WHY I’M SO GRATEFUL FOR MY EX

why I'm so grateful for my ex

Shouldn’t we all be though? Ever since Ariana Grande’s hit single, Thank You Next became privy to the world — it’s all us girls have been chanting. Or singing rather.

One reason being, the song is super catchy so how could you not.

The second reason? In some ways being grateful for your ex beats holding on to pent up hatred or resentment.

SUNDAY CHAT: COMPARISON IS THE THIEF OF JOY

Comparison is the thief of joy

Have you ever heard that before? “Comparison is the thief of joy” that is.

I hadn’t till a friend of mine posted the quote on her instastory. So naturally I reposted it to mine because, duh. Social media and something with meaning making an impact obviously. I mean there has always been this understanding that it’s never good to compare yourself to the next person. However, I had never seen it written out in such a simple, but impactful way.

cheers to 2019

SCREAMING HAPPY NEW YEAR BABES + clinking my glass and softly saying, “Cheers to 2019.

You guuuuuys. It’s officially the new year! Can y’all believe it? Honestly I can’t. It usually takes me a little bit to come to terms with the fact that it’s officially a new year. However, I’m excited as ever to get a fresh start. There is something so beautiful about the new year. Mainly because it spans farther than it just being a new month. Baby it’s a new freaking YEAR. We all get a chance to do things differently and make necessary changes that could affect our lives in the greatest of ways.

THE MAN I KNEW I WANTED TO LOVE

Man I knew I Wanted to Love

I  once met a man I knew I wanted to love.

He was charismatic, but kind,

Hard, but damn fine

He knew his way in the kitchen to that I could attest,

making it hard for me to compare his capabilities to the rest.

He was the kind of man who warmed me up when I was cold,

simple things that gave way to getting to the depths of my soul.

So it stands to reason that this man was someone I’d always knew I wanted to know.

 

Because as a child, I had pictured,

 

A man that was charismatic and just as kind,

who brought more to the table than just a few smooth lines.

He’d be a listener who’d catch every word I’d say,

letting me run my  mouth to no end, but right there he would stay.

Not to be confused, I would be his support system just as much as he’d be mine.

With an unshakeable foundation,

prepared to stand the test of time.

That’s what I’d always wanted for myself,

this I could never deny.

And to think I met him, then later questioned why.

Here’s the thing about meeting the man I knew I wanted to love.

I never said finding then keeping him,

wouldn’t be a challenge all on its own.
