here i am, a year later since i admitted to myself that i want to be a writer

Keywords: writing

so you have been creating art for yourself for a while now and are finally ready for the world to see it? actually publishing your work, well, that’s something else entirely. i started publishing my work on tumblr in 2018 (i think) and published it almost every day for a few years. with tumblr dying more and more, i decided to move to instagram and, after a few failed attempts, kept regularly posting since the summer of 2020. i’m not gonna lie: putting your work out there is hard. and trying to get it seen even harder. there are so many talented artists, how do i stand out, do i even want to stand out? do i want to constantly perform, constantly post? do i want to be a part of a platform that values quantity over quality? honestly, the answer to most of those was no, at least for me personally. but i knew at the same time that social media can also give artists a chance to be seen, a chance for their voice to be heard, the possibility to connect with other amazingly talented artists and with people who resonate with their work and for that, however challenging Instagram and co might be, i am incredibly thankful.

The more I grow with my anxiety, the more I want to experience on my own

Keywords: Blog Posts , anxiety , independence , mental health , social anxiety

I have always relied on my parents for everything, and they have always been able to provide it, which I will forever be grateful, but there’s just days where I don’t really feel like interacting with anyone I live with, and not because I’m in a mood or anything, it’s just the energy I put into an interaction, is energy I’d rather spend on something else. I guess this is why I’m always out with friends, and if I’m not, I try to leave the house at least once, just to get some space.

I want this blog to be a resource, not a glorified therapy journal

But I feel okay telling you that my early adulthood has not been easy. It has often felt characterized less by my successes than a string of traumatic (not a word I use lightly) experiences which I have not always been a willing participant in. This is not to say I’ve never fucked up or made self-sabotaging decisions- I absolutely have. But it has taken me a long time to accept that I have not always deserved the treatment I have received, particularly in a sexual and romantic context. Very rarely, in fact.

Despite all eight million outcomes of a life, it seems like mine is supposed to be here

Keywords: {0}

i’ve been wondering if i’m supposed to settle for someone or not trust my gut & shame myself for not having feelings for someone – like I should even though I don’t… I think it stems from a concern that I will never meet someone with the level of understanding & friendship that i’m dreaming of. but then I was listening to this song about this girl who met someone that feels perfect & right & I was like, I mean every love song in the world can’t be lying right. & then I decided that it’s just going to have to stem from faith. & for the time being, i’m going to trust my gut with these things & stop stringing things along that I know ultimately don’t feel right. so I guess you could say i’ve had this hesitant conviction to not lead men on so much. dot dot dot. eek. I can be selective, I rlly can. & not just go with the flow. I think I need to just do less going w the flow in general. nothing wrong w being a girl who knows what she wants. & I feel like in life & overall, I have a pretty decent idea of what I want.

I can only be the best that I can be, not what others want me to be

I am saying that they expect me and will force me to do what is ideal in their eyes when it comes to career and life decisions. There have been times where I say just stop doing this to yourself and leave, but it is like an abusive relationship. I have stood my ground and told my parents to just straight up stop because I cannot handle the constant debt on my shoulders even though you say it’s not there.

Our generation is such a unicorn in a sense that we are truly claiming any space we want to occupy and figuring it out when we get there

Keywords: millennial landlord chronicles , landlords , lifestyle , millennial , partners moving in together , real estate

I want to share these experiences to provide representation of black millennials being landlords and highlighting both the benefits and struggles. I’m so big on normalizing everything not being ok because just as I’m going through it so is the next person but just as we are going through it someone else reading my post has gotten through it and would be able to help the both of us! For that reason alone, I share!
