  • Intrusive Thoughts

    Guys, first of all, I may have gone rogue with the number of times I've said 'intrusive thoughts, I just really needed it to be drilled in your heads. Do you get them often? How do you deal with them?

  • Bloody Covid!
    I got Covid! Yup, It didn't matter how hard I transformed myself into a hibernating bear. I still got it anyway. What can I say? It was destined for me. And as someone who experienced ALL of the brutal symptoms all at once, I thought that I'd share some perspective of how I dealt with it and how I feel about the mask mandates and the uproar surrounding the vaccine!

  • Oh, to be Ignorant and Happy!
    Race matters are intertwined with everything! You can't escape it. I definitely couldn't escape it physically and mentally when I landed in America- the race where race is INESCAPABLE! I had to educate myself and rewire my entire way of thinking. Trying to keep with what to do and not do was exhausting, and as a result, I had a poor high school experience. Please tune in to hear how I navigated the race issue in America as a dark skin black girl.

  • Label me this!
    Labels and sense of identity mean everything these days. Well, I guess they've always been important, and I've simply never noticed because all of my life, I've been trying to suppress mines. But expressing one's identity can be hard when one doesn't agree with it or have others treating them differently because of it. My nationality is a big part of my identity; it's all I've ever known, and yet I am just now accepting it.

  • Am I worth It?

    My biggest skill is putting myself down. It doesn't matter how pretty I think I look or how smart I am; the need to compare myself to others to find fault in my ways will always be inevitable. This tendency goes as far back as I can remember, and sometimes, I have to ask myself: why do I feel this way, and what's the point? In this journal entry, I dissect the root of my low- self-esteem issues and what I do to get better.

  • My Name is Rollercoaster
    The thought of someone being able to read my mind scares me. Yet, it's the exact thing I want. I know it's complicated, but I feel like it is the only way that someone can get to know me for real. In a dream world, They'd know the good, bad, and ugly but probably wouldn't be too offended because they'd understand my true intentions.
