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 "Society Norms."

Society is organized around the family unit since when you are not in a relationship you tend to stand out from others. They justify it by stating you need to make sure you have a replacement for the next generation.

Very rare do you hear people putting the importance on why it is good to stay single, for a certain amount of time. Or why it could be good to learn to treat yourself and find out what YOU like. Taking trips on your own, gaining independence and getting habits out your system that won't work when you are paired with someone else.

Psychologists claim that Single people are more fulfilled. Single people are more connected to family and friends, whereas relationships or marriage tend to make two people, insular.

My point is, don't let people or society make you think that you need a relationship, RIGHT NOW. Take care of you first, learn how to love yourself. A lot of people feel like they need to continually be with someone else and that isn't normal.

Once you learn how to love YOU, you will know how to love others and never settle for anything less because you'll know your worth.

I've always wanted to go on a cruise, but I've seen so many Final Destination movies, and read up on trips that went bad, and it has made me paranoid. I also can't swim, and I'm like 6 foot one. Have you seen an anchor float?? It would be The Titanic Part two: Urban Legend with me out there. Like Mrs.Doubtfire said, "They outlawed Whaling."

All jokes aside, I think everyone deserves a vacation. Whether it is a stay-cation or an actual trip away from everything. I would highly recommend going to Colorado, I heard the experience there is Unbeweedable.

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

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

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
