Water No Get Enemy

1: Let’s Grab Coffee

This is a new series on blog, not a new concept. Where we grab coffee and talking about things. Similar to what you’d do in real life. If we were to grab coffee: I would order a cold brew with sweet cream. that has been my drink of choice for almost two years now. I can’t get enough.I would ask you how you are doing in this current climate. There are so many changes, fears and dangers. I would…

Beauty Secrets from Tracee Ellis Ross

I don’t want it to be my funeral dress. After the funeral, I washed the dress and hung it in my closet. Anytime I would want to wear it, I would tell myself that it was my funeral dress, so I couldn’t possible wear it on a normal day. My fear was that it would bring back memories. I was afraid the pain I sometimes forgot would return and I had no business purposely inflicting heartache on…

I feel like somewhat of an imposter writing about grief, as I don’t fully understand it. I have written it in my mind several times, because I need to put into words how I feel. But I am finding that grief is complex and somewhat unexplainable. Similar to the confusion I felt and still feel the day I was told, “he has gone to be with the Lord.” Grief is never ending, unlike his life which…

This will probably be one of the hardest thing I have ever written, but I want to write it and leave it behind, if I can. This year started with a loss, and ended with a loss. There were people I thought I will be ushering in the New Year with, but it appears death had another plan.  2021 was cruel. Throughout the year, there were things that would happen, and my response was always, so long…

My Experience with Better Help and Therapy

I am an avid defender of therapy and I believe everyone should give it a shot, but unfortunately for me, therapy was not for me and it might not be for you either.  A couple of years ago when I found myself in a really depressive state and no words to describe how I felt, I started playing with the idea of therapy, but because of how much I knew it cost, I stopped thinking about it, a couple of…

Being vulnerable while caffeinated is my favorite pastime, so I’ve decided to start going on coffee dates with you and tell you all my business. Please tell me all your business too. (this is not an original idea) If we were on a coffee date: I would order a dirty chai latte and a plain bagel with honey butter. I would tell you how I have missed writing with my entire being and how desparately…

GROWING PAINS || On New Beginnings and Endings!

“ I don’t want this to end…” Those were some of the last lines that Sinclair James spoke in the 90s sitcom Living Single during the finale . I just finished watching the entire season for the seventh time or so. Anytime I get to  season 3, I start thinking about how the ending is approaching, and without fail, it always brings me down a little. I have watched this show enough times to know how…

Sometimes Love & ETC | Chapter 1

Henry was meeting Fatima for the first time for their first date. They met on a dating app, and had been chatting for about 3 weeks. They had so much in common and grew up miles away from each other it was actually strange that they had never ran into each other. They opted to meet at the restaurant instead of Henry picking Fatima up. It was Fatima’s idea to just meet at the restaurant, and Henry…

When Did We Get So Old?

One day, you are crying in your room about not being able to go out. Next, you are tired of going out too much.  When did we get so old? I remember being about 8 years old, my only desire was to cook my own food with my friends. We would find tomato paste cans around the house, we would use our small money to buy ingredients and mimic what we had seen the adults do in the kitchen. Who knew that…

2: To The One Who Left | KS

This is a series about people leaving, read the first one HERE. KS I met him at school, I was in theatre and he was the new student who was in charge of props and music. Imagine the theatre geek of your high school, you know the one whose whole life revolved around theatre, the one who signed up for theatre on purpose, and not because it was the only elective that allowed you to skip a few…

Life Lately | May 2021

It took a lot for me to write this post anyways, but these days I literally have to force myself to do things.  Life lately, I have been feeling unmotivated. I have no desire to do anything but go to work, and the only reason I am even able to do so it is because I have bills that need to be paid. But I hate feeling this way and I don’t even know how to fix it.  I feel regret over how I am…

I lived in New Jersey for 6 months. Here is my story.

I don’t remember much about New Jersey. I lived there for roughly 6 months and sometimes things about the place come to me randomly, so I wanted to write about it.  New Jersey was also my first time in the United States. I came on a cold winter January and when I say cold, i mean freezer cold.  Kmart was the first super market I went to when I arrived in United States. I loved everything about…

I was telling someone how a friend has/had broken my heart and how hurt I was feeling. In response, this person told me to focus on myself and let it go, and that there were other things more important. This person is privy to how my friend had treated me so in a way, I knew they were telling me to let go because this friend did not deserve me to stress over the ending of our relationship.…
