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...

An Emotionless Man...

Image
Is not human.     He is a depiction of who society wants him to be. Is not normal.     He is a fiction character out of books you read and movies you see. Is not at fault.     He simply does not have a price to pay, any flaws or mistakes. Is not real.      He's consequently the boss of his own life he takes and to himself, he gives. Is "not filled with emotions"       He's robotic like emojis and refuses to emote his emotions to mean what he says and feels. He is an Emotionless Man and he is less than the man you would want to be with. In today's society, men are taught that they cannot show or have emotions or feelings. If they do, they cannot display it; they "must be stronger than every other person in the world." They might not always verbalize this unsaid and conditioned rule but it is well known amongst the male species. They are not taught how to balance or manage their feelings but bury it under th...

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...

Stop Pride 2019

Image
It's a movement!!!! First off, HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!! With a new year, comes new responsibilities to self. One responsibility I promised myself to keep is to STOP PRiDE! Yes, small "I." This is a new movement, a new challenge that I think I am ready to accomplish and I hope to inspire you to join me! There's just one thing... how can you stop something that you may be blind to?!? OUCH! That hurt even as I typed it. Pride will have you completely blinded by YOU! You are and will stand in your own way without even realizing it. So let's tackle this together: what is Pride (and no, not the film). "Pride: a feeling or deep pleasure or satisfaction derived from one's own achievements, the achievements of those with whom one is closely associated, or from qualities or possessions that are widely admired." Most also know pride to be our ego. It is the thing that tells you that you are right and justified for feeling the way you feel about somethi...
