I've been thinking about ways to really share my thoughts outside of the larger, more complex posts. As a bit of fun and randomness, here are 25 random thoughts I've had in the last month. Enjoy. I wonder how living in Alaska with two months of continuous daylight feels. I hate doing anything but MathContinue reading "Meaningless Midnight Musings #1"

Taking A Day Off – Sharing a Laugh
Today was the beginning of my new position, it was filled with orientations and side appointments. I even moved into the dorms and will be living on a XL Twin bed for the next 10-12 weeks. Yippee!!🙃  So today, while I plan the rest of the week, I'll take off to get my head on right.Continue reading "Taking A Day Off – Sharing a Laugh"
Today was a Good Day
Today was orientation for my summer position for Inclusive Student Excellence of Diversity and Multicultural Affairs at UNC. It was a typical, eventful day so today's post will be short. After training and a free meal, I went out for drinks with one of my new co-workers. While talking, I ended up going into detailContinue reading "Today was a Good Day"
Love Like Food for My Soul (Happy Mother’s Day)
The year was 1997 and Soul Food came out. It was one of the rare movies that felt distinctly black and authentic in a sea of movies and shows that portrayed black life as problematic. The cast read like hall of fame with Vivica A. Fox, Nia Long, Vanessa Williams, and Mekhi Phifer to just nameContinue reading "Love Like Food for My Soul (Happy Mother’s Day)"
Syd tha Kyd Grows Up – Fin (Album Review)
I have a confession to make. As much as I was a blog rat from 2008-2012, I've never listened to Odd Future (or Odd Future Wolf Gang Kill Them All). I had no desire for Tyler the Creator or Earl Sweatshirt. The first album I listened to by their affiliates were Frank Ocean (nostalgia,ULTRA) andContinue reading "Syd tha Kyd Grows Up – Fin (Album Review)"
Medication Hesitation
When dealing with mental health, it's difficult on navigating what is right and what is wrong to do. Is the issue something situational? Is the issue chemical? Is it something that can be modified by behavior? Do you have to use a combination of all of them? Yes. The answer is yes. Around a monthContinue reading "Medication Hesitation"
It’s Okay to Be a Work in Progress
I graduated in 2015. Life was good. I was happy and comfortable with life. It was weird. I thought I had everything under control. I had a grip on where I wanted to go and who I wanted to be. So many things made since then. Fast forward to today and I've been brought toContinue reading "It’s Okay to Be a Work in Progress"
The Good News: Anu and Her Prosthetic Sports Blade
There is something so pure about children. They have such an amazing ability to adapt and see the world in the most honest of ways. They say that children and animals are the only ones that see us for who we are. If kids don't trust you, something is wrong. But seriously, over the pastContinue reading "The Good News: Anu and Her Prosthetic Sports Blade"
More Thoughts on Shine: Wale on Everyday Struggle
If I haven't said it on here, I am notably a fan of Joe Budden. I am an avid listener to his podcast and music. His antics outside of rap, I leave that for others to decide but I've seriously enjoyed his new day job on Complex News' Everyday Struggle. Budden joins DJ Akademiks andContinue reading "More Thoughts on Shine: Wale on Everyday Struggle"
