What do People Want?

Sometimes I ask myself this question, well to be fair I ask myself this question a lot more than not. In the midst of everything you realize everyone wants something different. I have heard psychologist say everyone wants to be loved but do they really! Or when they say just simple things like everyone wants to be surrounded by good people. Does everyone really want to be rich?

I honestly don't believe everyone wants the same things as we think. It’s like the moment you think everyone wants to be happy but at the same time they are drinking themselves to death. Maybe they have their favorite fast food and they love it and even though it’s not nutritional, it’s simply processed food that’s what they want! And to be honest most people know what alcohol does to them but if they want it they want it . PERIODT

I've learned in life what people want is what they want sometimes they want it because someone else had it. Sometimes they want it because they couldn't have it. Sometimes they want it because it's all they have ever known. But one thing is for sure when you want something you stick to it until you get it, or you really never wanted it at all. Sometimes you want it just to say you had it and once you have it you don't want it anymore. Humans are so strange, and I don't think I'll ever understand but everyday I'm almost certain every human asks themselves What do I want!!??

Happy Adulting,

Imitation of Life

It’s funny the twists and turns of this thing called life. I feel like we are all just here winging it and even when someone gives us a blueprint or sets it up for us it's still never easy. I mainly think it's not easy because of all of things like the conditioning and the brainwashing that comes from society. Life is so fleeting and to think we worry almost our entire lives about love and money and some of us just worry about the basics or bare minimums a place to lay their head at night. You know when I lived out of my car for a week one time, I never realized how much I took taking a shower for granted. I called this blog The Imitation of Life because it was the name of a movie my mother introduced to me! It’s about a mixed girl who could pass completely for white, but her father had disowned her, so she only had her black mother who looked after her. She hated her mother for being black but at the end of the movie when her mother dies, she had a complete meltdown on

Romance is it Dead or Alive ?

Well, well, well here we go!!!! I can literally hear everyone screaming its DEAD 😵 Too many women I know struggle and even men are struggling with the idea of romance. Maybe the problem is that we see it as just an idea and not something we truly want to implement into our relationships. Love is a VERB. I can’t remember the last time I was getting into a car and the man held the door open for me but to be completely honest I feel like that may have happened three weeks ago when I was hopping into my Lyft with this guy who likes to play my boyfriend on occasion, and it felt awkward. I am pretty sure it felt awkward because no one ever does it. When I think of romance, I think about the movies I have watched over and over again that show guys that are hopelessly in love and go to hell and back to make sure the girl realizes how much he wants to be with her. Flash into reality really quick the IG DM ugh or tinder not my particular thing but a lot of people are Tinder, Bumble and Hinge

Finding peace in a storm ☔️

Isn’t it crazy when you think of all the things that adulting throws at you??? The world we live in has changed so much over the last 10 years and I am so glad to see I am changing with it. One thing you don’t want to do is stop changing. Not changing and growing alone can cause an environment that will be toxic to your mind and soul, and it will spread a negative example. I compiled a short list of things we can do to help find peace in a storm. One of the best ways that we can find peace is by meditating and starting our day with a mentality of being able to give and receive. Giving knowledge and receiving knowledge. And trust me I get it when no one wants to hear everything will be okay or how do you even focus on peace when everything is so chaotic. I can’t lie that is hard. But learning to navigate hard is where you will actually find your peace. It’s such a weird perspective but if you think that when everything is easy that’s when you will find peace then you will be so h
