Why Can't We Accept Our Personal Blessings?

Tis the season to be jolly fa la la la !

*laughing uncontrollably at myself*

I'm so corny. I really think that song is funny.

That's another story...

Today I come to you as your friend, your fellow peer, better yet as your sister.

So bro & sis, let's chat...

This has been on my mind since I've entered college and have gotten super engaged in social media. I've come to the conclusion that our generation is so superficial and so engulfed in materialistic things. Unfortunately, this isn't everybody's life behind the iPhone. Behind the lens, we are struggling to pay for this and that but on Instagram, Facebook, Tumblr, Twitter etc. it's all about the look.

What's wrong with living in your truth? What's wrong with living in your struggle? Now if you're not struggling and this is your real life then this doesn't pertain to you. May you remain blessed.

To those who don't think that they are blessed....

Bro & Sis,

YOU ARE BLESSED. Blessed to be alive, blessed to be able to live a life where you can enhance yourself each and every day you're here. Don't let others on social media, school, wherever discourage you. Just because you don't have the latest this or that, or even a Mercedes Benz. Hell, you have a Nissan Altima and it runs just fine. Recognize what you do have and acknowledge that God has brought you life every time your eyes open each morning.

To conclude, don't let social media fool you. No matter how little you have or how much you have God can take it back in an instant just like an instant message. Be grateful, be humble, most importantly you are blessed.

Bro, sis, what you think? Let me know.

- Your sister from another mister.

Now that it seems “talking” is the new way to date, and will stay that way until another idiotic term is used to describe the people who can’t settle down and just date someone, I feel as if it’s time to go over the unwritten rules of “talking.”

Rule 1. Having feeling without feeling.

I've lived a whole 21 years with an RBF (Resting Bitch Face), so naturally, I go through most of these struggles on a daily basis.

And before you ask, yes I'm fine. No, I'm not mad. This is just my face, so take it or leave it! To those of you who have been #blessed with an RBF, you'll probably relate to these more than you'd like to:

What's up Asshat,

I've composed a list of things that I wish upon you, and they're harsh and cruel. These things are things that I wouldn't wish upon my worst of enemies, not even that Starbuck's barista who always screws up my order, not even him. You fall into a whole other category of hate. You surpass Starbucks barista. Congratulations, I'm actually a pretty nice person, making you worthy of every single bit of torture I wish upon you. What are these things I wish upon you you might ask?
