The Unspoken Truth: True Love isn’t all smooches and hugs

Leave a comment
Here goes. Everyday you spend with the love of your life will not be lovely. There are arguments, sometimes you have 2 stubborn people refusing to admit fault. That foolish pride wrecks many a relationships. Not saying what you want from someone can also cause the union to go down hill. Open your mouth sweetheart as a wise blogger once said ” Closed mouths don’t get fed.” How can someone satisfy you, if they don’t have a clue as to what you want.

Complaining does nothing but make you look like a crazy lady that keeps going back to the unhappy place you just said you can’t take anymore of. Yep, that’s what you said!

What can you do to start living a life of love more often?

Communicate: Not scream. Tell your partner what you need. Let them know what makes you happy. I’m you believe that because you spend so much time with your hunny he knows. No sweetie, you better speak now or forever hold your anger. (We know that’s not going to happen.)

Show them what you want: The best way to communicate is to show your partner what you want. Treat him to a nice dinner, card and little gift. Nothing fancy, just a simple I appreciate you. That’s what you want right? A whole lot of small appreciation (BIG appreciations every now and then too)

Point out what’s good: It’s so easy to say what someone is doing wrong. It may take a little effort and thought but compliment all the things he does right. Women have become very strong, guarded even with our feelings. It’s ok to let that guard down to say “Baby, You make some great hamburger helper.” or “You’re really good at math can you help the kids.” Happy women everywhere agree that stroking a man’s ego is the best way keep him happy (And get what you want 😉

Discussion: The Bad Bitch Stage of Life

1 Comment
Leave it up to Chicago rapper Lupe Fiasco to start a debate over the negative imagery used in our highly praised ridiculously shallow rap music video’s.

In my early 20’s I’ve called myself a bad bitch. My curves were on point, my life was about partying and school of course. I was studious during the day but when party time came I turned into a bad bitch. At the time it was appropriate to me. It was fun!

Bad bitches get attention, Bad bitches get the men with money, Bad bitches are confident. Right?

All those things are true to the naked eye. When we dig deeper we understand that Bad Bitches get treated just like any other woman. So the bad bitch has gone out her way to differentiate herself from “Normal” or “Average” women only to get treated the same or worse.

Makes no sense. When you know better you do better. In the black community “Bad Bitch” is a stage that young women go through. Much like the “Girls Gone Wild” stage other races go through. I believe that with proper guidance and education young women eventually grow out of the Bad Bitch stage into a Lady with more wisdom and knowledge to share with her sisters.

Clearly I’m not the one to judge. We all go threw stages in life but the hope is that we grow up. Those where my college years. My time to find myself. (Thank God I found her. LOL)

What about young girls that don’t go to college or have positive young women to counter what they’ve seen on TV or been told?

How can we help our women grow out the bad bitch stage?
