It all started with an idea. An idea that deserved to be turned into a reality. You stayed up until 3am writing your plan and making sure it was tight. You prayed that it would work and that people would see the vibes. You finally execute and it’s a hit! Everyone loves it, you’re getting…
Faking It
It started a few weeks ago. I was in a large crowd and suddenly began to feel like I was shrinking. I felt alone and confused, even though I was surrounded by people who I adored. I felt invisible even though people were directly interacting with me. Instead of doing something about it, I…
Every Woman : A Tribute to Your Womanhood
Happy Women’s History Month! There is nothing like being a woman, truly. This month’s festivities inspired my “Food for Thought” questions, so I posed three questions dedicated to all my ladies worldwide. Define your womanhood in three words. I would use nurturing, duality, and evolving to define my womanhood. It’s no secret that women are…
Making Space
Let me get straight to the point. I’ve recently noticed that I need to make space in my life. I’ve been holding onto old things that have died many moons ago, yet I keep them tucked away just in case… It’s beginning to be a problem. I’ve been hanging onto so many random remnants of…
The Evils of Filling the Void
This post might smack you in the face and leave your ears ringing, so continue reading. We’ve all experienced great loss whether it was heartbreak or a missed opportunity. We stayed in bed, cried, and felt immense hurt. When we entered into the one of the most vulnerable stages, the stage where you need to…
Learning to be Softer : Why Finding Your Vulnerability Matters
Somewhere between re-building my exterior and interior, I forgot to allot space for a soft surface that could feel the vibrations of compassion and emotion. Constantly being pegged as overly sensitive, I’ve always yearned for the day that my eyes didn’t quiver and heartstrings were not strained from words that hit like boulders and…
Support Yourself.
Possibly the hardest pill to swallow in growing up is understanding that not everyone will support you. Everyone is not going to support every move that you make. People will forget or intentionally not wish you Happy Birthday. People will scroll past your new job update on LinkedIn. Others will see you reaching out for support…
Complex & Nuanced
Reality came crashing down on me as I read my daily horoscope by @lilzodiacblog on Instagram. It told me that I may not be over something that I thought I was. It told me to channel those emotions into my art, so here we are. I am angry. I am angry that I am not…
Work In Progress
A piece of my art shattered into a million pieces at the beginning of summer and I spent the next two months recovering. I recovered those pieces of that artwork that were authentic and true. I picked up the pieces that were ugly and twisted and told myself to discover the opposites of those pieces…
I Forgave Everyone But Myself
A garden. That’s how I would title this summer. There’s been old dirt that had to be sifted through, fertile soil that had to be put down, seeds that were planted, and plenty of watering and waiting. The watering and waiting period has given me plenty of time to have self-realizations. How did I…
Healing Hurts But You Need It
Nobody wants to formally or publicly admit that they are hurt, yet our actions scream “HELP I FEEL LIKE I AM DYING.” The healing process to relinquish those feelings is brutal. It’s filled with ugly shower crying, hiding in bed all day, and feeling sick to the stomach whenever you receive a trigger that reminds…
Not Every Opportunity Is Golden and That Is Okay
I should be getting some sleep as I have to be at my internship at 3am, but my fingers couldn’t stop twitching from the need to write and relinquish the 17 million thoughts running through my head. If you read my last post, you know that I am in Indianapolis for the summer interning at…
