Do Not Go Gentle Into That Good Night

The justice system system worked as it was supposed to. This system repeatedly has allowed situations like this to become the standard, and we've grown accustomed to it. That is how insane this is. "doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results."  Albert Einstein 

I want to scream at a machine that teaches, that a black male or female is beneath you. I want to scream at society for systematically excluding black people of African descent, born in the United States from having a real voice. I feel entrenched in a caste system, that will never change. 

But I'm going to quietly be disappointed and understand that it's a rape culture. The same way we breed our daughters to not do things so they won't be raped, instead of training our sons it is not ok to rape, we will continue to train those constantly victimized, to be better prepared for their extinction, rather than extinguish, by any means necessary, those that will euthanize what they truly can't control.

But I'm going to implore everyone to vote, get educated, and get healthy. I'm going to continue to prepare my daughters. 

CONFIDENCE IS KEY

I used to be an emotional eater. When I had too much on my mind or I was feeling upset about someone or something, I would eat. The comfort I thought it provided, only gave me inches around my middle and even more emotional and physical discomfort. Now, when life weighs heavy on my mind, I walk. I find the fresh air is good for me and the movement gets the blood and creative juices flowing. As I walked through the park today, worrying about not reaching my goal weight, in time for Mexico, I said fuck it. I eat right, and I exercise everyday. I know there are challenges with gaining a more healthy lifestyle and I'll work on it at my own pace. I'm not going to wait to be happy while doing so. I'm going to be awesome anyway.
