Tired But Faithful

I’m tired. I’m tired of feeling unsafe. I’m tired of being angry. I’m tired of people plotting and hurting my people. I’m tired of hashtags, videos, violence. I’m tired of being bothered.

I’m tired of abuses of power. I’m tired of being tired. What did we do? Why are people so threatened?

These stories, this narrative, is old. It’s tired. But you know the one thing that gets me through…

All About Love

Today is Valentine’s Day, but for me it is also something else. It’s Self Love Day.

There is such a stigma around this day.

Last year, I was sad and bitter about not having anyone.

This year, I am walking on air.

Today is all about happiness and love.

I’m single so I decided to give love to myself.

This entire day is dedicated to taking care of and loving myself on my terms.

So far, so good.

Lose Control

This tweet, this tweet, this tweet.

This was my plight for 3 years.

I wanted people to ask my side instead of assuming.

I wanted people to listen to me.

I wanted to explain.

I had to learn the hard way, through much hurt and tears, that people won’t.

People want to know what THEY want to know.

The likelihood that someone will give a damn can be slim to none, in certain situations.

I’m good for…

The Styling Blues

Sometimes, I don’t think I’m worthy.

Not enough people say that so I am.

I am admitting that I doubt myself.

I doubt my abilities as a stylist to bring something to the table that other people don’t bring.

Why?

I watch stylists and fashion enthusiasts on a daily basis. I don’t know anyone personally who loves style the way I do. Social media is my community, my support group, but also a pain in…

New Year, Learning Me

Happy First Sunday of the year!

This year began with a bang.

I was faced with one of my biggest demons, and for the first time I was ready to receive the lessons.

I had a lesson in self worth.

My second, third, and fourth lessons for the year were letting go, self control, and standing my ground.

Lawd was I tested. Through the grace of God, I passed.

All kinds of things were thrown my way and the…

Forgiving Myself

I forgive you, Dezzie.

I forgive you for not speaking up sooner.

I forgive you for allowing your trauma to dictate your life.

I forgive you for giving your power away.

I forgive you for handling things poorly.

I forgive you for wasting your time.

I forgive you for not taking care of yourself.

I forgive you for self destructing.

I forgive you for improperly teaching people how to treat you.

I…

My Year in a Nutshell

There are 8 days left in this year.

I figured I would resurface for a sec, bring y’all a little message.

This year was all about personal growth.

Apologies, releasing people, freeing myself, learning, etc.

Earlier in the month, I was feeling as though I had not accomplished anything, which wasn’t true.

In the beginning of the year, I stepped out on faith and left my job without having another on…

On the Road Again

These last couple of weeks have been a doozy. Plantar fasciitis, a cold, monthly visitor, forced removal.

Since June, I’ve been struggling emotionally. Up and down. Happy, sad, angry. Those are the emotions that stood out. I have been everywhere and back again with them. I haven’t quite figured out why. I am aware that God is working on something big. He physically removed me from something that…

It’s a Birthday Thang

TO ME!

My 27th birthday was last week, and it wasn’t at all what I wanted.

Everything I didn’t want is exactly what happened.

I know why.

It was my opportunity to be as 27 as possible, but I was too busy being a hormonal brat.

Oh yea, did I mention PMS grabbed me by the throat and said, “You’re going to take these hormones.”

Whoosa.

I was stressed.

After all of the mini disappointments, I…

Everyone says love hurts, but that isn’t true. Loneliness hurts. Rejection hurts. Losing someone hurts. Envy hurts. Everyone gets these things confused with love, but in reality, love is the only thing in this world that covers up all pain and makes someone feel wonderful again. Love is the only thing in this world that does not hurt.

Walking into 27

I’ve been doing a lot of adulting.

A lot of self work. A lot of self love.

I’m not the happiest, but I’m not depressed either.

I’m pushing through.

My birthday is in three days, and I want some surprises.

When I say surprises, I mean things that I would actually be happy about.

I’m putting it out there because no one is going to read my mind, and at least I know I said something.

The biggest…

The Wonderful Uncomfortability of June

I have been finding difficulty in choosing a path.

I love styling, but I don’t want to study fashion.

Does that make sense? (Legitimate question)

When I say this I mean I don’t want to follow what’s trending. I want to refresh myself on the basics and move from there. Why can’t I? Are there rules? If there are, do I have to follow them?

I want to say no to that last question. I feel a strong no.

What Might Have You Done Differently?

I would have told her myself. I would have believed in myself. I wouldn’t have authorized the surgery. I would have been at her house when she got sick. I would have spoken up. I wouldn’t have listened to him. I wouldn’t have let the conversation go that way. I wouldn’t have been so insecure. I wouldn’t have told people about the baby. I wouldn’t have let the relationship continue. I wouldn’t…

No Limit Soldier

I began to read the preface to Michelle Obama’s book, Becoming Michelle, and I had to stop to write this post.

She mentioned being asked as a child, “What do you want to be when you grow up?”

I remember being asked that question.

I remember asking myself that question.

Because of societal norms, that question makes career choices finite.

Why are children asked what they want to be when they grow…

Grow On

“I been gone for a minute, now I’m back at the jump off…”

Y’all know I take these hiatuses, but I always return.

I have been having so much fun.

I haven’t been doing what others would define as “big” and “eventful”, but it is for me.

I’ve been growing and living life on my terms.

It has been amazing.

I remember last year someone I used to know called me weak.

I held on to that for a long time.

I…

What Was Dezzie Doing?

I feel like I have been doing so much lately and not keeping up with any of it.

A couple of weeks ago, I began watching Marvel movies that lead up to “Avengers: End Game”.

As I have been encouraged to watch the movies before, I needed to do it when I was ready.

So far so good.

15 down, 6 to go.

Actually, it’s more like 4 because I’ve already seen “Black Panther” and “Ant-Man and the Wasp”.
