The older I get the more I get to know myself. It's funny because growing up, many, myself included, saw me as this social butterfly, flitting from social gathering to social gathering, charming the whole room effortlessly and with grace. And so I booked every weekend with some party or another, genuinely looking forward to each and every event. ( Read more... )

Apparently, this is my approach to my love life. I’ve been recently called out for intentionally going for the unavailable types, be it emotionally, geographically, or -my favorite!-both emotionally AND geographically. Now, I didn’t consciously think in my head, ”unavailable? Check! Here’s my number,” but looking back, the pattern really was due to ( Read more... )

A friend of mine recently told me that she's been offered a job in the UK. My thoughts, in no particular order, went something like this:

OMG! OMG! How fucking amazing is that ( Read more... )

It's funny how I think of myself as this calm, cool. collected chick when the reality is closer to a hyper-sugar-high child that goes from crazy jumping around to a sudden crash, with seemingly no transition. Yup, I'd say that's more me. It's like, I take things that really should be no big deal and overanalyze the shit out of it, dissect it, write ( Read more... )

I've grown to appreciate Valentine's day for what it is the more the years pass by. I love it. I love slow jams and R&B and those love songs that sometimes make your heart hurt in its sweetness and sometimes makes it hurt in the memory of heartbreak.

It's crazy how different things are once you hit your mid-twenties. I never thought I'd say this but man were they right. Shit really doesn't begin to start or even begin to make sense until your mid-twenties. That's when you're hit with a big ol' splash of ice cold reality that's sometimes just the perfect temperature and sometimes unbearable. Who ( Read more... )

I remember having a conversation with someone I worked with when I was 23 or so and she was advising me not to get married until I’m at least 30 because that’s when you finally know yourself. Although I agreed about not getting married until later on in life, I didn’t agree about not knowing myself until I’m 30. I thought i knew myself pretty damn ( Read more... )

This will be the year I finally stop playing around so much and start acting like a real-life adult. No more living young, and wild, and free. Why? Because shit ain't free ( Read more... )

This past weekend was Kimbo's wedding and by far the best one out of the 5 weddings I've been to this year. Of course, I'm extremely biased especially because this was my first time being maid of honor and so I was really a part of it ( Read more... )

I talk about my mom a lot, mostly because my dad is back home and so I don't get to create as many memories with him these days. So for people who have heard me speak about my family, it's mostly about my mom and our shenanigans, her quirks, and her general awesomeness. What can I say? I had to have gotten it somewhere, right ( Read more... )
