I realized that this post was going to be unhealthy, unnecessary, and very triggering. So I decided not to do it...

Hello and welcome to a new blog post by yours truly. I'm sorry this blog post is 2 weeks late, but I promise there is a reason for that that I will address for most of this blog post. First- A Life Update: My residents have been fine, but haven't really been coming to my events so y'know RA life isn't too terrible ;) UPB is going well! I love my position and I love the people that I work with so much. I'm so glad they're all in my life and I can't wait to get to know them better as the year goes on Retreat made me so happy and so excited The UPBeans of Color hangout made me very happy and excited as well I went home last weekend and honestly it was the best thing that I needed for my mental health. I got to get ahead on homework, I got to spend time with some good friends, and I got to enjoy lots of time with my little cousins, which I'm appreciating more and more as I, and they, get older. I'm happy to be developing serious relation...

Red: Life

January 31, 2020

Hello and Welcome back to my Blog! I hope everyone's 2020s are off to a great start. Before we dive into what this new series of blog posts is going to involve, I'd like to offer my usual overview of the past month: January I kicked off the new decade surrounded by love! Thank you to Liz J., Liz B., Mikey, and Rachel for being wonderful, supportive beings. Thank you for wanting me to be in your lives in this new decade. Thank you for being there for me. I love you so very much and am so thankful to have y'all in my life. The next day was my mom's birthday! We celebrated by going to Red36 for the first time and downing a couple dozen oysters between the two of us. I love sharing space, energy, and food with my mom and I'm glad that we were able to do that together. I drove back to Great Oaks the night of the 2nd back to our "new" apartments. There was debris everywhere which was not great to return to, but y'know- if every porkchop were pe...

Needs vs. Wants

February 14, 2016

Happy Saturday!... not really Also... Happy President's Day Weekend! So this post might be a pretty obvious post at first, but I still hope that you'll get a message out of it anyway. Now I know this message is late and that's mainly because I can never get my shit together in time for past Jamal to be happy with present Jamal. But, you know what? That's okay. This blog is meant to be a comfortable environment for me; a place where I can escape when all the stresses of the world are weighing down on my shoulders. And sometimes that's 2:30 in the morning after you already missed your personal deadline for a post. Yeah... that's my life right now. Just warning you that the style near the end of this post is symbolic. Anyway. Needs vs. Wants. What exactly does that mean? The first time I thought of writing this post, I was actually in a Skype call with one of my anchors... my person, actually, that went from about 4 to 7 in the morning on a Saturda...
