Y’awl know I’m dating again. It’s light, fun, and I actually have a few suitors I entertain. For the first time, I’m actively a serial dater. Before, I would give it a half ass try, end up being in a relationship before it’s solidified, and it would eventually blow up. These days, I’m sticking to my guns. I want to learn the deepest part of someone, before there’s a commitment. I gotta make sure we have capacity for each other. In the past, I had a habit of not letting…

No! I Don’t Want a 30+ Year-old man Making $15/hr–PERIODT! Don’t Tell me I’m Wrong

There’s a meme circulating FB & it asks would you date a man who makes $15/hr? I said no and folks were clearly bothered by it.

‘Cuz I’m my own soulmate/I know how to love me/ I’m always gon’ hold me down I’m no relationship expert. As I get wiser, I don’t even subscribe to the idea that there are true relationship experts.

Which actually brings me to my point, be your own soulmate. F-k looking for one. Welp, if you are a regular reader, you know I…

Do Not Disturb: Your Friends Can’t Carry Your Cross

We all love our friends. I mean, they could be some really great people. But, sometimes having friends can be draining. Not because they’re dead weight or cause problems but sometimes they don’t consider if you have the capacity to assist. At some point, we all should be mindful of how many conversations we have about the same ol’, same ol’.
