*whistles for me to come over*

Excuse me, but do you think I'm a bitch?

He looks dead at me, baffled as to what I could mean

"Nah I was whistling cuz you look good & I was tryna holla"

I roll my eyes in annoyance 'cause this boy couldn't possibly think I'd give him a second glance

Despite his dope style and fresh fade, he's a little boy that's bound to get dissed & played

See he thought it'd be endearing to catch my attention by whistling

As if that was a compliment when really to me, it was a slap in the face

Nothing but pure degradation

You whistle when you want a dog to come & unlike some, I don't respond positively to gestures not meant for me

I'm a young lady, a bronzed goddess

You may say I sound cocky but there's no need to be modest

I mean why should I be when the pure creation of life began with me

When the bosom of a black woman fed and nourished us to be magnificent like we were meant to be

So pardon me if I am not pleased or don't think it's a "good thing" when you whistle at me

The womb of the black woman bore and raised kings, but you expect me to respond happily to whistles and cat calls as if the very sound of it will make

me fall

To my knees so gracious because you acknowledged me

You noticed me enough to puff up your chest & let out a smooth breath of a whistle

Instead of approaching me like a human being, like the queen I will

one day be

Forget all the noise your boys are talking bout 'cause despite their encouragement, you struck out before you even got to hit it

Before you even got the chance to hear the pronunciation of my name, I crossed you off my list

My list of people that I give even the slightest attention whether it's a coy smile or a friendly mention

See you will not get either

How could you expect anything when you don't even respect her

Now let me teach you real quick how you should've approached her

You walk confidently with such a smooth charismatic stride filled with pride 'cause you know who you are

And you know when you've spotted a black queen even if it's from a far

No whistling is necessary

You'll carry yourself with the assurance of a king

Approach her kindly with a smile & small talk then find yourself asking for her name

You'll be surprised at how positively she'll respond & you didn't even have to spit "game"

You just had to act like the king you are and approach her like the queen she is to show her you're interested

After all, true royalty attracts just that so don't be afraid to act like it

birthday party

My birthday has never been my favorite holiday. I've found that I'm more excited to celebrate my friends' and family members' birthdays more than my own. I don't like being the center of attention, so I usually celebrate over dinner with a small group of family and friends. This way, I can enjoy myself naturally without feeling like I have to entertain everyone and make sure they are satisfied. In the past when I've had large parties, I was so nervous that people weren't perfectly content that I didn't enjoy myself at my own celebration.

College Informations

Most of us have already started the spring semester, and for those of you who haven't started yet, you suck.

It seems like coming back from winter break wouldn't really be a break all things considered, since we all come back to school and pick up right where we left off. We know exactly what to expect, yet we're unprepared every single time.

I'm serious

There are tons of unisex names that are popular: Taylor, Alex, Bailey, etc. There are also numerous names that are used for both sexes, but they’re not seen as “unisex” yet. People are slowly becoming accustomed to the dual use of these names, but for the most part, in their minds they associate certain names with certain sexes. And that leaves those of us with these names in many awkward situations.
