Youthful Life: X

The 20s are all about stepping up your social media game. Dominating the social scene is hard enough in real life, but online takes it's to a whole other level. Not only do you have to be socially excellent, but you have to find the perfect balance of everything (politics, social justice, quotes, lyrics, real updates etc.). Too much of one thing, and you could be marked as "that friend" (that's a title that doesn't blow away easily). Ready, set, let the media games begin! Lately , I've become really popular on Facebook. I don't know what it is about the stuff I post but people just really seem to like it.  No matter what status it is (an inspirational quote, quirky joke, or social justice related observation) the new minimum is 20 likes. I don't know if I all of sudden I have become really engaging or maybe my real-life notoriety is finally making it's way to the interwebs. Either way people are interacting with me more than ever before. Ever...

The 20s are all about being up to date with the latest sayings. It seems like every couple of weeks there's a new dance craze, pop culture reference or phrase being thrown around ("Red Nose" - Miley Cyrus booty work - #VineFamous). Sometimes it can be hard to keep up with all the randomness being made up. Here's your all inclusive guide to the words that have been incorporated into our jagon. Get with the times, no more jibber-jabber jiving. *My favorite vines of the week: Robot Dance Clean - Do You Work Here - Black Mom Problems - White Girl Twerk It's time to play Lingo Catchup : Turn Up - verb - to let loose and have fun, get wild, or stupid hype; It's the weekend we about to get turnt up. Turn down for what, never. Turn up, ay! Synonym: Crunk, Live No Chill - phrase - a state of being hyper, out of control, reckless, excessive or all over the place; That dude really has no chill, he's in this party drunk off his ass dancing on the bar l...

The  20s are all about finding your own magic. We've all got a few tricks up our sleeves. Me, I'd say my excessive knowledge of pop culture, killer smile, dance skills, and impeccable style - all my powers of seduction charming. I'd say I'm #teamsmoldering always. Magic has it's allure but some things should be an arms length away. "Look closely, because the closer you think you are, the less you will actually see" Now You See Me Honestly this post is a stretch, but I'm pretty sure I can pull off talking about magic anyway. I watched Now You See Me recently and I would highly recommend it. That movie was mindblowing and awe-inspiring, just like a good magic show will leave you flabbergasted and totally perplexed. It's a rush from beginning to end with a stellar cast (I don't like Jesse Eisenberg however, maybe it's because he's been typecast as an arrogant prick) with Mark Ruffalo and Dave Franco standing out the most to me. Defin...

The 20s are all about figuring out what you're gifted with. I believe everyone had something special to offer the world. We're all here to bring something unique to the table and improve then place we live in. We're all needed, necessary and essential - never forget that. Dream big and don't stop chasing your dreams until they've come true. They're divinely inspired.  Hey Joe - what's the purpose of life. Oh you're probably wondering why I haven't answered the biggest question like ever before, but I've always known the answer. People go through life searching for it's meaning but I have my own patented theory on why we exist. I think that we all are sent down from wherever (my bet's on big G from heaven up above) unaware of what our gift and purpose is. We're here to search, learn and discover what's inside of us. That's what life is, figuring out what makes us special, and what we can do that no one else can. That's ...
