I think I will go with a social media fast for Lent. There’s 44 days between Ash Wednesday and Good Friday this year, that’s enough time to accomplish quite a bit with my refocused time.
Actually, I think I’m gonna get off social media for a little bit…
I’m tired at a soul level
I need a vacation.
Yeah, I was in all AP classes across the board. That’s how I sailed through UAB. I came in with so much course credit I took an entire year of electives
Lmao stop calling it that. And maybe in regular classes? I took AP classes and it was more Shakespeare than anything.
Never had to read The Iliad and The Odyssey in school, so I might read those at some point.
Books I’ve read so far this year:
—Tell Me Lies by Carola Lovering
—Sugar by Bernice L. McFadden
—This Bitter Earth by Bernice L. McFadden
—Groove by Bernice L. McFadden
—Fever by Bernice L. McFadden
Books up next:
—Beloved by Toni Morrison
—The Girls Who Grew Big by Leila Mottley
And I love being able to revisit a thought
I have been waiting on drafts! Sometimes you need to get some shit off, but that’s not the time you want to get it off.
Finally.
I've officially launched my #Substack. Expect culture, social media, ideas, and my POV on the advertising/ marketing world. Like many of you, I want things to be so much better than they are. I believe in leading by example. This is where that happens.
This is "The Work"
“You don’t need to be good. You need to be whole.”
It’s been a long time since Ring cameras were purely marketed as a security camera. That alone should tell you all you need to know about that latest feature.
Having an iPhone is very different from being able to tap into your neighbors security camera to search for a targeted object/person. Nah.
People don’t really value interpersonal connection. Not really. Not enough.
Oh, my favorite topic to complain about… y’all’s entitlement to and desire to control other people’s close friends. If you want to see sexual content there’s plenty of platforms for that. It is NOT a requirement for people’s close friends posts to be spicy and you are VERY weird for thinking so.
I barely watched the superbowl, so I’m just seeing that commercial. That is very crazy.
Oh no. This will be used terribly.

I’ll be finished reading my current book in a couple days. Gonna need something else to read afterwards
I was bound to live far from my parents because I was very adamant about getting away from Atlanta and small cities aren’t ideal for me

Thank you!

“Don’t protect other people from knowing they’ve hurt you.”
If you can’t be real with yourself, you can’t be real with nobody
I always have a plan
Keeping up with the art of writing was a primary motivation in starting my blog
I appreciate the art of language
