She obtained a bachelor's degree at Fort Valley State in Middle Grades Education and another at Middle Georgia State University. However, she got a master's at the online school Walden University.

  Hello there! It's been almost three months since I posted anything on this blog!  I was at my lowest point since 2017. In my opinion, it has nothing to do with the pandemic.  Atlanta's social life is erratic and odd. I made a big step forward. I happened to have a whole vision board laid out for that year!! My vision board consisted of staying fit, cooking, mindful development, and creating relationships. Making connections and establishing friendships is my most important goal. Last year, I spent 65% of my time creating social connections.  Church-related and Christian-centered young adult groups were prevalent.  Now, this is something that I should have done better in 2021.  By that, I mean leaving the mold of a community that is no longer part of my identity. When it came to my first step of establishing this form of a relationship. I found myself reverting to the mold. It was not for validation, it was to fulfill my satisfaction and make ...

                      I am just sitting in my bedroom,  many times I don't know what I'm doing. I am the type to know what I'm looking for and what I want.  Those are the thoughts going through my brain writing this. I am sure you can relate to it. When you're getting close to finding the right guy, it's never close enough. Maybe it's just overthinking , now it feels like going for a shot. I am reflecting back on my childhood and my interpersonal relationships.  There are four types of relationships: Family relationships, Friendships, Acquaintanceships and Romantic relationships . .  Romantic relationships of any kind are more unrefined compared to the other following relationships.  It's the hardest to find yet the most heart and fulfilling completed one.  Late comedian Rodney Dangerfield once joked, "a lot of people go to a psychiatrist  , cause they never got enough love as a kid . " I think...

  " I can accept failure, everyone fails at something. I can't accept not trying." - Michael Jordan Through dating apps or just simply an ordinary day, there are many different avenues you took to find that romantic partner spontaneously or with intention.  There are circumstances that can make this process chaotic, oblivion as a first time dating or just change in your dating lifestyle amidst the pandemic. As hopeless romantic, we ask ourselves, “Am I holding the right conversation, why am I stuck after a two month talking stage?” These are excellent questions to ask yourself, these are also questions that have made you feel self doubts at the dating game. Doubt does not mean failure. Margielyn Didal , Filipina skateboarder and Olympian said it best, “ Don’t be afraid to fall or fail” You are the player, your feelings are your teammate. That is why accepting the  outcome is leading you towards the ...

  "When was your last relationship, when was your first kiss? " These two questions are the most common dating questions, the thing about these question is they do not go back to the beginning.  Before, we all ask these questions, the answers started with an experience from dating.  We never ask "what  emotions and feelings/impressions and doubts did you went through walking into  dating, dating culture or atmosphere. " This question is the most rarest and not too many of us will think about it. It is important.  Firstly,  this rhetorical question is being open minded to anyone with little to no experience  plus more experience.  You could have an idea  or just be  unsure.   Secondly, its relatable and foreshadows of "Hey, I was at this place, I did not where to begin, I felt lost, I felt confident,etc."  Regardless of age, it took learning, searching and exploration, starting somewhere.  This question enlud...
