I am an insecure Black man in therapy, trying to navigate life without losing my mind while dealing with my childhood trauma and the current state of our country. I was born to teenage parents in Orange Mound, Memphis, Tennessee. My mom was 16 and my dad was 19 when I was born. My parents didn’t stay together long after that. About four years later, my mother met someone, got married, and gave birth to my younger sister. When I was eight years old, I witnessed my mother being shot by her estranged husband. She was shot five times, including once in the head. By the grace of God, she survived.

    Mama used to say, "a hard head makes a soft behind."

    Thinking about my last relationship Trying to find peace with how it ended.  Realizing relationships are mirrors.  Sometimes you don’t like the reflection looking back at you.  Hindsight is always 20/20.  I used to keep replaying the past… wishing I had done things differently.Now I’m learning the past is supposed to be tools for the present, not a prison. I wish I wasn’t such a slow learner sometimes. But I’m still figuring it out… and honestly, that’s okay
