#NIADIARIES VOL 6. – “DO NOTHING WITHOUT INTENTION.”

niasimone April 17, 2019 0 Comments
Scrolling through the most popular images on any "self care" hashtag, I'm bombarded with the same eye-rollingly repetitive imagery including: -  Open-ended, fortune cookie-esque inspirational quotes like "You can't pour from an empty cup." or "My imperfections make me beautiful." - Super skinny white girls in front of tropical, beachy, etc. backgrounds looking like they've never felt any pain in...

2018 was a year of ups, downs, lefts, rights, and everything in between. I learned a lot about my true essence of self and what I actually want out of life. 2019 will be the year where I reach for the stars and make things happen.

When am I going to see some babies?. As if when you drunkenly reach the finish line of college you...

I often spend my nights running through the endless field of weeds (and spontaneous roses) that is Netflix. I can often be an indecisive person so something as extensive and never-ending as Netflix can be a source of anxiety for me. Even though I want to find something new, fresh, and interesting to watch I have so much to choose from that I stress myself out, and end up watching another The...
