Is 2020 over yet?

2020 has been a whirlwind! First, we thought there might be WWIII, then the great Kobe Bryant died. The next thing we know we were in a full-blown pandemic! COVID19 has literally canceled TF out of 2020, but I'll revisit this in a moment. On the next level of Jumanji, the US was introduced to "Murder Hornets"! Not only are they a threat to the remaining bee population, but apparently those MFs can kill you too. And amid the pandemic, the murder of Breonna Taylor and George Floyd sparked the largest protest, around the world! WE TIRED BOSS! AND ARREST THE KILLERS OF BREONNA TAYLOR! 

Okay so now its the middle of July, we're 5 months into COVID19, and this shit is giving us a run for our money!! LITERALLY! Many small businesses were jeopardized, and if you're someone who got sick from COVID19, or lived with someone who had COVID19, your ass was out of work for 2 weeks, maybe longer. And if you weren't considered an "Essential Worker", you were probably out of work for over 4 months! I for one ran out of EIB and PTO since both of my parents experienced symptoms within a month of each other. Then the government had the nerve to only send out ONE stimulus check! How the hell were we supposed to pay rent and feed ourselves? We grateful though, I'm just saying, run us another check. Hell, I didn't even get one, so let me hush. Anyway, what a time to be alive.... that is if you even survived.

This leads me to why I'm here. A year post-grad and in debt, I found myself looking for other avenues for streams of income. Now I was always good at writing and composition both in high school and college, so how hard can blogging be? I've been considering this for a while now. Will it help create extra funds? I don't know, I can only hope for the best. 

So I welcome you to my Blog! Listen to Lex talk! I curse a little, I think I'm funny, you may not think so, and that's okay! I'm here to write about things that interest me, and maybe they'll interest you too! I hope you stay with me on this journey, and maybe message me if there are unique things you want to read about! Yall stay safe and WEAR A DAMN MASK! 

Thanks for coming to Talks with Lex!

The One Where I Drove The Boat

After Highschool, my mom created a new family tradition. Every child gets a trip to anywhere they'd like, within our financial means, of course, to celebrate the milestone of graduating! So its 2019 and my ass finally graduated from college. After 5 long, agonizing years of school, my trip to Florida was well deserved and needed. June 4th, 2019: I remember sitting at a table, looking out into the ocean, and thanking God for allowing my family to share this experience. I guess I was really zoned out, because next thing I heard was my mom saying, "Come on yall, I rented a boat" which quickly brought my ass back to reality. WTF! I thought we were going parasailing? I thought to myself, I know its "Hot Girl Summer" and all, but sis we don't know a damn thing about DRIVING A BOAT! Apparently, we all couldn't parasail at the same time. So my mom got the bright idea to go on a boat ride, while my dad and brother parasailed. When I realized that my dad would

PTSD

The pain and embarrassment still sits. Memories and feelings Coming and going,, good and bad Deep down I love you And at times I hate you Because I gave my all You took me for granted A tiger cant change its stripes I know you're trying I'm trying We're trying But nothings the same The way you hold me now, makes me cry I've always wanted you to hold me like this Like you never wanted to let me go The way you kiss me now.. so sweet The way you care.. so intentional It's everything I've wanted from the beginning So now I only live for our short moments I exxpect nothing more or less I fear I will become to attached again I fear that you will change again I fear that the love from me to you will never be the same What if my fears make you stop loving me? I'm afraid to be alone again So I settle Knowing that I need more Knowing that we are too different But I'd do it all again Fall in love with you.
