Sitting With My Thoughts: A Late Political submission

-


I mean this with my whole heart, y’all get the quarantine period to be sad and upset about the Democratic Presidential Race.

You also have this time to start researching who’s gonna be on the ballots in your state in the next few months. From local to state to national. You get this time to research any upcoming bills and things. See what kinda job the public officials in your city and state have been doing. And search for reputable candidates you think can replace them.

I REFUSE, REFUSE to deal with a blogger four years of folks trying to raise the price of my existence. I’m gonna take my time cause Florida got til August before the next batch of elections. Sometimes change takes time. I know it’s coming, but we gotta stop throwing pity parties for months on end when things don’t go our way. Please.

I’m not a political activist, I’m not trying to work in politics either. I ain’t want that stress. I’m just a regular degular anxious ass human woman. I just want to know that future won’t collapse the fuck around me. I want the government to leave my damn genitalia and reproductive decisions to me and my doctors. I want folks who have the same experience as me and know what it’s like to exist in this space at this age and folks who are willing to grow and learn from the upcoming generations in positions of power. I want folks who know that a business ain’t a person and folks with money need to start PAYING THEY FUCKING DUES. It’s not a hard concept, yet somehow it is?

I would also like for the general population to realize some of the people they voting for don’t have their best interests at heart. Just cause the white man agrees with your extremely fucked values that dehumanizes another human does not mean he won’t try and strip you of all your damn dignity in favor of getting more money and power. Don’t be dumb.

I would also like us all to remember Rome was not built in a day and neither were you. You’re here now because shit takes time. Let’s treat the current government like a hoarders house. First you gotta clean up the mess. Then you start making it pretty. So let’s get to cleaning in the coming months and November.

Not at all music related but y’alls lil pity party is raising my anxiety and I needed to get my thoughts out.

This bad boy was initially drafted after the Florida Primary. Right now. As it stands, we could scrap both presidential nominees and start from scratch. Cause at this point in time it’s rather obvious both are a detriment to women, black folks and change.

Having Faith

As I have mentioned an ungodly number of times on this blog, I am a walking ball of anxiety. And it affects so many parts of my life, especially because I've gone so long without actively working to fix it (2 decades basically). One of the aspects of my life that got hit the hardest was my relationship with God. I've always been apart of the church. I was a churchgoer and an active participant within the church for basically my entire life. And then I stopped. I let life and moving away from home for college affect my relationship with God. And in doing so I eventually developed intense anxiety surrounding going to church and sometimes even being around other Christians. This honestly has to be a joke because I live with a Jamaican grown, born-again Christian woman for a mother. Imagine going through a crisis of faith for years and a mom who cannot understand how you went from a regular and active churchgoer to barely having gone to church in years. Shit goes from peacefu

Let Me Explain

So, hey. I know, this isn't consistent. I would say I'm working on that but that would be a lie. This is why we have the whole Instagram thing. You follow and interact there and here. So where one is slacking the other catches. "But Pandora, you don't post regularly on there." HA, a bald-faced lie. Ya girl just saw THE Queen of the Dancehall, Spice at the Bayfest concert held at the beautiful Biscayne Bay campus of FIU ' GO PANTHERS, RAW' and lost my whole entire voice. What a Queen, what a performance. You know who else was there, Harmonik. For all the Kompa fans in the building. My homies from Ayiti were KILLING it on the dancefloor. Showing the good folks how to Kompa and have fun. Guess who else was being a baller, Harmonik's guitarist. Good sir was catching that good good Kompa whine AND playing the guitar. ' Yes, you read that right.' I was out there attempting my lil' 1, 2 Kompa steps. That whole set was such fun man, a WHOLE

Happy Valentimes Day, My Sweet Baboushkas

I have to plan out my Valentine's Day or risk getting super in my feelings. Like I get into a rather depressive yet reflective vibe for a few days, especially in the days leading up to Valentine's Day. So whatever plans I made, have to live up to expectations or that'll dampen my mood for a good week. Then it's just an extended few days after of sad music. Not gonna lie, this day has been an excessively angsty one for me personally, as someone who is perpetually single and tends to be surrounded by many folks in multiple different stages of a relationship each year. I start to fixate on a lot of the things that I view as unfulfilled personal goals of my childhood, the lack of a substantial romantic relationship being the focal point for this particular period of angst. But now that I'm older and wiser though ya girl is high-key not so fixated on being companionless and surrounded by relationships. It helps that I've always had spectacular friends that get
