insufficient
I have nothing left
for men who:
- are confused
- don’t know what they want and/or are NOT actively working towards some goal(s) in life
- try to have their cake, eat IT, AND everyone else’s
- would rather continue being a raggedy mess day in & day out instead of working on being a better man
- flat out, bold faced liars who value dishonesty over truth and honor

My Prayer during Lent
My Lord God, I have no idea where I am going.
I do not see the road ahead of me.
I cannot know for certain where it will end.
Nor do I really know myself,
and the fact that I think that I am following your will
does not mean that I am actually doing so.
But I believe that the desire to please you does in fact please you.
And I hope I have that desire in all that I am doing.
I hope that I...

“I guess, in all of this, I’m crushed by the lack of empathy… but I’m disturbed by how easy we write this off as the “misfortunes of a drug addict,” as if our ‘other’ addictions are more noble. Be it sex, cocaine, alcohol, gambling, shopping, food, video games, Internet or whatever, abusing it (and choosing to continue to use it) after being educated about the negative effects is dangerous....
“If one definition of insanity is to keep doing the same thing over and over and expect different results, another is to keep doing over and over again something that used to work, after the context has changed, and expect it still to work.”

a quote I heard earlier that has MUCH to be expounded upon. #that’llpreach
Me: *turns on radio*
Taylor Swift: feels feels feels revenge shaming more feels you broke my heart and now I'm making a catchy country tune about it yeah yeah yeah acoustic guitar
Bruno Mars: suicidal thoughts and plaid and war zones and gratuitous morphine use pain angst hurt for some reason all my songs involve me unnecessarily dying for you
Rihanna: no one cares what I'm singing about but you can assume it's a shitty metaphor for sex while I gyrate in little to no clothing on fake animals but at least it's stupidly catchy
Every single rap artist: b*tches hoes in da club lots of money she wants the d*ck all these songs are about clubbing and sex and does anyone honestly live this lifestyle outside of music videos
Nicki Minaj: hkjhkjhcw fweljfhwjhddljhd hfojencojen nieukjdh lots of fast talking in a weird accent ha ha ha pop culture reference I'm a feminist with lots of wigs and in case you haven't noticed BIG BOOBS I don't even know what I'm rapping about lol

scary
It is! She looks so….mature! Does that make sense? Like have you ever seen a baby or a child that looks like they already know what life’s about or that they’ve been thru alot already? Absolutely crazy.

I am watching an episode of Oprah’s Lifeclass that I DVR’d about 3 months ago. The theme of this particular episode is that “You hold the power to change your own life.” In this episode, Oprah expounds upon the story of a woman from Africa [which was also covered on her ABC show 3 years ago]….

Riddle Me This
buttahlove:
Why is it called “invisible part” in a weave when the part is highly visible?!?
Because the actual TRACK that creates the part is “invisible” (if that makes sense). I have seen some weaves, that are atrocious. In these cases, you can clearly tell that fake hair is being used to close up the weave. Weaves done right, with a perfect invisible part, you actually...

blackfashion:
1. Thou shall blend. There’s nothing worse than a weave with conflicting textures. If you’re unable to manipulate your true texture to mimic that of your weave, then you should get a weave that replicates your true strands.
2. Thou shall not let thy tracks be visible. You might as well leave the house with a pack of Remy 1B 14-inch in your hand. If you’re unable to properly...

I got paid today.
I used my iPhone app to check my account balance.
When I saw it, I cried.
Hard.
(No, they were not tears of joy.)
I will be the first to say that I have not had a history of being smart or a good steward over my finances. I grew up hearing phrases like “Dont get a credit card!” and “Save your money!” but no one EVER took the time to explain w h y....
