My Darkness
A soul of light, being cloaked in the darkness of its own conjuring. People around me always seem happy. High strung, as if the worries of the world affect no cellular portion of them. Carelessly living life, but carefully soaking in happiness as if sun bathing in the Caribbean. Maybe my life experiences have taken [...]
Seek Help.
I was watching a movie earlier today, in which a woman’s stepdaughter gets raped and brutally beat up. The movie did such a great job depicting the emotions and anger in real situations that women go through after being assaulted.

Confidence Vs Cockiness
By: Jared Keene Over the past few years, I noticed something both interesting and alarming when it comes to millennials and the way they view themselves.

Broken Relationships/Friendships

Misconception of Athletes
Being a minority at a majority white school is challenge per se. But being a minority on a major team at your college or university is a big challenge. If you play basketball or football there it is already this preconceived notion that those particular athletes “think that they are better than everyone else.” Sometimes [...]
Kickback and relax
This will be a short post. I’d just like to put a friendly reminder for all you readers out there to keep track of work-life balance. At the early stages in a career the work dynamic is undoubtably amplified, but it’s crucial to kick-back and relax whenever you can. In the absence of such requiescence, [...]
Self-Respect
Brown guys, and basically any guy, can take advantage of you. I never thought it could happen to me. He called me cute. Pretty. Hot. Someone he’d want to cuddle with. Wifey material. Said he thought of me all the time and missed me. Said my body looked amazing (based off my IG because I [...]
