My last blog post was July 16, 2016. The past 327 days have been interesting. Let’s recap: Spring 2016 At the end of April 2016 I cut my hair into a style I had secretly coveted for years. Cutting my hair has always heralded significant change throughout my adult life. I have dubbed the style […]
Spike Lee’s movie Girl 6 came on a few weeks ago. Prince produced the entire soundtrack, which is all his original music–therefore it’s amazing, OBVS. The film inspired many a visual aesthetic (looking at you Little X), and made quite the splash when it came out in 1996. Enough fun facts though, what does this […]
Currently, being single means a lot of quiet nights at home with a modicum of dramatic forays. It means sporadic sexual escapades and distant lovers. It means missed connections and strained relations. It means I mostly date myself. I believe that these love experiences are just brief interludes in the soundtrack of my life. But I […]
Ya’ll. The Ides of March had me fucked up out here. There’s good reason to beware. Let’s get into it. March 15th is notorious because it is the day Caesar was assassinated (Et tu, Brute?). Purportedly bad things continue to happen on that day. Considering my love life has been bordering on Shakespearean tragedy since […]

Dear Universe, You’re the real MVP (points at Universe, pounds chest with fist). The power of thought is incredible. You CAN get what you want if you want it sincerely enough and are prepared to take the necessary actions to attain it. Constantly thinking about something doesn’t guarantee it will manifest. However, if you are […]
I decided earlier this evening to cut ties with my current love interest. Meaning I casually ended things as I’m prone to do. Hear me out. We met unexpectedly 11 days into the new year. He was refined, carefree, modern, conscious, and handsome: a unicorn really. Our first meet up was at 2am at the “nice” […]
2016 is a weighted year for me. I’ve waited 20 years for this year, only to look back in disbelief, trying to recall the past 20 years of my life without my father. He passed on July 21st, 1996, I was 13. I changed forever that day, shed the skin of adolescence, grew a tougher […]
