***This post was inspired by a show called The Quad on BET. Specifically Episode 8. As well as my bf stating that a woman shouldn’t dress in short skirts and dresses to escape rape….***
Why is it that someone who NEVER experienced RAPE always has something to say???!
It’s one thing to be empathetic, definitely sympathetic!
But to open your mouth and say something so absurd that makes you look disgusting!
If you have not experienced RAPE then you should be careful what you say!
You’re not even expressing hurt or pain about the situation but is yet DEFENDING the situation over a piece of fuckin’ clothing?!
Men in 2017 really got their heads screwed up!!!
The older men, really got stubborn ways of looking at life….well SOME.
RAPE IS:
“unlawful sexual intercourse or any other sexual penetration of the vagina, anus, or mouth of another person, with or without force, by a sex organ, other body part, or foreign object, WITHOUT the consent of the victim.” – via Dictionary.com
RAPE IS NOT:
Unlawful sexual intercourse or any other sexual penetration BASED ON THE TYPE OF CLOTHING one wears without the consent of the said victim…. Continue reading
So lately I have been seeing many self esteem videos and people who lack thereof and I just can’t shake this off.
It made me think about the one thing most people ask, but don’t ask the right person.
Am I good enough? Or was I good enough?
But to whom?
Right now, I’m talking about to the parents.
As a child you are just shaping who you want to be. You work your way up to “what you wanna be when you grow up” and you look up to people.
When you become a young adult, you are still exploring life as brand new changes occur.
As an adult, you become wiser as you age and look back at your childhood and it’s like looking through a magnifying glass or a crystal clear mirror.
If you’re anything like me, you had the parent that was verbally abusive. Always yelling at you for no reason!
Then again, everyone’s childhood is different. I wish I had the 2 parent household with a home I can grow up in and just be a child. One can dream right?
Sooooo you push yourself to do better, to become better! To show them that you are better than what they see or what they once were. Some never notice though.
It’s refreshing to see SOME children these days act their age. They are in no rush to grow up, just being their cute little selves.
However, there are some that just won’t budge when you tell them what to do.
Nowadays there are some, not all…parents that have to work twice as hard to show their child that they must be respectful. Oh My!
I watch some children that enter my workplace and they speak to their parent as if they control their mom or dad. What!?
Girl: “Dad you must come now, I have to show you something. It’ll be quick. You can come back for that later.”
Dad: “In a moment, hun. I promise.”
Girl: “Dad! I said right now. Hurry up!”
It’s sad, but their little voices make it funny to hear. I shake my head at the madness and disappointment.
Children these days are cursing at their parents, singing along to the new Chris Brown & Tyga song and more, screaming, demanding and even saying adult sayings such as
as well as:
and it is not cute!
I was raised to ask for things and if I didn’t get it, I didn’t scream or throw temper tantrums.
I simply went to grandma :D. Lol Just kidding! Although she was my favorite, she spoiled me! Continue reading
I never thought I would see the day that I would become a mentor before I had kids of my own.
I didn’t think I was worthy of being a mentor. Why you ask?
Simply because I didn’t think I had it in me. It sounded like a full time job that I wasn’t ready for.
I would ask myself, how can I be a mentor to someone when I don’t have my own life together?
I was about 15 when I thought about this. I saw many people with mentors around me.
I knew I wanted one….but did I want to be one? No not really.
Until…….
2014! Yes last year! It happened on it’s own! Upon my re-arrival back in NYC….Yay Home! I revisited these two beautiful little girls that I haven’t seen in about 3 years. They are sisters as well. It feels good to see them again. No they aren’t mine!
They are awesome, although I must admit sometimes they are too much to handle! Geez. Haha But seriously? What kid isn’t? Annoyance is apart of every child’s vocabulary.
I enjoy the laughs though. Kids are the cutest beings on the planet.
I guess I should mention that they are 4 and 10.
I love them to death…..for real!
I see myself as a regular human being, making it throughout my days/weeks.
One day the 10 year old started asking me questions such as “Hey Karen…When you were younger, did you have technology?” Of course I told her “no and I prefer it that way because I learned so much” Continue reading
