But How Does This Benefit Me? Historically, men have been socialized and conditioned into systems that primarily benefit them. And you know what? Players will play. I watched The Odyssey a few weeks ago, and one thing remained incredibly consistent throughout the entire story: men’s decision-making process. First beneficiary in line? Them. Individually. Because what exactly was … More The Frontal Lobe Package
The Family We Didn’t Choose Maturing is realizing that maybe we wouldn’t be friends with some of our family members if we actually had the choice. That’s not shade. It’s just the truth. Values don’t always align. Life choices don’t always match. Personalities can clash. Yet blood and a shared last name have a way … More The Complicated Gift of Family
What has been the best purchase I’ve ever made? My degrees. Now, before anyone reminds me about the student loans, yes, I’m aware. I’m still paying for them, and with interest! But despite that reality, I can honestly say they were worth every penny. Those degrees provided me with more than just an education. They … More Worth Every Penny
The internet is not a real place. Remember that. And yet, it never fails to deliver. In my pursuit of staying informed and keeping up with the latest drama, I’ve noticed something: the girls seem to need crushes.

Honestly, I would love to have both of them at the same … More Philosophy, Chaos, and a Dinner Invitation
I kept starting this blog over the past few weeks and never finishing it. I kept wondering why. Maybe because some days I feel low-key burnt out, and other days I am simply trying to keep myself afloat. This is my last residency year as a Licensed Associate before reaching the holy grail of full … More Healing. Working. Existing. Repeating.
As of now, I truly appreciate a good nap. I can’t believe I used to fight against them. Now, I will nap anywhere, as long as it feels safe. Whether on a couch, in a quiet room, or in the middle of the day with the sun shining, naps have become non-negotiable for me. When … More Booked, Busy, and Still Napping
Wow… what a week. What a month. What a year. And it’s only day 18. I swear we had a whole conversation with 2026 before it even got here, politely asking it to be gentle with us. Clearly, it did not get the memo. So, what is actually going on, y’all? There is so much … More Coping Skills, Willpower, and Bravo
I’ve mastered the art of ignoring people, and removing toxic ones. If someone’s core values revolve around hurting others, I’ve learned that letting them go is not just healthy, it’s essential. In today’s climate, boundaries aren’t optional; they’re survival. Now, I’d like to tap into my creative side a little more. I’ve never been great … More From Boundaries to Braids….maybe.
