Flower's Garden

Hey y'all, it's your girl Flower. Your average sister from the boogie down. And I'm here to give you my 2 cents on the current and popular questions, events, and social drama that we all can't seem to avoid. I turned 24! My birthday passed on the 11th and I couldn't figure out anything to do. I had barely any plans with no idea of what to wear and it just felt like my world was completely falling apart. Also, I got my monthly the same week so no wonder I was ready to cry in a dark corner. When I did decide on what I wanted to do, it just seemed like the universe was plotting against me. Not realizing that I spoke solitude into this month for me. It's pretty ironic how I have social event after social event scheduled this month. But for some reason, the stars aligned for me to experience these activities alone. Was I upset? Nah. Each time I participated in something that was supposed to be done with friends, I had a great time. That doesn't take away from the...

Hey y'all, it's your girl Flower. Your average sister from the boogie down. And I'm here to give you my 2 cents on the current and popular questions, events, and social drama that we all can't seem to avoid. I'm hoping some of you were wondering where I was for this last month. I know I said I wanted to keep a routine with my posts and I did for three consecutive months. For that I'm proud of myself. I was feeling pretty guilty for my writer's block forgetting to remind myself that my best work didn't come forced. In regards to art and creative energy us artists tend to expect it to come easy like taking our phone out of our pockets. And of course, that's not always the case. As my peoples would say: Life is life-ing right now.  With my adulthood complicating more and more each day, the physical and mental energy to pour my thoughts onto my computer screen sort of just shriveled up. I want to give you guys another one of my famous life tokens filled ...

Still cold but the sun is starting to peek out a bit more often now. Setting a little slower. Spring, my favorite season, is just about here and it's feeling like a breath of fresh air.  I don't know if anyone else practices spring cleaning every year but cleaning always been quite therapeutic for me. The act of rearranging and reorganizing. Going through your closet to make room for a new wardrobe. The whole shabang of it all plus the satisfaction gained from actually getting it done is refreshing. But your bedroom isn't the only thing in your life that needs a makeover. A new moon has passed which was the time to set new intentions for the next couple of weeks. This new moon is in the water sign of Pisces, so it's impo...

Hey y'all, it's your girl Flower. Your average sister from the boogie down. And I'm here to give you my 2 cents on the current and popular questions, events, and social drama that we all can't seem to avoid.  Valentine's Day is here. For all the loners walking this Earth? I feel your pain. Most people don't even consider it to be a holiday. "Celebrate your partner all year!" they say. And with such I wholeheartedly agree, but let's be honest. We all want to be thought about on this mushy day. Flowers, a fancy date, or maybe those 14k white gold hoops you've been eyeing at Zales. Whatever it is, it's the thought that counts right? I used to think that when I was a preteen. Growing up in the hood I was taught to never judge. Some people had it. Some people didn't. And both was okay as long as you were a good person. Those are my morals though and with today's generation being so caught up in social media, I'm not sure most people ...

Hey y'all, it's your girl Flower. Your average sister from the boogie down. And I'm here to give you my 2 cents on the current and popular questions, events, and social drama that we all can't seem to avoid.  It's the year of 2024, a new year, meaning new people and new issues. I'm sure many of you have started to "new year's resolution" yourself to death. Waiting 20 minutes for the guy next to you to stop using the machine you need because gyms are so packed. All the veggies and the salad bags are damn near gone because of the diets people are starting. You even decided to finally block "Mr. Don't Answer" because he no longer serves who you want to be. I know that a good percentage of the population think that resolutions are bullshit, and that you should act on your self in the present moment. I used to be part of that percentage. But with a little more of an optimistic perspective I've learned to look at it as rebranding.  The ...
