💜With Love

today is monday, september 2. it’s labor day weekend + i’m back in bed after showering + going back and forth in my mind about whether or not i want to go somewhere/do something (bullshit for wanting to spending unnecessary money) or if i just want to get back in the bed for a while before starting my laborious ass day. but today is labor day right?! i’m supposed to be enjoying not having to…

25 things i know for sure.

ive been 25 for a little over three months, and i still don’t quite know how to feel about it, but i took some time to reflect the day before my birthday last december on a few of the greatest lessons that i’ve learned over the years.

“we may encounter many defeats, but we must not be defeated. but, in fact it may be necessary to encounter defeats, so we can know who the hell we are, what can we over come, what makes us stumble + fall, + what makes us miraculously rise + go on?”-maya angelou

finals are over + so is my first year at temple, y’all 💃🏽💃🏽💃🏽 my first year here has been nothing short of, “one hell of a ride.”
