Don't judge a book by its cover.

Don’t judge a book by its cover. People say, “don’t judge a book by its cover” about clothes and stuff but what I am about to write goes deeper than clothes. Goes deeper than style.

Let me first put out there that I am a white, blonde, blue-eyed girl. But let me also say that my skin color, hair color, and eye color has nothing to do with who I am as a person. It has nothing to do with my opinions.

I’ve recently started watching “Dear, White People” and it really grinds my gears. Ah… there you go assuming. You think that because of what I said at the beginning I’m about to call the show racist to white people hmm?  That’s not where I am going at all. People are pieces of crap all humans are. You could be one hell of a nice person but you are still a piece of crap.

Humans have this thing in us where we want power. We all secretly (or not so secretly) think we are better than everyone else. Then everything else. We try to control everything. More so in males but still in women. You want to know how this black controversy started? It started when some jake ass in power decided that because some people didn’t look like him that they should be lower on that food chain. Slavery started happening mostly to black people. There has always been slavery, all our ancestors have been slaves at some point. It was a simple case of him judging someone because of what they look like. He was judging a book by its cover.

Then there are the “terrorist attacks”. A few things happen and now all Muslims are pinned for life because of it. How messed up is that? And the stuff with the damn police. They are shooting black people and white people. For no reason at all. It’s happening to mostly black people and why? Because of their skin color? In this show, the campuses police show up and only ask for the black man’s ID when there was a fight between him and a white man. He stands there shocked then says something and the dang police pulls out a gun. He starts shaking like crazy and takes out his ID. Which he never should have needed to in the damn first place. Again, the campuses police judged a book by its cover. Then there was this that happened in the show. Two black women were talking about how it’s a little messed up that their black friend was dating a white man because people say that black men aren’t good enough and that they need a white man to save them. Which I found so backward because I think that black men are so much better than white men. I find that black men are manlier than white men. My preference is black.


Now let’s get to the part where black people are judging white people because of their skin color to! White people think they are better than black people and black people think they are better they white people. Like how males think they are better than females and females think they are better than males. And we all think that we are better than each other but we form into groups to be a part of something because if we aren’t apart of something we aren’t relevant. Humans are dependent on each other. The whole world is like a big high school. Groups on groups on groups. We all are bully’s. We all need to get our shit straight because it doesn’t matter what our skin color or hair color or eye color or clothing choices are all that matters is what’s on the inside so please, please “don’t judge a book by its cover.”

He doesn't like me like I like him

It sucks when you like someone so much but they don’t feel the same. Like it’s not even like they told you that they don’t feel the same but you can feel it. It’s the worst feeling.

I have clinic depression and anxiety so when this happens to me I go completely crazy and I get more depressed. I feel like no one wants me. The thing is they guy I’m talking to right now is always busy so maybe I’m just being weird. Right? Just overthinking? I hope I’m just over thinking. We have been talking for a few years and I think I have a right to have a big crush on him. We flirt all the time, or well at least when he’s not busy.

We were both recently in serious relationships as well, so maybe that’s why? He’s still caught up with his ex? I’m still a little caught up with mine so maybe that’s it? The stress that this gives me is insane. I should just stop talking to him maybe? But I don’t think I can. I care about him way too much. I know things about him. When I’m not distracted by something else he’s in my head. I’m going crazy. He’s everything I wish I could be.

He doesn’t know me. I feel like I know him but I don’t. I want to. Does he want to know me?

If he did he would try to know me. But he’s busy. It’s because he’s busy, right? I want to know him. Everything about him. I want to know what he does when no one’s around. Does he want to know what I do when no one’s around?



I found out the answer last night and it's a no. He likes me but we live too far apart and it wouldn't work. I know this. I'm still sad. He's just busy. I freak out and ruined what we were doing. We are just friends now.

Suicide is over talked about...

The whole suicide thing is over talked about. I didn't know that killing myself was an option until I heard about it at school. It wasn't an option for me till I heard about it. I'm not saying that when I heard about it I was like "oh I'm gonna kill myself now". I already felt like I wanted to die but it was more like "oh, I can die". The presentations tell us how others kill themselves. Which could give others ideas on how to kill ourselves, and it defiantly did for me.

I do think we should talk about the feeling of wanting to die, but I don't think that we should be telling us how they killed themselves. I don't think that we need to tell everyone about suicide. I think that people should be aware that people think about being dead and such but I do not think we need to know about people who have. But it's too late for that I suppose. Everyone already knows about it.
People have been traumatized already, by finding their friends and family members dead.

I feel like fewer people would kill themselves if suicide wasn't so advertised. Many people I have talked to didn't think they could die till they heard something about suicide. Of course, it's not the intention, but it seems to be what's happening. T.V even advertises it a lot. Someone I know told me that that's how they found out about it. They had the feeling that they wanted to die but there wasn't a way for them to do it till they saw it on T.V.

But then again this is only my opinion.

Soft and Chewy Chocolate Chip Cookies

Prep Time:       Bake Time:     Amount:
15 mins         8-10 mins      20 cookies


Ingredients 

2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 cup unsalted butter, room temperature
1/2 granulated sugar
1 cup packed light-brown sugar
1 teaspoon salt 
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract

2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips

Usually, I have to double the recipes I find but this one is perfect! Not too many cookies but not too little either! Soft and chewy just how I like it! 

Recipe
  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a small bowl, whisk together the flour and baking soda; set aside. In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, combine the butter with both sugars; beat on medium speed until light and fluffy. Reduce speed to low; add the salt, vanilla, and eggs. Beat until well mixed, about 1 minute. Add flour mixture; mix until just combined. Stir in the chocolate chips.
  2. Drop heaping tablespoon-size balls of dough about 2 inches apart on buttered baking sheets.
  3. Bake until cookies are golden around the edges, but still soft in the center, 8 to 10 minutes. Remove from oven, and let cool on baking sheet 1 to 2 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack, and let cool completely. Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature up to 1 week.

My Favorite Quote

This has to be by far my favorite quote. 
I found it about a year ago and fell in love with it!

Rant about New Year's Day

Happy New Year! I guess. You know what I hate? New Year's Day. Do you want to know why I hate new year's day? Because of New Year Resolutions. 2% of New Year resolutions actually get done, and people think it's the only time to do anything big that they want to accomplish. People make these big goals that they want to accomplish in a year. most of the time they get overwhelmed, or it's not even possible for them to accomplish in a year, or they just weren't prepared nor ready to start their goals. They made such big expectations of themselves that they can't uphold then they get sad then they think "well this year is a total bust" but it's not. They could still do something just maybe something not as big, or set some realistic goals for themself later on in the year but they don't. They wait till next year to do the exact same fucking thing over and over. So that's why I hate New Years Day, or I guess New years month.
