At what point did females forget their worth? What tragic event caused so many females to lose sight of their strength and confidence? I'm beyond tired of seeing women, of any heritage, walking with their eyes to the ground, being okay with being called a b**ch/slut/ho/etc. And these outfits!? Ladies, do you know that by showing EVERYTHING, you've already shown a guy all that you have to offer? Or that if you aren't respecting yourself, you can't ever expect a guy to respect you? What's even sadder is that good women are at home either single, or being cheated on, while the bad apples are treating the few good guys in the world like crap and thus creating even more bad guys....anyone else realize this ridiculous cycle? It's as the old saying goes, "Hurt people, hurt people." What sense does it make to hurt someone new because someone old hurt you? It isn't their fault. Not everyone is the same.
Back to females...where are our positive role models? We are now stuck with Nicki Minaj, Alicia Keys (yes, she's on the bad list now), Kim Kardashian and Beyonce (over-rated). A barbie doll (eventually those get old and thrown out), a home-wrecker (yes, i consider it home-wrecking when you can't wait for the ink to be dry on a person's divorce papers before you are planning a wedding with them), a liar who is unhappy with her looks and does anything to stay in the spot light, and...another liar who will do anything to stay in the spotlight and isn't as classy as she claims. Just my opinion, don't really care if you agree with me. I would love to have more women, who are widely recognized, especially black women. It's aggravating being put in the same group of loud, obnoxious, ignorant people who won't do better because they think they can't, or are too lazy. Where are the Maya Angelou's, Sojourner Truth's, Harriet Tubman's...hell, where are the Oprah's?
There is no way to advertise that one is different, and most people don't want to take the time to find out, thus begging the question: how does one stand out without seeming desperate? Live your life, keep the faith and follow your heart.
Random, but...that's the machinations of my mind. Until next time...
Keep your head up,
The Phoenix
