Getting My &*#@ Together Series: Dirty Water

As usual, there I was minding my entire black ass business when this week’s blog topic came to me while listening to a podcast.

“I’m there for everyone else, but no one is there when I need them.” While those exact words may not have been used, I’ve seen this sentiment run across my timeline a lot in the last week.

Getting my &*#@ Together Series: Know Thy Self

I started blogging a few years ago and would write about a variety of topics, from celebrity bs to my take on love and relationships.
