This Is Why I Sleep 10 Hours A Day And Instantly Feel “Sexier”
“What is your favourite time of the day?” “Bedtime!” I am a long sleeper. Always was. When I was a teenager, my mother just could not wake me up in time to go to school. Don’t get me wrong, I loved school — I just could not and would not wake up in time.

Taylor Swifts know us all too well
I don’t know how your weekend went, but mine went swiftly (pun intended). If you haven’t heard Taylor Swift rereleased her RED album with a 14-minute music video for the song ‘All too well’ starring Dylan O’Brian and Sadie Sink. This song narrates her past relationship with Jake Gyllenhaal. She effortlessly made the details rhyme to a tee, lyrically. Every 20 to 30-year-old lady on the planet went into an emotional spiral. Wine sales probably went up, as these ladies willingly reminiscence past wounds brought by their past lovers. Some of them are probably thankful to have had those pains so they can sing along the songs with more conviction – I know I did. There is just something so satisfying about singing a break up song with a wine glass on hand especially when you have already fully recovered from it.

I Was My Husband’s Personal Hairdresser And We Both Had A Lot of Fun During The Process
First of all, I want to say that my husband is a courageous man for letting me take him a haircut. Just think about the fact that I never cut hair before. I only used scissors for regular things.

Forever Free
It exists in a few places, for those who know where to look. In the dusty, long forgotten corners of an unsuspecting hard-drive, and hidden deep within the code of some inactive social media account, lies a single, simple photo file. To the uninformed observer, this image would be of little interest. With a slightly closer look, however, a certain truth yearns to be known.

Why?
So what is life for right? like literally what are our lives for. I mean it's not to make others happy because that is one hell of a fucking task to even get done. I mean sure we can make people happy every now and then but what about us. Is everyone that so self-centered that they don't stop to look at those around them? I mean really why bother with human existence if we can't take a fucking moment to consider everyone else around us. Why can't we just take a fucking chance to look at those we love and stop and wonder what is going on. I guess it's just the thoughts that run through my head lately. Actually, all the time.

Purpose
I don't want my writing to stand out. I want it to inspire. That is a goal that I have set for myself over the years. But I don't quite like not having a point to write about. Writing without a purpose is pointless. I try and inspire myself in such small ways, but sometimes the words just are not there. I don't always know what I have to say. I stumble across the words I want during most conversations and blab out certain things that I just ultimately regret in the end. One of my favourite words that I have created out of pure awkward shame, is ankward. This post is written in inspiration of someone and our conversation that we had shared together. But the whole word stumbled out of my lips during a small conversation that I was having with some friend of mine. Ankward. I caught myself very carefully and corrected myself. Awkward and anxious at the same time. I have coined this as my word so if you steal it, you must do so in the name of me, because I am truly the most awkward and anxious human being to ever exist. I never had it happen to me during a regular conversation with someone, normally it was just my boyfriend who had caught my ankward word choices.

Liking the melancholy
Today I had a chat about how I was feeling with a mate of mine. The conversation developed and I revealed that I often find myself feeling I have an undercurrent of melancholy in my life. Never really happy, quite pessimistic, and somewhat detached from those around me.

A Life Fulfilled
Story 1: When I was in the 5th grade I full-on wept through my piano recital and that was after I sat there for a full 10 minutes just trying to convince myself to put my hands on the keys. The audience gave me a standing ovation after, the simple fact that I was even able to play one note through my very tangible stage fright was enough for them. I quit the piano the same year. My parents never pressured me, they always allowed me to express myself how I felt fit when it came to sports and the arts, but quitting the piano was one decision I wish they had pressured me to rethink.

Tranquility Seems Like Deja Vu
Sometimes I dream for the world to end. I don't mean that in a bad way. I'm not staring up at my ceiling at night, wishing on stars that the population is suddenly wiped away. I don't pray for the earth as we know it, the land beneath our feet to vanish before our next step, leaving us each to scramble for something to keep us grounded.

White women judged and Black Girls ridiculed me...
I was told that having braids was considered ghetto or “too ethnic”. To be honest, I felt ashamed of being black not because of beauty standards, but because I just did not “fit into the culture”.I was judged for wearing braids by not just white women, but black women and girls as well. I liked wearing braids, but at the same time I was very insecure. The irony about my childhood and braids is that from preschool to 7th grade, I went to predominantly black schools. It was one thing to be judged by white women, but the sad thing was the comments that I felt hurt the most were from black girls.

A career or The career
Memes inspire me. I find life hilarious. In a very good context, mind you. They just show us that no one’s alone in any situation. There are people who’ve experienced the same and have managed to present it in such a funny way, from exactly that angle… And it’s mostly things most of us find challenging. Memes just lift me up. I see the bright side of life.
