6 Things I'm Tired of Hearing About Marriage

    As a married person, it's rare to hear positive affirmations surrounding marriage. Whether you're looking at tv, your social media feed, YouTube, or even listening to co- workers you're destined to hear negative speech regarding the institution of marriage. The reasons vary for these bias ideas, but I wish people would consider a few factors before filling your ears with non-sense that may only apply to them or people they knew. Everyone's relationship is unique to their personalities and beliefs. People marry for different reasons and start or never start families based on what's best for them. People marriages also end for different factors. If you had a bad marriage, it doesn't mean someone else will.  However, this is the real world and rationality is usually not a favorable trait amongst us humans. Anyway, here's a general list of 6 things that I hate hearing about marriage.

1.) All People Cheat- Until the whole world allows this study to be conducted, let's stop the false narrative. 

2.)  You're too young/old to be married- You can't legally be married in the US without meeting certain age requirements, and who are you to dictate when someone should be married?

3.) MARRIAGE IS JUST A SHEET OF PAPER- Just stop! It's a lot more involved in marriage than a marriage certificate. 

4.) Married people want to be single- If a married person wants to be single, then they leave their relationship eventually, but to assume all married people want to be single is ridiculous. 

5.) Monogamy isn't for humans- Then is it for animals? Stop trying to tell people what they want in their life. If a couple chooses monogamy, then obviously they want to practice it.  If they believe in polygamy, I I doubt they'd hide it behind being into monogamy. 

6.) All married people want to swing- This is just not true, some people aren't into threesomes or orgies despite how many movies and celebrities glamorize this.

What's Wrong With Black Women?

         Many people don't like labels. They say they don't like to be categorized. I listened to an interview of one of my former childhood role models Raven Symone and she discussed how she didn't feel like an African American fit who she was. She discussed how being categorized made her feel limited. This comment sparked controversy as well as other racial commentary she has made in the last couple of years. However, I pondered if I was offended. At first, I immediately was offended because all my ears heard was that she doesn't feel like she's a black person. After all, she publicly identified as black at the convenience of black households supporting her movies, clothes, and other Disney ventures. Then, I thought about what else she said and I realized I don't like labels either. I don't like the categories America shove blacks in or the stereotypes that follow. These labels are the only mainstream exposure our white and Hispanic counterparts know abou

Back 2 School Expenses You Didn’t Think About

 With schools back in, a lot of parents have been buying supplies and clothes to prepare for the upcoming school year. However, pencils and glue sticks may not be as expensive as you think compared to these items. Here’s a list of school expenses that it wouldn’t hurt to be prepared for: 1.) School Pictures: If you have multiple kids in school, this easily adds up to a nice amount of money. Although they have a basic package, purchasing two or three will certainly add up. Not to mention most schools have fall, spring, and class pictures taken. By the end of the year, you’ll be surprised how much you spent on pictures alone. 2.) Field Trips: It’s free to sign for, but it’s not free for them to go. Field Trips are a fun interactive way for kids to experience what they’re learning about but it comes at a cost. Varying by location and gas spent, field trips end up costing parents significantly as well. 3.) Teacher Appreciation Day I know it’s optional to participate and there’s even the op

I grew up going here and can't wait to create new memories with my spouse and kids. 4.)Universal Studios: I'm such a kid at heart and my husband knows that we have to take an exclusive trip here without the kids so I can spend the day in lines riding as many rides as my stomach can handle. 5.) ATL: My husband and I have an extensive list of places to visit in the affluent city of Atlanta. Definitely can't wait! 6.)
