"Days where you feel ugly inside and out. Days where your light is dim. Days where your energy is so low that it takes everything in you to fulfill basic needs." I needed to hear this, a reminder that it's perfectly fine to feel these things. As another black girl with anxiety from Detroit, I love your posts! <3

You’re from Detroit too?! Hey family! 😂

Thank you so much for stopping by. I’m glad that resonated for you. I wrote that one day because I was so overwhelmed with overstimulation… and writing often helps me put things in perspective.

A few friends are thinking about putting together writer meetups so I’ll be sure to keep you posted (if you’re interested, no pressure!).

No problem, thank you for writing it! And hey! It's so nice to find another Detroiter here, I feel like we're a rare breed (compared to all the writers from LA and NY) lol. I can't promise I'd be able to attend, but of course I'd definitely be interested. ❤️

Love this, the last couple of weeks have been utterly jarring/tiring and I'm ready to rest now

I'm right there with you!

As we speak, I'm taking a break from grocery shopping and house cleaning.

The wine is chilling and I plan to do nothing but touch grass and eat well this holiday weekend.

I hope you get to do the same!

I'm glad you could feel the vibes in the post.

It definitely was a WEEK... and I just could not focus... so I just let my ADHD do it's thang with this post and fixed whatever was mistyped later. I'm learning that sometimes you just have go with the flow and adjust it later.

I hope that you get to enjoy the sunshine PLUS celebrate the launch of your book! You're an entire PUBLISHED AUTHOR! Congratulations again and thank you so much for reading!

The realness in this comment! I switched my penjamin out for something that will help me focus and I am happy to report the end of the week was much more productive than the start.

I appreciate you so much for celebrating me and this milestone in my life. It really means a lot! Cheers to us learning and discovering more about ourselves this week! And let’s see how next week flows for us!

I recently bought A Love Song for Ricki Wilde. You giving it a 10/10 makes me even more excited to read it. I'm reading 3 other books right now though, so it's going to be a while before I open it up lol

Three books? lol I’m trying to build myself back up to that 😭

But I really did enjoy A Love Song For Ricki Wilde - it was cute and unique (to me anyways - I’m just getting back into my kindle era)

One book is an audiobook which makes “reading” 3 a bit easier but also it takes me longer to read books now because I have so many distractions 😅

I have yet to try an audiobook - so I may try this soon!
