Being positive constantly is far from easy.
It takes willpower, determination, and constant reinforcement. But - Make that attitude change, and you’ll never regret it.
You ever have one of those days...
where your normal routine doesnt go as smoothly but its not necessarily considered a shitty day, however it makes you want to stay inside and away from the public? Yea, Its one of those days.
what would you really do if the world got worse?
would you still have kids?
still go to school/work?
would you fight?
what would you do if you realized you couldnt really change the system?
I like deep conversations.
The ones where you can just sit down with one of your close friends and completely spill out your thoughts/feelings. Like how you’re doing, what may be currently bothering you, what’s stressing you out, etc. And the best part, getting feedback or advice from that person you’re talking to that might actually understand what you’re going through. It makes me feel less alone, and happier that I don’t have to keep bottling up all of my emotions.

The shooting death of 17-year old Trayvon Martin occurred February 26th, but his story has been dominating headlines for the past week, catching the attention of political figures and celebrities alike. Irish singer Sinead O’Connor took to her blog to passionately speak out about the teenager’s untimely death. No U Ain’t Radio definitely respects Sinead for “tellin it like it is…not like it was.”
Read O’Connor’s open letter from her website and let us know what you think:
Every now and then I get overwhelmed....
with the realization that I will forever be considered a second class (maybe even 3rd) citizen in my own FUCKING COUNTRY.
Then I just fuck it and get back to my normal life. It just sucks that you gotta be on high alert all the damn time to avoid getting persecuted, judged, and possibly even murdered for innocuous things that White America takes for granted.
Hey! thanks for the follow. I hope all is well. I really dig your blog ... you wouldn't believe the drivel I been reading as of late. Well don't be a stranger -L
No problem, I appreciate it! Your blog is pretty awesome! And yea, I understand, I’m trying to weed out the nonsense on my dash too lol
If you resist reading what you disagree with,
how will you ever acquire deeper insights into what you believe? The things most worth reading are precisely those that challenge our convictions.
Go Anonymous and tell me one thing you've been too scared to tell me, but have always wanted to say.
my voice is girly when I talk to strangers
but when I’m with friends I turn into morgan freeman
“Even if all fat people are the way they are due to their bad choices, even if every single fat person is unhealthy, that does not justify sub-standard treatment. How can the health of strangers possibly inspire such vitriol? If you remain convinced that others’ bodies are your business and people must justify their existence to you, perhaps you should consider the possibility that you are an arsehole.”

how much positive energy did you share today?
Your inability to accept someone else's imperfections is an imperfection of your own.
Through past experiences, I’ve learned not to expect much from people.
I’m not a fan of pretty boys. Give me a beard, give me some weight, give me a lil ‘idgaf about my hair’…
The struggle
- Mind: OK, we're ready to tackle a whole bunch of stuff that needs to be done! Let's go!
- Body: Whoa, easy there, Tiger. How about a nap?
