POWER


Never change who you are for someone else.
Because once you change, you lose some of the real you.
The real reason why that person liked you in the first place.
They just didn't know until you changed it but now its too late.
They don't want you anymore.

So now they playing the role.
Got you way on the back burner so that you can voluntarily erase yourself from the equation.
Then they hit you with the "I thought we were cool," "I thought we were together" bid to make you feel bad for breaking up with them. So you retract the statment and try to work it out, thinking you over-reacted but you're confused because they still playing you to the left but yelling that "couple shit."

You start acting a fool demading attention then they pop up and break up with yo' dumb ass. Now "you looking like a fool witcha pants on the ground" cause you had the power... now you don't.

Okay, since you made it clear...

Uhm, I forgot what I was going to say. LOL! Nah, seriously, I think it's a natural instinct for people to feel as if they will not be accepted by others. So they tend to 'adapt to that person' all the while lose sight of who they truly are.

Yeah, I have done this back in the days. Now that I am older. I give it to 'em the way it is.

I am me.

24/7.

Hopefully, after learning the hard way, as I once did, numerous times, others will remind themselves to be true to thy self, as I learned.

Being an old souled Mother to this new generation of kids

My preteen daughter called me bruh the other day. Lets let that sit there for a minute.  Okay so scene: She was fussing via text at me about having phone screen time on the weekend. That its not fair because she is the only one with it, when all she wants to do is play group chat games with her little raggedy tail friends. For those of you who don't know: screen time is a feature embedded into your updated iPhone and apple devices, used to monitor the way you use your device. You can use screen time to get information about what you and your family members spend time on your devices, which apps and websites you use, how often you pick up your device, in a given day or even hour. You can also schedule time away from your screen, set time limits for certain app usage and block calls from certain people during certain times. So now that you know what her issue is, now hear my issue: I wouldn't care if she was talking to a family member at 11:58pm... once that Midnight screen time

Tunnel Vision

Last week a fellow journalist died in a car accident. A lot of people at my job knew him as a kid from SIUC who died in that terrible accident the other day but I actually knew that kid, Ryan Rendleman. I went to school with him, I worked with him at the school newspaper and most times I talked about him on the phone with my girlfriend because that Rendleman was truly a trip.  His passing made me realize how quickly our lives can be taken away from us and how I really haven't done much to contribute to society, or to my obituary if I were to die today.  When I hear about someone my age or younger being pregnant, getting married or doing something that I would consider a grown up act, I gawk at how advanced they are, in a negative way, when I should really be getting just like them because life is so short!  I am in my early 20's, just graduated from college, have never lived out of Illinois, have never smoked, don't have any tattoos, interesting piercings or children.  This

One nice hot summer day, as you're minding your own business, sitting on the couch twiddling your braids between your fingers, listening to a little r&b, your favorite cousin calls to tell you that she is getting married next year and she would love for you to be her Maid of Honor.  You hop up, yelling Congratulations, OMGee of course I will favorite cousin, I would do anything for you! Thank you so much for choosing me! Where do we start!?  She calmly says, "I'm so glad to hear you say that favorite cousin, because in order to fit the dress I have in mind, you'll have to lose 40 pounds."  The music seems to abruptly stop. Your smile slowly turns to a frown. You plop yo fat ass back down and what, might I ask, comes out of your mouth next?  Lets consider the situation: this particular family member, this cousin whom you revere as a sister, whom you fully frontal bear hug and rock side to side with upon arrival and Color Purple slow hand clap when the two of yo
