Daily Insight: Does It Make A Sound?

I’m sure we have all heard the age old question “if a tree falls, and no one is around to hear it, does it still make a noise?” This phrase has been edited to relay many different messages throughout the years. In this age of technology, transparency, instant gratification, and over sharing I have taken this phrase to mean one more thing.

I know we have all encountered those people on social networks that use the platform to do nothing but stunt. What I mean by stunt is basically bragging about all the exotic places they go, parties they attend, the upper echelon they rub elbows with, and money they spend. Those people sometimes do not realize they’re doing it, but I’m sure they’ve irritated their fair share of followers.

Which brings me to ask: if you don’t post it on twitter did it not happen? If you don’t post that picture on instagram does it not exist? If you don’t update friends and strangers alike on every milestone in your relationship does it not happen? With peoples lives being as accessible as they are, are there some things that are better left unshared?

Daily Insight: Mountain Out Of A Mole Hill

I believe the most annoying thing about being a woman is our emotions tend to get the best of us at times. We kind of let our minds run wild and make up all kinds of scenarios when over analyzing situations or the actions of others.

A wise man once said "you can't make a mountain out of a mole hill." As a woman we tend to do this more than we like to admit. Hell we would make Mount Everest out of a sand castle. Meaning we make situations way more dramatic then they truly are....

If that guy that you're crushing on or dating doesn't call at 8pm like he said he must not be into you, and is trying to give you a hint. Meanwhile homeboy is probably intending to call at 8:15. But too late cause you've already updated your Facebook status to "men ain't shit."

You show up at the club and take a gander around the room, and realize homegirl is wearing the same dress as you. Before you storm out or hiding in the bathroom all night out of unbearable embarrassment, complement homegirl on her good taste and keep it trucking. Just try not to shop in the most common H&M in the world next time.

When you are out an run into that ex that you haven't seen in a while, don't go running in the other direction. Or try to figure out why y'all broke up 6 damn years ago. Knowing damn well you couldn't stand his ass back then. Wave at his ass and switch as hard as you possibly can past him.

As women our emotions are going to try to run buckwild. Tuck those estrogen filled thoughts back in them ovaries, and remember that it isn't that serious, that mole hill can easily be stepped over...it's not a mountain.
