Today I remember
I often think how blessed or privileged I am that I have not suffered as I believe others do. Upon reflection I think I do not allow myself to suffer, which means that when it is time to feel I do everything possible to avoid it. This is not self-care this is denial. Last week I cried because I saw a powerful connection in my work, but it was not...

We all have those days
Where getting out of bed seems burdensome. Talking to people seems to be a waste of time. And where putting in any type of effort towards anything seems like a waste. Today is that day for me. No, I do not want to talk to you about whatever the heck you think is important right now. No, I do not want to comb or do my hair, it will get frizzy in two hours anyways. And yes, yes you are annoying...

Self-reflection papers
My professors seem to love them. Course after course I am asked to reflect on myself as a student, an individual and a future professional. The things about these papers is they’re hard. They as you to look into yourself and draw out what really reflects you, as you are pulling academic resources from who knows where. The toughest thing about reflection papers for me is the reflection part....

Ode to my crown and soul
I run my hand through untamed territories
weaving stories of stories past present and future in a rhythmic pattern that seems to match the beating of my heart
they may have colonialized my land and our people but they never had the chance to take away our souls

The innocence of children
I’ve spent the last hour on the phone with my youngest sister. Its an weird feeling to say I’ve been on the phone with my sister. We are not a family unit, there are no dinners spent together, birthdays come and go without much to say, and quite frankly for the first few years of her life, I acted as if she didn’t exist. But now as I sit on the phone with her, trying to explain...

Things would happen must easier and be much more easy for us to understand one another I would have a response to everything you pulled with me and I would have something to work for every situation. I would never say the wrong thing, and we wouldn’t go months or weeks without words. You wouldn’t yell at me, I wouldn’t make you cry, because we’d know what to say. The time...
