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. My resting bitch face has made children cry. I am big moody diva energy personified. — But at work and in life I am smiles and agreeable bubblegum. Whenever I show my true colors I get written up at work. I get asked if I’m okay. …

Who The Hell Am I?

Seriously. Someone tell me right now. I have no idea. — This is a fun time. I have no idea who I am or what I am doing on this planet. I tried Program Management, Case Management and now I’m trying psychology in order to soothe my intergenerational guilt and psychosis. Before that, I tried music, art, theatre, and writing. It’s…

Quit, Recommit, Repeat. How I plan to defeat the cycle of falling apart.

I recently had a really cute mental breakdown. I would rate this one a 6/10 would not have again but definitely understand why it happened. I also took off points because it’s not for a new reason. It’s because I burnt out again. I spun out of control. …

Another Toxic Job

I haven’t written here in a while. Because I was in another toxic job.
