Does generosity indicate weakness?

Just to point out something: This post is just an opinion of a topic I have thought about lately. It is something that I contemplate often times because I view myself as nice, and at times too nice. To me, it is almost sickening that I cannot relinquish my worried mind about being too giving. However, instead of ranting about me, I want you to deem this point of importance -- generosity does not conceal your beautiful soul. 

There is so much to fawn about an even-keeled temperament toward other people. You try not to overstep your boundaries. You occupy your mind with the right words to say when conversing with someone. You literally feel frozen at the inkling of what it means to present yourself around others; not to give any vulnerability or sign of discomfort. Ultimately, there are many thoughts that ruminate in your mind, but really it is too difficult to formulate the words to say without hesitation. 

Basically, I would like for you to think about this thought: stop worrying and keep living your authenticity. If someone may presume you intend for ulterior motives based on your genuine kindness, then confront or reconsider why the conversation has a basis. And if the conversation trivializes your kindness, and certainly causes you to question your generosity, reconsider why that someone needs further room to talk to you. You are capable of what you desire for your life, and that includes your needs of feeling sufficient even as a nice person. Do what makes you feel worthy. Do what makes your heart sing. Dance around a room, sing a song, write a journal entry, draw an intricate illustration; however, more importantly, do what you feel makes you happy, even if that means some may feel uncomfortable. Ultimately, if you live to appease others then you just exist.   

Be the truest you that you want to be; envelop your generosity into a bow and present it as you see fit.  💕💕👏👏

Stamping the Pathway: Women Plant Historical Marks

Personal note: Just to start, the topic of Women’s History Month is challenging, to balance the message and relevance of this piece, because of the fact that March has gained recognition as Women’s History Month, dated back in 1978. Throughout the course of history, an abundance of women mobilized during experiences, instances that confronted adversity based upon gender, race, sexual orientation, socioeconomic class and other classes within the societal umbrella. Respectively, many compassionate women acted as trailblazers even as many contenders questioned their integrity and intentions. However, it is certain that many women remained persistent and pushed the limits to share awareness. Another personal note: as a plethora of women have declared and acted toward powerful moments of our history, they have transcended above the fray. Personally, I admire women who defend their rights as they strive for a world of equality. From Jane Fonda, Oprah Winfrey, Gloria Steinem, Madeline Alb...

University textbooks prices can get expensive

Students who attend already know there are many expenses to pay off such as loans, tuition, room and board fees and to top it off, dreaded textbooks. Obviously, buying college textbooks can be essential for college students while enrolled in courses; however they may view buying textbooks as a penny-pinching experience. A vast majority of college students would agree, buying textbooks for classes can be a hassle; but many of us do it anyway. When professors assign textbooks for courses many students comply because they should help us learn coursework and pass classes. Although a main con of buying textbooks is sky-high prices, are there alternative resources when purchasing them? The answers maybe just near our fingertips. A few resources upon suggestion: The Chegg website is a textbook website where textbooks can be rented and shipped to a mailing address. It could be a good resource considering it allows students to rent textbooks and then mail them back to the sender. Another w...

The Inevitable -- Original Poem

It was meant to happen Someone or something unexpected  It interrupts you, discourages you It was meant to happen It has changed you, your life It has made you live for more Someone or something that was meant for you You yearn to know the reason But it remains unknown, hidden It was meant to happen It confuses you, frustrated you It has angered you, enticed you Made you feel defeated But you never gave up You strived to learn more You remained persistent, never gave up It was meant to happen Someone or something unexpected has occurred to you Don't let it go You will know it soon enough It was the inevitable
