I was 18 yrs old, just graduated high school, smelling myself and thinking I was grown grown and ready to express and embrace my independence. My friends and I decided we was gonna go meet up with some boys in Binghampton. I lied to my mom and told her I would be staying with a friend who had moved from Getwell Garden to Binghampton as well as babysitting for my auntie Pam (R.I.P). We actually stayed in a TRAP house with some guys on Princeton. I met this guy and was laid up with him all week.

Can we talk about purpose for a moment. Real talk purpose is a word that many want to obtain but few people understand its meaning thus get frustrated in the discovery process. This frustration is due to one not understanding it's meaning. We know, in general, purpose is "what a thing or person was designed or created to do" but the misconception is that it something that you discover.

Do we truly know the definition of unconditional love? Perhaps the problem is not in the definition. Do we accept God’s unconditional love? Better yet, do we know how to walk in that unconditional love? As women we tend to be harder on ourselves than we need to be. We are our own worst critics. Whenever something goes wrong we quickly blame ourselves. However we like to call it “accepting responsibility.” After all, it is the “adult” thing to do. But where accepting responsibility goes wrong is in the self-punishing and the inability to move forward. There is no condemnation in God.
