happy holidays! i hope yall had a great christmas (if you celebrate it). now that ive had a second to step back from the madness, i realize that christmas has lost its je ne sais quoi. its pizzaz. & i certainly did not feel in the christmas spirit. i have gotten to the age where my presents were hand picked…

i am. seeing the other
arguing. some love it, others hate it. for me, i avoid it like the plague. i noticed the other day as my mom was scrolling through facebook, that social media has recently turned into a political battlefield, one that i don’t want to be drafted into. as mom read the tea in the comments section and reworded her reply several…

i am. not keeping up
you ever think about how fast things change? one second barack and joe are throwing up peace signs in the oval office & the next thing you know, trump is getting impeached. its hard to keep up with, yet in some ways, it can put our lives into perspective. the things that we spend hours arguing or stressing about will…

i am. rethinking
a couple of weeks ago i applied to this really cool sounding internship for a tech startup in Kuala Lumpur. naturally, i got a rejection email after the first interview. & yes, i do believe this is another example of an “everything happens for a reason” situation (honestly, who am i to think i could live in malaysia, take a…

i am. relieving stress
at umich at least, finals season is all about who can be the most stressed. & if you dont think you need to stress about finals, you’re stressed about not being stressed. its a hot mess that is just making us less productive in the long run. so, instead of crashing and burning & not being able to study any…

i am. self centered
one of my biggest flaws that has really been bothering me lately is how selfish i am. but no, not in the way PnB Rock talks about it. i have a tendency to make every conversation about myself. like, oh, you had something cool happen to you? ya, well me too. your life sucks? let me tell you about mine.…

i am. just doing it
no. this isn’t a nike ad (i wish tho). i was looking for blog topics & someone asked me for advice on when to approach their crush. & here it is. just do it. i’m not gunna be like the chicks from girl defined (look it up on youtube) & dance around the simple solution. there will never be a…

i am. taking care
“self care.” a buzzword used all over the internet. when i hear, it i think face masks, wine and bubble baths. but is that really what makes me feel my best? personally, i think face masks are expensive, id take kombucha over wine and id rather not get pruny in a bubble bath. yet, i tend to do these things…

i am. not broken
we are made up of our experiences. our mistakes. our heartbreaks. our baggage. how does that make you feel? helpless? broken? how about proud? in yoga, the teacher told us that when some people break something valuable, such as a pot that has been passed on for generations, they glue the pieces together with gold, and it makes the item…

i am. not expecting it
it’s cuffing season, & i know a lot of people out there are looking for a boo to snuggle up with to watch christmas movies & drink hot chocolate. well, for those people in need, i may have some bad news; it’s typically easier to find a bf/gf that sticks if you’re not looking. sure, i’ve been in and out…
