I have a question..

America has been dealing with some serious societal issues as of late. The education system is on a downfall, Congress is fighting against the current President, President Obama is being disrespected by every facet of the media, inner cities are virtually imploding on themselves, the environment is being ripped apart by markets, America's use of oil continues and has the potential to ruin the economic system

AND....

PEOPLE HAVE THE NERVE TO B WORRIED ABOUT IDRIS ALBA PLAYING THOR IN A MOVIE!!

Are you serious!? I won't state my opinion on the matter because it's irrelevant at this time. My friend sent me an article discussing the situation today and after reading it I sat down and read the comments. And I was astonished after being being called a Nigger one night at school by some upset white people and then reading those comments there is no way people can tell me that racism doesn't exist still in this country! The comments people made were astonishing. From what I thought Thor was a Nordic God but apparently there is some European Pagan Religion that I need to brush up on. So I won't speak too much on that...but from my understanding he was a God and just because he was portrayed as white does that mean he really was? Again not the point....

I just can't believe that people are so focused on this movie that Domestic and world issues get swept under the rug. I just had to get that off my chest.

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...

You Passed

Remember when I said that I was going to be more diligent about posting and keeping everyone updated on what was happening? Yeah, I don't remember that either. As of September 5, 2017, I am officially a PhD Candidate. That means that I sufficiently convinced my three person committee (all women might I add) that I know what I'm talking about and am somehow capable of writing a dissertation. This a HUGE deal. Anyone who has gone through, started or completed any amount of work towards a doctorate knows just how stressful this portion of the program is. There are actually no words that will sufficiently explain how large this achievement is. *As you can tell, this post is LATE. And I do mean late. I've been a candidate for months now. Forgive me.*

You're A Non-Mother F*cking Factor!

For those who don't get the reference in the title, let me introduce to you Evelyn Lozada!  I know 'reality television' is the farthest thing from reality but this is by far one of my favorite 'reality' TV moments. It summed up her thoughts and feelings so concisely . It was a perpetual mood that I aspired to for a long time. I know the next question any logical person would pose is, why? Why would this be a perpetual mood I wanted to attain? For years I have lived in my head, afraid of my own voice and sharing my thoughts and opinions. I envied those that could "pop off" and voice their voice. I wanted to be able to say what I needed to say, how I wanted to say it, and without remorse. As I've continued to grow, I have learned that this attitude is not what communication is about. Being able to dismiss everyone around you and say everything the way you want to say it is not effective.  "Cussing everyone out is not self care...
