CupcAke Chronicles

Somewhere between a sweet dream & a beautiful nightmare... hard endings and beautiful beginnings... 🙏🏾💜🧁

I kind of want to make a digital diary while my reach is still intimate, but the minute I share something deeply personal, I know that's the post that's going to get way more attention than I want... 😩🫠

Sigh...

Y'all...

This man at my night job just said "Dream about me"... I said, "What did you say!?"

🗣AND HE REPEATED IT! 😭

But I'm so proud of myself because...

1. I think I hid my disgust well. 😬
2. I kindly rerouted by saying I don't sleep enough to dream. 🙃
3. I didn't tell his homeboy to shut up when he tried to double down on his behalf (he tried to say that I can dream whenever I get in bed). 🗣I SAID I DON'T SLEEP!! 😒
4. I only cussed in my mind. (I'm working on it)

Now I'm scared to go to sleep because he really wished a nightmare on me. 🫠

, be kind to me this year! 😩

Living and LOVING proof that God knows exactly what, and most importantly, WHO we're gonna need. Happy Birthday to my LITERAL "Day 1"!!! 🥰🎉🥳😍 I love you boundlessly, mommy! 💜 #CakesDay #GodKnew #familymatters

NGL, I’ve been told that it HAS to take a lot of confidence to wear what I wear (I’m assuming because I don’t have “THE” body). 🤷🏾‍♀️

Honestly, it doesn’t, though. What it takes is a commitment to wearing what FEELS good and the self love to not be overly invested in what OTHERS think looks good. 😌

I’m from SE FLORIDA, where beauty comes in sooo many variations. If I miss nothing else about home, it’s the diversity. 🌏

N. Florida (outside of the collegiate space) has a very narrow concept when it comes to a lot of things— including beauty, style, and talent. It’s like one person decides what everyone likes, and if you want status or inclusion, you have to like it, too. This isn’t about preference. It’s about conditioning. 🙄

I’m not saying this in a shady way, It’s just my personal observation. My individuality may keep me out of some rooms, but I truly believe that it’s the key to me landing in the RIGHT ones! So yeah, I’mma turn my swag on even if it turns some people off! 🙃🥰😘

🎭 I have tickets to the Nate Bargatze (comedy) show on Sunday. It was originally a gift, but plans shifted—and I’d still love to share the experience with (or maybe even gift it to) someone who’d enjoy it. I just want the night to be meaningful.

DM (or text me) for further details if you're interested. 💜
