Well S***, What Are Y'all Doing?

Heyyyyyyyy!

What's going on folks? Long time, no hear from - I know I've been AWAL, but a lot has been going on. 

I essentially just finished my first semester of grad school, and it went about how you would expect. I feel like I just got jumped by a bunch of kangaroos on steroids - but I made it with all A's so that's good! It has been a very stressful experience moving to Maryland from Rhode Island - and it is only about 5 months in the making of my life here. Currently, I would not say that I am particularly enjoying my MD experience - but I will make due until I obtain my degree. 

I've met some pretty nice people in my cohort so far, but I still have not managed to go out much other than to school, or to babysit so that I can pay my rent. The job market is very difficult right now, even with a bachelors and a decorated resume. I've applied to just about anywhere that accepts my medical and clerical experience. I got a few interviews, but ultimately all went KAPUT!. I think at one point I even applied to Ross (not too much of a big shot to do retail again lol), and even they sent me a declination letter. Too overqualified, or something like that. 

Go figure. 

Anyway, enough about me - I want to hear from the few people who read my content. I know that a lot is happening in the world right now, and I would love some suggestions of what you guys want to discuss. Feel free to interact and leave a comment. Everybody needs somebody, you know? 

Be kind. Be caring. Be true. Talk to y'all soon!

A Life of Transitions!

Hey Divines, I hope your week has been treating you well! Recently, I find myself in the position of "transitioning" and moving into a new stage of my life. I have been accepted to a mastery program for Counseling Psychology at Bowie State University (AYE, AYE, AYE BOWIEEEEE!). I wanted to come on here and do a quick check in :) Long story short, I am moving! I currently live in Rhode Island, but I am moving to Maryland in a few days time. Needless to say there is a lot of anxiety that is coupled with this experience - but I believe that God has a *divine* way of increasing the values we already inherit. Ultimately, I wanted to write this post to welcome anyone else who may be going through a transition in life right now that is causing stress or anxiety. Just know... We will be okay. We are okay, and this time in life is a blessing. You are doing so well, and all of the things you have been wishing or praying for is soon to come! In closing, I would like to say a quick praye...

A Letter to Martin Scorsese

Letter to the DIRECTOR... Hey! Today is February 23rd, and I've been up all night. In the wee hours, I prayed and read my Bible, as it's believed that these times of the day or night are when God can speak more clearly to you due to the lack of daily obligations and distractions. Anyway, I'm about to try and update my car, even though I'm broke (as a joke ha!). So, I was going through my documents to make sure that I had my title readily available. While doing so, I found one of the papers I wrote during my time in undergrad. It was for an elective film class I took in the Fall of 2019 when I was still a freshman. It's funny because every now and then, I think about how fun that class was and how much it sparked my interest in cinema and writing about things that matter to me. At that time, I even considered trying to get into film school to learn more about the craft, but you know, practicality and life got in the way. Anyway, I read one of my papers, and it was ab...

I Launched a WordPress Website & Deleted It Within 3 Days

I Launched a WordPress Website & Deleted It Within 3 Days WordPress.com is Pissing On Our World: Hidden Costs, Frustrating Issues, and Lack of Support. Photo by  Fikret tozak  on  Unsplash On August 3rd, I created a WordPress website to drive traffic to my content. The content writing and freelance gurus tell us to do that, right? Those people are a conversation for another day, but the “I made $10,000 from my website in 6 months” headlines are provocative and get people interested. Besides the fact that I consider myself intelligent enough to know that all of that is nonsense, I wanted to conduct a test since that is the key to success for so many “pioneers” in the industry. I mapped out a plan: Create a homepage with a strong headline and call to action. Develop an “About Me” page that showcases my core values and personal journey. Create a “Contact” page. Showcase my blog and social media posts from different publications and media platforms. Easy enough? Not reall...
