LockDown Diaries Pt. 6: This Dating Thing

Posted on May 18, 2020 by Tasha Rose Leave a comment

Dating during the quarantine is trash, just on a different day. These days I don’t usually like to get too too personal and talk about my love life. But I have been seeing a lot of conversations recently about how, for better or worse, dating has been for singles during this time. When this first started […]... Read More

Tuesday marked 3 weeks to the day since I last talked to my Mom. Our conversation was her confirming what my sister had told me – that she had decided to take a road-trip to Mississippi to visit my aunts, her sisters (with a detour in Chicago to pick up one of her older sisters […]... Read More

LockDown Diaries Pt.4: Is it Weird That I’m Okay?

A friend of mine texted me Friday just to check in and see how I’ve been “coping” being quarantined. In fact he specifically asked me if I’ve been going crazy having to be inside or if I was out and about. It was funny to me because like my last post reflected – I’ve definitely […]... Read More

Boundaries

It’s that time of the year again. People are claiming that 2020 will be their year amidst others making the “I don’t set goals” or “I don’t like intentions” declarations. As one of the few people I know actually liked the idea of resolutions, in the past few years that has shifted to me setting […]... Read More

Today marks my 41stjourney around the sun. Yup, your girl is getting up there in age. Unlike last year, I’m not freaking out about it. In fact, I started the day journaling and reading my journal entries from the past year. The genesis of the idea was to see how much, if at all, I […]... Read More

I have a general rule that when I am dating a guy, that I don’t follow them on social media. Actually that extends to most men that I like, date, talk to, or in any way consider a potential. If we end up in a relationship, that’s different. But up until then…probably not. Now the […]... Read More

So This is 40

It’s been awhile since I wrote, and figured there was no better time to resurface than the dawning of my 40th birthday. To tell the truth, the idea of this particular birthday and what it meant has had me anxious for a while. When I say anxious, I mean panic-attacks-in-bed-with-tears-streaming-down-my-face kind of anxious. All of […]... Read More

Stop Forcing It

Am I the only one that feels like they have spent too much time trying to force things that aren’t meant for them? The thought that came to me a week or so ago was that you shouldn’t have to force things that are meant for you. It seems like the most obvious thing ever. […]... Read More

Time

Like a lot of people I know, I’m still feeling the effect of losing an hour with Daylight Savings being yesterday. It’s dawning has had me thinking more about time than usual. As it is I already think about time a lot. In fact, if I had a superpower it would be to control time. […]... Read More

The Power of Your Words

One of the truest things that has ever been said is that you can live and die by what you say (also known as “Death and life are in the power of the tongue” -Proverbs 18: 21). One of the things that I used to be guilty of doing is complaining and talking about a […]... Read More
