Hey you. I know I've been hiding out for a bit, but your girl went through a lot at the end of 2019. Now with the New Year being here, I finally felt strong enough to come back and share what's going on and where I want this new year and new decade to take me. I met someone who rocked my world. This person took me by surprise because I never knew I could feel so strongly for someone and even though I didn't k[...]
When I think about the past, it's not to go back to it or reminisce. For me, it's served me as little reminders of where I've been, what I experienced, what it taught me and finally where I don't want to be again. Not only do I get the reminder, but I also start feeling those feelings all over again and say to myself, "I deserve better".

Or maybe I should have seen it coming because he's shown he's not someone you can trust. But I think it's safe to say that our rela[...]
First off, Happy Thanksgiving! I love this time of year because we get a chance to reflect on what we're thankful for and this couldn't be a better time to give thanks. I made it to Dallas last night with my pup Monroe after work. I've never had to go home for the holidays but I figured leaving the day before will be smoother than leaving the day of Thanksgiving. Success! Sleeping in was heaven sent and having my[...]
In case you're new here, I used to share my confessions writing my blog series Confessions of a Blogaholic. They were weekly, but after awhile I'd get burned out and felt like there's nothing else to confess (just me? ok). This time around I will do one (or two) confession posts a month. That seems like a good plan. These days I have so many thoughts I need to blurt blog about so I thought what a better way to do it[...]
