Love is not a simple task people learn to give or receive. Learning to love does not happen overnight. Multiple experiences can change a person's ability to receive and give love. People never know what someone goes through in life which is why it's best to always lead with love. However, it’s not always that easy and it damn sure isn’t easy loving yourself.
Read More“The social season is upon us.” Being single on Valentine’s Day can be a tad bit dreadful. Everyone is celebrating with their significant other, posting what they got for Valentine’s Day. Some of your friends will be posting their engagements, wedding, or pregnancy announcements. Posting beautiful couples and family photos. The list goes on!! Even though being single on Valentine’s Day has its cons, it still has its pros. Use this day to give yourself some much-needed self-love!! The key to being happy in a relationship is first able to love yourself when you’re alone and to be able to do that; you need to spend a lot of time in solitude and figure out what you enjoy and are passionate about. Remember, “just because something is not perfect does not make it any less worthy of love.” -Daphne
Read MoreIs 2020 over yet, are we at the end of the rollercoaster ride? The death of influential people and loved ones, Covid-19, being stuck in quarantine, murder hornets, protesting police brutality, wildfires, the election. This year has been so tough, especially if you’re black. Being an African American, the senseless killings of my brothers and sisters by the hands of racist police have taken a toll on me mentally. With that said, I do know that I am tired; the black community is tired. Today I want to share 10 things to do when you don’t feel like doing anything for those of us who are just tired.
Read MoreIf you’ve been noticing, I haven’t been posting much on social media lately. Especially on Instagram, the leading social platform I use daily. I haven’t posted on my feed in a few weeks now. I’ve been posting in my Instastories from time to time to let you know I’m still alive, haha. Just in case you were wondering, I wanted to share why I’ve been cutting down my social media time. I posted that I was close to reaching 30 minutes a day on Instagram, which is huge for me, haha. However, I still felt like it wasn’t enough.
Read MoreAs you may know, I love to read. I’m not picky by how I read; whether it’s physical, kindle, or audio, I don’t mind. Today, I’m sharing with you 15 books I plan to read or listen to this year. Last year, my reading goal was 24, which I did not reach since I DNF(did not finish) a lot of books(reached it if I included the books I read to my daughter, haha). Plus, I’m also trying to write a novel. So, for this year, I cut my reading goal down to 15.
Read MoreIt’s that time of year again. Time to bring in the new year. First, I want to say that I am so grateful to be alive to see the year 2020. Usually, I write a post on what my goals for the new year are and reflecting on what goals I achieved in the last year. This post will be a little different. Mainly because the year 2019 was a year of reflecting in itself, and even though I’m thankful for achieving the goals I did last year, I don’t want to review them. 2019 seemed as if it was a grace period before 2020, I guess that is the best way to put it. I’m hoping 2020 is more active, but for it to be more dynamic, it starts with me, right? The problem is, how does a person who is forever stuck in their mind, get into action?
