The Spirit of Wakanda

This past weekend I saw the sequel of Black Panther and it was better in my opinion than the first one. I'm not discrediting the acting abilities of anyone in the first Black Panther. And before I begin my passionate writing, rest in peace Chadwick Boseman.  Both Black Panthers have a sense of community and lineage that can't be broken even though some enemies tried to dismantle the country of Wakanda but NO ONE succeeded. What I mean by community is that the people of Wakanda stick together regardless of the consequences. What I mean by Wakanda having a sense of lineage is that they respect their ancestors, they listen to their ancestors and elders, basically they respect and know where they come from. But that doesn't mean, the people of Wakanda don't know where they are going presently and for the future. I would also say that the Black Panther movies have a sense of nurture vs. nature. The people of Wakanda display nurture by having mercy on their enemies. As well as helping rebuild after attacks on their homeland. You can also say rebuilding their homeland is a sense of community.  The people of Wakanda display nature by drinking the Black Panther juice (I think that's what it's called) to fuel themselves to have great strength. Also, Princess (Chadwick's sister in the movie) uses science to help her homeland survive via Vibranium and they use Vibranium in the Black Panther suit to use in combat. I think we can all learn from The Spirit of Wakanda including myself because if we unify as people instead of having division, WE ARE BETTER AS NATIONS and AS PEOPLE.

Life

Life is what you make it. I get down and out because of some situations in life but I know God has me and I will be victorious in all things. I also love inspiration. I love people who inspire me and I love to inspire other people. When this inspiration happens, it's a non stop cycle of inspiring and I love it so much. My former college I went to, Mercyhurst University slogan is carpe diem which means seize the day. Seizing the day is so essential if we want to fulfill an accomplish or meet a goal. Connecting and networking with people is also so essential in life because these networks will hopefully develop into long lasting friendships and partnerships. Last night I watched this film entitled Demolition and it was a very good film. The main character, Jake Gyllenhaal found a boy that eventually became his best friend. Life is very precious, take it day by day and you never know who you are going to meet along your journey.

Respecting & Includement

I saw a TV series called Speechless on ABC and this episode was very good, especially for people who have disabilities and even the people who don't have disabilities don't like a certain word. The word is retarded. I don't like this word because somebody in high school called me that. When people say that word I always cringe up or I say don't say that. My family had a discussion about this and I just say don't say it at all. Another event that happened during this episode was when all the kids went to prom. There was one girl who was taller than the other kids at their school and JJ who's in the wheelchair started dancing with her. JJ realized she wanted to feel included so he included her. In high school, I felt excluded ( maybe partly that was my fault) but the point is that he included her because she felt excluded. Make somebody feel included, not just today but everyday. Don't exclude somebody or a group of people just because they are different from

Don't let others/things to dictate on how to live your life

I'm currently involved in a situation and the situation is I messaged a girl on Facebook and the message was very personal and I told her to not share it with anybody except me and her. She shared it with people on campus. I should've known this but I'll know next time. I'm not mad at all, I've made peace with myself with the whole situation. Now people are talking around campus but the main lesson I got out of this situation is to no let my insecurities hinder my happiness. Even though people talk about me on a negative aspect but I know God is greater than any hate that you face. I also know that He will never will leave me or forsake me. I can't let things or people upset me to the point that I lose my own set of morals, values and most importantly, Sanity .
