Too Prideful

When I was younger I didn't want any help from anybody. I thought I could do everything myself. Well at least, I tried to do everything myself. I wasn't trying to be Too Prideful when I was younger. I think the reason I was/ I am Too Prideful  is because of my disability. I don't hold my disability as an excuse, I'm just saying that it was and it still is hard for me because I think some people in society think that people who have disabilities can't engage in normal activity like people who don't have disabilities. I was thinking that when I was younger and that stuck in my head for the earlier part of my life. I'm twenty five years old and I'm still growing and people need to let me grow. What I mean by that is that some people in my life want to constantly remind me that I'm being Too Prideful . I don't need that because I'm learning and growing . Learning and growing is essential to the function of our lives. These two ingredient shou

Playing on Someone Else's Turf/Field

Over the course of the weekend I was thinking and I got super excited about this post I'm going to share with you guys. Have you guys ever thought that society thinks that money should marry/date money? I might be off base here but I don't think I am. For example, an accountant who works for this big firm or corporation and the guy who's interested in that accountant works at a family dollar or grocery store as a bagger, the accountant makes more money than the bagger. Do you think that accountant is going to look at the bagger the same way as a person who makes almost the same as the accountant? I don't know but I guess it all depends on the individual as well. I think we need to squash this mentality because Love isn't about money, it's about being truly happy with your partner. Some of you guys might say You don't know anything about Love, you're not even in a relationship but I watch a lot of Lifetime movies though (lol). Another example is if I

People of Influence

I went to a Mark Battles ( if you don't know him, look him up) concert a few summers ago with my cousin and when the performers hopped on stage, we were rocking. Then I slapped one of the performers hands and to be truthfully honest with you guys, that action I did with the performer felt empowering. I felt really good about that interaction even though it was a brief second. I don't have any beef with celebrities or public figures who have lump sums of money but I feel like society deems them the only ones who can influence our generation but I don't think that's true.  I think the only difference between public figures, celebrities and the rest of us is our bank accounts. It's funny but it's the truth. Celebrities and public figures who are in the public eye/not in the public eye have surplus money I would say. What if all of the money that these celebrities and public figures have suddenly disappear. What then? I think We all can be people of influence, g
