For the past month or so, I have been planning and preparing to rent out an apartment. I have been wanting my own living space for a while now, but now, I am finally in a space of financially supporting myself enough to make that happen. Now, I realize that when renting an apartment, it …
Sunday’s Best
Last Sunday was my first Sunday being back at church in MONTHS. Normally, I don't take a hiatus from church, at all. However, with school, a full time internship, a part-time job, and studying (with multiple papers mingled in), I could only catch the live-stream services. This being my first Sunday back, I wanted to …
If someone were to find this…
... just know that I am going through another depressive episode. Just when I think I am out; I get sucked back in. Not sure if I will ever come out of this cycle; not sure if it will ever end. I just want to survive this and overcome this. I just want to be …
The Death Behind Lust
Within the past two nights, God led me to 2nd Samuel 13:33-34 and Matthew 14:3-6, and it has been quite interesting journey. While reading these verses and their whole chapters, there were some connections I started to see. However, one of the connections that jumped out to me the most was lust. Lust, to me, …
Living in Old Spaces
As the New Year inches closer, I am starting to think about what I would like to leave in the old. One of those things I would like to leave behind is my childhood home. Like most people, my childhood home was a memorable and significant place. Not only because that is where I grew …
2017: The year of No

I love God more than…
I love God more than the excitement of my temptations. I love God more than the comfort of my fears. I love God more than the emotional walls I have constructed and held onto. I love God more than the pain I refused to let go. I love God more than the grudges. I love …
Why I chose to go to counseling
…where do I even begin? This is not easy for me to just jump into and talk about, but it is necessary. Talking about this is not hard, but I find difficulty and apprehension in explaining myself. I mean, I really do not have to explain myself at all, I could have kept this to …
My Reasons Why I Need New Friends
You know that DJ Khaled song, "No New Friends"? I strongly resent that song. I understand that the whole purpose behind that song is to stay loyal to the friendships you have established and not trusting new people. But for real? This is where our standards on each other have come too? Geesh... smh. Why …
15/35
Currently, I do not even feel like typing this blog. I am feeling rather depressed to be honest with you. I would rather curl up into a ball and sleep my days away. I would rather not face my current struggles, or, have them abruptly solve on their own without any of my own involvement. …
