7 Reasons Why

The 7 Reasons Why Black People Always Die First In Scary Movies I believe that we have all watched our fair share of scary movies. We’ve all seen the opening of a movie, with a woman in the shower. She hears a noise and says, “hello?” And the audience sighs because she gave her location away to the killer. Now imagine a black woman in the shower. She will have her shower cap on and will hear ALL. If she understands anything, it won’t be a hello. It’ll be a goodbye, she will either fight or flight. Imagine your top ten picks and then try to recall the black character in each those films. Did they die off first? Were they killed towards the beginning or middle of the movie? Yeah, let me clue you in as to why. We do not play by any of the rules:  You know those typical ghost stories? Where there is running water, or the doors are slammed or closed behind you while you're brushing your teeth? Yeah, WE don't play that. We would confront it. "Look here g

The way you feel

I remember when I was dating someone, and I sought out the advice of my closest friends. They would tell me I was too "nice", and that I should never give and do all of what I was doing in my relationship. But yet those same people would seek someone who could love them endlessly. People will always tell you what you are doing wrong, rather than what you are doing right. They will make you feel stupid for being who you are and giving your all. What is so wrong with loving someone on a higher level. Loving someone the same way that you would want to be loved. You know who you are, and what you can offer. There are people out there who will appreciate you, and even the weirdest parts of you. Its weird, I have had a few guys get into my inbox on facebook asking for photographs of my foot. One even went so far as to offer me money for poses. I'm so confused on exactly how one would pose with their FEET. Like do I take a picture with the sock half off? Throw up gang sign

Rings of The Lord

I grew up in a household, where Harry Potter was forbidden or anything that resembled "witchcraft." *sigh* True Harry Potter fans know that is not what the movie is like. Even to this day, my mother cant stand that i watch fantasy movies like that. We were all gathered around at my house, I cooked pancakes, eggs, bacon etc for my brothers and their wives and my mom and I. We were all watching Lord of the rings together as a family. My mom took one glance at it, and said is this Harry Potter, we all replied NO. like how dare you get this confused? She said, wait, I know what this is as she sat down. This is The Rings of the Lord. I seen it on Tv the other day. Mama: Which part of the bible is this from? Me: Revelations * I side eye my family, as they snicker while they eat* So she sits down and watches the movies with us thinking this is a Movie about Jesus. God be with us lol

L.O.S.E

Sometimes it's hard to put goals into motion. There are a lot of variables out there that contribute to why we have a hard time trying to find motivation or a reason to wake up in the morning. Sometimes it may feel like you lose out on experiences or things other people may have. Or you see yourself being left out on trips or invites. The first thing you do is blame yourself, or consider yourself a "loser." Like what is it about YOU? That repels everyone from you. Why do people choose not to text YOU back? Why do family and friends continually ignore you? When is the last someone checked on you? Like your well-being. We are a whole, are the quickest to be cliche and tell others, we are always here if they need someone. But then we find we are too emotionally invested in other peoples problems and are tired of them having problems because we face our own. So we force, that friend, who we said they could count on us for, to seek help elsewhere, whether i

Push Down insecurities

One of the many perks of being a woman is our bodies. Don't you just love doing physical activities and realizing you aren't wearing the correct bra? I go to a boxing class once or twice a week depending on my health, or plans. One of the things my coach continually repeats is to "Keep it tight," meaning to keep your hands and arms boxed in and as close to your body as possible for protection. He always shouts this out at me, but I don't think he takes in the consideration that my chest stands out like 8 inches. Like coach, trust me when I say, my elbows are touching my chest, they best friends. Or when I am in a cycling class, and I'm sprinting on the bike. Like you see a lot of women that want bigger breasts and invest in push-up bras, but they really need to make push-DOWN bras. Like did you know there is a high percent chance that women will not work out, due to not finding a good-fitting sports bra, and are embarrassed by their breast movement and s

HEB

One of the most beautiful things in life, in my personal opinion, is the art of cooking. I love to Cook. During the Hurricane Harvey aftermath, I was staying in Manvel with my brother and my sister in law. On occasion, I would have to drive through Alvin, and I realized I needed to stop by HEB. I wanted to make spaghetti, something quick and easy since I was at work for nine hours and had a two-hour commute to and from work, due to the relocation. I had never shopped at the Heb in Alvin before, and I could see why. It was very dimly lit, and it looked sketchy from the outside. The inside was even worse because they didn't have all of the ingredients that I needed to make spaghetti. SPAGHETTI, one of the least complicated meals almost anyone could make. They didn't have any meat such as ground meat, Italian sausage or meatballs. They didn't have the packets of seasoning mix to put in spaghetti or garlic bread. I was so pissed, like what the hell did HEB stand for? Here E

What You can't Have

We have all heard the saying, "I always want what I can't have." I believe that human nature has increased our chances of survival. We tend to accomplish things, and we want more and more, sometimes things or people that are not likely for us to have. In other instances, we are continually chasing happiness. Sometimes we see that other people have something that we don't and we believe that is the solution to our unhappiness. Or it could be that subconsciously we know that item or person is out of our reach and it makes us want it even more because we know we can't have it. The human mind can be weird at times. Sometimes our wants, do not need an explanation and sometimes they do. In psychology, this thought process is referred to as the Hedonic Treadmill. It allows us to keep wanting to achieve throughout our lives. https://positivepsychologyprogram.com/hedonic-treadmill/ . Sometimes the lyrics to the song "Waterfalls" by TLC can real

Cruise

"Baby you're a song, you make me wanna roll my windows down and cruissseeeee." Every time I think of the word "cruise" I think of this song. They say that a cruise is one of the cheapest vacation options "one" could have. They don't mention that a cruise isn't meant for "one" person. If you want to book a cruise, you have to book for two people. Sucks right? So you could end up paying on average $212.80 per day, per passenger. So for a five-day cruise, it could be up to $2,128.00. For that price I better see Jesus walk on water. Why can't they offer cabins for just one person? There are people out there who would love to go on vacations on their own, to reflect or just because they might be single or have no one to go on a trip with. Society has a tendency to behave like you SHOULD be in a relationship. People have too much interest in other peoples lives. They have too much time to gossip, and they are obsessed with "
