Random rantings of the misfit kind.
"Great people do things before they're ready". Simple quote, but yesterday morning, during my daily wake-up ritual of opening up social media (don't judge me), it was the first one I saw, and it hit me hard. It ended up shaping not only the course of my day, but it also impacted my interactions. Maybe... Continue Reading →
Did you know that almost all of the people (91%) who make resolutions never succeed at reaching their desired outcome? With a week down, have you thought about what side of that coin you're going to land on?
The idealism that we may have felt on 12/31/15 has been chipped at a little, but it doesn't mean that the year was lived in vain. Some of us attained knowledge of self and others, in ways that made us question everything around us. It was a year of growth - uncomfortable growth - that served the purpose of revealing our strengths, and our weaknesses.
It's very easy to run away from and avoid the reality of our lives. It's even easier to harbor hatred and feigned indifference, than it is to examine ourselves and determine the role we've played in the demise of something that was once deemed important and beautiful. Hatred is not a clear-cut emotion, but is... Continue Reading →
I wish I were one of those people who could get up early in the morning and feel like they can take on the world. You know who I mean. Those people who rise at five, do a little meditation and yoga, sip some coffee, ponder life and the like. The truth is, I'm not... Continue Reading →
One of my very best girlfriends sent me a wonderful, inspiring short video this morning. It was a video of Steve Harvey, and in it, he was discussing how important it is for us to decide to step out on faith and take that "jump" towards fulfilling our purpose in life. I loved it so...

What a difference a year can make. For the past couple of months, I have spent considerable time reflecting on the things that have affected me over the last twelve months. I've made some bad decisions, I've lost people I loved, and I've gone from someone relevant to a stranger in the eyes of others.... Continue Reading →
I feel as if I haven't written about relationships in a while, and the inspiration hit when I was having a discussion with a friend on the way home from work today. We were dissecting something I'd read that examined being attracted to and attracting unavailable people (both physically and emotionally), and ultimately, forging faux-lationships with...

I just watched a clip of Kanye West on the Jimmy Kimmel show. Yes, of Kanye West. Now, I realize a lot of people may not be a fan of his, because of his cockiness, his rudeness, his oft-occurring a**hole-ish-ness. I too have said, I’m over Kanye, he’s a cancer on society, his time is over,... Continue Reading →
It's okay to be alone with yourself. That's what I've been telling myself for the past five days. It's human nature to want to be around people, connect with other souls (no matter how much you may tell yourself that you'd rather be alone). We crave conversation, shared experiences, love, companionship, all those good things.... Continue Reading →
