humanity
For better or for worse, relationships reveal the core of the human condition.
The Three Kings
Prologue: Ordinary People “Heroes are ordinary people who make themselves extraordinary.” -Gerard Way ♛ The night howled with strong gusts of wind, threatening to knock over trees that had been standing strong for decades. Despite the weather, a boy no older than thirteen took cover behind a hedge as another burst of wind shook the branches above him. He untied a sweatshirt from around his waist so that it wouldn’t drag in the dirt, then got down on one knee.

8 Manners You Should Be Practicing
Growing up in the South meant one thing — manners were instilled in me from the time I could walk and talk. I try my best to remember the things I was taught and shown throughout my life and to use them as often as possible. It seems as though many people, especially in my [millennial] generation, have forgotten what their mommas taught them! Remembering your manners allows you to make a good first impression, and to come off as someone who has their life together and who really cares about the people around them. Practicing these common, but often forgotten, manners will make sure that you come off well to anyone and everyone.

Life
Do you ever have moments when you look at a little kid and see the excitement on their face over a new toy, pots and pans, the first snow fall or even a paper origami boat? Something that can be completely random, yet, they still have this twinkle in their eyes and a grin from ear to ear.

Lack of Self-Esteem: My Biggest Weakness
One of the definitions of self-esteem is self-respect. How can we respect ourselves if we are constantly accepting the leftovers of a relationship? Or if we think the tears and pain someone brings to our lives is excusable just to say that we are in a relationship? And I have been to this place so many times, where the little was enough as long as I could tell people I had somebody.

If the Black Man Is a Dog... the Black Woman Is a Bitch
Every day I see posts calling black men dogs, deadbeats, liars, ignorant, fakes, phonies, swindlers, and more. They are degraded like no other, and to make matters worse, it comes from black women. The same women, that claim to be the backbone of the community, yet they snap that bone in half, cripple their men with words and still expect him to walk upright. We raise our children on this premise, we go to the media with this rhetoric, we salute, support, and praise movies and shows that make this their theme. Yet we turn right around and want the love, respect, adoration, praise, and honor because we are women, because we bear their children, because we are black.
