12PM in NoHo.

I’ll preface by saying I didn’t want this to be a blog. I didn’t want to get on Al Gore’s internet and type away about my life, ideas, thoughts, and opinions. Seriously, I’m not that interesting.

I don’t have a niche. I don’t have a compelling life story to share to inspire the masses. I don’t make candles. I don’t make music. I don’t workout. I don’t do my hair on camera. I’m not that interesting.

I find myself in a tizzy every month Squarespace takes my money out of my account. I always shake my head and say “Damnit, that could’ve been taco money!”

Honestly, I felt that I had nothing to offer for a platform. I felt that my thoughts about the Rap Radar Christmas interview with Drake was nothing that folk wanted to read about. I didn’t think that anybody would care about me nerding out about 10 years of ‘Community’ and how I went on a solo mission to their reunion at the Vulture Festival. I hate Hollywood/Highland sober, but damnit I took that noisy ass trip to see my Greendale folks.

See the tangent I just went on? Nobody wants to read that!

*insert eye roll emoji*

But something happened this weekend, and it’s kinda hard to put into words. But if I could try, I’d say being almost 30 whoopin my ass right now.

I’ve really be over here contemplating what would my legacy be if I dropped dead tomorrow.

Morbid but yeah, blame it Big Rona.

SO! What’s a girl to do when she’s having an early midlife crisis, disgruntled about not writing about what she loves?

SHE WRITES!

The piece was titled 12AM because it was that time when I started this. I just finished eating a salad, and I’m sitting in my robe and durag. It was now 1AM.

This is me taking steps to more discipline and freedom in my craft. I could be sleep or studying right now but I took time to do this.

Lovestein Talks will be the place where I house (tiny parts of) my life, (dim) ideas, (wild?) thoughts, & (non problematic, I promise) opinions. The commentary will still reflect random things that interest me but this…..we gon see where this goes.

Signing off. Gotta study now.

If you read this, thanks.

If not, it’s cool. I’m not that interesting anyway.
