A little while ago I purchased a few swimsuits from MatteCollection.com. I had wanted to do a haul post immediately, but I was a little self-conscious. Finally, after a couple months of intense exercise, I feel better, physically, but mostly emotionally. I am ready to embrace my body in these swimsuits! The first swimsuit is … Continue reading Teeny Weeny Swimsuit Haul

Focus on the Good (When You Need a Break)
Through all of the happenings in the world, it was easy for me to feel like I was going to lose. I was either going to die by Coronavirus or by racism. I had literally given myself a timeline. And then I got sick. So sick, mentally, that my body started breaking down so that … Continue reading Focus on the Good (When You Need a Break)
Free at Last!
I had been stuck in a very bad depressive episode (did I jinx myself?!) for about a week. It was nothing but laying in bed and crying all day and all night. I even took out my braids, which is my equivalent to shaving my head. I kept telling myself I would get through it … Continue reading Free at Last!
Lying to Yourself

Some things are getting worse, like my sleep, and my seasonal affective disorder, but otherwise I … Continue reading Hoping for good news
Fighting SAD
Another winter is coming in quickly, and for a while I was feeling physically sick without knowing why.

And so, I have been fighting seasonal depression, and quite … Continue reading Fighting SAD
