I Don't Understand Why Things Are This Way

It is what it is.

I Don't Understand Why Things Are This Way

I don't understand why? I don't understand why things have to be this way. Why are things so complicated? America and the way people think. The growing ignorance that submerges this country is remarkable. I don't understand why cops think they can kill unarmed and falsely accused people. I don't understand how people can say racist things on the low and out loud. The idea that your sister's boyfriend is black does not give you the right to say the word. I don't understand how we can attempt to build a wall to keep needing people out? So what they come illegally because their hometown is threatening to kill them? The only jobs they have "taken" are the ones Americans don't want. At least they are willing to work for what they want. Americans just sit around and complain expecting God to work miracles.

Now, don't get me wrong there are Americans who work their butts off to make a change and to strive in life but as always we are cheated out of the system because somebody cheated the system. Speaking of the system, it's totally screwed. The fact that people can hijack it and never face jail time is disturbing. For instance, a black and white man robs a bank the black man gets life in prison maybe even the death penalty while the white man gets 15 years of probation. I don't understand. I don't understand how's there are thousands of children in need and stuck in the foster system to be lost and forgotten. I don't understand how the government can tell people if they are poor or not. I just don't understand. I don't understand how a father can grave a taste of a daughter or a son. I don't understand why people can't understand LGBT rights. I just don't understand America and its society.

In honor of Mother’s Day, I have been thinking of all the things my mom does for my family and me. Although I couldn’t write nearly all of them, here are a few things that moms do for us.

They find that shirt that’s right in front of you, but just you can’t seem to find.

10 Reasons To Thank Your Best Friend

Take the time to thank that one friend in your life you will never let go of.

Thank You on wooden blocks

1. Thank you for being the one I can always count on to be honest.

A true friend will tell you if the shirt is ugly, or at least ask to borrow it and "accidentally" burn it.

2. Thank you for accepting me for who I am.

A best friend will love you regardless of the stale french fries you left on the floor of your car, or when you had lice in 8th grade and no one wanted to talk to you.

Do as I say, not as I do.

Your eyes widen in horror as you stare at your phone. Beads of sweat begin to saturate your palm as your fingers tremble in fear. The illuminated screen reads, "Missed Call: Mom."

Growing up with strict parents, you learn that a few things go unsaid. Manners are everything. Never talk back. Do as you're told without question. Most importantly, you develop a system and catch on to these quirks that strict parents have so that you can play their game and do what you want.

"Friends" maybe didn’t have everything right or realistic all the time, but they did have enough episodes to create countless reaction GIFs and enough awesomeness to create, well, the legacy they did. Something else that is timeless, a little rough, but memorable? Living away from the comforts of home. Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!
