Man vs. Woman

I blame movies for the way society view masculinity. I blame this generation’s music for creating the idea that it is acceptable to talk to woman however they want.  I blame the male ego for thinking its right to be with more than one woman at once. But most importantly I blame myself for being a part of these stereotypes and false perceptions.

As I get older I find it harder to be different from the average man, conforming to the stereotype just seems easier than standing out from the rest. Ladies don’t help with this problem either. Women tend to label all of the men into one group, one idea, pressuring men to prove them wrong every day. Not to mention thanks to technology the second a man shows how he is the same to every other guy the woman would move on to the next man and forget about the first one. Men can’t get out easy either. You can’t blame women for feeling the way they do with how you act. 

The emotional and physical confrontation between men and women is just a large cloud of misconception. All and all we want the same thing in life, to not be alone. Even though we are born into this world alone, every second while we are growing closer to death we attempt to find somebody to share that time with. 

I use to be a huge hopeless romantic however, when I got to college my perception of love changed due to the conformity of other men and my new perception of women. I’d do anything to obtain the love and respect I use to have for women but it’s hard when you are surrounded by a world of selfies, likes, and followers. Living in a world where you can physically be with somebody but they are “technologically” with somebody else. Where lies seem like the truth and the truth feels like lies.

The only hearts I see now are ones on a screen you tap to show you like a photo. The only warmth I feel is when my phone gets hot from being charged to long. Ask yourself readers, would you give that person a chance even if they seem similar to the rest? Because personality is below the surface, not just a profile picture.

"A Large World That Seems Small"

Is there truly a reason behind somebody from your past reappearing into your life? Some might say that its faith, others might play around with the idea of destiny, however, I think this situation depends only on who you are at that exact moment .Before I explain myself I must touch base on the common misconception of bumping into somebody randomly.  A phrase comes to mind whenever you see somebody in an uncommon place or meet somebody that knows the same people as you. The phrase is “it’s a small world we live in.” The population on this planet is 7.243 billion and me being almost 22 years of age I haven’t even lived that many seconds yet. This world is not small but the phrase depicts the odds of one person meeting another at the same place and time with similar history. Think about it though, most of the people we interact with share similar interests with is that’s how relationships are formed; because we relate. For example, how likely is it for your distant friend you bounded with years ago to a similar music artist to bump into you at a concert in your town; very likely. However, at that moment it is possible you felt a void, large or small, and the universe filled that void with this friend you haven’t seen in a long time. Today I bumped into somebody on my college campus who haven’t crossed my mind in years but I have a spent a great deal of time getting to know. Was I surprised? Not the slightest because of the week I’ve been having. This week I’ve been feeling slightly lost, home sick, and alone. Me bumping into somebody from my past took me back to a point in my life where I thought I had all of the answers and my social circle was at its peak. My brain triggered the universe to set balance to my emotions because no negative situation is permanent only temporary. I myself knew I had to get out of the emotional slump I put myself in and the person from my past helped me out of it just by seeing them. So I ask you my readers, think back to when you seen somebody from your past that you haven’t spoken to in a while. Now were you in a state of mind that was usual for you? I believe things do happen for a reason but more often times than not people tend to read more into things than they should. We shouldn’t forget how powerful our minds are and how the things we dwell on shape what we encounter. Next time you bump into somebody from your past simply think about the state of mind you’re in and what’s the single purpose of this person reappearing. And most importantly why that moment.
