Why I Stopped Blogging...And Why I Am Back

Wow...It has been such a long time since I've blogged.  I had a great momentum going and thoroughly enjoyed sharing a piece of me with a portion of the world.  I am anxious and excited to start back.  So many things have changed in my life since 2012.  I moved, got married, lost a job, quit a job, celebrated a milestone birthday, got healthy, got back in school (FINALLY), lost some loved ones, gained some new friends, and no, no babies yet (lets go on and get that out the way)! The real reason I stopped blogging is because I allowed someone else's opinions of my content to deter me from writing period.  I literally haven't written a thing.  Everything has been jumbled up in my brain.  Honestly, it's time to let it out before I explode.  Most people who know me personally, would probably wonder how I allowed a person to get to me like that.  I am here say even a person with the thickest of skins has a trigger.  Writing is mine (cue the line 'keep in mind I'm an artist and I'm sensitive about my shit' line from THE Erykah Badu song Tyrone).  As painful as that is to admit, it was also very humbling.  I have grown tremendously in these past years and never have I ever been so proud of who I am and what I have done in life thus far.  I am seriously so in love with me.  I am ready to continue to develop in my writing as I know this was the gift given to me.  Writing cleanses my soul and spirit.  It is literally like a release for me.  Imagine all the pressure that has been building up for these past few years.  Time to dump it all out on you guys.  So if you are interested in a southern black woman and her rants, then please join in on this journey with me.  There will be a plethora of topics and thoughts.  I have interests that stretch from ratchet guilty pleasures to things that are far beyond our mental capacity.  Roll with me.  I am back!
