What to Do When Your Dreams Reject You

May 13, 2016 by Miss T.N. King in 'Sincerely KING' Blog, Uncategorized

For those who follow me on social media know that I recently accepted a new job at my dream company and will be relocating to my dream city, NYC.  However, you didn't know that before these dreams were manifested, I was rejected not once but twice from my dream company.  My faith in God was constantly tested.  I almost gave up on everything.  Oh, and I went to bed numerous times feeling confused, disappointed, and frustrated.  I've been working in my career field for more than a year and a half.  I didn't know that climbing up the totem pole would be a rigorous journey.  Society makes it seem like once your foot is finally in the door (aka once you finally get a job), you can smoothly sail to the top.  That's a lie.  Truth is, the struggle never ends even after you get a job.  In this post, I want to be very transparent about my rocky journey and how I still became victorious after experiencing rejection from my dreams.  This is my story. I remember it like it was yesterday when they flew me out for my first interview.  Everything felt so right.  The people, the culture, the city--I knew in my heart this company was for me.  In fact, in my personal journal I declared that this year I would gain employment with this specific company, relocate to NYC, and triple my compensation.

SHUT UP ASKING FOR YOUR HUSBAND!!!

August 25, 2015 by Miss T.N. King in 'Sincerely KING' Blog

Yes ladies I said it: SHUT UP ASKING FOR YOUR HUSBAND!  I used to be one of those pathetic women praying dearly every night for God to send me my husband.  "Oh God, when are you going to send him?!"  I used to spend so many nights fantasizing about my happily ever after.  I've spent nights crying in frustration because I got tired of dating those who I already knew weren't "the one" deep down. But then one day, I got tired of complaining.  I got tired of waiting.  I got tired of having the same old sorry, repetitive prayer to God!  I decided to SHUT THE HECK UP AND ENJOY MY LIFE!

There's more to life than marrying a man!  Shocking right?!  Yes!  I know society places big emphasis on a woman's relationship status.  If a woman is not married by 30, she's automatically "weird".  Something must be wrong with her!  After all, a man's opinion of you and decision to offer you a commitment determines your self-worth.  THAT'S A LIE! (For those who can't sense my sarcasm).

Why Doesn't He Love Me?!

June 15, 2015 by Miss T.N. King in 'Sincerely KING' Blog, advice, empowerment, faith, inspirational, intimacy, life, lifestyle, love, Relationships, Romance, self help, singles, women

I've asked myself so many times, "What's wrong with me?"   I've been dating for three years and no serious, committed relationships have come from any of it.  There have been nights where I would become so frustrated. It seems like the guys who adored me were nice but that's all they were--nice.  We lacked common interests, chemistry and connection.  Then there's the guy who possesses majority of things you want in a partner.  You two begin to talk, click and eventually build.   But somewhere along the way, things went left and now your Mr. Future joins your list of Mr. Pasts.

I've wasted so much time analyzing things I could not control--people and the past.  "Maybe he was thinking this or that", "maybe I should have reworded that message", "oh crap, I shouldn't have went off--now he thinks I'm crazy and definitely doesn't want me."

Creating Your Queendom

July 17, 2014:"I have officially hit rock bottom today....It seems like everyone's dreams are coming true except mine.  I feel like I've wasted the last 21 years of my life.  Every morning I wake up feeling worthless and purposeless.  I just want to be happy.  I just want to feel wanted.  I want to feel meaningful.  I don't feel valued.  I feel like I'm not good enough.  I feel like a caged bird trapped and unable to fly..."  -Excerpt from Miss T.N. King personal diary

Those are the words of a recent college graduate who had been unemployed for 7 months and hated having to move back home with her parents.  I was very close in getting job offers, but none of them fell through.  I was so frustrated and depressed.  Never in my life have I experienced so much rejection.  All I wanted was to move to Texas, be independent, and work in my career.  I had spent my entire undergraduate career interning every semester, networking, and consistently making the Dean's List; I couldn't understand why my hard work wasn't paying off.

The New Side Chick Part II: But I Can't Leave Him...

January 05, 2015 by Miss T.N. King in 'Sincerely KING' Blog, advice, christian, dilemmas, empowerment, faith, inspirational, life, love, men, motivation, reflection, Relationships, Romance, self help, singles, women

In my opinion, love is the greatest gift a person can give and receive. People spend a lifetime seeking, chasing, crying, and fighting for love. But what happens when that sweet love turns sour? Your sunny skies turn gray, and the one person you loved the most has given you the biggest heartache.  I want to discuss how to let go of toxic relationships and gain the strength to move forward. Since I've published "The 'New' Side Chick: I was Her", a lot of men and women have contacted me sharing their similar experiences and have asked me how to move on from someone you love. I too have faced the same challenge, and through the grace of God, I've made it. Growing up, I've always vowed to never give my heart away. I liked, but wouldn't dare to love. However, all of that changed once I got to college. I met my then Prince Charming my first semester, fell deeply in love, and threw out all of my "player's cards".

The 'New' Side Chick: I Was Her

December 29, 2014 by Miss T.N. King in 'Sincerely KING' Blog, advice, christian, empowerment, faith, inspirational, life, love, men, motivation, Relationships, Romance, self help, singles, women

A side chick is commonly known as a mistress or a woman that's romantically involved with a man who is in a committed relationship.  However after doing some reflecting, I realize that's not the only type of side chick.  I want to discuss "the new side chick"--a woman who decides to stay by a man's side after he has expressed his lack of relationship intentions with her through his words or actions.  So many women have made this mistake at least once in their lifetime, and unfortunately I've done the same thing. I like to think of the new side chick as an appetizer.  You're there just to satisfy the immediate appetite of the man, but as soon as that mouth-watering entrée comes out to the table, you will get pushed to the side, literally.  Why?  Because that entrée is what he really wanted; he went to the restaurant to order steak, not hot wings.  You were just a placeholder, fling, temporary commitment, ormaybe even just a "good ol time" until what he really wanted was presented to him.  I know I sound a bit harsh, but even I had to realize my then-reality for what it was.  Simply put: you are not and will never be his Queen.

Where is My #MCE?!?!

December 21, 2014 by Miss T.N. King in 'Sincerely KING' Blog, advice, christian, empowerment, faith, friendship, inspirational, life, love, motivation, reflection, Relationships, Romance, self help, women, young adult

Every Monday, social media timelines are flooded with women posting pictures of the men they adore with the hash tag #MCM ("Man Crush Monday").  Those who are in relationships, engaged or married usually post a picture of their man with the hashtag #MCE ("Man Crush Everyday"), which signifies that this is the person they are crushing on 24/7. I've been single for the past 2 1/2 years and never partook in #MCM/#MCE.  It's not that I didn't want to participate; I just wasn't in an official relationship with anyone. (Side note: I don't believe in publicly broadcasting someone I am just "talking" to.)

However, every week it seemed as if someone new revealed their #MCE.  Everyone around me was getting in new relationships, engaged, or married.  Meanwhile, I was still single.  I became upset because it seemed like all of the women who were getting "cuffed" lacked quality and substance.

Chapter XXII

December 16, 2014 by Miss T.N. King in 'Sincerely KING' Blog

I am officially 22 years old.  Wow.. *Checks for any gray hairs* LOL.  As I sit back and reflect on my life, I can honestly say there has been so much growth and maturity I've seen within myself.  I still have a long way to go, but I am confident that as long as I keep God first in my life, he will lead, wreck, protect, guide, and heal me from all things. So what makes this birthday different from others?  Well, I declare "Chapter XXII" is the beginning of me living a life full of PURPOSE.  That means:  I know WHO God says I am, WHAT God has CALLED me to do, and I am stepping out on FAITH because I refuse to let FEAR hold me back from my DESTINY!!!
