When we are growing and maturing, it can sometimes be painful. But growing pains are normal. We as young children experience the aches in our bones and muscles as we grow. Well, as adults, we experience that same kind of pain, but its in our hearts and minds. The big picture is to embrace our pains because theyre temporary. Once we have reached our maturity, we have an unfiltered wisdom. That is something only experience can bring. The harder we struggle, the stronger we have a chance to become. The choice is our own. In my life, I have struggled with love. Its easy for me to give yet hard to receive. Therefore, I have set out to conquer my inner self. I have started my journey by loving me and letting me love me back. I express my thoughts that are nontraditional because Im not traditional. I have always been considered different or an outcast, but I learned I am supposed to be. These poems are a reflection of who only God can see, and I am ready to reveal myself.

Download or read book Pelicans Cormorants and their Relatives written by J. Bryan Nelson and published by OUP Oxford. This book was released on 2006-01-26 with total page 680 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The pelecaniformes are a large and important group of seabirds, containing many spectacular species. This book addresses the breeding biology of the six pelecaniform families, which comprise the closely-related core groups (pelicans, cormorants/shags, darters, gannets/boobies) and their more distant relatives, the frigate birds and tropic birds. Many fundamental questions can be addressed through the pelecaniformes: Why do they breed in colonies? What are the links between their feeding methods and their reproduction? What part does territorial and pairing behaviour play in their life-cycles? These and scores of comparable issues, including those related to man, are woven here into a richly interpretative text. The author's approach to the subject is threefold. First, the pelecaniformes are placed within the framework of four discrete disciplines, with chapters on evolutionary relationships, comparative behaviour, ecology, and the birds' relationship with humans. Secondly, each of the six families is discussed, elucidating the range of taxonomy, behaviour, and ecology within each. Finally, we progress to specific level, using the same structure as for the family accounts. In this way, each of the 60-odd species can be understood not just as discrete units, but as part of their family and order. The book is unique in its coverage of the entire order and in its combination of facts and interpretation. Pelicans, Cormorants, and their Allies will enable readers not only to identify the many spectacular species which make up this large and important group of seabirds, but also to understand their breeding biology.

Download or read book The Sociology of Cardi B written by Aaryn L. Green and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2024-08-08 with total page 175 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This powerfully written and co-authored book creatively engages with the topics of Black and Latinx femininity, motherhood, sexuality, racial and ethnic identity, and political engagement through the life and artistic work of Hip Hop artist Cardi B. The authors highlight examples from Cardi's lived experiences and artistry using a trap feminist framework as a starting point for sociological conversations about Black women and the trap. The authors weave foundational histories of Black sociology, Black feminism, and institutional inequalities along the lines of race, class, and gender. Drawing from moments in Cardi B’s public life—her rap lyrics, her behavior at New York Fashion Week, questions about her racial and ethnic identity, the unveiling of her pregnancy, her engagement with politicians, and her responses to social media comments and critics—this book argues for the merits of addressing Black feminist theory from the bottom up—that is, to take seriously the knowledge production of Black women by attending to and creating space for hood chicks, ghetto girls, and ratchet women. By centering the lived experiences and social positions of the Black women Cardi represents, the authors expand Black feminist discourse and entrust Black women to define themselves for themselves. This book is an important contribution to scholarship for students, scholars, and readers interested in sociology, Hip Hop, pop culture, and women's studies.
