I've never believed those who suggested to pray for what and who hurt you. I always thought about having to have revenge on my own. But what does that do? What does it solve? See what you do is you pray. Not only for yourself, but for the strength of what hurt you. It releases... Continue Reading →

Despite anything between you and your Mother,... Continue Reading →
We weren't given instincts for nothing. They mean something, and I don't know how, but they're always right, if not close too. I feel like once you really care for something/someone, your body is forced to move in agreeance, especially physically and mentally. For instance, ever notice when you're doing something you're not supposed to... Continue Reading →
Any way you look at it, Music is an expression of emotion whether it be written down and then recited, or recited straight off your head. That good ol' Marijuana is just something to add to the vibe.

What is love? There is no set definition in my opinion. How do you define what someone else feels/should feel towards something/someone? What I can tell you is it's supposed to be an amazing feeling, almost as if you can't feel, and your body feels stress free is basically what I'm implying. Your body plays... Continue Reading →

So today, I called a cab home, and when the cab driver picked me up, he immediately demanded his money.

Not every type of loving is the best loving. I don't see how people can move Body to Body like that. Your body is your temple. It's not always about being in love, as humans we have natural needs. In my opinion, especially for safety precautions, you should only be in sexual contact with the... Continue Reading →

Have you heard of somebody dying over Marijuana? Me neither.

Certain jobs you can't work because of that, certain facilities have an issue with that, but check this out. Has cigarettes saved a... Continue Reading →
Age is really nothing but a number which we use to classify what one should and should not know. Everybody wasn't raised with the same mentality, not everyone thinks the same way you do. When conversing with people, I ALWAYS get "You don't seem like you're 21." That's because I pay attention to my surroundings,... Continue Reading →

You ever think about how many people are in the world right now? Me either. Not until riding with Michael, who is a taxi driver, he made me stop and look at each car we drove past. For the most part, it was different cars, with only one person. Now N' Day a family of... Continue Reading →
Too often we overwork ourselves, over stress, and overthink. However, what we don’t realize is what that can do to our health.

Too often we don’t think about those who made it possible for us to walk this earth. Those who fought and gave their lives for ours.

I can not fully speak upon the Bill Cosby situation, yet I have looked into the allegations.

At first, I was kinda skeptical about cutting my hair because I didn't know what cut I wanted and how I'd look.

Being a single parent isn't always easy. Granted, it definitely shows you how to be an adult, and more independent, but it isn't fair towards the parent nor child. I don't think any single parent is recognized for the good that they do, and it's not just Mothers. Not saying it's a good thing, but... Continue Reading →

There is a huge difference between listening to someone, and understanding them. Daily communication with one another requires understanding to an extent. For example, we each speak different languages, you could be speaking to someone in one language, while they understand another. There are many ways to interpret hearing vs understanding. Typically the main issues... Continue Reading →
Not everything is meant to stand so tall, but depending on how you take care of what that "everything" is, it will grow, it will prosper. For instance, as I stated in a poem before, the more you water a plant, the more it grows. When you don't take care of it, it dies. Watching... Continue Reading →

"Thick and Lit", "Large and in charge", "Petite and Sweet", "Skinny and still plenty". No matter how you look at your weight, you're still amazing.
