12 times 'Scandal' Might Seem Weird To You If You Don't Watch The Show

Let's face it. If you're a Gladiator (meaning you watch and are obsessed with Scandal) then you can for sure say that what you see on the show doesn't surprise you. Not even when Quinn and Huck were screwing in front of the blood on the floor after killing someone. Though, Abby was surely grossed out.

However, if you don't always watch the show or are relatively new to the show and are catching up then you might find yourself saying, "that's so weird", out loud and wondering why these characters have so many issues. And for that folks, I bestow upon you the weirdest scenes or lines from Scandal.

Gladiator vs Non-Gladiator

Gladiator: Totally like Mellie

Non-Gladiator: Wait...what? Did she seriously just tell her husband that?

Gladiator: Wait what? This is so not like Olivia Pope!

Non-Gladiator: Isn't it kinda weird that people find it shocking that she's scared...I don't get it...

Gladiator: Just stop. You don;t understand

Gladiator: Yasss girl! Preach.

Non-Gladiator: How did the crazy guy save her? Seriously?!

Gladiator: You go Olivia! She never get what she wants, so she deserves it.

Non-Gladiator: What's so special about her saying, "I want..."???

Gladiator: There goes crazy-ass Mellie again...

Non-Gladiator: Wait, Why would the first lady beg the President's mistress to sleep with him??? That's weird.

Gladiator: Oh Cyrus, you love bug! Haha
Non-Gladiator: How can he talk about his husband like that?

Gladiator: That time VP Sally went and made religious excuses for killing her husband...
Non-Gladiator: Wait, her husband not only cheated on her but went against their religious beliefs and is gay? And is validating her reasons to kill? These characters have all kinds of issues.

Gladiator: I expected nothing less than to see Quinn and Huck screwing by the blood of the person they just killed. Those crazy kids, haha! Abby don't seem so shocked!
Non-Gladiator: WHAT? This show is on another level of weird..

Gladiator: Go away. We are team Olitz. #ByeFelicia

Non-Gladiator: Olivia gets engaged to this handsome guy then leaves him for some affair with the President, what is she thinking?

Gladiator: Another Huck and Quinn moment....Ah the torture scene just before they fell in lust with each other. Yep, totally normal guys.

Non-Gladiator: Woah! He just tortured her, pulled out her teeth and then they end up having an affair? Hold up, rewind. I'm so confused...

Gladiator: You go girl. You have every right to be grieving for the loss of your son. Who cares what Fitz thinks.

Non-Gladiator: Why is the first lady parading around everywhere in her PJ's...and drunk?! And why are people laughing? This is sad...isn't it? 

Gladiator: Ahhahahaha...This bitch is crazy...and we love it! Sit down and be her friend Olivia...

Non-Gladiator: Why...just why? This show is beyond weird. Smh.

Relationship expectations and how they are ruining your relationships (Article on GenTwenty)

Have you all checked out my most recent published article on GenTwenty.com? The article is about relationship expectations and discussing how they are ruining your relationships of all kinds. Thank you again Gen Twenty. I'm so happy to be able to write for GenTwenty and also TwentySomethingLiving.com!

Relationship Expectations and How they are Ruining your Relationships

Until next time!

Xoxo,

The chilling fact is...You don't really know anyone but yourself.

It's the couple you see in the house across from you having dinner together. The man walking his dog at night, the family down the street getting home and getting ready for dinner. The woman who lives alone, the man who lives alone, and the couple that has no children. It's your mailman, a stranger that walked by you, the guy at your local grocery store, and the woman who teaches 10th grade. It's the dad of a friend, it's a female relative, the guy riding his bike, and the couple who walks together. It's the picture perfect couple who sits at dinner, across from each other, smiles politely and continues their elegant dinner that the wife cooked after work, in silence. 

All of these people have one thing in common, they've all either had an affair, raped someone, or more drastically...are a murderer. 

From the movie Gone Girl. The creepy husband with his dead wife.

Have you ever stopped in your tracks and looked around you? Really looked into the eyes of complete strangers or into the fake smiles of your neighbors. For all you know, that lovely neighbor could have murdered 12 children. For all you know you walked by a stranger who just got done raping someone. For all you know, when you sit down at dinner tonight across from your husband or wife, they could be hiding an affair from you and you wouldn't even know it. 

Can we honestly say we truly know the person sleeping next to us at night? Do we really know that they would never harm a hair on anyone? How do you know that? How do you know that one day something won't tick in their mind and make them commit a sinful act? And after they're done, they go home, act like nothing happened, lay next to you in bed, and hold you in their arms.  And yet, you feel so safe in that person's arms. 

Who's to say that guy walking his dog, isn't going to meet up with a woman and have sex with her? Who's to say the couple with the lovely family down the street isn't in an abusive relationship? 

The chilling truth is we don't know. The chilling fact is that you never truly know a person, because you do not control their thoughts or their actions. So what makes us so keen to feeling safe with a significant other? Where in our minds do we really know that our spouse would never harm us or anyone else? 

I people watch, a lot. I love observing people and really feel like you get to know a piece of a stranger just by watching them and their actions. The way they talk to people, the way they have no patience, the way they yell at their wife, or the creepy feeling you get from certain people. You can learn a lot about people just by sitting down on a bench and observing for an hour. 

As I work around so many different people and strangers every day, I think about this from time to time. I think about the thoughts going through someones head. I think about that innocent kiss a husband gives to his wife before leaving to work. I think about that overly uptight couple who properly sit across from each other at dinner, and I think about all their secrets they keep from one another. They seem so perfect, and so neat and proper, but inside they are holding many secrets of unhappiness and deceit. 

It's an even scarier thought that our fathers, mothers, siblings, or grown children can be one of these things; a murderer, a rapist, and adulterer, or an abuser. 

I wonder when did we lose all ration within ourselves to completely give our trust, and really give the safety of our lives to others. When did we become so engulfed in the theory that true love really makes us feel safe from the 'bad guys', when that person could possibly be a 'bad guy'? How do we accept risking our lives for some other person that we love?

Sure, one can argue trust, loyalty, and actions prove that they're safe and not one of the bad guys. But where in the argument can you validate your sureness that they don't have the capability to harm another human being if they so easily choose to? 

It comes down to this...we really don't know. We really can't pick out the good guys from the bad guys. It's so twisted now a days, that the perfect husband could be either or. Simply because it's just human nature, we ignore these evil thoughts, we choose to be naive when deep down inside these thoughts have most likely crossed your mind. 

What scares me most is that the bad people are usually good and the good people are usually bad. How do I really know that the lovely man who just smiled at me isn't a serial rapist or murderer? It's questions that repeatedly go through our minds. It's logic vs reality. It's empathy vs adversity. It's you against them. 

Tonight when you're lying in bed collecting your thoughts from the day, look over at your spouse, look at the picture of your children all grown up, look at the pictures of your family. Ask yourself how much you do you really know about the closest people in your life? Then turn over and fall asleep, and forget all about those scary thoughts. Because this article will make you think, but chances are you will block the thoughts out of your mind forever and continue on with your day to day life. You'll wake up, kiss your husband on the lips before he heads to work, wave hello to your neighbors, have a nice but brief conversation with the barista at Starbucks, then head to work and be around people you see more than your family. The day will go on, the week will come to an end, and a new week will start. You'll probably never have these horrid thoughts again. Your life will go on. And maybe none of those people will ever commit one of those sins, or maybe they will. But what do you care, so long as it isn't happening to you right?

Laci & Scott Peterson. They seemed like a happy couple, a handsome guy and a beautiful girl. If you passed them in the street you would probably never think Scott looked like a murderer. But he was. 

When curiosity becomes reality

You pull out of that driveway, you take a quick look in the rear view mirror, then take a deep breath. You ask yourself, "Did that really just happen?". Moments later you're on your way home and the flashbacks start coming. One moment you're thinking about how you're going to have to act normal in front of your husband, the next minute you're remembering your lover ripping off your clothes. You can't help but feel this guilty pleasure, yet a satisfaction about what just happened. Every emotion is running through your body and every thought that races through your mind, is of the last two hours. You keep picturing your lover on top of you, behind you, pleasuring you, lusting...for you and only you. 

This is an all too familiar scene of real life. I've heard the stories countless times, over and over again, told in different ways. The first and initial excitement of having an affair for the first time. Whether it was someone  cheating on their spouse or someone sleeping with someones spouse, it was some type of affair. There's a chill that runs through the room when you hear these stories. I know people who take pleasure in the excitement alone. I know people who felt so guilty and never did it again. And I know people who got obsessed and drawn into that world of adultery, sex, lies and the adrenaline rush of it all.

How does someone go from a seemingly normal life to this? I believe there are so many different reasons. From the unhappy housewife, to the husband who felt like he settled and wanted 'more'. 'More'... A common phrase I hear in all of these scenarios. "I just wanted more, I wanted to feel alive again. I wanted to feel loved and I wanted the attention". 

As I sit back and reflect on other peoples curiosities, I started to reflect on my own. I've never cheated on a boyfriend. But the curiosity struck me once. Did I act on it? No. But I understand why people do act on it. I'm not saying it's right, because it isn't. But in the world we live in today, monogamy seems to be rare. Curiosity is in all of us. It's in those who are unhappy. It's in those who are completely happy. Every person has their reason for cheating. Every person has their reason for their curiosity. 

I had a friend who was completely happy with his wife, but he also had a girlfriend on the side. He said the sex with both was good but both women offered up different things for him. I personally don't get it, but people have their reasons. I have another friend who practically gets off from having sex with married guys. She says it's the excitement of it all. Being someone else's secret turns her on and the fact that it even is a secret turns both of them on and leads to incredible sex in different places. I have a friend who is married, and recently cheated for the first time and described the whole experience to me. She said it was amazing. But that she would never do it again. She was unhappy with her marriage and her and her husband rarely had sex. But once she experienced that thrilling night with a handsome stranger, she went back home and had sex with her husband. Now she says their sex life is incredible. All because of that experience. 

I understand curiosity. We all have it. Some of us don't act on it and just fantasize about it, while others do act on it and get their excitement that way. It seems to me that a lot of people are not attracted to the idea of being monogamous. But why? Are people such cowards that they can't break up with a person before cheating on them? Are people so obsessed with the pure excitement of adultery? My guess is both. There are a lot of people who see nothing wrong with this because this is unfortunately so normal. In the world of adultery, comes lies, sex and obsession with everything in between. My only question is, how many of you have acted on your curiosities? If you have already acted on it, why did you? 

Be the CEO of your Life!

Being an independent person is one of the most valuable and most rewarding assets you could ever have in your life. Taking charge of your own life and of your own existence should empower you to do and be a better person in life, because there is always room for improvement. 

I see it everyday, in family and friends...people who depend on others. Independence does not come easy. It takes a lot of hard work and it takes a certain confidence in yourself to be able to step out into the world on your own. From purchasing your first car to buying your first home, being independent is so rewarding. I like to say that when you work hard and strive for the best, then there isn't anything you can't achieve. When you invest your time in schooling and/or your career, that's how you get ahead. Being independent and in control of your life, however, comes from within. 

Being an independent person doesn't just mean achieving our materialistic wants, it also means achieving self awareness. Knowing who you are and what defines you. Knowing that no one but yourself can define the person you are. The gratification of knowing what it means to love yourself outweighs the momentary gratification of having a materialistic item. As people say...money isn't everything; but self empowerment on the other hand, will give you happiness for the rest of your life. In order to start feeling and being independent, I believe it takes knowing who you are and being self aware of your love for yourself.

For those who don't know how to gain independence follow my advice and hear these words when I say, go boldly in the direction you seek. If you see yourself in a situation that is holding you back, then do what you need to, to move forward from it. I want to take a moment to acknowledge that there are some who were raised in an abusive and/or controlling environment. For these people, I must urge you to recognize that those environments and those people do NOT define you. They do not decide what you do with the rest of your life, nor do they dictate your thoughts. Be the best you, empower yourself, surround yourself with positive, strong, independent people. Those people are the ones who will empower you and encourage you, not bring you down or remind you of your past. In the words of one of my favorite authors, Meg Jay, "The unlived life is not worth examining". Don't look back, only look forward. 

It's hard to imagine yourself in a place in your life you are unfamiliar with. It's hard to envision yourself being someone your are currently not. But gaining your independence doesn't happen over night. For me, it took a little therapy because I needed help examining my life and figuring out who I was. Then I started to read books upon books, and articles. All of which were about being independent, loving yourself, letting go of the negative aspects in your life, what defines you, and how to take all that information and utilize it in your life. If you put forth both the effort and time, I guarantee you, it will be rewarding. There's no better feeling than waking up every day of your life and feeling an inner peace in your heart and mind. Whether you are spiritual, religious or neither, finding that inner peace is a gratifying feeling. 

Independence comes from within and from taking control over your life. Once you have that control of your inner peace and your life, it's time to announce your independence because you've done it. You've learned what it means to go through life not only empowering yourself, but empowering others as well. Most importantly, you've been through many lows to get to these great highs and you now know what defines you. Once you know what it is to have all of this, you're independent, you're strong, and you're the CEO of your own life. Embrace it.

Why Your Twenties Matter

When you are in your twenties, I think there comes a point in your life where you have to just stop and examine your life. Where am I going? What am I going to do for my career? Am I going to get married and settle down right away? Should I just take a job that I hate but will pay me well? Should I have kids soon or wait until my thirties? Or can I just cruise through my twenties and then start life?

These are just a few of many questions that go through the mind of a twenty something year old person. As a person who is in her twenties (23 going on 24 in a few months), I know what it feels like to feel lost and feel somewhat stuck in life. It's an unsettling feeling and it can be very stressful. 

I see this most in the following two categories of people in their twenties: The ones who just graduated college or grad school and don't know what they want to do with their degree and are possibly still living at home. And the ones who go from job to job or have a mediocre job; are struggling to make ends meet and don't know how to go back to college or don't know what direction to go in. 

It can be really hard and even depressing. After reading an amazing book, feeling this way myself, and doing some soul searching, I stopped thinking that way. I'm going after things I want. I am working hard and saving up money, I have a 5 year plan and I will meet my goals. It's not going to be easy and it's going to take some time. But there are things I plan to accomplish before I turn 30. And I want to be at a certain place in my life by the time I'm 26. It's going to take a lot of motivation and a lot of focus. At the end of the day, it's all about determination, dedication, and devotion. I plan to succeed in all three areas. 

The book I read was an eye opener. Written by a clinical psychologist who was also a clinical professor at the University of Virginia; Meg Jay studied twentysomethings for most of her career. It was her focus and and she spent years understanding people in their twenties and everything about them and their lives. The book is called "The Defining Decade: Why your Twenties matter- and how to make the most of them now". She goes on about several clients she has over the years and examining the differences between clients in their twenties and thirties. One of Meg Jay's points is that so many people think that our thirties are our defining decade. But we are so wrong- it's actually our twenties that matter. Believe it or not, a lot of people believe the defining decade is their thirties; even I did. Until I read this life changing book. 

What stood out most to me, was that she speaks about how these defining moments are already happening in our twenties, and how most of us don't even recognize them. She goes on to say that the book is about recognizing these moments that define us in our twenties and how to make the most of them right now. For those who don't think our twenties matter, I urge you to re-evaluate that thought process and realize that they really do! Read her book; it really puts some things into perspective, and it will possibly change your mind set on your own life, as it did for me. 

Re-evaluate where you are in your life, stop and think about what's going on in your life. From your relationships with family members, your hobbies and interests, your friends, your career, and your goals in life. Trust me when I say you will thank me for introducing you to my blog and to Meg Jay's book, and you will thank Meg Jay also for writing that book. 

What I love most about her philosophy is that she thinks differently than your typical psychologist. She went against what most therapists would tell their clients and she expresses such strong and powerful beliefs in her philosophies on therapy. The following quote is one of my favorites from her book. 

     "The unlived life is not worth examining" -Sheldon Kopp

Every time I read it, I feel the power in that message and its meaning. It means that we shouldn't look back at the life we haven't lived, but only look at the life we can start to live. 

Infamous Break-up Methods

The infamous scene from the show 'Sex and the City'. Carrie Bradshaw's boyfriend broke-up with her by leaving a post-it on her laptop. The sticky note reads, "I'm sorry. I can't. Don't hate me-".

With texting being the number one form of communication these days, not to mention all forms of social media, it's also the most heard of way to break-up with someone. Everyone knows someone who got dumped over text, Facebook, Twitter or the infamous 'post-it' sticky, as seen on 'Sex and the City'. What gives a person a right to use these methods to break-up? Has breaking it off with someone become so unconventional, that we need to stoop to such lows?

I see it daily. From my Twitter feed to my Facebook feed, every day I see some kind of post in regards to a couple fighting, a couple breaking up, and immature posts, usually from women.

Ladies, we are usually known as the more mature mate in relationships. When did we all become so immature and careless as to post all your dirty laundry onto the Internet?
Guys, you are usually known as the more private mate in relationships. When did it become OK to end things with your girl through a stupid text or announcing it through social media before she even knows? 

I can recall about a year ago, seeing something blow up on my news feed on Facebook. A girl I went to High School with had posted about how upset she was because the guy she had been with for quite some time, had broken it off with her over Facebook, and she didn't even know until a friend notified her. She literally had the misfortune of having to find out on her Facebook when the guy had changed his relationship status to 'Single'. When she tried to contact him, he had blocked her. He didn't return her calls...nothing. All she asked for was the decency for him to explain to her why. As anyone would want to know. Yet, he never did.

Why is it that people are too lazy or too careless to break-up with someone in this way? I think most of us prefer a face to face break-up. Although, some prefer and are OK with, an over the phone break-up. I consider over the phone the same as texting. I mean, get real people, if you have been with someone for a couple of years, have the decency to call them up and ask them to meet you somewhere. I believe there to be only one exception to this. If you have only been seeing someone shortly, like less than 3 months, then over the phone is maybe appropriate. BUT, in person would still be nicer. Since there is no real nice way of breaking up with someone, it's the least we can do.

I conducted a poll recently asking friends this question: "What do you think is the worst way to break-up with someone?" A lot of people replied with 'text'. Others replied with social media, or not returning texts/calls, completely cut off with no response or reason. I wasn't the least bit shocked to hear this. It happens so commonly that its almost expected, and it really shouldn't be. I think Reality TV is one of the causes of making people believe that it's acceptable to break-up with someone like this. Its all you see now a days.

"Omg, he just texted me telling me that it's not going to work anymore, WTF?!" 

"She just changed her relationship status to single, let me call up my girl, I don't know what she's trying to say?" 
"I was in a meeting and he left a message on my voicemail saying it was over and to never call him again. What? How can he do this...Why?" 

Sound familiar? Chances are you have heard a friend or relative repeat one of those lines.

In order to end this trend, we need to restore what was once a given. When you break-up with someone, you should ask them to meet up with you, anywhere, and sit them down and 'talk' with them. Yes, people dread the 'talk', but it's honestly the most decent way to go about it. If we had to choose, I think most of us, men and women, would agree that this is the way we would want to be dumped. Next time you are feeling things aren't working out with someone, do the proper thing and the decent thing, tell them in person. Don't be another statistic. Don't put yourself in that awful category of people who break-up over text or social media.

Text-lationships and revealing your true self

In the most recent generation of young adults, we are seeing so many new terms and made up words for our technology driven lives. From Tinder dates, to sexting, to twerking....well how about text-lationships? Sounds a bit crazy, but it's the newest term being used. And I'm about to give you all the inside scoop.

Have you ever found yourself wanting to be in a relationship, so you go on Tinder or meet someone in person, and then how does it begin 99% of the time? With sending each other a multitude of texts daily until you meet up for the first date. Recently I spoke to a friend who met this seemingly great guy. She said they met on tinder, texted for about two weeks (making sure he wasn't some creep), then decided to meet up for the first time. She was so excited, and she couldn't wait to meet him, after all, they talked daily and exchanged goodmorning texts to goodnight texts. It seemed great! Until they met in person. They had nothing to talk about on their first date. She said it was so awkward. They never saw each other again, and the multitude of texts, suddenly stopped altogether. 

You see, I think a lot of us get so caught up hiding behind our phones, in every aspect, that we forget how to be humans, literally and physically. And in these cases, we develop a text-lationship with someone, feeling more comfortable behind the phone than in person. I would describe a text-lationship as a relationship between two people, and the only form of contact or communication is texting. You don't see that person, you don't talk on the phone, just text. It's really both as simple and lame as that. 

This generation of young adults is so technology driven that we are forgetting who we are, and how to interact. When did we become so comfortable with the idea of hiding behind a cell phone. When did it become okay of us to become a whole other person because we don't need to meet in person. I mean, wake up people! I see this newest trend happening more and more. And it really shouldn't be. 

We've all been subject to this in one form of another. Even if it's innocently texting just get to know the person before meeting up. My advice:

1. Hold off on the texting, no cute texts such as goodmorning or goodnight, until after you meet.
2. If you want to get to know the person, pick up the phone. Keep the primary conversations short, until after you meet in person. Trust me when I say, it will help your relationship in the long run.
3. And most guys like a woman who plays hard to get, not too much, just a little. If they do text you, wait like 10 minutes to text them back, don't respond right away every time.

These aren't rules, just advice. I don't believe in rules when it comes to dating and relationships. These are just a few ways to get a relationship started off the right way and how to avoid a text-lationship.

In the generation of Instagram celebrities, it's so easy to jump on the bandwagon. A lot of people make up this alternate persona, appealing to the Instagram audience, only to boost their popularity with people they don't even know. Saddest part? We're nothing like our Instagram profiles. We usually appear skinnier, smarter, and are amateur photographers. We seemingly live a very awesome life, when in reality, most of these people hate their jobs, are overwhelmed with their kids, and some are not happy in their romantic relationships. But as always, their Instagram profile says otherwise.

With all these new and quirky terms, technology is taking over our lives, but don't let it. You want to be in a real relationship and represent your true self? Then leave behind the social media, the rules, and the technology. You tell me if you see a change in your relationships and/or dating...because the chances are good that you will.

Getting back into dating

Dating. It can be so much fun or so much work. I've been single for a good while now. And I kind of love it. There are times when it can get boring or times where I wish I had a boyfriend to cuddle with and watch a movie on a Friday night. But all in all, being single just seems to be so easy that it makes me not want to put in work. 

For the longest time I felt like that. But now I feel like I'm ready to get back into the dating game. I'm ready to start dating again; ready to go out on the 'several dates' before you know if the guy is relationship material. When you're enjoying single life, dating seems like work. But in fact it's so easy to make it fun! 

Whats a typical first date night like for me? Well, as always I think I'm starting early by giving myself two hours, when in reality I always end up running a little late. Although if I really like the guy, I'm usually ready on time. Funny how that works right? I start off by doing my hair and make up then picking the outfit and the look. Choosing the right accessories, the right lip color, and the right shoes. Then it's waiting for him to pick me up or if I'm meeting the guy then it's waiting for him to show up at the destination. I have yet to go on a date where the guy is early. No surprise there, but man would it be nice if I could date a guy who is early for once. 

My idea of a good first date, is grabbing a coffee, dinner, somewhere where we can talk so we can get to know each other. Somewhere not too noisy. The last thing you want is to be yelling at each other at some loud bar. I'm not a difficult person to please. I like simplicity. Would it be nice to meet a guy who goes above and beyond? YES! That would be awesome, but I have yet to meet that dream guy. I like to think that if a guy was going above and beyond for the first date then he would take me somewhere romantic like a horse drawn carriage in the park downtown, then maybe somewhere with a to-die-for view of the city. That would be amazing in my eyes. 

Point is, I'm ready to get back out there, and I'm excited to see what comes my way. I'm going to make the best of it and if I meet someone amazing then great. Dating should be fun, and I have a feeling it will be.

The New Tinder: Do you believe in Tinderella?

So Tinder got revamped today. They released a newer version of the app available for update. For those who aren't familiar with Tinder, it is a modern day version of online dating meets social interaction. When looking for matches you either swipe right for yes or left for no. Once you select yes to that match, if that match also selected yes to you then the next step allows you both to message each other. People use Tinder for dating, hook-ups, serious relationships, or just to find a friend to hangout with. Often people just visiting in town will look to this app to meet up with people that will show them all the hot spots around town.  

This morning Tinder upped its game by now allowing something called 'moments'. Similar to Instagram and seeing a Instagram-like feed. Basically you can now see real life moments from someone you were matched with instead of just their set of main pictures shown on their profile. 

While some people see this as a cool socializing app or an easy hook-up, others see this as an easier way of finding someone to date and eventually have a serious relationship. You may have heard of some horrible first Tinder dates, or you may have heard of a Tinder success story. I know people who have even found friends on the app and still remain friends today. 

Some may argue that Tinder is tedious but one would have to admit, that whatever the reason you are on Tinder, it works. With this update offered this morning, and after exploring the app myself, I must say bravo Tinder, bravo! The question remains.... Do you believe in Tinderella?
