Don't Throw Shade

Don't Throw Shade

Ladies, I am just going to throw a scenario at you really quick and I need you to be completely honest about how you would react. Matter of fact, the true question is how would you truly FEEL? So you are walking with your significant other and you see them consistently glancing at the female who just passed, will you have a feeling of anger, discomfort, jealousy, or intimidation? It is expected and routine for the female to get a little furious, and feel a little uncomfortable. However, what most people don’t know but notice is that one of the most common feeling is intimidation. Unfortunately, intimidation is an exceptionally usual and daily feeling within females, especially in this generation.

Intimidation is a huge factor to the drama, misconceptions, and hatred found in Wesleyan, cities, high schools, and really any and everywhere. Like usually, people judge you by what they see and not the qualities and characteristics you possess. When I say people, I am referring to the great number of females who engage in this petty intimidation mess. This feeling is expressed frequently and freely without the scenario daily (very too often).

Instead of complimenting, commending, and acknowledging another females’ pulchritudinous appearance we tend to judge, degrade, offend, and hate on them. Why is this? Clearly, the reason behind this is not because of confrontations, arguments, and true beef but because they are intimidated by the others’ existence. Once they illustrate these behaviors, the rate of rumors, stress, fights, and irrelevant drama tends to elevate excessively. Arbitrarily, this particular folly spreads from the hater to the haters’ friends and generates a more massive crowd. All that animosity and genuine distaste is exposed for no reasonable reason, but simply because you feel some type of way about something that another person cannot control. Sounds ridiculous once you look at it like this huh? I know it does, but it is this simple and sad.

As females, we will never be able to unite happily, until we get over this “hating” pattern. If we practice embracing, accepting, and encouraging the beauty of one another, we will promote positivity and reduce the chances of drama. DO NOT HATE ON THE NEXT FEMALE BECAUSE OF QUALITIES YOU DON’T HAVE OR WISH YOU HAD MORE OF. TRY TO ADD LIGHT TO ONE’S BEAUTY AND NOT THROW SHADE!!!!!! WE ARE ALL BEAUTIFUL WHETHER ONE WANTS TO ADMIT IT OR NOT!

Singing is something I do all day, every day. It doesn't matter where I am or who's around. If I feel like singing, I'm going to. It's probably annoying sometimes, but I don't care -- I love to sing! If I'm not singing, I'm probably humming, sometimes without even realizing it. So as someone who loves to sing, these are some of the feelings and thoughts I have probably almost every day.
