The Power of the #Selfie Stick



IS THERE POWER IN A SELFIE STICK?!?!?

                                     

                                             


Yes!! There is power in the Selfie Stick!

When I first got a Selfie Stick this past Christmas I was excited! It was not as popular as it once was but it began getting mainstream again around the time I got mine. EVERYONE was on their social media pages saying they received a new Selfie Stick... myself included! My new toy helped me discover a newfound confidence I forgot I had! Here's why:

I'm an ambivert! Sometimes outgoing and sometimes shy meaning I do NOT ask people to take my picture. I know, I know... and I wear the cutest of slaying outfits but I am too shy to ask other people to take a head to toe photo of me. Even I get self-conscious when posing for pictures that others are taking for me but it's mostly because I am conditioned to do it too!

I don't mind taking pictures for other people and I have been conditioned to the self-awareness outbursts such as "oh my, face looks fat," "my eyes look weird", "do it from this angle", etc. There is nothing wrong with these comments. I have heard them so much, I tend to say the same things but decide to not ask other to take my slaying pictures because I rather avoid that.

NOW with my new Selfie Stick, I can take as many pictures and redoes as I would like! *sounding like an infomercial*

There's power but I find empowerment in the stick. I know its just an object but we give it power and influence. I know I do not need a Selfie Stick to step up my selfie game, get full body pics, etc. but I choose to use this tool to help me display my confidence. If you find yourself in the middle of your confidence level one day, take selfies and see how much better you feel :-)

sincereLY,
AMC

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...
