"Raw emotions are the key to unlocking our deepest truths." – Anonymous
Welcome back to another moment of random thoughts.
I love my current friends, but it may be time for a shift. Some of them are becoming mothers or finding love meanwhile I'm single, embracing my content journey, and living carefree. I find it harder and harder to relate to them which makes me sad, but life happens and people change.
Does anybody remember the 2014-2016 era when Plies used to do sweet pussy Saturday? Cardi referenced it in her song "Money Bag".
I like the concept of the 4B movement, however pick me women would be our downfall, and there would be a significant rise in sexual and domestic violation cases.
I love what Dr. Umar has and is doing for the community but within the past few months some of his commentary is very patriachal and I don't like that.
Pussy is going to smell like pussy. Granted, there's a vast difference between somebody's natural scent and a foul odor but pussy wasn't meant to smell like fruity pebbles.
Nobody’s perfect which is why God gives us grace, but that’s not a green light to sin or be irresponsible under the notion that God will give you a pass. Once again there are consequences and boundaries to his grace, don’t abuse it.
The term "frenemies" is fascinating because it describes an individual who harbors animosity towards their friend while coveting something that the friend has.
One reason I've been reluctant to support fly out culture is the continuous events within the celebrity realm. Although it’s vastly different from sex trafficking or prostitution, if the girl isn’t vigilant or used to that lifestyle the outcome may be vastly different from what they hoped or planned for.
I don’t believe every man with a certain income is abusive or a cheater, but it’s very naive for the girls to believe a man with a plethora of options isn’t going to require something in return if he’s doing this, that, & the third for them.
Relationships are supposed to be a partnership not one person carrying all the weight while the other person is a leech or bum. This applies to both genders and extends beyond financial matters.
On occasion, God may grant you your desires to show you that they are not truly what you desire.
God has the power to change anybody’s life in the blink of an eye, but faith without works is dead. Even with his grace and guidance, at some point you have to do something to help yourself.
I recently went to a Future concert and I was reminded that 2015 was a time to be alive, especially as a college student when he dropped Dirty Sprite 2.
There is a clear difference between a woman who is a single mother for any reason and the concept of being a baby mama. It is annoying when people fail to acknowledge this difference.
Being afraid of marriage or saying “marriage doesn’t guarantee anything”, then proceeding to play a part in having kids & creating broken homes is diabolical.
Breaking down the definition & meaning of a broken home to certain parts of the community is like saying “If Johnny had 5 apples.”
304 Tiktok has the best hygiene tips.
According to the 304s pedialyte or liquid IV creates that waterfall. At the moment, I'm single, but I would love for somebody to try it and DM me their feedback.
Kids need both parents and preferably everybody living in the same household. No amount of think pieces or “marriage doesn’t guarantee anything” changes the issues that typically occur as a product of a broken home especially when one parent is either inconsistent or nonexistent.
As a Black girl, I can attest that different hairstyles attract different types of men. I know the girls got mad when Shera said it, but as somebody who wears different styles, the wigs (within reason) are more socially acceptable and deemed more attractive.
Watching DDG enjoy fatherhood is the positivity our people need to see when it comes to meaning of an active dad. However his ongoing issues with the mother of his child is a different story.
I have a running list of things to say when you don’t have a valid answer. Currently “It’s a scheme set up by Todd (RHOA)”, blurting out joggers (RHOA), and thanks to that orange man I’m adding “Concepts of a plan” to the list.
Auntie loves the babies, but when I hear and see how draining motherhood is I question if it’s really for me. Too many women, both online and offline, seem miserable or resentful after becoming a mother.
The allegations against Diddy are reminiscent of R. Kelly 2.0, which is disheartening as, once again, many people are standing by and witnessing women being violated 🤦🏾♀️. I hope Trey Songs & Deshaun Watson are next.
Cheating and having an outside baby is wrong, but as a woman if you decide to take him back that also means accepting the baby and learning how to coparent with the former mistress.
I’m over people referencing God when their actions and decisions are far from Godly.
I can’t believe we’re living in an era where people downplay furthering your education and prioritizing marriage before babies. Some of the community is lost in the sauce.
Fuck those people. Nobody is going to bully or convince me that something is wrong with me because I’m not married or a mother yet. In the words of Mila J "I'm kicking back and I'm good."
Brunch in Houston isn't complete until you hear Mo City Don by Z-Ro.
I don't have unrealistic dating expectations because of social media. My expectations have been skewed since I started reading urban fiction in the 8th grade. Back in college, I was convinced that a millionaire would come to my rescue. Looking back, I was delusional or maybe not because I meet my first BDB during my freshman year.
If you don't act up and get in formation when you hear "Taking over the 99 and the 2000's" you can't hang with me.
A short story update about me, “I want a hundred band, some red flowers, and a fat ass diamond wedding ring.”
Raw reflections are not always easy to face, but they are essential for growth. They remind us to strip away the noise, confront our truths, and embrace our authentic selves—messy, flawed, and beautiful. In doing so, we allow space for healing, understanding, and transformation.
Happy Friday.
