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...

I wanted to end it with love but then the sentence would not have made sense. Okay, I know I said I wanted to talk about Transcendentalism but I think it is too late in the evening and I have to find my Emerson poetry book. Also I think have Thoreau book somewhere but I do not know if it in my possession or in my mom's house in Kenner. Okay so wassup? I finally got my running insoles so starting tomorrow I can start running. Also I have a gig for a Bingo Hall tomorrow to earn some extra bucks also an interview at the YMCA which are only Saturdays but money is money. I want to be more financially literate  and I think starting with having money to pay for bills like groceries or my womanly maintenance would help me save money in my check. I also want to start saving for a car because I eventually want to start driving. Also I am going to plan my trip to DC for October start looking at hotels and airline tickets. I want to spend time to see if I can imagine myself living there.


To circle back to my "womanly maintenance" quote. I have a goal to be more "feminine" which I know gender is performative but I want to get my nails done, get my lashes  AND EYEBROWS done and my biggest goal for the rest of this year is skincare!!! I am tired of having hormonal acne, it is my biggest insecurity after my weight. I also just put in a request for spironolactone treatment medication. I am going to budget my money to get facials two times a month and buy certain supplements to help with my androgen levels. Omg I keep stopping because I keep getting distracted but I wanted to get this post out before midnight. We can end it here tonight.
