When Beyonce dropped her latest album, I listened to it on my way to work. I wasn't 100% comfortable but I ignored the feeling. I was just being dramatic and "too Christian". I saw the think pieces about the song 'Church Girl' and rolled my eyes. I thought people were just being dramatic because it… Continue reading why I have stopped supporting Beyoncé

let’s talk about masturbation
What a delicate post to end the month of love with, am I right? Before we dive in, a few housekeeping items. On 12 February 2023 ... I WAS BAPTIZED!! I am sometimes still in shock that I chose to publicly show my love and belief in Christ. I'm super excited to see what happens… Continue reading let’s talk about masturbation
being grateful when it is hard
The day I moved into my new apartment was a little stressful. I drove to the new place with a U-Haul full of my life, excited about this cute yellow door that God opened for me. After literal hours of unpacking and arranging things, I went to drop off the U-Haul. My frat brothers followed… Continue reading being grateful when it is hard
I saw a victory
Trigger Warning: Suicidal Ideation In August of 2019, I wanted to die. I just couldn’t go on anymore. I locked myself in the bathroom and stared at myself in the mirror. Curious about what my parents would find in the morning. Curious about the conversation they’d have with my sisters and brother. Curious about how… Continue reading I saw a victory
is Egypt still in you?
So I have this thing that I do and before I share it, yes I know it’s not a good thing at all. So if a situation comes up where I have an opportunity to sin, I’ll tell God “oh this is the last time” and just … sin. And frankly it’s a double whammy… Continue reading is Egypt still in you?
letting go of my idols
I originally started this post in February of 2020, right when Love Is Blind first aired. Then I let it sit in my drafts for two years because I was never really sure how to formulate my thoughts. Unless you're like me and avoided social media or Netflix for the past few weeks (or in… Continue reading letting go of my idols
clearing out the house
Like most of my posts, I’m admitting a lot of things. This is actually one of the hardest posts I've written in a while because I'm purging some deeply internalized things. I recently found out that another friend is moving into a stage of life that I so desperately desire. I'm actually so happy for… Continue reading clearing out the house
like a child
I love kids. I mean, I love kids. My goal in life is to be a stay-at-home wife and mother who manages her successful online business. If you know anything about kids, especially toddlers, you know that silence is not golden. Silence usually means that they are doing something they shouldn't be doing. There are… Continue reading like a child
transparency time Tuesday
It probably has everything to do with the way I grew up, but I feel like I am a bother to literally everyone. As I age, I move further away from the unkind words and actions of bullies and family, but the pain that birthed hesitation never left. I am genuinely fearful, at all times,… Continue reading transparency time Tuesday
how to be friends with a survivor
This post mentions sexual assault and domestic violence. Hi everyone! As always, thanks for coming back. I’m honestly just going to jump right in. I saw an acquaintance recently and while we were catching up, they reached out and touched me without giving me a heads up. Now, I’ve kind of always hated being touched… Continue reading how to be friends with a survivor
