This is my brain on.. deep.

It dawned on me last night that I'm sort of missing being in a relationship. It also dawned on me that I spend a lot of time blaming everyone else for the fact that I'm single, and while I still believe that is partly true, I came to the realization that yes.. it's my fault too. I think I house FEAR.


I found myself wondering: What the hell is the REAL reason why I'm single? I've been single over 4 years now. I didn't know myself then. I thought I knew myself now, but now I'm not so sure. Have I found myself? Am I the new, confident Essence I always wanted to be? Am I really? Or am I still holding myself back. What the fuck am I afraid of??


One thing I DO know is that I should be more than willing to go above and beyond for the one I'm with, but I think I'm so afraid of NOT getting the same in return, I still have this defiant thing going on. I was always pushing the envelope and putting every ounce of my power into keeping "us" alive.. whoever "we" were at the time.. only to look up and realize I was the only one pulling the wagon while he was just sitting on top of it. Going through that again scares the shit out of me.


I'm well aware that when love comes, I'm not gonna expect it. It's not supposed to be expected. It's supposed to hit you like a ton of bricks.. POW! Like.. when the fuck did I fall in love with you, dude? So.. I know that "love" is the ONE word that you cannot speak into existence. I do think about it a lot, though. I can't help it. There are guys that are never on my mind who frequently try and ease their way into my life.. and there are guys that are constantly on my mind that never give me the time of fucking day. But isn't that always how it is? All I'm waiting on is that ONE mutual attraction.

-Screaming- CAN ANYONE HEEEAR MEEEEE???

Personal Problem

This is me right now. But Black. LOL So if you know me, you know that it's pretty hard to get me really mad. I've learned over time that there is too much to smile about, too much positivity, too many blessings bestowed upon me for me to get angry and upset over menial things. That extra stress is very unnecessary. However, I do have a personal issue. I DO tend to get stressed out sometimes, but I recognize that it is nobody's fault but my own. The only time this really happens is when I repress what I want to express...and harbor it inside until it becomes such a heavy weight on my shoulders that it becomes unbearably painful. Yea, I know that this may sound surprising to those that check the webshow and/or follow me on Twitter, but sometimes, I am afraid to say what's on my mind. For some, this may not be very surprising at all lol. I usually end up quite depressed because of this. When all I have to do is simply say what's on my mind, I get scared. I freeze up. I

It’s the anniversary of my resignation.

This is the life. God knows it hasn’t been perfect, but it’s been way more exciting than the life I was living before. Still a long way to go! Sidney and I are finally settling on a focus for our business and it looks like we will be moving forward soon. I’m very excited about the idea of having something that’s for US: Working our asses off for our family, instead of a boss or a manager at a 9 to 5. What I’ve learned about starting a business so far is, the process is easier than it seems. Yes you have to have some money and yes it is a LOT of work but to start a small business doesn’t require as much money as one may think. Paperwork seems fairly easy so far. It’s just a matter of how big you want your business to be. And let me tell y’all something about me: My goal here is not to make some ridiculous amount of money. I want a modest lifestyle. I just want to find something that A) we like to do and B) that the community we live in doesn’t have. Or something they have t

So I quit my job today..

.. or rather, submitted a letter of resignation. When I've said that I've been feeling a change coming, this is one of those major things I was talking about. I've been dealing with being unhappy for a long time now. It's not necessarily the job itself, but a JOB IN GENERAL. I sit at this desk every weekday of my life and daydream about a different type of life. I try to work on other endeavors while I'm off, but even something as simple as a hobby is damn near impossible because when I'm not at work, I have mommy duties. When I don't have mommy duties, I'm at work. Sometimes those two things loop into each other. And when I have a moment to have a break from both all I'm trying to do is REST. I thank God every day that I was able to land a great-paying job at a respected agency right out of college. I was hired before I even graduated, which was a huge blessing and I am very proud of that accomplishment. I was convinced that I was going to be th
