Ch-Ch-Changes

I wanted something different, so I did something different. Simple right? Is life always like that?  It is. I’m pretty sure I had a mini-quarter life crisis in my room last night and I went, painted a picture…got a lil calm and then I laid down to read.  I’m currently re-tackling Eat. Pray. Love and [...]

Letter to my E(x)

Countless hours of worrying, wondering, thinking, debating, hoping, praying, writing…spent on you. Us. Worrying that I’d made a mistake. Wondering if we were really meant.  Thinking that it would work out with time.  Debating on how long I should hold on.  Hoping you’d come around.  Praying for a sign as to what I should do. [...]

Dr. Destiny

I was talking to a friend of mine this weekend, about where she is in life and how astounding it is; by the age of 25 she will have her MD.  Thats pretty amazing. So we were talking about how despite circumstance or probablility, what is meant for you shall be.  She was destined to [...]

Of Adam’s

I told him, when you hurt I hurt. So he cried and I wiped the tears from my eyes.
I wrote that the other day. Simple right? I was in class and we were discussing relationships and how people just don’t communicate. One lady in class was saying that when she first got married it was [...]

I can’t help it

Love me and the world is mine.
~David Reed
You know…you get to a point in your life when you just think, to hell with it. For me, it was preconceived notions, mental pictures, ideas of perfection. I’m a planner. My life has been planned since forever. I looked in my HS memory book and [...]

I’m sitting here looking at this old canvas
And the picture looks so different from you
Yes it does
So this ideal…that we have in our heads. Our idea of perfection. Whether it [...]

Weak Side|Strong Side

So yesterday I’m watching this case study its a group counseling session. These 8 people go on a couneling retreat and they are there with 2 counselors and they are working on issues that prevent them from establishing or maintaining relationships with people. Basically people with trust and/or intimacy issues. *Color this Dubb* Anyway, so [...]

War Eagle?

Now I’m not making any promises…Yall remember back a few months ago I ranked my top choices for a Doctoral program right? Choiced included Penn, Yale, Vandy, etc. Well all that’s scrapped. After working in the Master’s Program I realize that I would did and not make it through an APA-research based Doctoral degree. Its [...]

What is Fear?

So I’ve been thinking a lot lately about the things that hold us back from realizing our full potential…I was reading scripture the other night and I got to the verse, “I have learned the secret of being content in any and ever situation, whether well fed or hungry, whether living in plenty or in [...]

I don’t live here anymore!

Once again, if you didn’t know I thought this show IS life, you don’t know me.  Moving on, I feel this scene.  This scene is so my life.  Wanting to move on and wanting to be done, moving on two different timelines …He’s ready you’re not-you’re ready he’s not…and trying to [...]
