Someone had to Say It!!

Women's rights!! Women all around the world have never been seen as equal. In the fifties women stayed at home and did all the housework and raising the children. Then there was a women's movement, where women started entering the workforce. We as women worked mainly for the big man, something that hasn't changed. It is 2016 people, women work just as hard as men, sometimes even harder, because they get up in the morning with the kids, get them ready for school and get them off to school with breakfast in there stomach's and lunch in their backpacks. Then we get ready and we head into work, we work just as long as men do, sometimes our kids are put into after school programs. We give them rides to their after school activities, come home with dinner magically on the table. We help the children do their homework and get them ready for bed, after the children are in bed we clean up the kitchen and then, FINALLY we get our free time, but guess what now WE ARE TOO TIRED!!!

Here is where things must change, guess what, we do all this without being asked, why? Well someone has to do it... and I can't say that no man is willing to do this. There are some men in this world that understand this because there are single fathers in this world.

Those people that don't give a crap how women are treated are the one's I am speaking to. Let me just say when you don't notice all the hard work we do it makes us mad. Then you go and say wow she is a sassy piece of meat. I just recently got out of a situation where I felt like I was being treated differently because I was a female. I was doing a lot of work and nobody was listening to me when I had good ideas however when MY ideas came out of a male's mouth all of the sudden they were put into play. I'm getting fed up with being treated like a piece of meat with no real good ideas. As a lady we don't get acknowledged as smart or someone with worthwhile ideas.

Let's just talk about the music video's out there, i'm all about looking sexy and feeling pretty. However I have to draw a line when it comes to being treated as just another booty to chase. Hello, I have feelings I have a soul and a brain, i'm not just long legs, I really don't have a booty or boobs. But the teenage, young adult girls who are practically wearing swimsuits EVERYWHERE showing off their everything is not helping the situation.

Yeah I know this post was kind of all over the place but, I recommend next time when someone starts treating you as if you are just another piece of meat with nothing else but body features, challenge the standard. Show them that you are more than just boobs, butt's, legs, whatever else. I dare you, and when they return with some degrading comment just look them in the eye and tell is that what you would say to your momma!!!

Fight for Love!!

Yesterday I was listening to music on YouTube and I came across this new song by an artist I was familiar with, so I listened to the song. As I was listening to the song, the song became very interesting to me. See I am one those people who listen for the lyrics that are catchy and a good melody and a good beat. The song is called Rock Bottom by Hailee Steinfeld featuring DNCE, it's an amazing song, with a good message behind it. It's about a relationship where they are constantly fighting and making up, she is getting frustrated because she feels as if that is all they do. One of the lyrics is, what are we fighting for? In this post I want to talk about relationships and the truth behind the concept.

Relationships, the concept of falling for the one person who "complete's you". When first finding someone the could be your potential one in a million, it's a head over heels moment. The rush of falling in love, after about six months that "high" has faded and all that is left is reality. Normally once the high has left, differences arise and fights become more and more common. This is where the relationship get's tested, the test is to see if the two of you can figure out how to solve the issue together and work as a team. I may not be an expert on relationships because the longest relationship I've been in was about three weeks. Although I am very observant and I have learned from many others. Also I know a fairly good amount about working with people, being a psychology major you learn a lot about the human brain.

How do you know when you have found the one and only for you? Well my advice is to stick with it, if the fights are intense but no matter how intense those fights are the two of you always seem to keep coming back to each other, that's when you know that things are real. You know it's got to be real because no matter how mad and angry you get at them, they are still the only person you would rather be with. After every fight the best thing to do is to wait, breathe, think, and go back, fight for love don't fight them. Fighting is a lot like stress, it's supposed to build you up, especially as a couple. Fighting makes the bond between the both of you stronger, because it makes you realize what you are really fighting for. Your fighting for each other, fighting to stay together.
