Hello everyone! I hope everyone is doing well. Welcome back. So I have had an interesting week and I haven’t been able to follow my thoughts enough to write something down. And you would think that since I am just starting out I will have a lot to say. I usually take inspiration from life and the people around me. And this week had me surrounded by too many topics. But when I sat down in my front of my computer I had one of those stuck in my head more so than the others. And it was one I have always been interested in. The way privilege or lack thereof effects us. We all live our lives somehow structured by our worth right. Where to have dinner tonight? Or your next big purchase perhaps? How much you really think about it before you pick up something and put it in your cart? Or before you whip your card to pay for dinner? Doesn’t that in some form shape our reaction to what’s going on in this world?

We as a people have certainly lost touch of our emotions when it comes to understanding other people and their problems. Something that might not seem big to us can be an unnerving matter to someone else. Keeping someone’s feelings in mind has become hard and we have become numb and succumbed to a world where its ok to judge everyone around us as harshly as possible and then be hurt when we are treated the same way. Life is uncertain. We all face our up’s and down’s with a different handle depending on what we are equipped with. This is a hard world where I see the privileged being taught talent and the less privileged being forced to forego the talent they were born with all in the name of making ends meet.

We are always searching for a better reality sometimes not within our grasp and fighting against what we have been given. We spend far too much time our children what’s good for them all the while living our lives drenched in hypocrisy. We are doing what we are told is necessary to survive. And while there is nothing wrong with surviving. I don’t think surviving mean’s not living. Our problems will never disappear forever. There isn’t one person in this world that isn’t living with something bothering them constantly. The thing we forget to do is to breathe, and let breathe. Live and let live.

So take a moment out for yourself. Lets stop counting our worth with what’s sitting in our banks or in our garage. Make a conscious effort to laugh out loud, not to let yourself get affected by the words of someone who doesn’t know you. To spend time with those you love and those who love you. Dance no matter how bad you are at it. Lower those expectations. In reality everybody is too busy wondering what they are doing wrong, to notice what’s wrong with you. So, till next time ..

Cheers, Shameless and Unapologetic.
