Easy like Sunday morning.

Yall. If you find yourself mad and the person you're upset with doesn't seem to care, more than likely, you're mad at nothing or that person really doesn't care about you. The answer to both scenarios is to simply move on. Don't waste moments of your life being mad about something that doesn't matter nor should you spend moments of your life on people who don't care about you.

 Life is truly too short.

Be easy *T.I. voice*

I talk like this cause I can back it up.

you know... 2014 is proving to be a strengthening year for me. I lost a baby... cousin. he was STILL a baby, doesn't matter if I didn't give birth to him. He is TRULY missed. Every single day. And I didn't even kick it with him every single day. I made it out of a controlling relationship. (GLORY!) My granddad's cancer is still aggressive as ever. Andddd ABC Family stopped running Twisted, but Switched At Birth AND Pretty Little Liars are STILL going strong =/ But it's NOT ALL BAD, I conquered my fear of water yall! I was lost at sea for 7 WHOLE days, not really lost, but I was on a cruise and I had NO CONTACT with anyone back at home. I was dying a slow death yall. lol BUT I maddddeeee it! Andddd I received confirmation of my gift, I also was granted a job in my field TWO months after graduating!!!!! Most recently, I've started teaching 4th grade math... *crickets* I'm the girl who REFUSES to do simple math in my head, JUST BC I NEVER have to take a math class again... now I'm teaching GCF, LCM, Fractions, percents and all that other junk! And as of today? I applied to graduate school.

I guess, this is my dissertation, homie this $%# is basic, welcome to graduation... good morning.

I graduated from undergrad December 13, 2013 (THANK YOU JESUS!!!!) and I always knew I'd attend graduate school, I just didn't know when. I'm an avid procrastinator and I'm really unmotivated to take the Graduate Record Examination, most affectionately called the GRE. Well, exactly ONE month after I started the application.... I've finally submitted it.


Nowwwww, I have to take the GRE.

Ya girl will have a Master's in 2017! HEYYYYYYYYY!!!

Enlightening charmer, sent from where? A Casanova, lovely glare and I was chosen. I was there.

So recently I ran across this post on IG (follow meeeee) and it got my gears a turning. It's so easy to talk a good game, but how well can you back it up? 

I'm always weary and skeptical of charmers. A man who seems to have it all together, talks as if his intentions are pure, a smile that makes you melt, taps into your inner wishes and speaks as if he shares them and wants to make em come true? That's a man I want NO parts of. It sounds crazy, but hear me out. This man runs this game on EVERY woman. It probably gets him exactly where he wants to be, laid up next to a beautiful woman post coitus with another pretty notch in his belt. And where is the woman? Lost, dazed and confused. Wondering where she went wrong. He said everything she wanted to hear and she felt safe, comfortable even. 

The man for me is thoughtful and understanding in word AS WELL AS in deed. He acts upon romantic impulse in a nonverbal way. Sure, "hey beautiful queen, would you like to join me for an evening of unscathing mischief, childish shenanigans and a shower of compliments?" (heyyyy, let a girl dream okay? lol) sounds delightful. But how delighted are you when you realize, he never really had a plan? Just the words to get you to where he wants you? wrapped around his romantic sounding finger.

Now, once again, hear me out! Not all men who SOUND romantic are up to no good. I'm a skeptic, but I'm also a hopeless romantic *le sigh* I believe in EVERYONE until I notice a pattern or have a reason to believe I should keep my head on the swivel. I pray about everything and worry about nothing. Love life yall. Give love, receive love, be love <3
