Last year around this time my mom was on life support. Today, she’s sitting on the opposite side of the couch, looping the same 5 videos on Facebook. On my nerve. Lol
God is so good. So, so good 🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾
Babygirl thinks we host things because I’m a “cool mom”. Really, it’s just my way of controlling her environment. 🤭
I know what she’s exposed to when she’s home!
I miss old social media. You know, when the goal wasn’t to go viral. Vanity metrics (likes, comments, reposts) didn’t matter as much. People posting random shit bc they liked it. Less trolling. No daily debates.
🗣️ BRING IT BACK!
For some reason, some men assume that when you’re finally off them it’s because of a new nigga. No bruh, it was you. Your actions, your lack of accountability, your inability to communicate, etc.. it’s not always someone else. Women get tired.
I actually like myself. I accepted my flaws and mistakes a while ago. There’s a certain power that comes with acceptance. I am completely comfortable sitting with me. 🤍
Today in church, the message was about being grateful for grief (disappointment, heartache, etc.) and man I cried my little eyes out lol
I’m actually in a really good place but I guess my heart needed that release.
I’m glad that I went 🤍
I had to decline a job offer yesterday and it was bittersweet. Bitter because God told me no but sweet because I know a better opportunity on the way. 😌
We often forget how blessed we are. Not even talking abt material things but the ability to move our limbs, see, hear, speak, etc. things we take for granted.
Here’s you’re reminder to appreciate your many blessings.
Breakups are so wild. Not just romantic but platonic ones too. You really go from fcking with someone everyday to acting like they don’t exist.
Wild. Bizarre.
Nobody talks about how boring peace is, initially.
When you’re used to dysfunction the quietness of peace/stillness is loud and uncomfortable.
Don’t create chaos. Give yourself time to adapt.
You prayed for peace, remember?
A friend and I were talking about the nuances of dating and it’s just so ugh!
You can like a person but not too much; show interest but not too much; be chill but not too chill and it’s just stupid, honestly! 😅
Me: “Hi, my name is Siyara and I’m the clinician that will be working with you!”
Patient: “I’m so happy that you look like me!”
A reminder that representation will always matter. 🤞🏾🤎
Imagine, if people received an outpouring of love; while they are alive and well.
Honestly, I think, it would save a life or two.
Knowing that your presence is a present and that you matter.
Love on people while they’re here to experience it.
Having a child kind of forces you to be selfless; you have to put their needs/wants before your own.
Not everyone is able. And some folks simply don’t want to.
I attended an event today that honored single moms and I never really thought about how difficult mothering can be for some people.
My daughter’s father is A1 but not everyone is that fortunate.
I’m so grateful.
Bodied my case presentation today! Only 3 consultations away from becoming a certified Trauma Focused therapist! 🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾

Tonight, the girls and I came together with our MacBooks, Journals, Goals, Ideas, and got busy! Writing our visions and making them plain.
Being surrounded by people that believe in you is Top Tier!!!
I think friendships would be more fulfilling and everlasting if ppl put the same time and energy into them as they do romantic relationships.
Y’all not ready for that convo tho….
So, when my daughter started kindergarten I started grad school. As she’s made her way through elementary school, I got my masters and became fully licensed. She just graduated and I’m working on private practice. I’m so proud of US. 🥳 🤎🤞🏾
If I see one more person say Nia Long is too fine to get cheated on, imma scream lol
Yes, she’s fine. Fine AF.
Unfortunately, being fine does not mean you’re exempt. Attractive ppl get cheated on everyday.
Yes being in a two parent household is the desired preference. However, if that household is filled with tension, resentment, discomfort and dysfunction, everything BUT love - are you really doing your child a solid by staying?
My daughter sent her Christmas list via iPhone notes,links attached; sizes and color already selected. I literally just had to add to cart. Preciate her! Lol
Had our parent teacher conference yesterday and she began with “In addition to her being a good student she’s a great person” and I was just beaming with pride 🤗😊
I know therapy and mental health awareness is trendy now…but in all seriousness if you need help, seek it. Not for the clout but for yourself. You’re worth it. 🤍
I think sometimes, I forget how hard it is for some women to conceive until I’m reminded of it.
Although baby girl gets on all of my nerves, she’s definitely one of my biggest blessings. 🤍🤗
You must respect and allow people to do what’s best for them. Even if that means them removing you. Humble yourself, reflect, grow, and then choose people that choose you.

age appropriate clothing can be hard to find. It’s either tshirts with unicorns and rainbows or v neck and cropped. Barely anything in between 😭😭. No navel showing over here but a lil midriff sometimes 😢😩
