  • Nothing Beats A Failure But A Try

    Nothing Beats A Failure But A Try

    Last year this time I was busy applying for the Peace Corps. My application was bare but my essay, I thought, was comprehensive. So I sat on the application for half a year in anticipation of the response, which didn’t come until March. I wasn’t as discouraged as I thought I would be when I…

  • Quit Instagram Before You’re Lost

    Quit Instagram Before You’re Lost

    I released myself from my Instagram. And it felt like I threw all my disappointments and hurt into a flowing river and watched them get carried away never to return. Of course, this isn’t exactly the case. Disappointments and hurt are always a thing. But it feels good to no longer be running a community…

  • Healthcare Starts in the Kitchen, Not At the Doctor

    Well, I didn’t plan for this to be my first blog of the year, but hey .. life happens right? (And trust me, there have been lots of happenings so far in 2015 lol.) At any rate, it’s been a while since I came on here and shared some good news! So, as part of…

  • Disconnected Connectivity: My Unpopular Opinion of Social Media

    I’m fairly certain I am in the minority when it comes to what I am about to say. But then, what’s new? I found this important enough to blog about, so you know it must be a pretty outstanding issue from a societal standpoint. And although this might not be within your realm of understanding,…

  • I Don’t Know if I Believe in Protests, But Last Night I Protested

    And tomorrow, I’m going to protest again. This is not because I believe protests in themselves are functional ways to create change. This is not because I enjoy stopping people from going about their way and ignoring the plight of others. (Ok that last one is a lie.) I protested for a simple, simple reason:…

  • They Say That I’m A Dreamer…

    Sometimes, on some days, I wish that I didn’t want more out of life. Sometimes I wish I could be content to know I am doing what society says I should be doing. (Be a good girl. Go to school. Get a job. Pay your bills. Have a family. Pay your bills. Work some more….

  • The Power You Have

    Can we talk about the law of attraction for a minute? I was talking to a friend of mine the other day and mentioned how crazy it is, when he let me know that he had never heard of it. Immediately, I thought, well I certainly don’t mind being the first to tell you about…

  • Religion and Mankind

    Today I am going to take on the most controversial topic I’ve ever written about: religion. (Finally, I know. This draft has actually been sitting on my blog since January. But, fake busy.) If you’re close-minded, an extremist on either end of the spectrum, here just for slander/to argue, and/or lacking analytical skills absent emotional…

  • Enslaved by the Dollar Bill

    Allergies have plagued me all of my life. But aside from itchy eyes and a few sneezes here and there, I pretty much never got sick. Ever. Now that I started working full-time every day, however, it seems like sickness just plagues me. I write to you today with a massive headache, a runny nose,…

  • The Change; Will you be a part of it?

    There are times when I complain about the complacency of the public in a world where the very same public is being exploited openly and carelessly, and then there are times when people, as few as they may be, finally give me a little bit of hope. On October 5, the official declaration of the…
