Life is so frickin complex


So much has changed.
I'm...in a conflicted state. Life has hit me so quickly. I graduate in two months, two days to...nothing. No job offers, no apartment. Nothing. When did all the hard work I put into my future have a reward of nothing? All I can say college has given me lately is stress, drama and headache. Nah, I can't lie. College has done more for me. I got to the chance to figure out what truly makes me happy like mentoring and helping people. I also got a chance to deal with my issues when it comes to relationships.
I'm just concerned.
I don't want to go home because mentally, I've outgrown that. But I can't go anywhere else because I have no money nor a job. I've been applying everywhere but it seems I can't seem to catch a break when it comes to actually being a productive brown skinned woman in society. All society sees is negatives which...makes no sense to me. I'm not pregnant, not in trouble with the law and I'm intelligent. I'm not okay with this.
Maybe I'm right to figure out the goals I want.
I'm thinking about getting my masters in Social Work with a concentration in substance abuse counseling and possibly getting my Ph.D in education so I can open my own school. My school to focus on worldwide history as well as culture and knowledge to make my students competitive on a worldwide scale and not just on a national level. To do this though, I need money. Which means job. Which means someone willing to take a chance on me. I'm just ready for all the rest of this to be shown.
My faith is waning.
This is my main problem. Why is it that God allows people who don't care about Him to prosper while I flounder? Maybe I'm tripping and this is all a test which wouldn't surprise me. I'm just tired of being tested. I'm tired of people assuming my Blackness is based on dumb things like pledging a Greek org which is stupid. Why is my identity tied to an org that doesn't care about me in the long run? I'm tired of dealing with people who assume womanhood is tied to my vagina. It's not. I can be a woman without giving every Tom, Dick and Harry the pleasure of my vagina. I don't have to be a ho and risk my future over nothings. I'm just over the complexities of life.

Have I outgrown my hair?

I really love my hair. I do. But honestly, I'm over having to style it and it seems to be stuck at an awkward length. It's such a bother to have to constantly do and detangle and figure out. UGH!!! Maybe I've outgrown my natural hair and need a break from it for a while. Like a long while. Maybe a weave, wig or braids or something. It just has to be nice to keep a professional look while I'm job hunting. I....just...don't know.

Grr

Since everywhere else I want to post to can be found so easily, I decided to use this one being that no one really checks it.
I'm tired of the constant run around when all I want is someone to hold me and love me. Is that too much to ask?

Ugh

While reading Necolebitchie.com I got really upset. Why? B/c as usual, black people are being stupid & stuck on the outside color. Why does it matter about dark skin vs. light skin? We're all people. The comments were ridiculous. http://necolebitchie.com/2011/04/15/selita-ebanks-solange-knowles-cassie-new-faces-of-carols-daughter/#more-129385<----that's the link to the comments smh.

See what had happened was

Hi ya'll!
OK I've been stupid busy lately which is why, unless you're following me on twitter or have my facebook info, you haven't heard much if anything from me. Between arguing with my parents about an apartment, job hunting, school, relationship ish, roommate shade & being a secretary in an organization, I just haven't had much of a minute to sit down and write. I haven't even written a poem in a few weeks. & not only is my creativity suffering, my hair is too. Like today when I went to wash my hair, the amount of hair that was taken out was depressing and I know it's because my schedule hasn't offered much time to do anything to my hair & since I don't detangle unless I'm planning on wearing my hair out but I've been wearing it out anyway and not protecting it, my BabyLove is suffering.
So as I write, I have a cholesterol treatment in. Hopefully it'll help. When I'm done with my washing session, def plan to wear twists for a few weeks because I just don't have time to do much else & I can't keep letting my hair suffer! But I also have to do a trim which'll happen next week & I'll put up pics.
Loves,
Ci

Lesi in the city


Ok this is my friends & I doing our Sensation bonding night lol. This is not the whole group but I def love my hair better in this pic. The lady on my right in the white is a transitioning natural & the lady on my left is in love w/ the creamy crack! Gotta love Pantene ® b/c without them, this soft and long lasting twistout wouldn’t have been possible (don’t judge my phrasing).
Deuce!
