A person gets pulled over. Things seem fine until you hear an altercation and guns drawn. What is first instinct here in the Amerikkkas? Grab ya phone n hit record, right? Excuse me, no need to grab it because it is nowadays it is glued to hands EVERYWHERE.
Wake up and immediately jump up because you have already hit snooze over four times. Splash water on your face, get dressed, grab a Rockstar and a tv dinner to take for breakfast and lunch.
Children constantly jumping around or zombie out in front of the tv for majority of the day. Especially now since school is shut down. Parents yelling for them to sit down so they can hear if Myesha and Tauri been messing around on each other like the friend Sharon is saying on Maury.
The aforementioned is the ANSWER TO THE TITLED QUESTION. To cease and desist this ongoing behavior of blame on others. Where and when are you going to take accountability for the car you driven all your life? YOUR foot is on the pedal. Leading you to exactly where you are right now. If you are old enough to wipe your ass, you are old enough to know better. So if things have felt heavy for some time and confusing, I simply suggest sitting still for a moment. Go into solitude and take time off & UNPLUG.
There is a saying you may have heard once or few times depending on whose lips it's falling from. “If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.” Remember that ok. The other day I was watching Black Panther. Besides the tears overflowing from my eyes, there is a part where Princess Shuri asks for the EMP beads (super technology powered by the invaluable Vibranium) to install an update of some sorts. The Prince tells his sister no need, they work simply fine. She then says, “How many times do I have to tell you. Just because something works doesn’t mean that it cannot be improved.”
Whoop there it is. Just because it is working well does not mean you cannot strive to make it ravishing! I personally cannot stay stagnant to damn long. Even when I do slip up and get into a mood, I do not stay for it too long. That is when outstanding problems arrive and throw off the whole re-program. I am quite sure there is no need for me to delve into what that can bring.
For one, WE ARE ALL INDIVIDUALS. Sure, your children are little ‘yous’, but they are also new or old souls (whichever you believe) that you need to take the time to get to know. We expect them to just know we are parent and what we say goes, but who says we cannot try to compromise here and there. That saved me from many a a** whoopins.
Some may read that last sentence and say, ‘humph not me, I’m going to keep on keeping on and….’ This is not a 'how to live blog'. This is a 'look at things from a different point of view' blog. Question everything that was force fed to you and ask yourself, is this really working for me or have I been forced to feel like it will? Just hang on to the hurt a little more, you will get used to it in a second. Does that sound fun or a type of life to live?
