I begged a dude for 3 years to get his act right and it seemed like the more I begged the worse he got. The more I cried the less he cared! The more I gave the more he took! The more I did the less he saw!! I was mentally, physically & emotionally drained. I finally left not because I didn't love him anymore but because I couldn't love him anymore. It was so unhealthy I was not wanting to live anymore. I saw a post that said “You either gonna keep letting him hurt you or love yourself enough to move on!” Finally I remembered the hurt I felt. I remembered crying begging for him to love me. I remembered endless nights I didn't sleep, I barely ate. I remember lying to everyone, about every time he broke my heart. I remember everything that man did to me that made me feel less of a woman and at that moment was when I knew I was really done. We try so hard to forget the hurt in our heads but our hearts never do no matter how much we forgive. Stop forgetting & remember because love shouldn't hurt. 💯
This is Corion Evans.
While he was driving in Mississippi, he saw a car swerve and crash into a river. Without hesitating, he ran out, jumped into the water, and rescued three girls inside.
He was 16 at the time.
The driver of the vehicle stated she was following her GPS and did not realize she was going into the water.
Corion Evans said he immediately ran over, took off his shoes and shirt and went into the water when he saw the car sinking and heard the three occupants shouting for help.
When Police Officer Gary Mercer responded to the scene, he attempted to bring one person to shore who began panicking and caused him to struggle under water.
Evans helped rescue him, too.
Officials presented Evans with a certificate of commendation for his heroism in rescuing the four people. They also recognized Mercer for his "bravery in the rescue."

If the child on the left was old enough to pick cotton and the child on the right was old enough to attend Klan rallies, then today's children are old enough to learn about both of these and how they've led us to where we are today.
Let’s get something straight, this brother wasn’t just a security guard, he is Damien Pickett, a 56-year-old co-captain of Harriott Lane.
Let’s put some respect on his name. #MontgomeryAlabama
You're not serious about ending homelessness if you don't address the systemic barriers into housing.
Application fees, credit checks, making 3x the rent, no pets, giant deposits.
It's hard for a housed person to get into an apt. - imagine how hard it is for someone in a tent.
