For the Black Girls With Secret Attitude Because Theirs Is Too Strong

Want to know a secret? I got a bad attitude. Only my family knows about it though. I cut my eyes harder than the best of them. I talk in a monotone voice when I’m annoyed.

The Highs and Low Tides of Purpose.

Last Week I felt the highest of highs and the lowest of lows. I felt like I had a purpose and was one with the universe only to afterward feel like I was pulled in the undercurrent by that same universe and asked dark questions that I had no idea how to answer. — This week I saw my first client and I won’t tell you all anything because you know HIPPA and all that, but I can tell you how I felt.

The Fine Line Between Hope and Obsession

It’s weird.

I think our obsession with wanting things is killing us. It makes me feel so sick when I obsess over all the things I want. I want…

I’m Starting to Slip Up.

There’s a hood saying that goes “won’t catch me slippin” Slipping means to be caught not on your P’s and Q’s your P’s and Q’ are your best first impression. — Being caught slipping means you’ve been caught out of your character.

Self-Care is a Means of Survival

You’ve had those days. Nothing was done at work. You were on the clock but your heart wasn’t in it. You spent more time watching cat videos than showing up fully for what you “need” to do. — If you’re a perfectionist like me, days like that scare you.
