What do I know?... allow me to rant

Well I’ll tell you what I know if you just give me a moment.

I know that I am sick and tired. I’m sick and tired of young women who think that wearing as little clothing as they can will bring them respect and I am sick and tired of the young men that make them believe that. In short I am sick and tired of young women who don’t know their worth.
I am sick and tired of young people who use YOLO as an excuse to act stupid

I know that I am angry. I am angry at the boy at the mall who said ‘nice ass’ to me because I am not a piece of meat. I am angry at the young lady who introduced me as her ‘bitch’ to her friends.

 I am angry at myself for not speaking out at those moments when my womanhood was degraded because it was ‘normal’. I am angry at myself for allowing myself to be dragged to parties where I saw young people going to the extremes which caused me to fear for our future. More importantly, I'm angry at myself for going back to those parties and being part of the problem not the solution. I am angry at myself for succumbing to social pressures knowing very well that I am bigger than them and that a ‘joint’ will get me everywhere besides success, prosperity, respect and the greatness i know i am capable of. I am angry at myself for not detaching myself from my so called ‘friends’ who don’t really give a damn and influence me in ways that are detrimental to my success. I am angry at myself for not being angry sooner because this anger is my light at the end of the tunnel, my wake up call to answer the call to my greatness.

I know that I am fed up. I am fed up with young women thinking that men define their value. I am fed up with people telling me that I should ‘get a man’. I am fed up with young men using women as sex objects and nothing greater than ‘the hoe I banged last week’. I am fed up with young people telling me I'm too serious because I won’t answer the call to ‘bitch’. I’m tired of being told to lower my standards because they aren’t ‘real’. I’m fed up of young women who think that heartbreak is a norm. don’t get me wrong I’m not saying that heartbreak never happens, all I'm  against is actively going out to seek it. I’m also fed up with young men who think that cheating on their girlfriends is part of life’s journey and if you don’t cheat o your girlfriend you have some type of mental disorder. I’m FED up.
