My sister felt that it would be a good idea to have a date night for my parents. Clearly, I wasn’t on board but she ran the plan by me and I was like, ok whatever. What I didn’t realize was the impact that this night would have on my parents. So the day comes, around 5 o’clock I decide I’m starving so I’m going … Continue reading A Quarantined Date Night
I watched the Red Table Talk interview between Jada and Will Smith regarding Jada’s relationship with August. Regardless of what any of us think, the only opinions matter are those of the ones involved. However, I will say that I don’t think that Will is as over the situation as he claims. Yes it was her transgression but it affected him just as much even … Continue reading Finding Your Own Love

Someone had come to me recently and had asked “how did you know … Continue reading What are we?
It was a Sunday night in late November, early December, about 10 p.m. when I first saw him. I don’t remember what I was wearing but I was definitely not dressed to my best potential. However I recall, he was wearing dark grey sweatpants with a red hoodie and a hat … Now that I think about it, I think I had on sweatpants and … Continue reading How I met my boyfriend
So I’ve been single for about 3 years now and honestly it’s been on purpose. Much as it pains me to admit it, my parents were right I was jumping from relationship to relationship. The issue was, I didn’t know who I was. With every relationship I was trying to fit this mold of who my partner thought I was or wanted me to be. … Continue reading Journey to Love

To attracting a woman is simple. It’s not about how good you look or how fine you smell, though that does help. In reality, every woman wants the same thing: to be appreciated. Appreciated in the sense that: you value her opinion, you respect her views, you see beyond her body. You listen and follow through.
