A Copy Is Never An Original (Commentary) SashaMoniqueTalks

                                                       A Copy Is Never An Original

Hello, everyone.  This post is near and dear to my heart.  I have been in social media for about five years now. I love social media because it is a way to express myself but it is also a way to share and have an exchange with like-minded people.  I find a lot of joy and I am sincerely happy with the people that I have met via social media. I have to admit that it is very hard to navigate your way through the maze of originality in social media, why? because social media is a popularity show.  If you are not in the in-crowd you are (out).  This is something that is not said, but, it is a fact.

Some people have given up being themselves and showing what they can bring to the table because they are afraid of the isolation and the backlash. When people found out that they can make money with numerous social media websites it is becoming a competition and greed is rearing its ugly head. Being yourself takes a back seat to the many imitators who have decided that they will mirror someone's life and style to make the amount of money they want and to gain popularity.

An imitation is a form of flattery but you will always be known as a copycat.   I have seen so many people making up fake stories to gain views and social media prestige.  Later on, if you decide to be yourself will you get the attention that you need?  No, because, a lot of times, people do not like change.

I would urge people to be their original selves and you will find your rightful place in social media.  To promote yourself and grow is hard work but you will find more pride and peace of mind, knowing that you have made it by your own measure.   Never compare yourself to someone's beginning because you don't know what their end will be.  Allow your own light to shine and you will receive your own accolades and glory.

What are you all doing for Memorial Day?



Hello, Ladies and Gentlemen.  I am coming in to see what you all are doing for Memorial Day.  Recently, I had a conversation with someone regarding cook-outs.  I discussed the fact that you do not see many cook-outs due to problems with crime.  Many days I miss when our parents and aunts and uncles would have a cook-out and they would have plenty of food and delicious desserts.

Crime is rampant and many people have opted out of cook-outs in my area because of fights breaking out and murders.  I would love to go back to the peaceful days of getting together with family to celebrate.  I have many memories of the homemade ice cream that was made just for the occasion.

Going shopping is on the agenda for me and my family.  I will be catching those sales and then back home to relax.

I wish you a happy and safe Memorial Day and can you leave down in the comment section about the things you will be doing and you can also include a past memory?

Happy Mother's Day (What Makes Mom So Wonderful?)

Happy Mother's Day Ladies.  A mother is a nurturer because God put special qualities in her to create life, bring life, and make the family dynamic stronger.  She is blessed with the right words to say to her children and she is, in fact, a healer.  Healer because she can kiss a cut and magically it feels better.  When we are down and our day doesn't go right, she is there to encourage and bring a fresh perspective to the situation.  Her ears and her heart are always open and she is one of the few people who will really tell us the truth.

A mother is a Lion because she will protect her cubs at any cost and you better watch what you say about her children because she will rip you apart if you do not have anything positive to say.
Now, there are many women without children who I still consider a mom because if they have nurtured a child who wasn't their own, a plant that they help grow to new heights or a pet that they have nursed back to health, they are indeed a mom.

To all the single moms out there who have raised a child or children without the help of a man, my thanks go out to you for all of your struggles and hard work that you put into your children.  Believe me, they will never forget all that you have done for them.   Have a wonderful day and God bless you.
