Quick Inspiration

So I'm a firm believer that any little thing could inspire someone. I just posted a picture on my Instagram (@AyeMmCee) and decided that this would be the perfect opener to my next blog post that I am currently working on.

My caption said: "Who said kissy face, peace signs, and filters were out of style? Was it the same person who said 'Be Yourself'??"

Of course, I'm being myself and being original in this picture (which does not get a lot of likes in today's society especially by my peers which is fine). Social media is another way to "Step out" from the norm.

Those who really thought about my caption and have read my blogs may assume that the "who" in my caption is society. You are correct to assume that. Fortunately, I recognize this battle of societal views versus my own personal views and decide to (of course) go against society. I am okay with the term "rebel" but with being a rebel comes the rebel mindset. I have found myself being mad at my peers for not reaching the same realization as I have but I'm glad to say I have also recognized this anger and is working on fixing it. So I apologize to anyone I know personally who has/had to deal with my rebel side. Regardless, those who have not seen my picture yet on IG or those who do not understand where I was coming from, this post is for you.

"Identity Crisis" post coming soon...

The Chronicles of Racial Battle Fatigue (2017)

(Edited; Originally set to post in 2017) Please keep in mind that this information is based on some facts and from experiences. Do not take anything as personal or as an attack on white people or white culture. Neither do I find myself superior to or discriminatory against the Caucasian race; prejudices and stereotypes may be shared. If you do not know or understand what these words mean (they are often confused with one another), please feel free to ask through comments or simply open another tab/look them up in the dictionary. Here is a message to my white friends: "There are a lot of things I must educate you on but feel as though it would not be worth it. You have made the focus and played victim for so long for issues that do not directly impact you but the fact is you are the problem. I will not keep my mouth shut and honestly, now that I have gone to college and about to receive my degree, I have learned many more things and experiences that I have yet to share w

I Run (for Ahmaud Arbery)

I am a woman in her mid 20's. I have a profound love for the arts. Painting, dancing, live music, movies, you name it! I love life and the Creator of Life. I spend most of my mornings praying, studying the Bible, listening to Spontaneous worship music, cooking breakfast,  and teasing my dog that he can't eat "people food as I can." My afternoons are spent completing certifications online to improve my skills that I can apply to my business in organizational development and event coordination. In the evenings, I have meetings, cook dinner, and my love-hate relationship for exercise, especially running.  I have my family, friends, church family, roommates, and a dog who look forward to me arriving home and being safe... Yet, I am faced with a dilemma. Though these people care about me and my well-being, any of them nor I can change my skin color.  The fact that my skin is black in a society that disapproves of the darker skin race, along with continuous examples of ra

Why We Should Say "Physical Distancing"

Here are some other articles that my post will most likely reiterate:  https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/wired-love/202004/social-vs-physical-distancing-why-it-matters https://www.geisinger.org/health-and-wellness/wellness-articles/2020/04/08/13/47/social-distancing-vs-physical-distancing#:~:text=While%20%E2%80%9Csocial%20distancing%E2%80%9D%20is%20still,from%20others%2C%E2%80%9D%20says%20Dr. *For those who suffer from mental health concerns and have been reserving their peace, this one is for you* I want to shout it on the mountain top...   START SAYING PHYSICAL DISTANCING! In this post, I will focus on the mindset and psychological portion to the best of my intellectual ability and anticipation. Telling (and bullying, which I will get to in another post) people to make sure they are "social distancing" is subconsciously being insensitive. We have to be honest that when we go out in public, we are attempting to keep our PHYSICAL bodies distanced from
