Being a girl brand (The side that needs fixing).

By Itgirl Overload
Creating a brand from stratch is already scary, but doing so while being a girl is way more complicated. Especially living in today's day in time. It has gotten even worse as the generation has continued to move forward. It's to the point where society(Mostly men), have decided that their birth right, includes speaking loud, and mighty proud against women. Mainly getting the message across in, such a negative and demanding way. Examples being, "you're only pretty if ...." , " if you want a man then.....", "women shouldn't do.....", etc. The list could honestly go on and on. By no means is this blog post somely to bash men but..... Things like this need to be said, because this is gotten, too out of hand. I don't know if at this point guys are "trying to help", or if bashing women is way to fun in their eyes, to stop now. But in my opinion, I feel as if a women's business, is just that , A WOMEN'S BUSINESS. I'm still confused as to when and how guys, felt comfortable enough to put women down,it has got to stop. Now opening my eyes, I see the "tying" to set women to a UNREALISTIC standard is a projection on the guy's side. Have you even noticed the type of guys projecting this nonsense... have you really? Another thing, that saddens me, is other women chiming in. Envious women coming from all differnt walks of ife, talking cruel towards other women. I know no women is perfect. We've all gossip at some point in our lives. Maybe it was recently, like yesterday the day before that , or if you're as sweet as a pumpkin, it was back in middle school.Lets talk about school for a moment, and how it was not the place to be. It was very damaging, predominantly towards girls. Why though? Why did the school policy enforce dress code EXTREMELY impossible to follow for JUST girls? Why could'nt we simply take our jacket's off to cool ourselves down, in class, and if we did we got blasted in front of the class for others to talk down on us. We would get ridiculed in gym class, for everyone's ears to hear, for having "short" shorts on. Even though the length was the same for both sexes. Ohhhh and if you were tall, you could just forget it, Your grade was going down regardless. School has got to be my second bully. My first being my mom..... "good job" mom don't say I never shouted you out! My mom would'nt allow my sister and I , to dress a certain way in front of our OWN brothers...... We could'nt wear shorts, dresses, skirts, or even cami's around them. How weird right? My fanastic mom served my brothers before my sister and I. The boys could lounge around while my sister and I helped in the kitchen day in and day out ( actually I was called more to be in the kitchen than my sister was if we're counting...). Actually my mom called me the most for everything, maybe because we bumped heads alot. I've always been strong minded, and I started realizing a lot of adults hated that. To be honest elderly people in general despise when younger adults/kids can't be manipulated. Between school and my mom, I thought that there was nothing left to live for. I couldn't see a future for myslef. Mostly, because my mom stated over and over again, that I would'nt live past my teens . But what I have learned on the way, and what i'm still learning is that always supporting other girls is very vital. Congratulating other women is so theraputic to me. I love seeing women accomplish their dreams, especially me being a young women myself. Society can be so hard. Being authentic is highly needed. Living to not please others, should be on EVERY girl's vision board. I'm currently reading GIRL CODE,by Cara Alwill Leyba. This book is inspiring to see a women managing to live her truth , and in doing so by appreciating other women as well. It is teaching me to learn more about myslef, and also to strive to learn ,and lift up my fellow women around me as a whole. SO SHUT OFF THE NOISE OF OTHERS ESPECIALLY GUY'S OPINION AND GO MAKE THE REST OF YOUR LIFE THE BEST OF YOUR LIFE. xoxo soon to be Itgirl Overload xoxo

Murder the unhinged video game controllers!!!!

It was you. It was always you. It was you that played the video game and somehow your October wasn't all that bad. I mean maybe I'm speaking for myself, but I had to allow October to run it's course. I had to in fact allow october to run into a wall, so that I could handle what October's redundant handler was wickedly handling -time and time again. It's always been about time and what it's been overly doing. Life is mallory, but only to those who don't step in and take their reigns. I may or may not have refreshed what was so clearly being replayed. I couldn't stand all of my previous Octobers', and I had to cry it all out to be able to see November. Maybe I have a plan that doesn't allow some if not most energies to come with, but at least I can come back and be a confidant to your unlocal misery, right? What did October tether you to, and how did you make it here? How did you make it to November? Did you slide, crawl, run, skate, glide, walk

There's no better time like October...

By Itgirl Overload

Honestly in October, I chose not to think. I chose not to think about what could take over me and make me something unexplainable. I'm choosing not to think about the possiblity of becoming a vessel to uncanny spirits. I mean how could I ever come up with the time to think along those lines if I'm too busy creating the best parts of myself. Why must I bury myself in meaningless items when I could get lost in things that have the utmost potential to matter to not only myself -but to the world. The weather is reminding me just how summer didn't do it for me. The cool breeze and not so sunny days are reminding me that beautiful things can still happen. I can just as easily turn over stones just like the next person. I'm no different from a better zipcode or a simplier time of place. My ice tea can be just as sweet as someone who didnt' work as hard to get the right ingredients. I mean sh!t... maybe the nothing that I have is the promise of getting everythin

September's last request ~We're suiting up to land onto October's promise!!!

By Itgirl Overload

If today's our last mission, before October comes in to spook us into character, why aren't you putting in any request? We all want something but a lot of us are choosing to take what we can get. Meanwhile there are people who are taking rather than asking. To me I think being selfish is okay if it could potentially help others in the long run. Clearly September came in and left like it had somehwere else to be, I wonder if you saw the impatience that took place and decided to take advantage of September fast pace energy. Did you do things without thinking? Did you finally sign up for that class knowing that it was now or never? Did you place yourself in better rooms to hear better advice, or did you stay stuck within your own vices? I mean if you were to ask me, I noticed that I couldn't be everywhere all at once, but I could very well be in better places altogether. I have a feeling that this October is going to be most people's take off, and I feel like o
