Watching Level Up music video by Ciara Those moves! I’ve always loved how strong dancers are. In ballet, the strength translates to grace. In hip hop, the strength translates to strength. As in, you feel the strength, the energy oozing out of the dancers. Having a strong core is awesome. In PT recently I’ve been … Continue reading Abs Radiate Strength

Beyoncé Appeal
I love how performers flirt with their audience. Like literally, 'you can look, don't touch' (Best Friend - Saweetie ft. Doja Cat lyrics—their performances are too strippery for my taste, but that's a great line.) I've always wanted to be a performer. I've also always wanted people to pay attention to me. The problem is, … Continue reading Beyoncé Appeal

Projected Intimacy
I challenge I had when dating was that whenever I would share my writings with the guy, I felt closer to them. Even if it turned out they didn't read it in the end, I immediately felt close just by merely sending it there way. Why did I connect to easily? Was my soul reaching … Continue reading Projected Intimacy

Sun Versus Moon Continued
Looking back, I've oft-resented the guys I dated for not seeing all my talents. For belittling me. For thinking of me as just a fresh piece of meat who could please them. But I suppose it's not their fault. That is how I presented myself. And it is how I saw myself. In that situation. … Continue reading Sun Versus Moon Continued

If you're just tuning in... Hi!!!!! Thanks for stopping by! I hope you have a good day! Also, let me catch you up on my most recent theme... I've decided for the trillionth time to rehash the dating debacles of my twenties. Maybe decided isn't the right word. More like, was called to. And, as … Continue reading I am a Sun, not a Moon!
Ursula, No You Didn’t!: How I Relate to Ariel from The Little Mermaid
This week, I watched The Little Mermaid with my daughter. She wanted to play, and I'm like, "No, child, we are watching TV!" Obviously, she happily acquiesced. And obviously, this wasn't my highest moment as a parent (but it wasn't my lowest either!). Being in a parent's shoes, as I have been for the past … Continue reading Ursula, No You Didn’t!: How I Relate to Ariel from The Little Mermaid
Magical Mornings
Recently I've been waking up at 5 am. That gives me 2 hours—2!—for myself in the morning. Ahhhh. One morning I woke up at 6 instead of 5. It really messed with my rhythm. Also, I didn't get to dig deep into my soul that morning and I think that—exacerbated by poor-quality sleep the night … Continue reading Magical Mornings
In the Darkness, I find Light
In the Darkness I find light In the silence Inspiration The clock strikes 5 And I am beckoned to arise To ponder life In my own intimate space No kid No job Just me And my ever-yearning soul
