6:23 Detroit Shop is hiring.
A hot guy to assist us in our daily duties.
Here are the requirements
Chan? What
Hear me out.
So, it all began when I started doing summer events. Big tents, tables, carrying all this luggage, and realizing, “Omg, I need some arm candy.”
To literally handle all the heavy things.
How am I going to build my creative brand and carry all the heavy totes?
Plus, my mom needs to retire as my pop-up assistant. I’ve been working here for the last five years!
A soldier
I know, I know.
By now, you’re tired of hearing it.
I am seeking a soldier, a man who not only can step but also sees his woman building something he’s inspired by and only wants to contribute to. Not take.
Meaning, this man adds value, he adds strength, he fills in the cracks that need a little seasoning, a little fine-tuning to help her, guide her, not take from her.
He sees something and fixes it, not saying he’s the designer in the space, but he helps this woman where she falls short. Not just carrying the load, but also contributes to making her load smaller.
He’s sure of himself
A confident man.
Not cocky, sure he’s into his power. But he doesn’t subtract from her, only adds.
Women in great positions have to date men who keep them in a position of success.
It’s true.
I am at a stage in my career where I can’t afford a man who breaks me down. Or finds my success as a threat, which means we’re not aligned.
Never date someone who takes more than they give. Sure, they can give you materials and invest in your business. Can they help maintain your peace while running the business?
When my ideas slow down, I have to regroup, come back to center, take a mental break, and relax. I don’t have the time to really dwell on whether you like me or not. I need you next to me, calm, understanding that moment of silence, and not taking it personally.
We gotta be on the same wavelength even if our careers aren’t in the same field.

It ain’t just about looks
I know some really good-looking men, boys. Some who look really good but ain’t doing anything. Using women as ego boost and building that as a career.
Some look really good, have careers, but just are not there.
They’re in Lala Land.
Which is a them problem.
Because see, my man?
He’s not in Lala Land. I need him in reality.
Social media is a tool; it should be used to build, document memories, and get off. You can’t dwell too much on there, you can’t scroll too long because if you do, every move you make is just for content.
In that same sense, why do boys hate my page?
Met someone, talked on the phone, and had a pretty decent conversation, so I thought. They asked for my Instagram, scrolled a bit, made a sly comment about something I owned, corrected them nicely, and never heard from them again. Let me clarify, the conversation didn’t end badly, just on a “I am sleepy, talk to you later”.
Sure, I blocked them… a few days later, but why did you ghost me?
Was it because my life matched the conversation I had on the phone? I never lied? I never boasted?
I am a fashion, lifestyle blogger, you a man?
What offended you? I post fashion looks, selfies, and food.
Should I have been more naked on IG? Did I need more photos of me holding red cups? Were the nonexistent twerk videos a problem?
It puzzled me.
Why did IG change the conversation? It matched the conversation in my opinion, but what happened?
I know what happened, but I promise you, I am grateful you uh got on up out of there.
God saved me once again.
To be a successful woman
You can’t give everyone conversation, so you think I am about to give everybody access to my life as a small business owner, trying to build something from scratch? No.
Chandra doesn’t deserve that, and neither does 6:23 Detroit Shop.
And you know what, you probably were a nice guy, but not right for me. I wasn’t right for you; may you find something for you.
May I be directed into something for me, always.
You could say it was just two days, maybe three. But it took one scroll for the conversation to change, which is unique to me.
To be a successful woman.
Never settle, don’t double text, move on.
So, the one
He just hasn’t shown up yet. It’s like he’s lost in the direction of me. What does that mean?
Like a million pics of something I like? Follow random men from the past? Remind them what they’re missing, or wait?
Waiting feels forever.
I gotta business to build, and I want my person next to me.
Is this a solo journey?
Should I accept this as a solo journey, or should I continue to pray?
Being an independent woman is a powerful journey; I’ve seen it, but I’ve also seen building alongside someone, and I think that’s beautiful as well.
To the hot boyfriend
Come get your girl, they’re trying, but they ain’t you.
