Good Friends

By |

To obtain a good grasp of “self-preservation,” the sincerity of self accountability and self responsibility are two essential factors required to have a somewhat healthy relationship with ourselves. Within the growth cycle of our youth ages where we began to overlook the severe facts that were being taught and accepted them as being pressured into doing the right things in the correct way the, “cleaning up of our rooms,” the “taking out the trash,” the “cutting yards,” the “washing of cars or trucks,” and even the “helping the elderly and or neighbors” without seeking some kind of remuneration for our services only because our consciousness veered into a state of curiosity. That’s exactly when our choices become determinations, and the determining factors of what? As we venture into the “what abouts” the storms of life raged and hit us with miraculous ideas and upon these ideas came acquaintances in which come with their ideology  that’s intriguing as well that leads us into becoming associates. Within the terrible terrains that all existence is playing on there are those that just can’t or won’t recall the teachings of “play nice” and “fair” only because whatever is nice and fair to one just might not be considered nice and fair to the next individual.

Backbone

By |

One thing about backbones. They rarely develop a consciousness that they are a backbone. Take white women, for example. We don’t realize that we’re the backbone of patriarchy! Or that we willingly or unwillingly support the whole structure that oppresses our fellow bones, ligaments and muscles that would be Black people, any people of color, Native Americans … Fellow women of all descriptions.

Coffee Shop Discrimination

By |

There’s a coffee place that discriminated against a deaf person I know and called the police on her because she couldn’t hear. The staff told her she had to come in to order and when she did they called the cops because she was taking too long to order and holding up the line. I will not be buying my coffee at this establishment anymore. I can’t say the name, but it is a chain and it is a famous chain where everybody gets their coffee. It’s expensive coffee and you walk up to a window and everything.

My Chair Has More Than Nine Lives Like I Do

By |

In the last four years, my chair has been hit 14 times. Not all of them were presented to the police and not all of them sent me to the hospital. Some people took off before I could get a license plate number or anything. Some of them I was able to block before they took off. The problem to me is that a lot of people are in a hurry to get nowhere out there.
