I […]
Read moreIt’s me, your average, everyday, slightly neurotic, rigidly scheduling, face punching, neck strangling, trying the best that she can blogging weirdo.
