Over the years, I have written posts on food, fashion, relationships, and more. Truthfully though, I have not adhered totally to my originalContinue reading “CHOCOLATE AND…”

BETTER CONNECTIONS
Life is all about the connections you make. Today, making these connections is facilitated by the countless modes of communication and social networks in place. But, maintaining daily contact can be engulfing and overstimulating at times. While most people my age enjoy Facetiming their friends for hours on end and keeping Snapchat streaks for hundredsContinue reading “BETTER CONNECTIONS”
SURVIVAL 101
Each time I travel, I increasingly recognize what a privilege it is to be able to see the world through my own eyes. In today’s day and age, it often feels as though we are bombarded with the world views of others, and, at the same time, can still find it difficult to discern opinionContinue reading “SURVIVAL 101”
ALONE VS LONELY
I never understood what people meant when they said that are “different kinds of lonely”. A time ago, I was the loneliest I had ever been. Not only did I not have anybody, I directly had people telling me did not want me and diminishing my worth to something I knew it was not. InContinue reading “ALONE VS LONELY”
WAS IB WORTH IT?
From the first day I begin writing my own personal blog, I have had an idea for this exact post.

YOU DEFINE YOU
I am someone who experiences high highs and low lows. There are days when I smile at every stranger I see, walk with my head held high, and sing embarrassing songs with the car windows down and zero care about anyone who may be watching me. Then there are other days. The ones where myContinue reading “YOU DEFINE YOU”
THE BANNING OF TONI MORRISON’S ‘THE BLUEST EYE’
Today, at 10:00 AM, a Pinellas County school board meeting was held to discuss the recent banning of Toni Morrison’s The Bluest Eye. Many students, parents, and teachers attended to voice their opinions and concerns on the matter, and to be a part of that group makes me proud. The careful selection of books inContinue reading “THE BANNING OF TONI MORRISON’S ‘THE BLUEST EYE’”

The following entry is an excerpt from my personal journal. To begin the new year and new season of blog posts, I decided to be more open and raw with the thoughts I am sharing. I will continue to post my usual content, chock full of life lessons and personal opinions, but by broadening theContinue reading “MARY”
HELLO 2023
The past year has been a medley of ups and downs. A year ago my life was wildly different, at least in my eyes, and I never could have predicted the way small decisions and events would shape my current disposition. Nonetheless, as I contemplate each month of 2022, I realize how slowly these changesContinue reading “HELLO 2023”
