When I do for others, I don’t always feel the need to post about it. I don’t be wanting that attention because we all should go out our way every now and then for someone else. It makes my heart smile knowing that I helped make someone else’s day a little less stressful and aContinue reading “Going Out My Way…”

One of the biggest problems that we have in society is that we have to make everything out of a competition. It’s like we can’t stand seeing each other win and be on top. This is no exception for the Nicki vs. Cardi comparisons. A couple weeks ago Cardi B took home a Grammy forContinue reading “Nicki vs. Cardi”

Since Cardi and Offset have been the talk for the past month or so I decided to put in my two cents. I’m kind of back and forth on it. A part of me wants to say, “leave him,” but another part of me wants them to work it out.  This is his second timeContinue reading “Cardi and Offset 🙄”

Now that I’m older, it’s just not the same. They’re just another day on the calendar.Continue reading “Holidays…”

“Mannnnn” listen, I wasn’t even trying to celebrate my birthday this year. But I made the last minute decision to celebrate it anyway. I also remembered what I said last year, “Every day that you’re able to wake up is a blessing, but to have the opportunity to see a whole full year is justContinue reading “Jumpman!!!!”

This will probably be one of the most random posts I’ll ever add on here. If you didn’t know, I’m a psychology major and I’m taking a cognitive psych class. For one of the assignments, we have to make a presentation on the four best ways to study. However, the gag is, I’m out hereContinue reading “I’m Just Here for the Grade: Study Recommendations”

It was maybe two weeks ago, I went to Walmart with a couple of friends, to look for last minute Halloween gear for a party. We walked in and I went to get one of the electric chairs. As we were heading into the main part of the store, an store associate stopped us. HeContinue reading “Good Ole Walmart”

We all know that we need food, water, and air to keep living. It might be a long stretch but being disabled and having independence is on the list too.
