So here’s something new I want to try. Monday’s will be my rant days. What this means is, I’ll rant about something that’s got my mind cloudy whether that be societal issues, personal issue, political issues, etc. It’ll serve two purposes. One, I’ll get to connect with you more. Secondly, this should help break down those writing blocks and keep my brain free of clutter.

That way, you as my readers, can get a glimpse into what either makes me tick, or ticks me off. What the hell, we may have more in common than a desire to spill words across a page. Please feel free to leave comments down below. I’ll be sure to take all constructive criticism into account.

I’m trying new things on this blog. I mean it has been sitting here for a while so let’s wake it up shall we?!

Entertainment

More along the lines of reality television. One of my absolute favorite shows aired last night. Bravo’s Married To Medicine aired the Episode “Heavenly Homecoming.” Let me start by saying this, sometimes these shows are the very epitome of “ratchet tv,” BUT they often times depict some major issues that society has made light of. For instance, in this episode Dr’s Jackie and Simone accompany Heavenly on her trip home to hash out some old demons. This is in response to Dr. Heavenly recently bringing Anger Management Therapy.

Don’t get me wrong, I live for a dose of Heavenly and Mariah bashing!!! However, I do think she’s taking a great step into figuring out why she speaks so harshly to folks sometimes. Society has definitely placed a stigma on therapy as a whole! Especial I’m the African American Community. Many of us, yes child I’m included, fear seeking the help we need because we are afraid to look weak. But in actuality who’s the weakling? Someone who’s strong enough to seek the professional help or someone who knows the help is needed, but refuses to take advantage of it?!

With that being said, I’m guessing Cardi B needs to join Dr. Heavenly on that couch for some therapy honey!!! According to CNN, the love and hip hop rapper turned herself in to police custody and is facing assault charges!!! Child, apparently she and her crew allegedly assaulted two bar tenders at a strip club. This allegedly all went down prior to the chaotic run in she had with Niki Minaj!!!

I’m no psychologist or anything, but maybe Cardi is a little angry being that she can’t keep her hands to herself! No tea, no shade because I love me some Cardi, but baby word to the wise, you’re too old for the drama honey!

Personal Korner

Lets chat about trust! The five letter word that’s hard to gain and easy to lose. What is it about trust that make things so complicated? It’s like one minute you have it! You don’t give a damn about anything, you never second guess people, then BOOM, everybody’s suspect!

I know for me trust went out the window after a bad relationship. Well, I can’t say it was all bad because as all relationships, it started off bomb as fuck. Then as the relationship matured, things happened that resulted in a lost of trust. Needless to say since then, my trust is all the way fucked up. I mean I trust no one! I know it isn’t fair to others, but after a certain situation and being crossed by those who I called family, I just can’t give myself freely to anyone anymore. That entails friendships, situation-ships, relationships, etc.

Don’t get me wrong, I’m working on it! I’m trying daily to give that trust to folk. It’s hard as hell though. Tell me this loves, how do you rebuild trust after being let down repeatedly? Let’s Chat!

And remember, regardless of what the day entails, the “toxins” you inhale only stay there for as long as you allow them. Don’t forget to exhale loves!
