It is January 2022 and here I am, just a few months shy of my mastering consistency year anniversary. Lately, I have been writing ever-so-often, yet it seems that I ‘thought dump’ close to once a year. This time around, I trying to be different. I write often, yet I don’t share. I pay to take …
I deleted his social media profile. Clap it up for me. I think, in a small way, I gave myself a mini round of applause. Over the past few years, I haven’t given much attention to the actual profile itself. It lived in the world of social media spotlights and connections. You know, not the …

It’s 2017. I’ve been having quite a time conceptualizing the fact that 2016 has come and gone and my life has changed so much in a matter of countable days. For starters, I have not updated and/or written on my blog for over a year. I could say that I was too busy living, yet …
