Pandora's Anxious Adventure

 Oops been a lil ghosty in these streets. Must think I'm Casper the friendly ghost or whatever. But I'm back with another installation of "What We Reading".Still in my webcomic phase of life, so I'm coming in with another favourite platform calledTappyToon. Notsure how I found them, but I know that they have some great comics and it had to have been an advertisement for one of them, and here we are a whole quarantine later.  TappyToon It is worth noting that this app comes with paywalls. You only get a limited amount of free episodes for every chapter. Just a lil toops of a taste of what the story is about. And if the story hooks you in you have to pay using the in-app currency for the rest of the chapters. They also offer the option of buying multiple chapters at once. So if the story is completed, you can grab it all at once and binge the story in one night. (I do that a lot, I have a problem and my sleep and body hate it). But if the story ain't finished yo

I am, have been and will always be of the mindset, that everything a person does or says has consequences. This is simply how I was raised. And with my life-long anxiety being a thing, ya girl has a tendency to latch on to things and form minor obsessions on these things. Sometimes this is from trauma bonding, sometimes it ain't. But that's a more of a conversation to develop upon with my therapist. What I am here to talk about is how a lot of folks in this day and age, can and will get they feelings hurt and be embarrassed by me and the public not living by the belief that they shit can and will always come back to bite them. So because I've latched on to these beliefs in life I have had the wonderful experience of having my long-dormant and better-managed anger resurface over the past few years, especially in a post-2016 election world. I done had my consequences catch up to me, with regards to my anger before, so now I'm much more cognizant of the words I speak.

Lemme tell y'all, folks, something. I am a future hot gyal. Right now I am in training. I started my hot gyal training slightly late, but don't discount me.  Musically I am a true hot gyal. An older one, who got bad knees, but a hot gyal none the less. The current issue is that my training is currently in a suspended space because of the 'Rona. But lemme tell y'all 2020 was gonna be my year. I was gonna be traveling more, my fitness journey would have been more situated and I was looking the part. It's a couple bits and pieces that would be forever missing cause honestly, me nuh have too much patience for tomfoolery and shenanigans. But I was working my way towards being a true hot gyal by the end of 2020. Unfortunately, a slight global pandemic has put a full halt to those plans. So for now, ya girl is a musically based hot gyal, and here are some playlists for y'all.

Having watched this most recent installment/episode of Red Table Talk and seeing how my social spaces have been interacting with all the information regarding the situation. I had a few core thoughts to get off my chest: What Jada did with August is fucked. Make no mistake. A part of me wanted to call it predatory but then I sat and thought about all the relationships I've seen and talk folks through the years, this shit ain't new. I’ve seen friends do this in their own interpersonal relationships. They’ll believe they are open to getting to know new people after ending things either amicably or even after a volatile ending, either one. But they never fully deal with the healing process of ending the previous relationship, not professionally. And in the process meet folks, they’ll be interested but not that interested. Enjoy their company but in the back of their mind wait for a new opportunity with the previous person. And issa a lot of folks (man, woman and bby non-binaries)
