I was extremely moved by an article I read today. The piece was called “Coming Out as Biracial”. Interesting title right? When I hear “coming out,” I automatically think of the pinnacle moment in some LGBT people’s lives where they disclose their sexual orientation to those they care most about. This moment is very special, but I imagine it to… Read more →
I really wanted to weigh in on the whole Trayvon Martin tragedy. I wrote a paragraph here and there, then deleted the whole document. I would go on Facebook and see status’ supporting both sides, then go to write a status myself and again that would be deleted. I was definitely that girl glued to the television and Twitter when… Read more →
I was having a discussion with some of my friends regarding our generation- Generation Y and it really got me thinking. While I definitely appreciate other generations and get along with them, it is funny to think of how truly different we are. You wouldn’t think being born between the early 1980’s and 2000, would make that much of a… Read more →
We all have obsessions. Some are healthier than others. Chocolate, fashion, celebrities, Pinterest… these are normal to have. According to Merriam Webster an obsession is a “persistent disturbing preoccupation with an often unreasonable idea or feeling.” Why must it be disturbing? And why is it often unreasonable? Whose to judge? I know that some people obsess till a point where… Read more →
Do you ever wish you were someone else? Sometimes I do. Don’t get me wrong, I love me. I might love myself to a fault at times, and I am definitely blessed for all that I have, there are just characteristics of other people that I admire and wish I had. I suppose I could change, adopt these qualities as… Read more →
What a morbid title for a blog, right? You decided to read, so what does that say about you? Well, much like you, death is intriguing to me. Say the word Death aloud. It has a scary, yet mysterious quality to it. It is something that you and myself (the living ones) don’t know much about. Sure, we all know… Read more →
About ME: Yep, that’s me up there… hmm, where to start and where to end? Thank you for checking out my blog! My name is Jasmine Kent, formerly Jasmine Crawford. While I might seem to have it pretty much together, looks can be deceiving. You will soon realize that I am quite the strange one. I embrace my weirdness and I… Read more →
I absolutely love city living! The greatest part of living in the city to me is the people watching. Whether I am walking the Magnificent mile, taking advantage of the Chicago Transit Authority or taking in some rays by the lake, there is no shortage of awesome sights to be seen. While I think of myself as a very positive… Read more →
It’s hard to put a finger on what makes a show awesome. I have a number of favorite comedic shows, a few preferred dramas, and a couple of shows that are simply awful, but I cannot pull myself away. What keeps me coming back to these shows? Of course one of my favorite comedies, New Girl is simple. Who can… Read more →
Much like Marilyn Monroe, this 5 letter phrase is something that I live by. I wish I could count the number of eye rolls I get whenever I say these words a loud, ha, but honestly I believe this. We all have a plan. Awful things happen yes, and some things seem incomprehensible and wrong, but I must stick to my… Read more →
