Angry Black women...

I have recently encountered this comment numerous times in the past couple of weeks! I would say that I am enraged about this comment but I think that this would only assist in the statement. I just don't understand why this is the perception. I would like to think that I'm a pretty positive person. I love being optimistic. I think that there is so much negative in the world and it's easy to focus on that but so much harder to see the good in the little things! I have been really trying to do that. But hearing comments like, "That's why a lot of black men aren't with black women is because they're angry" kills my soul! I love black men and to know that because they assume I'm angry means they won't approach me makes me sad.

Are black women defensive, maybe. I know I am and at times I try not to be but I hate being felt like I'm being underestimated. Some of that may be own personal belief but I can't help it. But that doesn't mean that I'm angry. I am working on expressing my opinion more because for so long I have silenced myself for a long time. I have noticed that now at times when I try to express myself people take it as me being hostile. So it's a lose-lose situation!

I'm afraid that I won't be able to attract the type of man because I seem angry...this bothers me!

Untitled thoughts

After Bible Study last night something hit me; that I have the tendency to be apathetic about things that happen to me in life. I'm willing to just see what happens. Which at times can be a good thing but I have come to realize it hasn't been working for me. There are some things that I need to be more proactive about: 1. My relationship with God. See it's not just enough that I am saved. There is way more to being connected to God then going to church one day a week and telling people that I'm a Christian. While I'm not going to be perfect there are numerous things that I can be doing to strengthen and expand my faith. Beginning with what I do at home. I have always thought that it was possible to just read the Bible once maybe twice a week, pray when I was need of something and everything be OK. This I have come to realize is not true. In order to have the relationship with God that I desire I need to be in constant communication with the Lord. And this has to sta...

#RoadToCandidacy

The moment you've all been waiting for, or maybe not, either way it's here!! As of today at 7:44 am my Qualifying Exams are underway!! That's right, for the next 2 months I will be on locked down writing at least 60 pages in response to 3 questions. Send me snacks, love, luck, motivation, and things to do for fun times (because baby girl will need a break)! Hopefully my depression and anxiety are willing to work with me. With that I am off to get started on Question #1! #RoadToCandidacy

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...
