When Actions are Deliberate
Actions are sometimes deliberate. I had a bad experience in 2017, where I saw an atomic bomb clairvoyant metaphor in my head before walking into a building far away from home in another neighborhood. This is a symbol I now interpret as saying; there will be drama inside the xyz location. But back then; I was a naïve 36 year old whose parents had just moved. I was going to get a free guard card class, but I realized the drive had caused me stress. I was going to go that meeting to prove I was badass but also my stiff knee hurt. I have a knee injury from yoga class, its' much improved at this time in 2020, but I've been healing from this injury since 2016, March, and I have to take it easy still. Anyway, my point in this article is that some bullies are deliberate about what they do.

My first name is not in fact Rhea, it's actually Leanne. It's nice to meet you, if you're reading this! The title, though it's not something I've ever said before, is a valid statement of my life at this very moment - I am indeed on a search to find myself. I turned twenty-nine years old just two days ago, and I realized quite suddenly that after years of indulging others' needs and wants around me - I never stopped long enough to take note of my own desires, and my own goals and happiness.

Leap year and Sadie Hawkins day
Sadie Hawkins origin Most people assume that Valentine’s Day on February 14th is what makes the second month of the year a time of romance. There is another event that takes place in the shortest month, but only comes around every four years. On the 29th of February during Leap Year there is a special occasion that young people may not be familiar with. This auspicious observation is called Sadie Hawkins Day and once upon a time it used to be quite a big deal. Sadie Hawkins came from the mind of cartoonist Al Capp in his classic hillbilly comic strip Li'l Abner. Many baby boomers grew up reading about the escapades of the hillbillies on weekdays in the new paper on a page that was just for comics and was known then as the funny papers.

Winter Extraordinaire: Christmas in Park City, UT
May all the best wine in the world flow into your cup… A brave man took on the task of teaching my Mom and I how to ski this winter. What a sight we must have been; arriving late, fumblingly in our clunky ski boots and extremely frazzled to our ski lesson. By the time we got to the meeting place I wasn’t sure I desired to learn to ski anymore. But then we met Jon, our ski coach. A man that could be mistaken for Santa Clause minus the beard; John met our frazzled state with a much needed sense of peace and overall enjoyment of the snowy mountains surrounding us. On the whole, the Park City Ski School team did a fabulous job assuring us that everything would be just fine and ushering us up the mountain, leaving our present worries and anxieties to the wind.

What if's
What if's are a natural part of any relationship, it's the part you analyse most after you said something you shouldn't have or accepted something that was said to you after the fact. And truth is you will never know for sure what's real because you don't know what happens behind closed doors, conversations with themselves, or other people. actions they take to themselves or with other people.

Light Skinned vs Dark Skinned. Now This Is Bullshit.
Why do black people discriminate against themselves? Light Skinned vs Dark Skinned, I didn’t know this existed until I joined high school. Girls were shocking when picking on others about their complexion, to me this just was strange. I had a girl approach me and ask me if I thought I was beautiful just because I was light skinned. This left me perplexed, never had I walked around feeling any more beautiful because of my complexion. I always knew no matter your shade, your black and we all fit together as one. Growing up as a black girl no matter your shade or race we respected each other, well at least that’s what I thought.
