Lifestyle. Melanin. Me: Off the Beaten Path.
I was watching a TikTok last night where the creator was commenting on the characteristics of people who are gifted and talented, and that sparked a very random but important memory.

Let me tell you what adulting looks like to TSP these days. Spa memberships. When masseuses that had the pleasure of trying to smooth over these decades-long stressed out bones would inform me that I needed to have monthly massages, I would think: uh, where is that money coming from? (Specifically, I would silently nod …
It's been ages since we last chatted. But this is nothing new over here. We're knee deep into 2024 after the 365 days of January. Did the first month of the year feel like a giant eternity to you, too? How has life been for me so far? It's been interesting. But we will focus …

How are you? May is Mental Health Awareness month and by now, I hope you know that mental and emotional health and sustainment are big priorities for your Square Peg. It surpasses the month of May, yes, but always worth mentioning when we have dedicated days, too. I want all of us to be okay, …

I've been a singleton for many years now, and have lived alone for many years, as well. So let's chat about a few of the awesome and not so awesome stuff about living single, shall we? We're limiting this to the actual living part of living single. Let's start with the not so great things …

Hey, y'all. Been a while since I updated you, dear readers, about life and what's going on with your Square Peg. Image credit: Giphy Autumn 2020. Lest we refer back to the year that shall remain nameless, we'll start there. After months of quarantine living and having way too many conversations with myself, I decided …
So, by now, I’m sure you’ve heard the details of the “bombshell” interview that Oprah Winfrey conducted with Harry and Meghan a few weeks ago. (If you’re a woman and a person of color, not much that you heard was surprising.) But believe me, despite not being largely surprised by how Meghan was treated, I …
