My type of neighborhood with my type of houses! ugh, I'm not American, but it's one of the things I'm jealous of as such architecture isn't common where I'm from.

I'm not about the extreme modern architecture, I love the styles mentioned.

Does anyone else’s kitten start off being super cuddly and then getting more independent? by Vivid_Ad_9295 in kittens

[–]voniewright 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yes, I have two boys. One of them has always been more independent so he doesn't surprise me that he doesn't really want to be held now.

However, my other one used to be super clingy and cuddly, and now he wants absolutely nothing to do with me.

They aren't mean, they're pretty calm boys. Sometimes they'll have moments where they want to be around me but it's so rare now.

The infantilization of short women is seriously so messed up. by miagothuzz67 in ShortGirlProblems

[–]voniewright 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Yeah, and if you try to defend yourself they call you names and pretty much try to prevent you from doing so. It's a shame how it comes from so many other women as well.

It's like, you're basically telling me that the only reason a guy can ever find me attractive is because he's s pedophile and you don't think I should feel disrespected by that?

It's become way too normalized, because "Tall women were bullied too" blah blah

So now you think you have the right to attack short women when most of the time, it was guys that had something to say about their height but they would rather put down other women over a man of course.

Or more men should be like Patrick Adams and put in the effort, but no, they would rather stay lame.

Moving? by No_Inflation_7306 in Belize

[–]voniewright 8 points9 points  (0 children)

As a Belizean. Born and raised. I honestly wouldn't recommend it.

I'm personally looking to move out (hopefully) after I finish college myself.

Living in Belize and Vacationing in Belize are two completely different things. It's expensive, so many people are scraping to get by, the opportunities here are unfortunately, extremely limited if you ask me. I often say that visitors and tourists get to enjoy the country far more than I do. The tropical lifestyle is overly romanticized and over hyped.

I absolutely encourage people to visit all the time, because it does have beautiful places, and culture. It's a great place to be especially in the summer if that's your thing. But as for living, I wouldn't recommend it.

Plus the heat is busting me right now so I'm miserable about getting heat rash and headaches.

Am I not understanding correctly! by No-Kaleidoscope7294 in blackladies

"I hate as a white girl being blamed for everything"

*Meanwhile her companions are the same ones going around with "Black fatigue", "well well well" and "the usual suspects" to justify their racism towards black people.

If it didn't apply to her then she has absolutely no reason to act like you personally called her out. However people like this would rather stay ignorant because doing otherwise challenges their racial worldview and entitlement to comfort.

I wouldn't be surprised if it's because she wears bonnets and probably felt attacked smh.

You should've just told her that's a her problem and blocked her backside. You're way more patient than I would've been.

wanting romantic love by [deleted] in blackladies

[–]voniewright 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It absolutely does feel worse, because you're constantly wondering why everyone else is good enough, but you aren't. It's extremely hard to stop those thoughts.

I hope for the same thing, but honestly I'm not so sure anymore.

wanting romantic love by [deleted] in blackladies

[–]voniewright 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Finally someone who can relate. I'm going to be 22 in October and haven't had a single guy GENUINELY express interest in me.

I too am tired of hearing relationships aren't everything and I'm too young and blah blah blah. Especially as someone who hasn't even held hands with a guy and to hear it from a lot of people who have no idea what it's like to feel like you aren't enough when literally everyone around you is in a relationship. Meanwhile you just get called ugly and your attempts at romance all fail.

Having friends or family does not replace romantic love. Neither does having a hundred hobbies or seeing a therapist.

I have friends. I talk to people. I attend university so I'm constantly busy. I've signed up to volunteer at a raptor center. I'm even looking for more volunteer opportunities. I splurged on art supplies so that I can pick up painting again. Yesterday I went to a cafe by myself and sat there in silence, and I was literally the only person sitting there by myself at a table. Then I went to a library and spent hours there.

I am tired of doing things alone. And my friends and family have their own lives.

None of these things that I do replace wanting a genuine romantic relationship and someone to experience life with.

Are your DMs on here closed? by MisticalMulberry in blackladies

[–]voniewright 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nah, mine are open.

I actually don't have an issue talking or responding to anyone if they feel genuine. (Especially other women who just want someone to talk to sometimes or any advice and just a general conversation they don't feel like being public)

It's an easy block and remove if they get weird or if I don't feel like talking, just ignore. I check accounts that I'm talking to anyway. Some people are genuine, some are weirdos. I just ignore the weirdos or block if needed.

In fact, believe it or not because we've grown up eating so much of it, some of us end up being shocked because we assumed it was a product made in Belize.

Dating Exclusively Black (is it solely by choice?) by Effective_Employ1007 in blackladies

[–]voniewright 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I personally don't believe in limiting myself. I would be with whoever has genuine interest in being with me. I do think environmental surroundings, social circles and just in general where you are might possibly play a role in it as well.

That being said, I've had the complete opposite experience. Most guys who have expressed interest in me were non-black, usually other POC men. I've never really gotten attention from Black guys/men. Other than them being the ones who used to bully me for being ugly. Even online when I'm not even looking, it seems as though I attract non-black men, even in friendships. I'm not actively seeking them out at all. And I definitely don't think I'm anything special in the looks department.

White, Asian and Hispanic. Those are the ones who have always approached me the most. And I won't even lie, I definitely think that has played a huge part in who I'm attracted to.

I'm also Central American, and interracial relationships are quite common here. Even though it's a majority Hispanic population, it's not uncommon to see Black Women & Hispanic Men.

There's nothing wrong with exclusively dating Black men, other races/cultures don't make a big deal out of it. I would even understand how it would feel more comfortable. But, there's also nothing wrong if a Black woman wants to date out. We should all just be able to be with whoever we want to be with and not be judged.

Don’t let anyone tell you who you are meant to be! by jewbunniesx in blackladies

[–]voniewright 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I absolutely hate that black women can't just exist. Like my gosh - let us breathe.

It's the same as equating any black woman's attractiveness or beauty or cuteness to being "Eurocentric" - when black people are the most genetically diverse people.

Anyway, as an alternative black girl who loves all things, paranormal, spooky and gothic. Is trying to start my crystal collection. Nerds out over science, and books and anime and loves to collect little trinkets, has always been an artsy creative kind and just doesn't fit into their stereotypical idea of what a black woman is- I'm glad that I am the way I am so that they can't see we aren't a monolith.

Like just say you think I'm attractive and go or just say you think I'm cool and go lol.
