Love: The Entity
There has been lots of debate surrounding if love is enough. So, is love really enough? I had this conversation recently and the person I was speaking to said “I listened to a podcast and the person speaking says love in itself is not enough, you need the dedication, the communication, you need hard work to make it work.” Now, this got me thinking, and got me to the conclusion that love is a whole puzzle and these little things, “the work” IS love. The communication, the effort to keep dating while already being in a relationship or even after marriage. The compromise, staying up till 3am to talk to this person, even the money spent. These are all pieces of the puzzle to create that one entity that is love. Keep up with me here, for instance you don't spend money on a person if you don't genuinely care about a person, when I say money I mean hard earned money, might not even be hard earned money but money you could have used for something else something that also brings you joy. However, you chose to spend it on your person and the reason you did that is because you love the person. I’m not talking to those of you that spend money just to get something in return I'm talking about my real love bugs, those of you that genuinely love your person, your actions are fueled by love. love is enough, love and all its little love pieces that make it the entity.

Self-Sabotage.
Here you are, faced with probably the most confusing feeling that you cannot possibly comprehend why this feeling even exists. You have met someone, someone kind, someone willing to listen, someone faithful, someone with perfect imperfections. But still, here you are having doubts.

Financial Insecurity with Students and Self-Worth
It has come to my attention that a lot of students deal with financial insecurities, and it has influenced their day to day lives. Meanwhile, this is a time in their life where they should be experiencing life itself and accepting what they consider a “failure”as a lesson and using it as a tool to mold their future to what they would want it to be and support each other.

Women
Patriarchy is nothing new in this day and age—it has existed for centuries. But the mentality that resides in the minds of people to believe that men are superior to women is beyond me. For instance, parents would expect you the woman, the apparent "weaker" and more emotional sex, to have the answer to EVERYTHING. Think about it—if you're a girl, maybe the first daughter or the only girl, tell me, have your parents every relied on you to fix certain issues? They expect you to have all the answers? You fix these issues, all the time, you have the answer, and you’re always on the go, on the call, ready to attend to their every need. But when you are all in the room together, they regard your brothers as better than you? You have something to say but they shun you? Tell you that you cannot speak among men. What inspired this was just a mere observation. A friend was on the phone with her parents, cleaning up her brother's mess, then I walked out to give her some privacy then I see a family and the daughter was about to speak and her mother shut her down telling her that she has no right to talk when men are talking... What does that even mean?? If she speaks among men would all hell break loose? Maybe the men would disintegrate if she utters something that actually makes sense. I'm sure men caused global warming with this behaviour.

The Three Effects
So, in order to make this easier to comprehend for everyone, a real event that has taken place would be used. I have a friend named Anaya, and she got into complications with her friend from college, Maya. This happened because Anaya was to assist Maya in bringing some things back to college from home. Maya had asked Anaya if she is able to carry things for her and Anaya assures her that she can, but Anaya gave this assurance without notifying her parents, and Anaya has very strict parents too. Although, Anaya made Maya this promise believing that what Maya needed was not so much.
