My Search for a Purpose

Greetings. I know that this blog post was made two weeks after it was supposed be out, but yknow life happens sometimes. I was busy trying to get ready for graduation and survive the end of my senior year and also I've felt super not the best for a while. Originally I was going to have this blog post be "Jamal" the conclusion to my name exploration series, a part of my exploration of self series. My first name means beautiful or handsome... I'm not feeling very beautiful right now, so I'm going to hold off on it for after I'm officially done with school. It will probably end up being my June blog post. I have a post planned for the end of May and it makes more sense to release that instead of "Jamal" at that point. I'll save my life update for then, one because I know this post is going to be particularly long, and two, because I don't have the capacity right now to think about all that I did in April. This post is called "Dear Whi...

Hello and Welcome back to your regularly scheduled blog post by none other than Jamal Davis Neal, Jr. :) (If you missed my last post,  my brain is a clementine , feel free to read it to see what was going on in my brain on March 6th!) My friends Mikasi, Joyce, Liz, RiRi, and I at the Ben & Jerry's Factory Also- sorry that this post is a week and change late. You know what they say! Depression doesn't work on your time, just whenever it wants to rear itself :) My mental and emotional capacity has been lacking lately and I'm just generally not as enthused or emotionally invested in much right now at all. I'm exhausted and not sure what will aid in a healing process that I need. We shalllll see! Also just a warning that this post is longer than usual. I'm covering a whole history of my religious journey and it takes more energy, time, and material than I've previously presented in blog posts before. Anyways, per usual- an update on this past month of my ...

Hello! Welcome to your monthly-scheduled blog post from none other than yours truly! February has not been particularly kind for me and my mental health, but it's okay because it's almost over! (And there's a new Jonas Brothers song to look out for at the end of it!) Me, wearing makeup because I'm a Boss Ass Bitch & I look Gr8 Anyway, as is the theme for all of my blogposts, a recap of events that have happened in my life: At the beginning of the month, the Production team for UPB, Alexa, and I got together to create a Production-Themed Pub Quiz! It was a lot of fun working with them to do this and I think they had a lot of fun coming up with questions. Pub Quiz? Pub Quiz. It didn't seem like the audience enjoyed their questions, but y'know I'm getting mighty fed-up of Pub Quiz hecklers  That week was continued with a Dinner & Dialogue on the 7th, with the overall theme for the year being Joy- "the happiness that does not depend on w...

The month seems to have flown by and gone slow at the same time! It's also my grandmother, Ivy Ruth Idlebird Williams' 74th Birthday! Isn't that wild?? Whatta blessing to have 74 years worth of Ivy Williams on this earth. <3 It's ALSO been a year since I started my LEMONADE series of blog posts!! Wow!
