On People and Posts…
In my late teens/early 20s, I would publicly rage online against anyone I felt deserved it. My college bestie was dating my crush behind my back? Shitpost. My pastor was a closeted asshole? Passive aggressive Bible verse. The party I didn’t vote for did exactly what they said they would? Meme. I was a hero.…
On Believing in Yourself…
One time after I sang at church, a woman told me that my voice was incredibly beautiful. She let me know that she was quite the singer herself and told me whatever the Christian version of “game recognize game” is. I was extra flattered that someone who actually knew music thought I sang well and…
On Envy…
Have you ever had friends that were so incredible and successful and caring in every conceivable way? A way that just filled your heart with pure rage? Well, I’d like you to meet Raajiee, Ben and Akeem and let the hate flow through you… I Hate my Friends Less than 24 hours ago, one of…
On Being Hard to Love…
I don’t have any game. None. I am the sidewalk before someone draws the hopscotch on it. Once, I locked eyes with a guy I had never met, smiled and uttered the word “Hi!” and he immediately responded with “You’re… A LOT!” I am So Much. Like I am So A Lot. Something I often…
On Sacred Spaces…
A Church, A Bar and A Car Up until I was 16, essentially every space I found myself in was religious in one way or another. A church. A Bible study. A private Christian school. I wasn’t really allowed to venture outside the Protestant sphere. Religious meant “sacred”. The problem was: those spaces never felt…
On Ranjini Aunty…
You know in the movies when they do a flashback to someone’s childhood? There’s a particular lighting and it’s in slow motion. Always in some grass field. There’s a child running around without a care in the world playing with daisies. I always wondered why White people left their children to roam alone in fields…
On What We Owe Ourselves…
I am in therapy because duh. A few months ago, my therapist and I figured out that most of what I do is based on what I believe I owe my fellow man. So, my homework for that week was to try and make a list of what I owe myself. A Break I was…
On Vaccines & Covid…
This is an intentional clickbait title because I am shameless. If my pastor and/or employer is reading this…I hope you’re not suffering too big of a heart attack right now; I’ll be nice, I promise. COVID … IS A GOVERNMENT CONSPIRACY!!! Jk jk jk. We have entered the 3rd year of a global pandemic. I…
On Hair…
A special post written by my big sister! 🙂 Hair and feelings I have often heard that having a child forces one to reckon with their past traumas and current triggers. I was ready for the things I had prepared for (the mother wound, imposter syndrome, overall new mom pressure etc…). What I was not…
On The Residential “Schools”, Patriotism & Nationalism…
Last night, the Habs secured their spot in the Stanley cup finals. The last time this happened, I was 2. While they were securing that spot, I had the great privilege of having dinner & celebrating the last 5 years of someone I hold close to my heart who just graduated. While the Habs were…
