Pretty much been MIA on this thing for a whole year, but no big deal..
Tumblr always comes in clutch at the random times I feel like expressing myself (because I’ve been over thinking about life nshit)
It’s too crazy how I can look back at my life and see how things have changed. From all aspects of my life, whether it’s in school (4th year btw), in work (new job, new internship), social life, personal life, people in my life, etc. Just everything. God is always working on my life. I like to compare my life from where it was before to the present a lot because I believe the journey is what makes life what it is. Everything I’ve been through and experienced is what makes me. I don’t even know how I’ve made it through some things, but I always know I’m blessed. (and) I’m still not where I want to be but I’m not done living yet. As long as I’m living, I’m always trying to improve myself. I honestly want to give my parents the world and be content. That will be the day I can die happy. Knowing I made it. Because everything I’m doing now and everything I’m working towards is not only for myself. That’s something you need to know about me. I do it for them, first and foremost.
I guess this post was half expressing my random late night thoughts and half reminding myself why I stay motivated. Thanks for listening, Tumblr fam.
recognize the progress you have made.

George Zimmerman was arrested today for “felony aggravated assault with a weapon, misdemeanor battery-domestic violence and criminal mischief.”
Why?
He pointed a gun at a white woman.
Let me be REALLY clear here: I am white, and I am a woman. I am not, in any way, shape, or form, saying that domestic violence isn’t a massive fucking problem. I am not saying that Samantha Scheibe wasn’t absolutely right to fear for her life, call the police, and press charges. I am 100% on Samantha Scheibe’s side—but the point I am making is not about her.
This is a man who, as I’m sure you can all *recite* by now, saw a black teenage boy named Trayvon Martin walking down the street, at which point Zimmerman followed Martin in his car, called the police, stopped his car and got out, taking his loaded gun with him, to follow Martin, and shot him to death. Martin was walking home from the store with Skittles and an iced tea.
Shot him to death. Police couldn’t give a shit. They let him go. You all know the rest of the disgusting story, racist story.
The guy points a gun at a white woman? He’s arrested, booked, and held without bail.
C’mon, FOX News, hold another fundraiser for the guy’s legal expenses!
I DARE YOU.
