Social Networks




I don't have a creative title for this one. I just figured that would get straight to the point...

I AM BEGINNING TO LOATHE SOCIAL NETWORKS!




And I mean this. Yes, they have made people more accessible to me but that have butchered everything else. I no longer understand human interaction. My thoughts and actions are being consumed by my standings on these sights. And for what? An extra follower? What does that really matter. Honestly, it's not my job to keep you entertained and if you really found me entertaining why don't you just hang out with me in person. I feel that the reason I don't fully understand people is because I am being cut off from them. I was never taught how to properly communicate because society was too busy keeping me technologically savvy! Children are learning improper English because they rely so much on text, facebook, and twitter.

Mind you I have a phone with unlimited text, a facebook page, I tweet, and I started a blog because I wasn't able to say what I needed to say via a pen and paper which is why I feel that I more than capable of speaking on the topic. I have become a slave to these websites and I find this very unfortunate. I use them to in essence berate myself. It's just another way that I can see how don't compare to others. And this is not what life should be about. What does it matter that someone's Avatar picture is prettier than mine, or that someone has thousands of more photos than me?! Does that mean that they are a better person? I would like to think not. I need to give these sites up. My younger sister just deactivated her facebook page because she realized that it was a distraction from her school work. And I was shocked when I first heard this. Then I quickly became irritated with myself! Why on earth would I would be surprised that my younger sister was proactive about completing her school work? That just doesn't make any sense. I need to take a page out of her book!

Maybe it's time I departed from facebook and twitter....

Could you Speak up? I can't hear you.

I have always had difficulty standing up for myself or voicing my voice as the young folks say. Speaking my mind and expressing my thoughts and ideas terrifies me. I'm not confident in my opinions and often worry that I'm wrong. These thoughts are only heightened by my ever present anxiety. I'm constantly overthinking and concerned that no one wants to hear what I have to say. To me, my thoughts don't matter to anyone other than myself. My voice often shakes and gets quiet when I'm trying to express myself. I am either worried that my opinions will harm/offend or will go unnoticed. There are several moments over the course of my life where I regret not speaking up or saying something that was on my mind. There is a constant internal struggle that happens every time I faced with a moment to express myself. More often than not, I end up silencing myself. Which I can openly admit has done nothing for me.  All I ended up with was a nagging regret that I should have sa...

Ode to Ann Arbor

In about 4 days I will be saying farewell to Ann Arbor. And like I said before I'm excited to be going home but there is also a saddens that surrounds my move. I have done a lot of growing, changing, experiencing, and evolving here! So to have to say farewell to all of that is going to be difficult. I will miss: 1. Second Baptist!! I learned a lot about myself at this church. I am glad to call this my church home because without them I would probably be a hot mess! The one thing I can say faithfully is that my journey with them is not over! There are still things that need to be done here I will be back! 2. My friends!! I have met so many different people here. Some that will never leave, some that kept me entertained during class and others that I have drifted away from. But they all had a part in Michigan experience. 3. Gamma Delta! I have been through a lot with these young women and couldn't have asked to be part of a better, more productive, or more illustrious chapter!! T...

Right place...Right Time

God sure does work in mysterious ways! I know people say this all the time and it can get kind of old...until it happens to you! I was supposed to work today but my "big sister" had to have surgery and needed someone to take care of her for most of the day until my was able to take over the reigns. At this point I'm freaking out because I hate calling off work. For most people this isn't that big a deal but to me making a commitment is a big deal...and plus Direct Loans wants their money! BUT I also didn't want my "big sister" sitting alone not able to take care of herself. I decided to call off work and stay with her. This turns out to be a good thing. While I'm with her a woman she attends church with stops by for a visit and is asking me all types of questions. We begin talking about how I just graduated from Michigan and that I was taking time off before applying to grad school. I told her I was working at Trader Joe's.....and then she offers...
