Our walking Days and Nights make our feet sore

I was just thinking about the people I've invited into my life. Those old, new, past, present and a few that like a bad cold every winter, attempt to re-infect my life. Like the pure breed sucker I am, I give them another shot. And then another, AND THEN ANOTHER (will I ever learn...probably not). Don't get me wrong, I continue to be forgiving because Lawd knows I ain't right and I'm not bitter about that in the slightest. To me, it is one of my favorite attributes about myself. In a way, my hope was that this forgiving spirit of mine would shine and therefore reveal how important my presence is in the persons life. In my head I'm thinking "Now we will forever be cool and respectful because we have gone beyond our petty fights forever and ever!". -______- Clearly I'm living on a dream cloud and my 'dream cloud visa' finna expire. The reason why I'm so focused on positive interactions among everyone I encounter is simply because there are SO MANY DEGENERATES among our walking days and nights. Think about the person who cut you off this morning, or the idiot who coughed with his mouth open (Really though?..) or the grocery clerk who said "What chu want?" instead of graciously acting like jobs aren't easy to come by. Chile.... I could go on! Last thing we need in our lives are our homies and homettes being inconsiderate. I'm sayin! I come off a bad day, call up SANDRA AND D'EM to to enjoy happy hour specials and these heffas show up either 1) Later than the cable guy or 2) With all intentions of not listening to me piss and moan. *Cries all the way home* At moments like this I can't help but remember the looonnggg, and late nights on the phone listening to every detail of my friends horrible day/date/job/night/parents and then some. Did I always wanna sit on the phone? No, sometimes SLEEP was preferred! But I made the willing sacrifice for my sista from another mother because I knew she would do the same. Welp..there goes that assumption. I probably sound petty as hell but DAMN THAT. Life is tough, beautiful in our own way but still a bumpy road for most of us. The people that we can honestly call our friends obviously bind with you on more levels then one. Maybe its similar culture, or familiar pains from the past, insecurities, fellowship with ratchet behavior, I dunno I'm not judging! These are stories that only we and our 'ride or die' friends can recount and bust an ugly laugh at inappropriate moments. But if you gonna be there during my high times, would it really bother you to be there at my lowest? These are questions that need to be asked (and answered!) in all relationships. I do not believe in acquaintances, you know, the "I don't know her like that but we sometimes chill"- yeah that. Why? It's lazy and gives us the option to dismiss individuals. Just saying that upsets my chi, why do we need "options to dismiss" ? If this post was about dating I wouldn't mention that but I'm writting on treating our favorite people compassionately. Even if they aren't your favorite, would it kill you be CORDIAL? Some of y'all greasy like potato chips and probably don't understand what the problem is with that (<_<) *side eye of condemnation* I guess the purpose of this was to help everyone, including myself, to be aware of the slight gestures that would make tiny rifts in your friendships. Also, be indiscriminately kind. It's a cold world *burr*

First shot

For someone who hates blogs, I am pretty excited to start my own. I have very little purpose for this blog but to assist the living with just that...living! I'm no guru, me I'm no actor, I'm just me! But I'm also a woman of particular experiences that have helped me grow to know a thing or two about a thing or two. My ears are always open to new thoughts and discussions, however, so please feel free to *respectfully* challenge my thoughts. Wish me luck on this new found journey as I bid you adieu for now ;)
