So bear with me as I take a nose dive into all the things I’m grateful for this month. Continue Reading

The Path Between Us

path between us
The Path Between Us, was inspired by a book I read this morning about a soldier coming home permanently and his wife attempting to come to terms with the things he’s seen and done. All the while trying to reach him through it all. Told from her perspective.

There’s this massive path between us that prevents me from getting close enough to you,

It’s almost as if the road block will never be lifted or the obstacle won’t ever move. Continue Reading

8 Apps I Can’t Live Without

apps

Let’s face it. We all hold our phones to a certain level of love and attention that some researchers may call “unhealthy”.

Is it though? I mean yes obviously. But speaking generally first. I’d like to think that our phones hold the answers to so much that to not hold it so near and dear to ourselves would be suicide on all fronts. I’m talking not knowing where to be, who you’re supposed to be there with, professional and social commitments, personal appointments, the ability to quick pay… I mean must I continue?

MY FIRST 30 DAYS AS A REGISTERED NURSE

Wow, 30 days as a Registered Nurse?! Time flies when you’re having fun. Those words have never been truer than they are right now, at this point in my life. It’s been 3 months since I graduated from nursing school and one month since I started working in the hospital as a registered nurse. BRB, just going to do a quick happy dance before continuing because — your girl is doing big thangs y’all. WHOOP!

It still feels surreal that my time spent in nursing school was worth it and led me to this point. That I reached a goal I had fought for tooth and nail. I’m not sure if the wonder of that will ever go away. & To be honest, I hope it never does. In light of having the first month under my belt, because big thangs obvi. I figured what better time than now to share! SO keep reading as I look back on my first 30 days as a registered nurse. Recounting my experiences and the things I’ve learned because of them.

WHY I DON’T BELIEVE IN RELATIONSHIP GOALS ANYMORE

relationship goals

If you asked me a month ago about what couples were relationship goals, whew. I’d have listed off too many. Though these days I’m singing a totally different tune when it comes to relationships. They’re just never what they seem to be y’all. I think I’ve always known that, but I became more sure of that recently. There are so many things left to the imagination. I’m talking things you will never know about someone else’s life with another person. Things you aren’t meant to know to be honest. So to pit your own relationship or the one you hope to have on the basis of another is honestly a bit wild and mostly unrealistic.

How can you desire a relationship that you have no idea the ins and outs of..? How can someone else’s relationship be your relationship goals? Continue Reading
