I'm Actin' Brand New ;)

Heyyy!!!!! I'm back and better than ever before... Seriously.

As of late, I've been feeling a lot better. Thanks to my amazing support system, I'm on my way to brighter days. I got new health insurance, a new medical team, new meds, and a brand new love.... ME!!!!! The heavens have opened up and poured me out a serious blessing!!!!! And lemme tell you, I am BEYOND grateful.

I always say that I've spent the past few years "strength training" and OH MYLANTA, did I need it!!?! In no way, shape, or form was I ready for what life had to throw at me. And BOY did it test my character & my faith! 

The bullshittiest of the bullshit found a way to litter my path. Shit that didn't even pertain to me, made it's way to haunt me! Sheer NONSENSE was all I could account for in my life and something HAD to be done!

... SoOoo, naturally I panicked and isolated myself from all things EVERYTHING until I could get this malarkey under control. *shrugs* ....Judge me.

BUT it worked!!! I was able to reevaluate my circumstance and take back what was rightfully mine... MY LIFE!!!! In self reflection, meditation, and all that hippie shit, I found what needed to change... and surprise SURPRISE, it was me. -_- The things that were happening and severely affecting me were things that I opened the door to. Now, of course, there were some things that were completely beyond my control, like my health... or lack thereof. lol But, rather, the people that had absolutely no interest in me, good or bad, but what they could get from me. Or the many ignorant ass opinions of others that I took to heart. I'd come to realize, woe was me and all I could see was misery.

I began to settle for things that just weren't for me.-- Due to my past and self inflected present, I convinced myself that I DESERVED to be miserable... that I deserved less than the absolute best. I was all the way WRONG!!! You see, as humans, we crucify ourselves and each other based on our past sins (things we had done when we were young and stupid and "privileged" little shits). We condemn ourselves daily for things that can't be erased & subject ourselves to a life filled w/ regret and "what if's" that simply have no place in our psyche! 

***GIVE UP ON WHAT HAPPENED AND START FOCUSING ON WHAT'S HAPPENING*** 

I now know that regret only hinders progress. And I've been a victim of "regret" for so long that I was blinded from the lessons I should have learned. But now I see clearly what I should have know all along: If making the mistakes I made in the past was the only way to gain the wisdom I now attain, than BY GOLLY I think that's more than a fair muh fuckin' trade!!!

I'm a brand new person b/c I'm no longer stressed by the stupid choices I made years ago. I understand that I am far from perfect and still have a ways to go. But I do know, for a fact, I possess a heart of compassion and one pleasing in the eyes of God. And if He is always willing and able to forgive and literally forget, who the hell are we not to?!


I'm FINALLY at peace with who I am! And that's, a black, freckle faced, God-fearing, strong, potty-mouthed (don't judge), silly, wounded, intelligent, loyal, blunt, artistic, introverted, compassionate, hopeful, newly humbled, faith-driven, loving, renewed and restored, American Woman!!!!! 

Fuck with me ;) HA!!!!

Soft Tissue

The way I love Has Yet to be reciprocated.  My love language? A dialect no one speaks. My head's underwater. No snorkels allowed. I wade in a sea of  My own ill-gotten tears.  The pain? Seemingly beyond my threshold. Yet, I still love the way I  love. I refuse to let my heart harden. For there are few things in this life Stronger than a docile heart.  A heart that loves so easily. Yet begs itself, Pleads with itself, Blood curdling cries Highlighting the desire to take That love BACK for itself.  For it's beauty has been worn. The substance of it laced with hurt. It's unfair! But it SO can be repaired.  It's pliability makes it malleable. Giving, The Potter, free reign  To breathe life into me, While my wounded heart lay in repair. Spinning the clay-like organ As I journey along Protected.   On a divine ventilator, Waiting. The vitality of my vessel spins Between the loving hands of, The Truth. Every indentation, Every impression, Made lov...

An Open Letter to My Mother on Mother's Day ❤️

My Dearest Mommie, I've been lying here for hours just trying to find the words to express how much you are to me. But it's hard to pick the big things or significant things out of EVERYTHING... because that is what you are to me, Ma. You are EVERYTHING!!!!  This road has not been an easy one for us. There have been many a speed bump and quite a few hurdles. But here we are just on the cusp of 28 years later and you are still not a ray short of my sunshine! ☀️ From my birth up until this very moment, our journey has NOT been easy. But thanks be to God, he lent me YOU!!!-- I'd go on to list all your AMAZING qualities... i.e. Your compassion, your drive, your FIGHT, your smile, your UNCONDITIONAL love for me & my siblings; as well as your adopted grandchildren. You're effing (see how I purposely censored myself 'cause I know you don't like it when I drop those f-bombs. 🙄 Only for you, on your day! 🙊)... but the remainder of who you you are (ALL GOOD ...

State of the Heart

Deeper than the Pacific.  Carefree you frolic, within. Unaware of the intense pressure you dispense upon my soul. Plunging , and diving , stretching far beyond its seemingly non-existent limits. Where there is no boundary, you find... On a verge, that never was, you stand. Testing my patience... Conspicuously measuring my love. I see clearly how selfish you've become BUT like a fool ... your fool , I'm ignorant to it's consequences. I fell victim to your trap.  Charmed by the lullabies after lies, you'd soothe.  Knocked entirely from the realization that I've spent years avoiding ANYONE like you. You push... I pull. And vice versa until we're found in this full blown " tangling-tango " . A dance that leaves me dizzy, stumbling , desperate to grasp the knob of any door. A jig , I can't stand; but one you seem to have mastered. Because at the first sign of my desire to bow out, gracefully... you squeeze my hand tighter , pull me cl...
