Mortality always makes its way to my mind during the summer. It first started in 2008, the summer after my freshman year of college. I would wake up from that in-between place (you know, the one you’re in when you’re drifting off, but still a bit aware of yourself), terrified of what non-existence is like. … Continue reading

Ships at a Distance
***Note: This post was written a year and a half ago. Only two people have ever read it because it highlights my insecurities and an emotionally trying time for me. But since today is Zora Neale Hurston’s birthday, and this post is inspired by Their Eyes Were Watching God, I decided to finally share it. … Continue reading
Saturdays with Mommy
***Warning: This was written a while ago…Never posted because it wasn’t “perfect”*** My mom finally spent another weekend with me. I’ve been asking her to pick a weekend since her last visit like six months ago. She finally found time in her schedule to desert my dad and granny and come hang out with her … Continue reading
Automatic Hibernation
“If you don’t plug in your computer soon, it will hibernate automatically.” I get this message quite often on my laptop and other variations of it on my Kindle and cell phone. Not at all sure why I get this message on my laptop since I typically stay in one central location when I’m on … Continue reading
A blog by any other name…And other (just one) literary references
Before I say anything of real importance, I feel it’s my duty to inform you that you are doing life allll wrong if you didn’t read the title of this post in the voice of James Earl Jones. Sure, I could have said Morgan Freeman, but between Jones’ new Sprint commercials and the fact that … Continue reading
The Motivation for my Methods

There is actually a post that I wrote in March and published back in June that is currently a draft again. Because I really didn’t think it was all that great. It goes into detail on why I … Continue reading
“That doesn’t match.” “Don’t worry, it GOES.”
This Christmas I was blessed to be able to spend a lot more time with my sister and her family than I usually do. She and her husband have two girls. The oldest is ten and growing so fast that we can’t keep up. The five-year old has more sass than she has height…not sure … Continue reading
Friends with Benefits (This is G-rated, promise!)
You know the friend who you can usually never find on a daily basis but is usually available when you call? Yeah, I’m that friend. I suck at maintaining friendships. This whole staying stuck in my thoughts thing really restricts the time I have to reach out to others, and I truly hate it. I … Continue reading
My 500 Words
I have a confession. I have commitment issues. And I’m a procrastinator. And I worry…a lot. And…none of that is going to matter (as much) anymore. I’m making a commitment to myself to write more, among other things. And to give myself a little help in making this a habit and not a sporadic event, … Continue reading
Look out for Detox
I find myself scrolling through the albums on my phone often. Mostly because I’m attempting to zone out and forget about the bag of grading I have. This whole introspection thing is for the birds. Because…LONELY. SAD. IRRITATED. TIRED. Sometimes, though, introspection actually reveals something about my nature and thought process. This time, while scrolling … Continue reading
