I've been wearing a mask in public for about two weeks. I never thought
I'd need to wear a mask, but I feel like it's not an option. I feel safer know-

the "experts" told us it wasn't necessary for us to wear masks. But a month
later, they said we should! Imagine how many lives could've been saved

I've been a germaphobe for a little over 13 years. My oldest son died when
he was seven from pneumonia, and that's what caused me to be a germaphobe.
I was devastated, angry, and I kept thinking how germs killed him. It really
messed with my head; it still does. I've tried to tell myself...Germs are normal.

Every day more brick and mortar stores are closing. Many people

The Good Life
Hush the negativity
Speak words of peace
Many people judge the ones they know the least
Every day decide to be friendly and caring
Don't discriminate, act a fool, or start yelling and swearing
Don't assume that someone has it all
Their life may be about to crash and fall
Being mean and hateful won't get you far
You'll be equal to a faded star

We all have our reasons for using social media, but if it begins to interfere
with your real life in a negative way you need to be on it a lot less, or give
it up completely. I know a woman who deleted all of her social media accounts
except one. I'll call her Jane...Jane said, "I was spending too much time on it,

My husband bought a loaf of bread, and I was going to make myself
some toast, but when I realized the heel was still in the bag I changed
my mind. I told him it was unsanitary to keep putting the heel back
into the bag.
I always give the birds the heel, because they love it. The bread heel
is never exciting. It's usually small, dry and tasteless. So what do you

I think I've been using hashtags for at least three years. I used to think
hashtags were dumb and made no sense, but I was wrong.
I did a mini experiment and this is how it went...At 12:30 pm I put a
photo on Instagram with no hashtags, and by 3:45pm I only had five
likes. I added hashtags to the same post at 4:00pm and two hours later
I had 18 likes and three followers.

I recently encountered two episodes of racism. They were subtle, but still
disturbing.
The first incident occurred while I was in a fitting room. There was a man
with his wife and young son and I noticed the man kept looking at me oddly.
I thought maybe we knew each other or something, but that wasn't the case.

It's hard to believe, but some people have no idea how they appear to
others. For this reason, I've created a list for those people who don't
realize or don't understand how they may be making themselves unlikable.
8 Actions That Can Make You Unlikable
1. Being rude to people in service industries: waiters, retail associates,
cashiers, flight attendants, etc.

I've been on social media for awhile, and Instagram has some of the least
loyal followers. People will follow you there a lot quicker than other forms
of social media, but they will also unfollow you almost as fast. I'm still try-
ing to figure out this Instagram game. When people follow me I expect some
of them to disappear, but the numbers are so dramatic on Instagram.

A couple weeks ago, I read an article about a white girl who has uncombable
hair syndrome. I thought it was a joke, but it wasn't. At adolescence a lot of
children outgrow their uncombable hair syndrome, but I can tell you as a
black person it never leaves.
I still can't believe that this kind of hair in non-blacks is considered a
syndrome. My hair has been uncombable since Katrina Curetonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11133345546625421117noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7677994171182327947.post-1133453600875314922017-08-07T11:02:00.000-04:002018-06-11T12:54:24.839-04:00When You Need Mental Help
I don't dismiss psychiatrist or psychologist, but they don't always know
how it feels to be going through what you're going through.
When I was a child I was mean and unhappy, so my parents took me to
therapists. My father said that when I talked to therapists I told them what
they wanted to hear, and when we'd get home I'd go right back to being the
same way. I only Katrina Curetonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11133345546625421117noreply@blogger.com0
