The Importance of the Opposite Sex and Dating

Culture News, Health and Wellness, Lifestyle


There’s a reason why there is a male for every female and vice versa. Have you ever thought about getting married, being loved, and loving someone else ? If you’re a normal individual you have thought about who your soulmate is at least once.

Why is it so hard to date, court, and get married nowadays if there’s somebody for everybody? Dating is a vicious cycle.

Men are supposedly the predators, yet you have more women taking that position today throwing the chemical balance off between men and women.

More men are becoming use to flocking females, thots, whores, hoes, whatever you call them because women are allowing too much inconsistency, red flags, and chilling in their life.

Knowing your worth is worth your while and can help you figure out major decisions in your life. Don’t know your self worth, spend time with yourself and figure it out.

Understand the Process and Term

. Dating

a. to be a boyfriend or girlfriend of (someone of the opposite sex)

b. to accompany (a member of the opposite sex) on a date

Dating consist of social activities between two people with the aim of assessing each others compatibility/suitably to be partners in an intimate relationship, and or spouse. Dating is a social relationship, casual and fun. So What are the protocol, rules and practices to dating ? It’s the idea of searching for your soulmate, so it applies differently according to your location in the world, sex, and interest.

.Courting

a. to seek another’s love; woo.

b. to attempt to gain (applause, favor, a decision, etc.).

Dating VS. Courting

Is there really a difference between the two ? Well you know my favorite thing is to dissect, so let’s figure it out.

Courting is getting to know someone with the intentions of building a lasting long term monogamy or polyamory relationship. (It’s called OFFICIALLY being in a relationship with actual goals and plans).

Dating is couple planned activities, scouting options that are available to you, with intentions of becoming romantically involved. (otherwise known as practice) it’s figuring things out, figuring out what you want and what you don’t want.

In my opinion yes, it’s levels to relationships., dating isn’t easy and courting is no easier but between the two dating is a lot easier than courting someone.

The only difference between courting is that you have made the conscious decision of investing in something that you’re interested in, care about, and find worth while that could turn into something worth living for.

Stages of Dating

Attraction/ Choosing
Uncertainty/ Deciding if the person is right for you

Becoming exclusive (mutual decision to become committed)

Last but not least Courting

My experience with dating these past four years has been crazy but well worth getting to know me as a woman.

This topic has been well researched and lived to back up the details in this post. I’ve become confident with what I want as a woman, comfortable with choosing my man after he has chosen me.

It’s not about being thirsty for someone but its about being appreciated and shown interest in who you truly are, while giving back what’s given to you.

Dating is fun but courting should always be your goal. From personal experience:Never settle for less than what you want, deserve, and seek, don’t waste your time.

Lets get back to basics.

Culture News, Entertainment

What an amazing 😉 play 🎟🎭 ‼️ Je’Caryous prolifically pulled this together. The all-star cast ⭐️ fit the roles, and the story twist….well you’ll just have to catch the last two shows tomorrow to see what’s up.

sed the very beginning when Stony's brother was killed and probably a bit more. It would have been nice to let Stony get away 🚶🏿‍♀️ the way she did in the movie, rather than the twist. I wasn't really feeling it but it wasn't outrageously altered, It was 👌🏾.

I will say that there is a lot of work that still needs to be done. After thinking 🤔 about it , they could have invested more into the props and marketing.

My favorite part of the play was the reenactment of Cleo's infamous run 🏃🏾‍♀️ in with the police 🚔. Yo, they had the fucking blue 🚙 car with the hydraulics G.

They sung happy 😊 Birthday 🎂 to Da Brat, who's birthday is April 14. Chicago go get your tickets and support the arts 🎭.

The “Business” of Humanity: Humans and Relationships

Culture News, Health and Wellness, Lifestyle

If you’re human, you have this thing you go through called “human error”, and while this is commonly applied to industries, we’re going to use it in the human communication industry of relationships.

Family is a global business industry. I don’t think I have to explain it to you because I know you know your history and the heritage of humanity especially before industrialism. Humans are natural resources who can seemingly do anything, just about. That main factor that made slavery so popular in the US and abroad is humans ability to regenerate even if not out of love.

What sparked this convo

My cousin shared these thoughts on Facebook:

Look 👀 up the “” words because we are about to get technical:< em>What is a relationship❓

A “relationship” is a “ship” 🚢 that stores 🏠 your “Relations”. Two people that have a relationship isn’t guaranteed to be in love 😍. You can connect by attraction, goals, or aspirations or even security. Sometimes two people connect for a short term that was simply never meant to last but only for you to receive the lesson that life has on your path to teach you. If a “relationship” makes you have these type of thoughts organically then follow your intuition. Don’t anchor⚓️ down because a ship 🚢 should always “sail”.

What is the most common mistake that people make in one ☝🏾❓

The mistake most people make is not being logical about the relationships they build or openly honest with their partner. Sometimes when you grow, it’s nothing personal when someone outgrows someone, it’s life. Be happy 😊 even when you’re growing through hell, discomfort, confusion or chaos, because when you reflect you’ll understand why things are never a coincidence. Next time be aware that your soul is sailing ⛵️ and you’re on a wave 🌊 riding to your next destination. Ask yourself: What is the meaning of this? Why is this person here ? Why am I here? Then go from there.

Communal Eating and the Importance of Sharing a Meal and Conversation

Community, Culture News, Food, Dining, and Drinks, Lifestyle, Travel

Yesterday at Demera Ethiopian Restaurant, I hosted 8 guest to celebrate the New Year (my new year).  The benefits of dining with others is the centering of food and conversation which helps to upwardly build relations.

Follow me on snap @BillieDaKidd

In today’s community or world we don’t eat with our family a lot. We’re typically always on the go, with our extended family from work, or maybe with our friends. Whatever the situation, we aren’t spending two hours a day communally eating.

What is Communal Eating:

Communal Eating As A Vaccination Against Loneliness And Social Isolation

Eating together and having a quintessential human experience is communal dining. You get to catch up with your peers, family, or partners. It’s a great way to learn from one another and inspire new cuisines, cultural practices, and share information.

Conarga released news about a national survey that they performed, which found that 40 percent of American families eat dinner together at three or fewer times a week. I’m not for sure when the news release was published but I’ll guess that it was around 2003. Do you think that number has increased or decreased?

Well I’m gone get straight to the point with you. I’m improving my life and culture, so how I bond with humans in my life is utterly important to me. It’s not about one individual but about the unit as a collective. It’s about the whole experience and learning how not to be selfish or kill the mood of others, being aware of how you’re energy (Inner G) impacts others.

Here’s my Why

@DrUmarJohnson @The_HWCC, talking about his mission, his fight, and his purpose on the First Day of Kwanza; and a Late Dinner at Yassa African Food *Trial Footage included

Culture News

Umoja describes the First Day of Kwanza in Chicago at the Harold Washington Cultural Center; Dr. Umar Johnson, a Doctor of Clinical Psychology and Certified School Psychologist, was a Keynote Speaker along with a line of talented Artists. Johnson is facing a legal challenge with the Commonwealth State of Pennsylvania, Bureau of Professional and Occupational Affairs aka the State Board of Psychology.

The first day of Kwanzaa was beautiful. If you’re not familiar with Kwanzaa don’t trip. Kwanzaa is an “African American” seven-day cultural experience recognized each year from December 26-January 1. The seven-day principles are Umoja (Unity), Kujichagulia (Self-Determination), Ujima (Collective Work and Responsibility), Ujamaa (Co-operative Economics), Nia (Purpose), Kummba (Creativity), Imani (Faith).

Set aside all of that, he came through the land and dropped Jewels that are worthy of sharing with Urban (Black) Parents. As a Mentor, I consider this information to be a necessary conversation especially for young parents. Most parents aren’t educated on the business of “Education”, and it’s a major responsibility that they are enlighten, so that they can properly do business with them.

  1. Never go to a school meeting by yourself

  2. Do not get your child evaluated if they are in 3rd Grade and under. Philosophical labels are used to diagnose them; not physical, medical, scientific results.

  3. Don’t communicate over the phone, always do it in writing via emails or written documents.

  4. Stop telling the school your business. (*inform your children of this too)

  5. Know that you have a right to a second opinion, especially if they’re claiming your child has special education needs. Legally the school will pay for the qualified specialist of your choice to evaluate your child for a second opinion.

Do your research and understand the policies that govern education. Don’t just leave it at that either, as a parent know what education is to be able to determine what kind of education your child should receive. What a wonderful way to spend Umoja! It was a pleasure to learn better methods and theories to aid in helping us have a better understanding of developing our children.

Dr. Johnson is in the works of deciding of where he will plant his first school. He’s deciding between Detroit, Atlanta, and Chicago. He’s had some conflicts along the way because he wasn’t getting any returned phone calls from real estate interest. He’s been having other partners and associates call to inquiry about the real estate. We’ll be contacting Dr. Umar Johnson to obtain more information about his plans with FDMG. His mission is to continue uniting the people, to properly educate our boys, and to develop a institution also for our girls. His goal is to create a educational institution that will aid children to tap into their true intelligence which has been underdeveloped by the public school system, for centuries.

Hopefully I hear from Doc soon, I’ll keep you updated.

Reflection 👁👣💭

In today’s world, it’s really difficult for this generation to connect to past accomplishments because of the strong hold that gatekeepers have on history.

Last week I wrote about 5 Women You Should Know, because not only do I feel like marginalized people need a voice but I think that women aren’t appreciated enough.

No I’m not a feminist, whatsoever. I just don’t see a balance when it comes to respecting the ground hustle that a lot of women have worked hard to blaze.

Love ❤️ your Maker, your Creator

We are still looked at as second-class-citizens and objects, not as creators, lovers, and nurturers.

Wonder why the world is in chaos? Look at the global state of women? That should answer your question. I say this because women are the ones who birth humans into this realm. They allow human spirit to dwell inside of them and risk their life to deliver the creation of God, another blessing to humanity.

It’s still some work to do globally on the worship of the diversity of God. The reflection of God. The truth.

Somewhere along the way, someone has been taking advantage of humanity by not returning the kindness of mother earth ripping away at father time.

5 things to know about Maya Angelou’s complicated, meaningful life.

Necessary Respect ✊🏾 for Winne Mandela.

5 most Wealthiest Things in the World

Culture News, Health and Wellness, Lifestyle, What's Good?

Happy Tuesday!

It’s 3 days into the New Year, counting from April 1, because it’s harvesting season where things are being planted. I shared my solar return (birthday) April 1, too.

It’s a great season to detoxify, rejuvenate, and regenerate your energy to create for the summer.

 

King Spa

 

For 24 hours, on the first day of the “New Year”, I spent the day cleansing at King Spa:

  1. Aura 

  2. Mind 

  3. Body 

  4. Soul 

  5. Spirit 

These are the 5 most wealthiest things to me in the world. The reason I know this to be true is because if everything else fails, all you have is you. If your health is declining because you are failing to keep a balance in your life, you can become toxic. Just think about if you never took the time to cleanse your self ?  And most of us can’t reach our back, so I know someone out here is walking around with a dirty back.

Nonetheless, we still have to find time to rid our body of the toxins we inject or allow others to inject into ourselves, aid our digestive system, as well as our immune system or what we pick up in our environment daily. Our body is constantly trying to cleanse itself, so we have to aid it in its process.

I really enjoyed the refreshing rebirth of the year. Take care of your self.

 

Peace.
