The Day Before the Holiday
Tomorrow is the 4th of July and as a child, it would mean good times. My multigenerational family would gather together to celebrate and I would play with my cousins and friends until everyone went home. I can still remember the smell of the barbecue grill my Aunt Maggie would set up at 6am. I…

The Promise
As previously mentioned, I had an epiphany that I would be 55 years old next year, and just a few minutes ago, I had another one. Neither one of my brothers made it to old age. They were ages 34 and 63 years old when they died, and that’s so sad. If I was to…

The Big 55
Earlier this morning, I was in the bathroom doing what humans do, and it occurred to me that I will be 55 years old next year. When I say it felt like I was slapped in the face with a sock full of bricks with that knowledge, it surely did. 55 years on this planet…

The Art of Hushing
In 2024, let’s put an end to offering unsolicited advice to those who didn’t ask you shit and learning the art of shutting the fuck up. For some reason, there are people in the world who really believe that they have been anointed by a higher power and think they have the right to tell…

My Own Existential Crisis
I recently figured out that I’ve been having an existential crisis since 2018 when my cousin died and since she passed away, I’ve lost several more family members and friends. It’s like death has been holding me in a tight clutch. To the point where I think about death entirely too much. Things that I…

The Change of Life or Menopause
I’m 52 years old and I’m currently going through that dreaded period in a woman’s life: menopause and it’s a motherfucker. It’s filled with a roller coaster of emotions, trials, and challenges. First, let’s talk about these stanking ass hot flashes. Hot flashes can be defined as periods in which your body feels like it’s…
