  Have you ever had an entire frozen pizza to yourself?! Just like "screw it, this baby is all mine"?! Recently I did this.  For health reasons, I don't recommend this practice on the regular. But believe it or not, I find it quite therapeutic! Anytime you can say "fuck it" and detach from reality for a few moments I consider it a win. I guess for me it's frozen pizza. But it really can be anything...a solo walk, loud music, shutting off your phone. This kind of detachment is a completely passive, yet a super powerful form of self-care. Sometimes you need to shut off the world around you. Forget the "norms". And connect with yourself. Feel those damn feels you normally would shove into a corner. The guilt, the anger, the embarrassment. These are all normal , human feelings. We react because they are not happy, positive feelings. They are automatically considered negative which puts us in a funk. Once you recognize them though, you find how do deal ...

It’s always the damn laundry. Figuratively and literally. I hate laundry. Figuratively and literally. After any given day, the last thing I want to give ANY ounce of the attention I have left is to that damn laundry. And every time, there it is, in the same basket (it's been in at least for the last three days) staring me in the face. I know you know. Because this is what we do. We stretch ourselves so thin every freaking day between the things we have to do, that by the time we get to the things we want to do, we have nothing left to give. So we start cutting the "haves" out to make room for our "wants". But then the haves pile up. And that shit ain't going nowhere. And now we just have a big ass mountain of laundry that will take up so much damn time and now we're crabby AF. You know what else is a "have" though? Self-freaking-care and mental sanity! ...so... If you can, if only for a day, forget the proverbial laundry! As long as you’ve go...

What the hell am I doing here?! Writing?! Nix that. Blogging?! Listen, us creatives have a voice too. And personally, I have a rather loud one. And since I’m normally working with my hands most of the time, this is just one more way for the masses to hear me. It’s also a way for me personally to “get it all out there”. I love my social media communities, but such as life on those platforms, when people see a lot of words they tend to scroll right on past. No matter how cool my shit is. So this is my way to expand on my thoughts and share said thoughts with a bigger audience. I’m really pumped you stumbled upon this! Hopefully you’ll be back for more. Like every other aspect in my life and business, I want the vibe to be low-key and chill. Like I’m just hanging, having real-life convos with my friends. Sometimes it will come off blunt. But for those who don't know me, that’s who I am. I don’t sugarcoat it when it comes to shit I'm passionate about. One of my BIGGEST passions, se...
