I am bitch and all that come before me

 I am committing to finishing bell hooks this week, I want to start Giovani's Room by James Baldwin. So I am reading bell hooks and it according to me that while I have heard and understood what 'self actualized' means I only know it by my context clues  definition  and not the textbook definition.   Self actualized: means realizing and fulfilling your unique potential, creative abilities and your personal desires. (Coined by Kurt G.) Maslow's hierarchy of needs is a conceptualization of needs  that motivate human behavior. I needed to write this definition because I wanted to talk about what I am reading and I did not want to discuss without knowing what I am talking about.    "Young women want to embrace the "hard bitch" image because it keeps them from having to confront the pain that comes when females are pain that comes when females are punished for choosing to be self-actualized and successful."  What we do think, are we embracing...

6. Who is responsible for your mother's suffering? + my idea for a research topic

 I think my grandmother and I think my mom b/c she refuses to go to therapy. Also her dad and my dad. Also her pick in men. Also her siblings and life (for some things.)

    I did not like that prompt only because I do not want to place blame on anyone. That is why it is so short and I do not think about the suffering of others in that manner because I am not emotionally aware in some aspects. This month my goal was to find a therapist and I did not do it. I reached out to one of them but they had a waitlist. I will give myself to the end of the week. I ended off my last blog about friendship, Transcendentalism and Beat Generation. However, I want to touch on the topic of my research class for the summer. Forgive me these thoughts might be scrambled but I want to see it in a written (kinda) format. I watched an Op-ed piece from NYT about life sentences. I started to think about the 8th amendment and how long is too long for a crime and when does it become cruel and unusual punishment (which is an opinion) and which type of sentences have a higher rate of recidivism because the lack family support or because of the lack of resources. I do not know if that is a good topic or even a topic that can researched but I will try. I might have to make this a short blog because of the time. I want to make sure I am getting at least 8 hours of sleep. Also, I did not work out today but I managed to eat under my calorie count and I am going to drink two scoops of my protein powder. Also I am going to try to read for a bit since I was able to do homework. I got my final grades back 1A, 1B and 1C (wish makes me wish I would have done the extra credit) I almost want to beg her for the the 3 points lol. I hope my scholarship is not taken away. Also, I want to touch more about what I like to read. I like classical literature, but I want to get into more murder mysteries because I did read one and it was exhilarating.  I love the idea of helping the narrator solve the murder and I would like to get better at figuring out 'whodunnit' before the author. Apparently Murder She Wrote was easy to follow. I am going to end this now because I am getting sleepy.
