Standing in your own way...

Sometimes we issue the blame for our problems on others, and while they might have caused the pain or negative emotions, we are responsible for staying that way. When someone hurts you they go on about their lives as if it never happened. We carry with us the emotional scars. Sometimes we just have to know when to let go. Let go of the “ain’t shit” people in our lives, and the situations that are not beneficial to a happy life.
I’m not taking away from any one’s situations, or hurt, because I’ve been there too. I’ve spent a lot of time hurting or being upset about situations I can’t control, and it hasn’t done me any good. If you can’t control what happens in a situation, you can’t blame yourself for it. Sitting around down about that situation won’t make things in your life change. If you want your life to change, you have to do it yourself. Friends, Family, Boyfriends/girlfriends, jobs are all things that can help you be happy, but being happy starts with you. Life happens to us, so it’s how we react and adapt to life situations that makes us have better life experiences.
Just some thoughts/opinions running through my mind…

Friendship Dynamics?

I think a true friendship adjusts to changes in life, situations, and people maturing. When you first meet someone, you probably interact over something you have in common, a laugh, or something simple. So the basis of the friendship is entertainment/ having a good time. As time passes, and you go through rough times (everyone does), your friendship now includes comfort, compassion, empathy etc etc. When you over come those hard times with a person or people, it only makes the relationship stronger. Not only are you able to laugh and just enjoy each other’s company, you were able to make it through rough times and still come up on top, laughing and smiling. And that’s what I think true friendship is, someone that’s with you at your best, but someone who also stuck by you through the worst. People you could be yourself around, you could laugh with but still have those serious real life conversations. And I’m not taking away from all the other friendships we have. Sometimes its good to know with person X, I’m guaranteed a good laugh, or with person Y, I’m going to have a good night out. Those are cool to me too, sometimes I just want to have a good time and be free. To me a true friendship withstands the test of time. If we can go through periods of time without talking/seeing each other and still pick up where we left off, that’s great. If we can go down different paths in life, (school, work, relationships, etc) and still be friends that’s real. How many of your friendships are true friendships?

Are you a P.O.W ? Prisoner of Words (unsaid)

I'm a big fan of Alicia Keys & poetry, why not both together? I love this. Enjoy!

Is it just me or do people that appear to have it all never seem satisfied?

 

After 10 years (yes 10!) of marriage, Kobe Bryant's wife Vanessa filed for divorce. She allegedly has had enough of his infidelity. Cheating is wrong on any level but for a celebrity I feel like it's that much more stupid. Think about it, you're well known, people talk, it's bound to get out. The first time Kobe infidelity was made public, Vanessa stuck with him(that ring she got was a pretty good incentive...I'm just saying). The biggest mistake a lot of celebrities or  people with a lot of money make? Not signing a Pre-nuptial agreement. Kobe' of course was no different & now his soon to be ex wife is entitled to millions. "'Cause when she leave yo' ass she gon' leave with half." Kanye said it best. In California a 10 year marriage is considered long term & so Vanessa will be getting paid for the rest of her life or until she gets remarried. Moral of the story: It's cheaper to keep her...oh yeah cheating is never the answer.

While we're on the topic of STUPIDITY...

Football player Sam Hurd, gets caught selling drugs. Really? Why in the world, as a football player that makes millions of dollars, would you need to sell drugs? I just can't comprehend why you would give up making millions of dollars LEGALLY to make it illegally...only resulting to you spending massive time behind bars. Shaking my head, people have to be smarter than this. Moral of the story: Some people are just never satisfied.

Kobe Bryant v.s. Sam Hurd, who has the biggest fail?
