That hurt, Sis

"Hey, Sis, this is going to hurt to hear, but that sucked what you said..." Why don't we tell our friends how and when they have hurt us before it's too late? What is it about our discomforting feelings that we shield them from others, knowing how their behaviors have made us feel them? Is it to not make them feel bad? Not make to a situation worse? Or trying to tough it out because feeling feelings make us feel? I don't get it. And I know I don't have the answers because I sit here now unnerved about a few things friends have done recently. If history holds true to repeating itself, I know what will happen next... I have been hurt by a friend therefore over time those unattended feelings will be shoved into a box I have titled "Do Not Feel." However, this box isn't made to hold years and years of unkept emotions and eventual some random shit will go down and I will end up feeling all the shoved resentment from this fragile box all a...

Searching for my Barack

It's been about a year since I've picked up and begun reading Michelle Obama's autobiography--Personal Memoirs, Becoming . It was a gift last year for Christmas in which I started reading feverishly. It's such a lovely read as she depicts some of her most vulnerable moments in time, all in all displaying the courage to speak on what has allowed her to become Michelle Obama she is today. One of the reasons I love reading this book and have enjoyed picking it back up again to finish is because I can see myself in her. And for me, it goes beyond relating to our dark melanin complexion. There is so much substance to reading about a woman who has truley had her fair share of battles faced, whether won or lost. I connect so much to many of her struggling moments and times in which she contemplated her decisions. I can relate to the nuaonce that she can be and is both a working educated business-driven woman who also LOVES her family and truly desires to bring them up with ...

Your Healing brings Joy, Sis

I love this picture! First off and most importantly it was taken by my very smart and favorite girl, B. It was December when life seemed so simple and we had decided to depart from the rest of the fam (untie and niece style) and do our own thing for the rest of the day. Coming to a stop at a red light, she told me to look back and smile as we headed to grab some lunch. This was December 22nd, 2019. And as I sit at my computer on June 22nd, 2020 I am brought to tears looking at this woman. My gosh. She was brave, ambitious, curious, devoted, kind, a little crazy, very silly, and loved hard with every inch of that big ol' heart of hers. It's ironic because as she looks back with joy in her eyes, she could not have foreseen what she was about to face once she turned back around. I am currently in a healing place. Many things have happened inside my heart space that is not yet ready to be revealed. Yet, I sit back and tear up looking at this not beca...
