Many people take life for granted. Some look at it as if it’s a gift and others look at it as “too much work” or turmoil. We kiss our teeth and roll our eyes over the thought of fighting for our happiness. But when something goes wrong in our life we tend to give up on it. Or even worse, holding someone else responsible when life doesn’t give us what we want. Moving day to day, with no plan, no goals and ultimately no rewards. Life is way too short to waste it on negativity. We only get one life so live it up the best way you can. You got people that haven’t done shit with their life but complain about it. Running around whining about how their life is the worse but do nothing to improve it. Laying around mumbling about frivolous shit like it’s the end of the world. They went unnoticed, haven’t done anything for themselves and probably just as, if not more, miserable and confused as you are. But the difference between you and them is that you’re making a change with your life. Here we are, not even old yet, and already giving up on the blueprint to our serenity.

Don’t be afraid to take a chance. Life is all about risks and learning from your experiences. If you’ve done things that didn’t work, do something else. Failed your classes when your major was Forensics Science?…chose a different major and try again. Got dumped by a girl for the 5th time?…find another one that’s better then the last. If you do absolutely nothing for yourself or for your life how do you expect to have a good one? The only way you’ll receive a reward for what you do is if you worked hard for it. A closed mouth don’t get fed. When you think negatively, you attract negativity. When you confront your life with negative thoughts, you’ll have experiences to confirm what you’re thinking. What you believe people and the world are doing to you is actually a reflection of what your thoughts are drawing to you. Positive thoughts, aspects and goals brings happiness throughout the darkness in your life. The better you are at nurturing, supporting and believing in yourself, the better life gets.

If you continue to keep purpose in your mind and have faith in happiness, you will find it. You know what makes you happy and will keep you there in the long run, so go for it. It’ll give you a peace of mind. So many people go through life believing they’re being cheated or the world owes them something. No one owes you anything. You owe it to yourself because you choose & accepted what you receive. We create whatever we want in our lives. All you need is proper guidance and a perception to get there. You ever sit alone in your room and found yourself engulfed in your own thoughts, unplanned? I find myself doing that almost every night before going to bed. Some may call it “getting old” but I call it finding my true inner peace.

This is how the conversation would go:
him: I don’t think we should date anymore.
me: Okay. Why?
him: I just don’t think we should.
me: Oh, well, you have a nice night!
him: You too.

This is how the conversation should go:
him: I don’t think we should date anymore.
me: Okay. Why?
him: Because I’m a faggot ass bitch and I prefer to take dick in my booty.
me: Oh, well, you have a nice night!
him: You too.

On another note…why is it that when you give people your all, you only get half in return? I am very particular about who gets to know me and to receive the most endearing side of my nature. So when I do decide to show them that, I expect great appreciation. Keyword = expect. However, it doesn’t always end up that way. You got all of these half-ass people running around, looking for a way to fill in their incoherent void that’s poisoned in their hearts. Sponges is what I like to call them. When you do decide to only give some of yourself, that usually end up being the person who’s most deserving of your 100% and you lose them because they feel you’re not making the glass full. Then you got some people who will throw up this facade that’s fitting to what you appeal to, yearning for your all and when they finally get it, they abuse it. This is the battle I’ve always had when it comes down to relationships. All areas of relationships at that. Whether it’s friends, family, work or companionship. But the area where it’s being hit the most, of course, is companionship. I take all of these risks to weed out the good from the bad because I believe that’s the strive we have to do in order to find what we want. But just like everything else we try to achieve, it gets tiring when you don’t get the results you’re looking for. After awhile, you get fed up. And it’s frustrating as hell. Not only are you allowing people in your life, you’re making it easier for them to hurt you.

I will like to take the time out by wishing all the mothers out there a Happy Mother’s Day and for everyone to appreciate women also. Everyday we should somehow celebrate being a mother, or even just being a strong woman, so make sure you pamper yourself to the utmost today. Men, grab a special woman and do the same for her. Recognize & acknowledge. Some of you really need to appreciate women, our struggle and what we give in this world. We give life, comfort, love, understanding, blessings, backbones, spirituality, joy, happiness, creativity and another reason to be happy for waking up in the morning. When life has no meaning, when you start to feel incomplete, when you’re frustrated or confused, when you’re horny, a good woman’s love will put you right back on your feet! It’s sad that still, most women are being parents alone without the help of the same man that contributed into creating that new life. It’s okay ladies. We are appreciated and honored by many. Our strength and commitment to being independent mothers will be rewarded to us later on in life.
