Dont Put Yo Mouth On Me

#DontPutYourMouthOnMe

Stop putting your mouth on people.. You don't know where they've been or what they've been through.

Before you put your lips on somebody, find out where they've been, and what kind of life they live. You might find out that you really don't know them at all, or know their story, which your mouth has puckered up to speak on.

Keep people, and their names, out of your mouth, and you just might realize that it's better to lick the salt off of your own wounds first. #dontputyourmouthonme #youdontknowmelikethat

Moral of the story: stop speaking or talking bad about and wishing bad on people. Stop the negative gossip about people you really don't know anything about and speak life and positivity into their lives if you must speak on them or better yet speak life and positivity into your own life...#betteruseoftime #PutSomeRespeKOnMyName

Mental Magic

What I've learned:

The mind is such a beautiful, important, and magical thing. Sometimes, the key to seeing the light in the midst of darkness, is simply closing your eyes momentarily, giving in to the darkness, and then imagining the light you wish to see. You'll find that a mental escape is sometimes even better than a real one. Healthy Minds promotes Healthy Thoughts. #ThinkAboutIt #MentalHealthMatters

Reject Me Not

What I've learned:

Rejection is not always about you. Rejection is God's direction. And it keeps you from that which is not meant for you in the long run. Rejection will have you feeling like something less than you are, until you realize that rejection is the result of someone else's vision, not about you, your value, or your inability to perform. The issue is not with you, but with their personal vision. Just because people can't see value doesn't mean it's not there. People can't rightfully assign value to you.

A lot of depression is due to self-loathing or feeling down on yourself due to rejection. But what I've learned is that your life never loses its value no matter what you go through, what storms you may face, and definitely not because of human rejection. Always remember...No matter what a $100 bill goes through, whether being ripped, torn, folded, balled up, dropped in the mud, or used/misused by many hands, at the end of the day its still worth $100. Think about it. Your Value And Self Worth Never Decreases even if YOU or someone else think it does.

So please understand, rejection is a result of people's issues not yours. It may just be their preference. Most times, people make unfounded assessments and assumptions about others before making fair assessments about themselves. It's their personal preference, lack of knowledge or inability to see your value, your worth, and what you really have to offer, during their assessment, that causes the rejection. You Are Worthy and Valued regardless.😘 #AndThereItIs #CheersMyFriends

The Art of Problem Solving

Many people have the same problems, troubles, and issues. The difference comes with how each person choose to deal with, handle, or solve the problems. There are no cookie-cutter ways to dealing with life and perhaps no easy way out at times. But that's when you stop and put all the cards on the table and find solutions and use your creative mind to make it through. Take time to be frustrated or a minute to worry if you must. But after that minute, suck it up and put your big boy boots and big girl panties on and find a way to GitRdone... Spend more time on finding solutions than on worrying about the problem and things will work out before you know.  Have a Happy Sunday My Friends!

The Proposal

Warning!!!!!!!! If you plan on asking me to marry you, please don't do it in front of family and friends, as I will need a 90 day probationary period to think about it before I answer. During that 90 day probationary period, you will be required to exchange cell phones and passwords among us from the moment you ask. After those things have been vetted appropriately between the two, I'll give you my acceptance or denial. If I say yes, then you can plan the surprise moment to publicly ask, on 1 knee, with a ring in front of an audience.

Many people say yes for the crowd and the moment, but hasn't come to their own decision or reconciled all their feelings before being popped the question in front of an audience of people and onlookers. As a result, people end up getting married to the wrong person for the sake of not ruining the surprise moment, or embarrassing the one who proposed. But I'd rather embarrass someone with an "I'll think about it" or "I'm not ready yet", than to leave them to rectify a broken heart after a loveless, pressured marriage, that ends in a bitter and emotional divorce.

Many people say yes, in hopes that they will grow to love the other person or fall in love as time passes. Others say yes because it's their Baby Momma or Baby Daddy. And, others say yes as a business deal and once the money leaves so do they. So, instead of saying yes for the wrong reasons and at a time when you know you aren't ready, how about having the discussion and the shared feelings, emotions, goals, beliefs, and desires that should accompany the proposal and potential lifetime commitment. I feel that taking this step will minimize marriage commitments made under false pretenses, and ultimately lower the divorce rates, and the number of children being dragged into custody battles and dysfunctional family environments.

You see, what I've learned, is that marriage is a serious commitment that requires personal sacrifice, but not something I have to have to make me complete. To know my worth is to know that marriage is not for everyone, and that I will always be worthy with or without a marriage proposal.

Furthermore, to know my worth, is to know and also verify whether that person is really Worthy Of Me, By any means I deem necessary. So, if a 90 day probationary period is what I feel I REQUIRE to help my decision process and the person proposing can't do that, then it's a NO for me bruh. Trust, love, loyalty, and a lifetime commitment is earned, not just given. So, I'm not just giving a "Yes" to a marriage proposal unless it's mutually earned and agreed upon. If I ever get married, I'm only doing it once, whether it lasts or end in divorce. #1HittaQuitta

With that being said....Don't surprise me with a marriage proposal without knowing and agreeing beforehand that WE are BOTH ready for commitment, or you may be the one SURPRISED😳#proceedwithcaution

To catch the eye of a killer

In My Feelings:

To catch the eye of a killer..

I've always known that Monsters do exist. There are many people that I knew back then as a child, and even know as an adult, that have a hard time believing in monsters. But I do, and I know that they eat, breathe, and sleep just as I do, day in and day out. Some work, some don't, some are males and some are females. Some have kids, some don't. But at the end of the day, the fact remains that they are here and exists among us daily.

It has been my mission to come face to face, or catch the eye of a particular Monster/Killer and I did just that today. But at no point and time did this Monster scare me, he basically just disgusted me as I knew he would. To watch this evil boogie man sit a few feet in front of me and act so smug and unmoved or bothered by his evil acts and deeds, that has caused so much pain, was not only disheartening, but unbelievable. This monster did not look the part, thus lending to the fact that looks can be very deceiving. Though I tried to keep a steady gaze at all participating parties in the courtroom, I found that my gaze would wonder right back to the monster, and if looks could kill he was already casket sharp.

A part of me wanted to see nervousness, anxiety, or any semblance of guilt, sadness, shame, or even a wishful tear to show that he was human or has some type of emotions, but "notta". He just sat there like "can we get this over with already". A part of me wanted to ask him if he really understood what he has done, and the hurt he has caused so many, but of course, I couldn't. A part of me wanted to tell him only a third of the family's emotions that I witnessed first hand. A part of me wanted to shake him and say "don't you get it, don't you even care" and yet another part of me wanted to say "WHAT THE F' WERE YOU THINKING". The psychologist in me wanted to know what made him do such a thing, what was his childhood like, and how could he mentally go through with trying to cover up such a heinous crime...So as one can imagine, there were several parts of me at work today.

But the drive home after court, after seeing crime scene photos again, and actually matching the ungodly work to a real face, provided me a moment to reflect. It put what I've always known to be true, into perspective. Monsters do exist, they are real, and they lurk among us without a care in this world other than selfish gratification. I am a firm believer that there is a special place for Monsters, and walking among us is not it, but who am I to judge... The Lord didn't give me a Heaven or Hell to put people in or the right to judge, nor did He give me the kind of heart that disregards human life that he created and gave freedom of choice to. But if HE would have and if I could put aside my conscience.. boy look-a-here... There would be one less Monster walking among us and one more Monster keeping the flames of Hell burning Crispy HOT right about now, along with a whole lot more of them that's wasting tax payers money. I always straddle the fence on whether I believe in the death penalty but that's because I believe that there are many innocent people that have unjustly lost their lives to the death penalty and that there are some people on death row that are actually innocent, but the question comes with what if the person unmistakably did the crime.......

When I caught the eye of this killer and looked down at his hands, I couldn't think about anything but how those hands took someone's life and caused so much pain and those eyes seemed blind, uncaring, and oblivious to it all.....
