Let Him Go

Black men love to make themselves seem like the most hated group of people in the world without taking the treatment of black women into account.

It’s crazy having people on social media and knowing them in real life. I get confused on if they’re speaking on the life they want to live or the life they think they live – because neither are accurate in the moment.

We see men speak on loyalty, and women walking away from them. And these end up being the same men that broke women down & leaving was their only choice. Or men want women to stick around, even when they’re being done wrong, because they don’t want anyone else to have them even when they’re not ready.

And maybe I’m speaking from pain, but there are too many women, if not every woman I know, going through this cycle. And it really doesn’t end if you never walk away. Men want us to forgive them for things they would never forgive us for. The women that offer them the most mean nothing to them if they won’t settle for them.

To every woman out there, especially black women, because I can say that – please do not measure your worth based on how a man with nothing to offer treated you. Recognize that it is okay to love, give, and appreciate others. Do not let a man bring you out of your character and make you butter.

You deserve better. You are worth more.

And never go after a man that refused to chase you. If he believes he has more options, let him go after them.

I Prayed For You

At the end of 2024, I just knew I was meeting my soulmate in 2025. It was an intense feeling. As someone who was never big on seeking out love, I knew it was coming to find me. As someone who was content alone, I felt the need to create space in my life for this unknown person. A few days after Christmas, I met a young man. He wasn't my immediate type, but I am a very emotionally led person - so I decided to see where things could go. I was amazed, he worked in Special Educat

And So I Cry

It’s been a whole year! Thank you for sticking by UBG & engaging with my blog an entire year later. This blog is my baby, my safe space & I plan to utilize it more in the new year. 2023 was a hard year to navigate and in 2024 I plan to be more transparent about what’s going on. I forgot that I created this blog to support people and I fit into the category as well. I am excited to navigate this new chapter of adulthood and healing with all that will engage. And hopefully I ca

about the creator

Hey everyone! My name is Alexus Moore, but everyone calls me Lexsie. I am currently an undergraduate student at a university in Indianapolis, IN. My major is Psychology & my minor is Afro-American Studies.

I started my blog January 27, 2019 - a few days after a close friend of mine committed suicide. he struggled with his mental health a lot, and it was hard for him to find a safe place while he was here on earth. so, I was determined to make one. since that day I have dedicated my life to creating a safe place for us - and keeping a constant line of communication open for anyone who needs it.

the purpose of my blog is to create a space for people, especially black youth that are struggling with depression, anxiety, and more. we are constantly told that we are not allowed to feel emotion if we have basic necessities. and it is beneficial to know someone is there, and willing to listen.
