The Mane Event: Keyshia & Gucci goals?

This topic has been a long time coming! I can approach this at  so many angles especially since with or without the people I'm using as examples, the subject matter remains to be one that is timeless as long as humans exist on Earth. Remember that huge BET Event? The matrimony of the Guwops (Keyshia Ka'oir and Gucci Mane). They called it the Mane event and because I see cable as a luxury and not a necessity, I was not able to dress up and pretend that I was in attendance like the rest of the viewers. For months we were teased about this fairytale wedding where the bride was beautiful as usual and the groom showed us a Gucci many folks still believe is a clone, because the man that went to jail was not the same man that came out. One of my best girls Jay gave me the idea to discuss in detail how many people were saying how the relationship between Keyshia Ka'oir and Gucci is/was #goals. The issue in itself was that they were #goals based on the outcome of a very roc...

I would like to give a brief disclaimer: Warning I am not hating on anyone as the topics discussed may hit a soft spot. Just like a******s there are opinions, everyone has one, and this reflects my my possibly unbiased opinion about the subject matter.

Makes sense, they're in love, married, have offspring and smile at each other in pictures. The only issue is that too many times people ignore the down sides to these model couples that never really asked to be in the forefront in...

Generation Over Share

Lately I've noticed a personal change in myself that I am becoming pleased with. It's something that's so common amongst generations before and after me that I never noticed how much of a problem it really is. Have you ever paid attention to your habits? What about things you don't do very often but given the right situation you do a certain action automatically? I've been writing ever since my aunt gave me my first journal when I was at least 12/13 years old. That’s the place where I talked about my day, expressed my feelings, and provided myself to remember some of the past knowing that at such a young age my memory would be shotty at best. It had to be over 4/5 years ago when I had completely stopped. Around that same time I started getting more into social media. My Facebook and Twitter became the places where I would connect with people and express my feelings or views. I never got many likes or reposts, but there was something so liberating about telling ever...
