The Dating Games

Now, we have all been there when it comes to being on dating apps. It feels like every time we swipe right we never know what we are going to get. Almost like the Hunger Games of the dating world. You quickly find out that the bios of these men and women are simply just a means to showcase their greatest attributes, their failed attempts, or their inability to attract the right person due to their unresolved trauma. 

As an intuitive, from my own escapades, I have noticed how insecure men can be in the dating world. Now, for me personally tinder and those apps have never been a hit for me. People do not know how to separate their long term needs from their short term desires. Even when their are specific apps set up just for sex, men like to search in other applications where they can get girlfriend amenities, with sexual relations. Without having to actually commit. 

Since being on this dating app for Parents called Stir I have noticed that there are a lot of men with children…on dating apps…looking for sex. Or their bio will read “not looking for anything serious..we can see where this goes…if it leads to something that’s okay”. Now, as a man why do you feel getting on a dating app for parents, just to want to have a fuck buddy is okay? Why do you feel testing the water, with no intent to lead a woman to anything but an unpromised orgasm is the way to go? Is it that you are too insecure to go on general apps just for hookups in fear that women may not want you if they know that you have children? 

There was one app I stumbled upon called Pure, it’s a dating and also strictly hook ups. The one thing I loved about this app was it allowed for full transparency, no hidden motives, no guessing games with what people wanted. Most of them just want either short term or long term hook ups anyway. Which I loved about the app. It allows you to input the different types of kinks, love languages, as well as what type of foreplay you are into. Very direct I might add, and straight to the point. 

So, my question is, why are men that are parents afraid to be on apps that are geared for just sex, rather than taking up space on an app for women with children who are genuinely looking to date? Now, this isn’t to say parents don’t deserve to be on dating apps besides the ones created strictly for parents. But, why waste other people’s time, or create filler words in your bio that insinuate you aren’t sure of what you want. You know you don’t want commitment, but you also aren’t being straight forward that you just want sex? 

In episodes on my Podcast I have spoken about my dealings with men who haven’t been fully transparent as to why they are single. Or what they can stand to work on. There was one guy I dealt with who essentially dropped his whole childhood trauma on me, along with a sob story about why he and the mother of his children were not together. Upon doing some digging, and general intuitiveness, I realized it was him that was the reason for their split. Another situation, I’m talking to this guy and things were already ehh. Between the pet names, and the dry conversation I was turned off. It was not until I asked him why he was still single and he said these women just were not able to check the boxes on my list. So I asked him what exactly are those? What are you wanting/looking for? To which he replied the same thing. He essentially wanted a woman to prove they were worth him giving his time. The man with little to no conversation and referring to women in greetings as “Good Morning Cupcake”. My issue with this is, when you take your past issues and project them onto people. Now I can understand you don’t want someone playing catfish with you if you tell them what you are looking for and they soon become “The One”. But, say you meet someone who is honest and they simply tell you, I personally don’t think we are a good match, you’re not what I am looking for. I also understand honesty is not always the best policy when it comes to dating so I digress. 

Now, everyone is different. I can fully understand that some women like to make the first move, while men are receptive to that. The issue is that not a lot of men don’t know how to offer deep conversation, actually get to know someone. There have been so many instances that I have swiped left or “dislike” on a man’s profile simply because of how aggressive he comes off in his bio. Or how much he sounds like he is projecting his pain from past relationships before a woman can get a chance to even meet, let alone speak to him. After noticing this being a constant thing, I legit started copying the bio of certain men I would see, pasting it onto ChatGPT and asking “What is the issue with this bio?”. To which it often replied “Most of the info being disclosed is irrelevant”. People talking about not wasting their time, what their last ex did, not actually showcasing the good qualities about themselves, not being clear on what they are looking for. The list goes on. 

With all of these things, it has prompted me to deactivate my dating apps. Now I know there are lots of people who have success with them, or even have met their current partner. But, I am slowly realizing I want to feel someone’s energy from meeting them in person, be able to probe and ask questions, get a feel for who they are in that moment. A lot like how dating was before technology really came into play. Because let’s be real, no millennial is using Eharmony or Christian Mingle. If they are, well then you don’t hear about it often. 

What have your dating experiences been like? Are you more of an in-person dater or an online type of dater? 

Spirit Babies: Life on The Other Side

For most that aren’t familiar, I’ve spoken about spirit babies on my Podcast, What’s Up Under That? Spirit babies are babies of the spiritual plane, who will often communicate with you or a spiritual consultant (such as an intuitive reader, psychic, etc) on their arrival or things they’re wanting you to work through to prepare for their arrival.

Often they can be either in a baby form, toddler, teen, or even an adult. Now, I’m sure you say, how is that? While the term “Spirit Baby” isn’t synopsis to baby per se, it can truly vary in the tone in which they speak. Or the memories they hold with you from either past lives, or even your childhood, down to certain periods in your life. Some spirit babies have the duty of your Spiritual or as most call it Spirit Guide.

Some children’s responsibility is to help you with their soon-to-be siblings, some are to help you with things you may need to work on within yourself, and for some, it’s simply helping you to work and heal the relationship with your womb, to have a healthy pregnancy and carry them to term. Others may have a specific duty in life to fulfill and making sure you’re prepared to be a parent is a part of that. Think of it like this, what if Michael Jackson or Prince, or even Jhene Aikos’ parents never had them? These are spiritual beings who had a very specific purpose to fulfill and a duty on this earth. To uplift and shift the vibration of those around them through their music, and their pure intentions. Also to break the barriers of what music is. This is just a slight example to show you, one of the many ways spirit babies have a duty to this world. Even if it’s simply just you birthing them, they crave to fulfill that.

Now, there may also be times when a miscarriage happens, or an abortion and these children don’t make it. Oftentimes, it’s simply because it wasn’t the right time, the right person or the baby just wasn’t ready yet. In my own experience, I had to have an abortion. In my case, it was the wrong time and the wrong person. Yes, spirit babies can be born to the wrong people in their anxious efforts to come to earth side. In some cases, they are born to parents who have karma, never worked through said karma, and are now responsible to help transmute that and break the barriers. This can be known as generational curses. A cycle which, has been perpetually continued, until that one spirit baby is born and puts an end to all that.

Another thing I’d like to speak on is when spirit babies are in contact with their earth-side siblings. As I spoke above, about my own experience with mines, I’ve seen and bared witness to just how much they connect not only with me, their grandmother, or friends of mines to deliver messages, but with my son. It’ll be times when he gets in trouble for doing something, something that most kids would get in trouble if they had a partner in crime. Or instances where he may voice how badly he wants a baby brother or sister. Being a Gemini, that’s uncommon. As they do crave to have siblings, if not they tend to nurture the connections close to them.

It’s amazing to see the capacity in which these spirit babies will interact with you. Some may send signs such as Angel numbers (to get a full guide on Angel numbers and their meanings you can purchase mines for $1.11 here https://payhip.com/b/lZvYA), colors, numbers, and even things that they love. For example, my spirit babies (yes bringing back a friend lol) love the colors purple, and army green. What’s funny about that is, those are two of my moms’ favorite colors. So there may even be times when they tend to stay close to those around them or even family members they trust. My mom was known for tending to her grandchildren, and always remaining close. So they stayed near her before I even fully knew they existed. Which has been quite the thing to see.

There have even been instances when spirit babies are excited for their arrival, you can see their orb floating by either the mother-to-be or the father as well. In my case, some spirit babies can seem very shy at first, while others are very vocal. But, towards the end of the pregnancy, they can seem to simmer down. Either from helping the other parent, or assisting them rather, in preparation for their arrival, or simply as they prepare to come into this world. Some spirit babies prepare to meet you, while others may prepare to meet their adoptive parents. The one thing that rings true, these babies do choose their parents. Based on their karmic contract and duties to fulfill. An example is the little boy, or adult rather named Dave from the book A Child Called It. It’s crazy to think, a spirit baby would’ve chosen a brutally abusive mother, who would be the reason for all his pain and suffering. But, as Dave got older, and went on to write, over 3 books detailing his experience. In a way to not only share his story but to bring a sense of hope to those who share stories alike. Showing them they are more than their pain and trauma. They are capable and deserving of living a happy and full life. Just by him sharing what happened on his own. Not to mention, getting married, book tours, and to my knowledge, public speaking engagements.

To tie things up, the point I’m wanting to drive home is all these babies have a purpose, and strive to fulfill that in whatever way is deemed fit. So while people may say, do we choose our parents? We indeed do. What comes with that, is merely something our vessels cannot comprehend. But, our spirit knows.

Observing vs Absorbing


Reading Time: 3 minutes and 35 seconds

Recently I discovered something about my son.  He showed me the difference between transmuting energy and suppressing (or absorbing) it. Now let me tell you all the backstory behind this realization. 

I was sitting on the couch, zoned out crocheting this Queen Size Amethyst colored blanket. While doing this I noticed my mind was quiet. My thought wasn’t running rampant, everything was very settled and grounded. As I’m doing this, my son is calmly playing with his toys. Now, I say calmly because he’s usually bouncing off the walls jumping from activity to activity. I’m not always the best at managing my energy. Or finding ways to manage or allow my emotions to flow. 

This just means, what I don’t transmute, ends up being suppressed. Some ways can be, via overeating; boredom eating, mindlessly scrolling on social media, and going from task to task. While not completing a single thing. Essentially running away from my problems, or emotions I should say. Me viewing these emotions, as a problem. 

When I took the time to ground my energy, by crocheting, I noticed there wasn’t anything for him to transmute. Being a Gemini, his nervous system is always picking up something. This is why, teaching them (Geminis), to observe and not absorb is crucial. While maintaining the energy of their environment as well. Geminis are almost like Richter scales, picking up on any sudden changes that could cause a major shift in the energy. 

Now, of course, this will vary from Gem to Gem. But, per my observation over time. Geminis have to flourish in a healthy environment. They have to be taught how to discern their energy, from everyone else’s. When their nervous system goes haywire, it will, and/or can result in, alcohol and substance abuse, sex addiction, being major people pleasers, and an array of things. Especially engaging in negative behavior or social circles. 

A lot of the time, Geminis have to go through periods of isolation. This can be at random, or when dealing with mass amounts of energy. This allows them space to recharge, cleanse, and find what works for them. While also processing the information they’ve absorbed. 

Some healthy ways to help them transmute this energy at the moment are, taking deep breaths and doing check-ins, paying attention to energy shifts (observing it, vs absorbing); this will help them to avoid being the “fixer” in a situation. If able, remove themselves from the situation and/or environment. The last thing needed is to engage when emotions are high. Especially if you’re more of a react, vs a respond type of person. 

Another way to help transmute the energy is by engaging in hobbies that you love. When you’re able to redirect your energy, this allows you to detach yourself from the energy that’s present. Now, this won’t look the same all the time. As I stated in the beginning, at that time my energy wasn’t grounded. My son wasn’t in the right place mentally and kept getting frustrated. I said my peace, so instead of engaging in his behavior and absorbing it. I decided to transmute it and crochet. 

Now this is something I’ve been working on. More so because I’m a Gemini Venus. When I’m not operating in love, or doing things that I love and please me. I can be very scattered when I’m not operating from that place. This also includes doing things that please me. Checking your natal chart and seeing where Gemini falls, your 3rd house, as well as Mercury, can help to see how you can utilize that energy to keep you grounded. 

Say you have Gemini in your Venus or 2nd house. Ways you can transmute energy by doing things that de-stimulate your senses or rather soothe them. So doing puzzles, utilizing aromatherapy, taking a supplement (always consult your dr), listening to HZ sounds or binaural beats, and lastly, watching something that feels comforting. 

I will link the below calculators to human design charts I use, along with natal chart calculators. These can help you better to navigate the ways you learn to observe vs absorb the energy around you. Please be aware, your accurate birth time, date, city and state are required in order to get an accurate insight on these tools.

Apology To Myself

How often do you make a mistake, say the wrong thing, or put yourself in a situation you know you can’t get out of? Then you’re sitting up beating yourself up. Calling yourself stupid, dumb constantly saying how you should’ve did this or that or took an alternate route? Look stop that shit you’re fucking human. You’re not perfect, you’re gonna do dumb shit. You’re gonna make mistakes, you’re gonna say things you know you shouldn’t, you’re gonna hurt people and lose ones you never thought a day in your life you’d ever lose. But, all you can do is say what’s done is done I can’t change what I did or said and move the fuck on. Now I’m sure you’ll probably say that’s easier said than done but this shit not gone come over night. You’ll keep getting put in situations that will test how you treat yourself until you just say enough is enough. One thing I’ve been doing whenever I feel myself doing that is saying, how would you feel if half the shit you say to yourself someone said to you? That would hurt your damn feelings and have you in tears. So answer me this….why is it okay for you to do that to yourself? If you don’t have an answer to that it may be time to start working on how you treat yourself…..the hardest part about this is realizing you owe yourself an apology for how you treated yourself

So What Are We Walking For Again???

Okay now the topics are gonna be doing a little bit of a shift. Keep in mind I am not a nutritionist and some of these things that are said are based on research, some personal experience. Now, I’m sure y’all have seen the walk for cancer, the ribbons being plastered on food products, people at your job asking for donations to walk to fund finding the “cure” for cancer. Or when you go to the grocery store you see all the pink for breast cancer awareness month. The question with all of this is, what are we ACTUALLY making the people aware of? The damaging effects of chemo? The sky high doctor bills the patient leaves with after successfully being dubbed cancer free? The fact of how the chemo makes people lose all their hair and practically dries their body from the inside out? I’m just curious because Susan G. Komen has been representing this for years and you all mean to tell me there is still no cure?  

I just recently wrote a status on Facebook stating “pure insanity is the government helping YOU look for the cure, all while making you pay for it”. You know how when you’re in the phone and at the same time looking for your phone? Or better yet when you been waiting all day for that plate of food and the person who ate it helps you look for it? That’s equivalent to what the government does with the cure. Many won’t realize the cure is in every single grocery store they go to, or every farmers market they pass by. A lot of people don’t know cancer isn’t a death sentence and it can be cured.  

You see there was a documentary from the man Dr. Sebi, in this documentary he stated “when the body is alkaline, mucus has no place to go”. One of the things he stated he saw in a lot of his patients he cured was mucus. Constantly spitting out mucus and just the body releasing a lot of it. When you’re consuming foods constantly that are highly acidic to the body, the body will go into defense mode and create mucus to protect itself. The same way it does when you get sick, that’s why you’re always blowing your nose, coughing up phlegm, so on and so forth.  

For your body an optimum level for its pH balance is 7.2. Most fruits and vegetables fall on the scale of being acidic or being alkaline. If it’s alkaline that’s less work for the body to do in a sense. But when you consume fruit since the body recognizes it it digests it a lot faster which is why most people don’t tend to like eating healthy because they complain of always being hungry. That alone can be the issue for most is we’ve consumed processed foods, meats, dairy and all that junk nobody truly knows what hunger should feel like or when they are just thirsty. Most of the time when you’re laying down and you feel your stomach rumbling, it’s not due to hunger. It’s the movement of peristalsis helping to navigate your food and digest it. Not so much that you’re hungry. I was telling my friend if you’re one to pay attention to your bowel movements you ever notice how some meals you at you won’t actually see it in the toilet until days later? That doesn’t seem off to you all? Cooked food and animal based food can take anywhere from 1-4 days to fully digest whereas fruit take anywhere from 20-40 minutes. Which explains why when people eat cooked food or processed food they have this conception they stay full “longer” when in all actuality your digestive system has slowed down so the sign of “hunger” takes longer to appear.  

There’s quite a few different things I’ve tried that I know are tried and true and actually work. One of them being intermittent fasting. The times are up to you but, generally you fast for 16 hours, and eat during the other 8. During those 16 hours you can only drink water. Now I know for most this sounds absolutely insane. But when you’re healing your body and you learn to decipher hunger from digestion as well as thirst it becomes easier. Now once you fast is up he best thing to break your fast with is either vegetables or fruit. More than likely fruit. Considering as stated it takes a shorter amount of time to digest.  

Another few that I’ve tried is vegetarian, vegan, and fruitarian. Out of them all I honestly like being fruitarian the most. Food is always accessible, it digests quickly, you have more energy, you can easily eat your daily water amount. You don’t have to worry about meal prep. It’s the cheapest of all of them, another amazing benefit is you shit a lot less because your body is using all the nutrients from what you’re eating. Now I’m not saying you HAVE to become a fruitarian it doesn’t come over night. But when you religiously eat meat and want to get healthy essentially vegan or raw vegan is your goal.  

See when you need to lose weight doctors won’t tell you in order to fully get off your medicine, reverse and eliminate and diseases you may have you need to pretty much unlearn the standard American diet. Why? Because there is simply no money in healthy people. Why do y’all think even on tv they always do combinations of unhealthy food, vaccines, the flu shot, and commercials of cancer centers? It’s all programming which is why I no longer watch tv. In order to unlearn what you’ve been programmed to see you need to step away from the tv and at times social media.  

Now considering how long this blog will get I’ll probably end up making a part two, to this but this is just the basis of the irony in cancer walks and donation. I truly hope you all were able to take something from this blog and take the first step to really being an advocate in your health. I know from experience it won’t be easy but self love never is.

Triggered

One thing that I’ve learned is, everything that other people do isn’t always directed towards you. So don’t take everything so damn personal. Now that’s easier said than done because, when you’re going through shit everything triggers you. Even when you’re not everything can rub you in a wrong way. A lot of people in order to prevent them from thinking about it will suppress those emotions, or the memories, or a situation. Sometimes it’s not even so much that we do it, our brain will do it in that moment in time to protect us in a sense.  

I was just telling my mom yesterday “healing is fucking hard, it sucks, and it’s time consuming”. That’s why with anything you do it’s always good to try and take a step back and be aware of what you do or say and how it can affect someone. Sometimes that’s not always possible due to the circumstances we may be in at that moment in time. But always if you’re able be mindful of how you treat other people. You could either be playing a role in something that could potentially damage them and down the line have an effect on how they do things in life, or possibly trigger them.

Now, this isn’t to say that you have to walk on eggshells with everyone because, that’s the way society thinks now a days. You can’t say or do the wrong thing without offending someone. While there is some truth to this, I feel too it’s a cop out to be able to treat people like shit at times and label it as joking when the person gets upset or gets offended. This alone is why people have such a fucking hard time with ACCOUNTABILITY. It’s always easier to place blame on someone else for offending them, rather than accepting you were being a disrespectful asshole and didn’t think twice about what you were saying to them. People make it seem like thinking before you speak is such a hard thing to do or it’s a week long process that requires way too much effort. When in all actuality it takes a whole hell of a lot less time than you think.  

Even with all of that, it draws back to if you haven’t already you need to evaluate on why things other people are doing is triggering you. It’ll be times people aren’t doing something or saying something with malicious intent specifically to hurt you. It may just be you have some unresolved trauma you need to come to terms with and work on. As I tell people all the time healing is easier said than done. You’re constantly having to hold yourself accountable, analyzing things that you do, revisiting painful moments in your life that you tried to hard to bury. The list goes on. But, using this as an example. Water also in terms of tarot cards is a symbol of our emotions, feelings, and our heart. Also, when water is in a place it shouldn’t be or stagnant so to speak it collects and picks up things that it shouldn’t and it stays there until it’s poured out or removed from the environment causing this. It’s the same with you, when you’re okay with being stagnant everything will seem like it’s piling up all at once and instead of changing your behavior or taking a look around or within to see why this is you use things to suppress it. Such as weed, alcohol, pills, other people, sex, hobbies, eating when you’re not hungry. Now this isn’t to make you feel like you’re being judged. But, it is to make you think are you doing these things because, you simply enjoy them. Or has it become out of habit and you’ve labeled them as things you like doing just because. That’s always the hardest part, having to come to terms with things that may also be considered a trigger. Then, from that point forward it causes you to be more aware of your emotions and how exactly it is that you react to something or the emotions that surface when someone triggers you. Now, I’m not saying you gotta face all your triggers in one day, but next time you notice yourself getting angry, sad, or reacting to something take a step back and ask yourself why?

So Is It Black Magic…?

I get this from people often whenever I talk about Tarot cards, Magic, the word Bruja, or anything related to tarot. Most people that I’ve asked if they ever had a reading and they say no or ask if anything bad is going to happen from the reading that they’ll receive or they will ask about references to the ouija board. Or I’ll hear from some they don’t want their future predicted. Although the gifts fall under the same category tarot readings and psychic readings are on different “magical” spectrums.

Then in terms of us being “black” magic, no magic is bad unless the intent behind it is bad. Even then that doesn’t always make it bad it just depends on the situation. Now too that goes to say if you’ve been hexed. That’s simply a witch, bruja, or whatever term you choose to use taking karma into her own hands when wrong is done onto her. Now that is not to say all people who practice magic and energy work do this, but it also doesn’t constitute as being considered black magic.

For me personally I don’t have the energy to hex, put people in a jar (form of hexing), or any of those things. I let karma and the universe do the dirty work for me. If someone has wronged me I know for every action good or bad there is a reaction to follow whether it be good or bad. Energy is like a boomerang, no matter what you put out it’s always bound to come back on you.

Now that I’ve cleared the air on that let’s talk about different types of energy work and magic that can be done and that you may not even realize you do.

The first of course being tarot. Tarot readings are something in terms of divination were deprived from the Egyptian priests, but the designs to my knowledge were created by Europeans. Although it being later found it started in Egypt. With tarot readings you can have them done in person or distant sessions. Me personally I do more distant sessions rather than in person. I can’t speak for all readers but I speak directly to your spirit and allow the energy from that to flow into my deck and show me what it is you need to do or guidance in your path. A lot of people will ask if the cards will predict your future but, in my encounter with other people’s spirits they generally aren’t interested in telling your future because, your spirit knows you better than anyone and knows there is always the possibility of you altering that. Even if it’s not intentional we have free will whether it be consciously or subconsciously. What I do is help to provide clarity to situations you feel stuck with, guidance, and when necessary provide closure. Now if you choose to just let life play out that’s perfectly fine, not everyone is or will be open to Tarot. But, that doesn’t mean because, you have a preconceived notion about something you refuse to look into the history of, doesn’t mean you should judge or shame those who want to take part in it.

Nice Guys Don’t Always Finish Last

Y’all ever have a moment where you have a guy you’re friends with for so long and dating might have been a thought, but you never took it further? Or you guys were friends and they paid for things for you, got you out the house, and just gave you a nice little surprise treat? Only for you to find out it was only for them to pretty much “buy” their way into your pants or them buying you over period?

See this situation alone is why women don’t give men the time of day as friends, we don’t want to hug you, give you our number none of it. It’s not that we’re acting stuck up or we’re better than you. We’re just doing what necessary to keep peace in our lives and keep a guard up. But, this kind draws back to the last blog I wrote about a woman’s no not meaning yes. You can’t always try to push your way through a woman’s boundaries and expect that she’ll get tired of you trying and give you a chance. Or more so trying to force something you feel is there when in all actuality the feelings isn’t mutual at all. It’s just a one sided situation. 

A friend of mines was telling me a story about how a guy she’s really good friends with took to her and just how much they had in common. Well over time he was doing things for her, coming to see her at lunch, taking her out to lunch, all that stuff. Then during that time she felt compelled to distance herself from him. I didn’t really understand at that time and figured it might’ve been a non specific reason. So fast forward to the next couple weeks, he’s taking her out to gun ranges, then, they went out to a float spa and out to eat. Prior to going out to eat he pretty much tried to push himself into her. Not so much in a physical sense but touching her leg, leaning into her all that bullshit. Mind you this is an issue they’ve dealt with prior with him feeling it was okay to kiss her (and he’s married). She set her boundaries and he wasn’t okay which then would explain the distance. Then going back to now she sternly tells him not to do that shit again because it makes her very uncomfortable. He took offense to this and said “I did all this for you taking you out to eat, taking you to the float spa and I can’t get x y and z???”. That in itself triggered her because at this rate it’s feeling like it could lead to rape or her being sexually assaulted. So from that point on she created even further distance than what was created the first time.  

In instances like this men can’t separate their ego from what’s right. Even after her setting boundaries he still took it upon himself to go after what he wanted. The problem with this is you can’t do shit like this to women. 1. Because you never know if they could’ve been raped, molested, sexually assaulted in the past or whatever. 2. When a woman states what is and isn’t comfortable for her you don’t GET to decide if she’s playing hard to get 3. ESPECIALLY if you are married in a relationship whatever it is the case may be. You don’t use a woman as an escape plan for an issue you’re not ready to deal with.  

That alone brings me to my own story, there was this guy I was friends with on and off for about 10 years. We “talked” or dated for a very short while but down the line I figured it would be best we stayed friends because I genuinely valued out friendship. So moving isn’t a few years ago he told me he wanted to give us a chance and actually date again. I explained to him I’m at a point in my life my only focus is my son, healing, and school. So it wasn’t the right time. If he was willing to wait for me great if not ain’t shit I can do about that. This didn’t set right with I’m and he pretty much said fuck everything I just said, he’s been waiting all these years and this that and the third. But, I’m like first of all I never asked you to wait for shit. I established YEARS ago it would be best that we just be friends soooo I’m not sure what you were waiting on. Yeah at one point he did explain how it would be amazing if he lost his virginity to me, but I told him that’s something sacred and beautiful about you. Not many men remain virgins this long so I’d rather he give it to someone who deserves it. Fast forward to this year. We got back in contact after him completely dismissing me when I told him I needed to focus on myself. We caught up filled each other on what was going on in our lives and all that. I was explaining about some guys I had been dealing with where I live and giving him the run down. So he asks “when are you coming back to visit?”, I tell him it may not be until August around when school starts back depends how my money is looking (also to add I was talking to someone during the time). So I explained that and he said we should hook up when you come. Now, in my mind I’m like yeah we can meet up that’s cool. But, what he really meant was to have sex. I’m like no because that would be disrespectful to the dude I’m dealing with and I don’t view you in that way. Nor am I okay with having more than one sexual partner. He goes on to say how it’s not fair and he’s been good to me all these years and he deserves to be able to have sex with me. Wait a muthafuckng minute…you deserve? Let me run that back just in case y’all ain’t here me YOU DESERVE? I must’ve snapped the fuck off. Like first off if I tell you I’m dealing with somebody no the fuck I am not about to have sex with you, second for you to say you’ve been good to me? So what you’re telling me is, all those things you did as a friend was pretty much for a end goal for you? You know what I’m cool. I won’t even mention when I am down there to visit because you’ve crossed the line. 

After that situation I haven’t and don’t plan on speaking to him ever again. He still checks my social media but other than that no. I laid down my ground rules, set my boundaries and he still felt he could still push them to get his way. This alone is why me personally why I don’t give men the time of day, I don’t entertain them, I don’t entertain any free meals or none of that stuff. Just off the strength you NEVER know what HIS intentions are or what he could do to you.  

Now men and/or women I hope you were able to take something from reading this and realizing just because he’s a nice guy or you’re a nice guy, doesn’t mean you will always Finish Last. Sometimes you just gotta accept shit for what it is and move the fuck on. Now if you were the woman or the man in this story evaluate the role you’ve played in peoples lives and how you felt this affected you. Or hell if you’re the guy you need to take a step back and realize what was it, or who was it that told you if you keep trying you’ll get what you want because, from my friend and I’s experience this isn’t the way to go about it. No if you felt this was you in these stories go ahead and share it. If not and you know someone else could use it, share it with them……

Home Ain’t Always Where The Heart is

I’ve seen too often parents will say “oh I’m doing it for the kids” or “I’m staying for the kids”. While that may be well and true what kind of example are you setting by staying in a toxic relationship? No matter what you say, kids go off of actions. You can tell a child don’t be like me everyday, but if you’re not leading by example that won’t always be the case.

You see too often people are so concerned with wanting to keep up a certain family image, wanting to appear happy, wanting everyone to think their home is happy while suffering in that same home.

As a parent I get it, no parents wants to see their child not be able to have both parents in the home. Having to choose who’s parents home they wanna go to for holidays, birthdays, all of that. But their comes a time as a parent you have to put your happiness first and for lack of a better word say “fuck them kids”. Now don’t take this seriously y’all. I say that to say, how the fuck do you expect your children to be happy if you aren’t happy??? How do you expect to model a happy home, marriage, self love to your children if you are unable to practice that. Regardless to what you allow children to SEE they are beings of energy before anything. What you don’t always say they themselves can FEEL. Especially when an argument taken place that energy still lingers.

Being a single mom I had to make a very hard decision that my son wasn’t going to be able to have that standard picture perfect family I’d dreamt of. But you wanna know what else I told myself? It will be okay. I had to tell myself although I am not able to go on with the family I started I can always find someone else. Every day I had to say “sometimes you won’t end with the ones you started with” and that is OKAY.

One thing I do know is of importance is making sure you and that  person are mentally, emotionally, and financially stable equally to want to make a child together. Just off the strength every child deserves to have both mommy and daddy. Now that’s not to say even if you have all this that things won’t still end up going south. But it’s always good to have that foundation, that way you’re off to a good start.

All in all what I want you to take from this is don’t allow your children to suffer for you own selfishness. Sometimes the best thing you can do is leave so your children can see you happy. Will there be ups and downs to them not seeing mommy and daddy together everyday? Of course. Will they eventually get through it by you also being compassionate and understanding this is a transition for them? Most definitely. But always remember your children’s happiness starts with you being happy…..

She’s Not a Bitch, She Just Has Boundaries 🤷🏾‍♀️

A couple weeks ago I was in deep thought, which is normal for me most of the time. Or pretty much all the time lol. I have a friend who was venting to me about her job and saying how much she can’t stand her boss because she has this rule and that rule, and so many things she just doesn’t agree with. I sat and thought about that venting session for days and thought about how there are so many times there was shit other people did that I didn’t agree with that made them come off rude or it made me feel some type of way towards them.

But, I had to tell myself everyone had their own set of rules in place or ways they want to run their business however they want to. What’s not okay is making a conscious choice to say fuck other peoples boundaries just because, you don’t agree with them.

This may sound hypocritical as fuck because, I just recently did this. I had a friend I grew close with and it was a specific point in time I wanted to really share a point in my life I’m at right now and just my happiness and I wanted to share that with her and at that time her response as to why she didn’t want to hear it sounded shallow as fuck to me. I began placing blame on her saying that’s not fair how she didn’t wanna listen to me and blah blah blah. When she needed me I was here to listen. Then a voice in me was like but that was your choice….I’m like wait hold up what? What you mean? It said again, she didn’t ask you to sit and listen to those things, that was something you chose to do. Being my stubborn self I was like but this is what other people do with their friends and they….and the voice says again, but that’s them. Those are THEIR friendships. You cannot base what you feel someone else’s boundaries should be like off someone else’s relationship because, no two peoples limits are the same.

Now, will you always agree with a line that is drawn? No not at all, will you have to either shut the fuck up and walk away. Or shut the fuck up and honor the fact no I don’t agree with the line you’ve drawn but I respect that. In my spiritual journey that was by far one of the hardest pills I had to swallow.

Especially when you know that person already has an issue with setting their boundaries and limits, it triggered you to know that was also applicable to you. So now I’m sitting here like damn I feel like a shitty friend. All because I couldn’t respect what she had did and I felt I wasn’t being supported as a friend.

Like for weeks, I was trying to justify not speaking to her and just I would not budge on where I stood until that voice spoke to me. It made me realize just because, I personally struggle with setting boundaries when it comes to intimate relationships especially with friendships, doesn’t mean those around me have no right to set their own. So I had to ask myself did that make me angry with her not listening to what I said, or did her saying that trigger me because, I don’t have the balls when necessary to set my limits.

Growing up learning how to be a friend, I was always taught you always gotta be there for your friends. You gotta listen to every vent session they have because, that’s what being a friend was about. Just all these false expectations of what someone else should be doing. Just to get hit by reality and realize. No. None of that shit is necessary. If someone can not handle dealing with something or hearing a story because it triggers them it’s not your job to say, well if you were my friend you should listen to this, or you should do xy and z for me.

My biggest lesson I recently had to learn, not just with how I personally treat people but when rules are established. Baby girl everybody ain’t built like you. How you move and operate ain’t never gone be the same as the next person. Whether it be a friendship, relationship, business partnership none of that. We all have our own traumas, we all have gone through shit that makes us draw the line where we feel necessary. With that comes seeing not everyone will see eye to eye with it. Nor will they always agree or be okay. But, the point in the matter is if you genuinely love them you gotta honor that. You not gone like everything that’s set in place but you gotta follow it unless instructed to do other wise.

Next time a friend states something that bothers you, ask yourself why does it bother me? Is it because I don’t agree? Or is it because it could possibly be a trigger?…….
