Stop Complaining in 2018!

I believe prior generations were so busy trying to get their just due that they didn’t have time to COMPLAIN ABOUT EVERYTHING. Publicly complain, privately complain, LABEL LABEL LABEL. By the way, if you’re reading this you’re probably thinking, well she’s complaining right now. YES I AM. ABOUT US. So it’s fine.

I just really find it to be a complete waste of our time. Dope ass Eleanor Roosevelt once said” Great minds discuss ideas; average minds discuss events; small minds discuss people. “. Let me clue you in on something that you think you know, but you have forgot about it.. CELEBRITIES ARE ACTUALLY PEOPLE; TWITTER, IG, AND FACEBOOK are filled with people. So.. by Mrs. Roosevelt's quote we have allowed intelligent people to become simple minded. Do you really care how fat Rhianna is?(MIND YOU SHE'S NOT FAT. Would it matter either way??)  Or is it just a distraction from the purpose of your life.

Sometimes we can allow the simple annoyances in life to take us away from more important things. If you have loved ones think about how much time you spend with them, are you in the moment focused on them? Enhancing your energy by being present in a positive thought process. Try actually being happy for a friend or associate who received a big win, instead of assuming that they are fronting for the gram. (If you went to Thailand wouldn't you take pictures!?! )

The irony is, we whine about a lot of things that if we put effort in, we could probably change. A lot of the time the whining is a deeper seeded issue based on issues we are really facing but too afraid to deal with.

I’ve drafted a list.

  1. You hate your job (GET ANOTHER JOB)
  2. You hate your coworkers (IGNORE THEM MFS)
  3. You spend hours of your day male bashing, female bashing, timeline hating, timeline stunting-Stop it Fam (Kanye Voice)
  4. You are displeased with your size and wonder why your back hurts, your stomach hurts, or why you're always tired. Perhaps you should workout, go on a diet, consult a physician,  a therapist, check out why you stress eat or stress starve yourself)
  5. You wish that you had more money. GET UP AND HUSTLE. There are literally people on the street in the cold right now selling loose cigarettes! People buy it though. Can you do anything? Can you sell anything? How about you sell some of those whiny ass phrases you have swimming in  your head and put them on a T-shirt? Increase your 401k contributions to your shitty job, don’t blow your tax refund on fucking SHOES and TAKEOUT FOOD, get an IRA, buy some property.
  6. Your credit is bad. SEEK HELP. PAY YOUR DAMN BILLS

Negativity is an overused practice often based on our fears of inadequacy. It's a time filler keeping your from being DOPE. Fear is keeping you from finishing that book(Me), that album, talking to the girl/guy you’ve been feeling for a fucking year. Confront the fact that you’re scared as fuck and keep it moving. DO BETTER. You have all the tools you need, and if you don’t the beauty in living in the information era, is you have access to EVERYTHING YOU NEED. Right damn now.. Do that shit.

The Mary Jane Syndrome

The Mary Jane Syndrome By Kesia King Being labeled a "strong black woman" used to be a badge of honor.  A "strong black woman" takes on every battle life throws her way, while smiling with all thirty-two teeth, wearing 6 inch heels, a brief case on her shoulder, a baby bottle in her right hand a spatula in her left while on the phone listening to someone else's problems, when deep down she knows that she's actually the one that needs to be laying on somebody's couch, airing it all out! It's funny because a couple weeks ago when I threw this particular outfit on, I was dealing with some internal struggles myself.  Now, add in my homemade, bone straight wig, red shoes and matching red clutch, when I looked in the mirror I immediately felt like Mary Jane Paul, from Being Mary Jane!  I can relate to Mary Jane, because on the outside, she always looks like she has it together. If you've watched the show on BET, you know when she walks into a roo...

The Church is Failing: The Young Black Male

This is a taboo subject. That I’ve thought about quite a bit but never had the courage to really vocalize. Courage and fear are funny things because one of them is just as strong as the other, it’s just a question of which one you choose to live in. So today, I choose to live within a courageous light. Why, being a black woman, and an active christian would I have a fear vocalizing my opinion on how black men have been failed by the church? Messages are often misconstrued based on the perception of the reader. Additionally, it’s best practice to NOT add any fire to the flame of those that question institutionalized religion. However, in this case, I think I’d like to get this out with the hopes that some black man, within a particular age, will utilize this post as a reason to do better in reaching young black men. There was a time when the core of the civil rights movement was centered around black men and women within religious faiths. They actively worked together,...
