I luv to look nice im not gonna lie but there is a thick line between looking nice, and being over the top. We as black people have life all mixed up.. We are more concerned on the material things and the substances that comes along with the urban lifestyle. Black people are the only nationality that will debt themselves to look good. Slavery of blacks ended 149 years ago but that was just freedom of the physical bondage. WE ARE STILL SLAVES OF THE MIND! Designers put out new shit every month and we eat it up like a gourmet dish. We spend money on clothes and shoes when we could be investing and letting it build. We gotta have the best of everything we're broke because we're making others rich! Its down to the point in which if you have a flip phone ur looked down upon. Because we would rather spend $350 on a phone and they would take a free phone in a heartbeat.
I was watching "In the Heat of the Night" and in the episode a black man was killed by 4 white men. All he did was ride down the street in his new pinto (or whatever nice car it was at that time). The man stopped to help out a white and then a car pulled up behind him and 3 more white men jumped out and they killed him. For no reason at all because he was black! And what I got out of this episode is that we have come a long way as a nationality. Our ancestors died for us by sitting at "white only" lunch counters and marching down the street getting bit by dogs. They died so we can have an easier life. All we do is kill each other over petty things. We kill each other because that "nigga" aint from yo block or because he talked to yo girl. We should be loving one another.
In the civil rights movement blacks were still slaves "seperate but equal". Our ancestors over came that slavery and made it easier for us. So its up to us to see how we can over come this slavery we are in today.

Free
How do we allow people to have control over our hearts.. mind.. bodies.. Its like when they are here you are happy.. when they are gone your sad you crave them more than food.. you may love them more than you love yourself.. Or you may just be in love with the thought of being in love.. Whatever it maybe no one can change the way you feel about them.. Its like they have some kind of power over you.. Wat is this force you have over me? And how do I break free?

Porcelian Doll
Words of a wise woman "I had a porcelian doll I had onto it way too tightly and when it broke I swore I'd never hold onto something so tightly again." Finally finding what you have been wanting and praying for is a blessing in its self.. But when that blessing is taken away from you, it causes you to take a step back from the situation and evaluate. This thing happened so fast.. I dont wanna call it love because I dont really know what love is. But I know it has potential! One thing I do know is that I dont want to be bamboozled. I know many people will have things to say but there is only one captain of this ship.. I hope I am going in the right direction.. I can see it but it feels more like a fairy tale. But they do say fairytales have happy endings I hope this is true. Because when im with you I feel happy I feel loved and I feel like I cant wait to be with you again. I dont know if thats because of the situation of you leaving me..I have never been in a situation like this.. I never had someon show me the affection the way you have.. Or maybe I have and I just eat the shit up when you give it to me. Whatever it is I love it and I hope the fire doesnt burn out on either side..

Bifocals
I always sit and think.. maybe I think too much maybe thats the problem. But thinking has gotten me far n this life.. People ask why I dont talk much.. Im more of an observer.. I sit back and watch the world. At times it feels like it is passing me by but other times I feel like im way above the rest..At times I feel like I have friends and at times I feel alone. But what is a friend any way.. Someone you can go too and someone that knows all your secrets.. I like to say I have associates and one good friend. And she doesnt even know everything about me.. Over these years I realized its hard to say goodbye! But when its like I have been saying goodbye to you my friend for the past 2 years... So its not so hard. I dispise <--sp kissing peoples ass. Sometimes I do things that are misunderstood.. Sometimes I can be a bitch! But friends always look past that.. A friendship is a bond.. And you my friend have let that bond unravel. I was still holding on but wats the purpose when all I will be left with is strands and memories from our friendship bond. As much as I would like to forget about you its hard because you have been my friend for so long. But I guess thats the way life is.. Its already written. They say people are in your life for a season and I guess our season has passed... I just dont understand how you let people bring us apart I thought we were bff's...

Whats Understood Aint Got 2 B Explained...
People are so quick to judge and give opinions.. Its easier said than done for a lot of things... People are so quick to say I would never, why would she?, it would be better if you did this. People are always judging! People want you to do things when they want you to do things and I dont approve. People want instant success, instant gratification, instant outcomes but you have to be patient. There are so many People our here who are misunderstood and I wish they had a voice. At times I feel very misunderstood People look at me and think im one way when I am the exact opposite. People judge with complete ignorance. Sometimes the things I think of I wonder if everyone else thinks the same or am I just nuts??
Another thing I want to touch on is how People were so quick to jump on the Michael Jackson bandwagon of how he was a pediphile. Maybe he just loved kids.. Wats so wrong for a man who enjoyed children? I look at it this way he wanted to give some children the childhood he never got to experience. Just learning about this man and how much torture he went through as a child. I understand how he turned into a (freak show) no disrespect. But he took on a lot of abuse as a child and in his adulthood as well. People need to learn not to be so cruel.
The most important thing in this world is LOVE! If you disagree you have no direction what so ever. 1st Corinthians ch 13 the greatest feeling is Love. People need to learn to love one another. If a lot of these murderers, psychos, robbers, pediphiles, adulterers had someone to love them they would have been better people.
Little girls who are out here sleeping with different guys for attention. So People look at here like she's crazy and immediately start to judge. Why don't you try to see what her problem is instead of labeling her as a hoe?? Im sure there is a reason why she's out there... Rebelious children have a reason as to why they are rebelious. Think b4 you judge People.
