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...

2. Where did you come from/how did you arrive?


Is this one of those prompts to look inward to see where you come from - being more an emotion and not an actual place. For instance, I am from melancholy and now I live at content lane? Or is it genuinely asking, if so I am from Houma (born and semi-raised) and after a breakup I now live back in Metairie after moving to Baton Rouge for two years. (filler years as I like to call them). Now I am here and wanting and planning to move out of state next year. I guess that's it?

OKAYY, back to regularly scheduled chats, I did not enjoy that prompt too much. I did not know whether to be fake deep or keep it real. I kept it real lol. So, I went to work as one  who has a 9-5 does. I am a paralegal and I hope to leverage this experience to become something....I have jobs or corporations I want to apply to once I get closer to my goal of graduating. I also cooked Rao's pizza. This week I am going to Houston for the weekend and I probably won't bring my computer. :-( I am reading several different books of varying subjects:

  • living for pleasure: an Epicurean guide to life by Emily A Austin
  • The Hour of the Star by Clarice Lispector
  • Master Slave and Husband Wife by Ilyon Woo
This year like last year I have a goal of reading 1 book a month or 2 books (finishing them) but since these books are either long or complex in writing or ideas I have decided to read and if I do not hit my goals at least I know I did read something. I need to keep a better list of books I read and how they made me feel. Also give a good synopsis so I am able to recommend books to people like an Readers' Advisory Guide almost. I also attempted to color but ehhh lol I need new coloring books lol. (as always)
