Feeling grateful; Celibacy; Welcoming 2026 ❤️

1:46AM Some days I can be a little overly judgemental of myself, my progress, and my very wellbeing. It's 2026 now and I didn't go out to the club. As I am growing up, I realize that I don't need to feel the pressure to fit in a society that never welcomed me, accepted my flaws, or accommodate to my short comings. I learned to be grateful for the little things. The fact that I can go home to see my adorable dog welcoming me is something worth sharing. In less than 3 months I will be 1 year celibate. This is a huge deal for me, because I would accept the bare minimum from men, not feeling that I deserved more or better. Being celibate has gotten me closer to God, someone I didn't express much faith in in my earlier years. I can now say positively that God is my best friend. I got saved 2 years ago when my schizophrenia symptoms were a lot worse. I hope with 2026, I can get closer with GOD. I hope I can get through these auditory hallucinations that comes with being a ...

Gentrification in San Francisco

Precious Uloaku Amaechi Ms.Smith African American Consciousness Nov 16th, 2025 Final Draft 11/29 “Daddy, where did all the customers go?” I asked my father as he drove us home. We were both exhausted from working a 14-hour shift at a store named G & R Market. It resides in the Filmore District. It was my dad’s liquor store business ever since he immigrated from Lagos, Nigeria. Why is this significant? It’s not like we received many positive Yelp reviews. Most customers on the app were wondering how we still keep the lights on at this business, given the fact that Target, Safeway, and Best Buy were taking our profits big time. My dad didn’t have an answer to my question. Instead, he drove us home just like he’s supposed to. Everyday. The same freeway. As we were driving home, I noticed that the streets I was raised in started to look more unfamiliar each time I passed by. Every other street would have a coffee shop. I was never a co...

Feeling seen; My Favorite Artist Of All Time Reshared My Appreciation Post.

Hey guys! Before I get into the main topic, I just want to say that I did not post content about Riconasty for clout. I am truly a fan of her work and she just happened to see it. As a Schizophrenic, her music gives me strength. Her energy is contagious and her flow is incomparable. I became addicted to her rage persona. Her music gets me up in the morning and keeps me up at night. I pray she keeps getting the exposure she deserves because she's the full package! This is still the beginning for her because she's still in her 20s. She has a LONG way to go and I think she deserves more attention. I hope more successful artist give her a chance. I hope that more radio host bring her for more interview because she's truly an icon who's in her own lane. There's literally no-one like her. Its very hard to choose a favorite song from her because all her songs are completely unique. I listen to " Rage" when I need a boost of motivation. I listen to " Key...

Halloween 2025: Plans for halloween?; Modern Day Romance

As Halloween approaches, I find myself in a familiar predicament: costume-less and feeling the swift passage of time. Being a full-time student has accelerated my perception of days, making the holiday season feel like it's slipping away. To my fellow last-minute costume seekers, take comfort—you're not alone. My irregular sleep pattern has become a hallmark of this season. Late nights in San Francisco blend into daytime naps, likely a consequence of academic pressures. There's something nostalgic about reflecting on childhood Halloweens, when the excitement was pure and unbridled. Back then, candy was a reward, not a calculated indulgence. While dressing up remains enjoyable, the magic has transformed. Adult responsibilities temper the spontaneity, making me appreciate those carefree childhood moments. Moderation replaces unbridled enthusiasm, a subtle reminder of growing older. Currently nestled in my apartment, I'm vibing to Megan Thee Stallion's latest track ...

the great lock in for 2025; Focusing on myself, self-love, and moving forward

2:15AM I know I should be asleep right now, but how can I possibly sleep when we only have about 12 weeks till 2026? The main question I ask myself is.. did I do everything I thought I could do this year? Not sure how to answer that question because my life could be better in so many ways. Long story short, my name is Uloaku. Most people know me as Precious. I am currently a full-time student at San Francisco Community College. I know the experience for many could be daunting, because every parent or faculty member asks where I want to eventually transfer to. I give them the answer that feels most comfortable to say, such as I plan on obtaining a skill that can long-term land me a steady job that pays all my bills. I am proud of myself for how far I've come mentally, emotionally, and spiritually. Living with schizophrenia symptoms can be tough. What does self-love look like for you? I know many may judge, but this is what I truly have to say. My room is not the c...
