MESSAGE: Pick
It's enviable for people to be drawn to you when things are going great, but what about when things aren't so great? Where do they go? People pick and choose when they want to speak to you. I recently received a text from a "friend" she was drinking, and not to mention I hardly hear from her, since that text she hasn't had the desire to text me or call me. BUT then I found myself falling into old habits of starting and trying to continue a conversation. I'm used to people pulling me out of their back pocket when they have a hint of loneliness and after I satisfy that need of communication there's no need or want on their part to continue conversation.
I've talked to many women and listen to their pain, also men who are just frustrated and need to vent. It hurts my heart to see and hear the amount of people who get walked on, people who are good of heart and mind are the ones who get hurt, men and women. So I write this today because of the heavy amount of messages I'm receiving I want you to look at the pattern and look at the common denominator. If it's you, than look in the mirror, and decided right then that it's time to love yourself and be there for you more than you are for others. Lets face it, people can't hurt you if you don't give them that power.
For people like me trying to take care of yourself first doesn't come naturally. For some reason it's a struggle and it seems like a hard task to conquer. What I can tell you is that when you defeat that battle, things will get a lot easier. You'll attract friends and the opposite sex who look at you with respect and purpose. Things will shift when you decide that you want them to, and you're willing to change it.
I love receiving messages, emails etc and my answers are all based on personal experiences mixed with research from amazing elders and mentors that I have in my life. Then I carefully calculate my response and give you an honest to God heartfelt answer. Know that you are amazing and your worth having as a friend, receiving a GREAT friend and experiencing love in all ways.

3 Reasons Why You Need Big Seans Dark Paradise Album
1. He takes you on a lyrical journey from personal experiences mixed with killer beats makes it real and raw
2. The collabs are amazing! Kanye sounds like his old self, Lil Wayne, Drake, Chris Brown, Jhene Aiko and more BROUGHT their A GAME!
3. Big Sean is slept on in this game (No idea why) like Weezy said he doesn't get the proper love. this album shows us where he stands.
Fave Songs: I Don't Fuck With You, Play No Games feat Chris Brown, I Know feat Jhene Aiko and One Man Can Change the World

POEM: Sugar
Your words are like sugar to me
I'm diabetic in our love so it's slowly killing me
You're like that cup cake on cheat day so appetizing and sweet
Even though it hurts this love feels good to me
They say we want what we can't have
Well I thirst, I seek, I gasp, I grab
For your attention for the day that we click
For that time that we talk
I know it's time well spent
But yet I'm lead on like a deer to the lights
So innocent and yet I'm wounded
Like a gazelle in a lions den
I let my pen
Speak
Seek
Leak
On my paper
The words of my heart are like miles apart from what I'm trying to say
So confusing
Left in disarray
Like the alphabet spoken backwards
But it's forward I want to go with you
Automatic but we're in manual
Shifting at every downfall
Just so you know I'm down if you fall

Untouched Cindy Crawford
In a world full of superficial beauty, it's refreshing to see some untouched photos. One took the internet by storm over the weekend which included the fabulous Cindy Crawford. It was far from perfect, some praised the picture while others were rude and nasty with the comments. Check it out below and tell me what you think? I praise the pic and still think she looks amazing.
Cindy Crawford's April spread in Marie Claire features 100% non-retouched photos. Take a bow Ms. C. pic.twitter.com/ttQz2BcRfg

MESSAGE: My Own Responsibility
"Man I need to get on this"...."yeah I'm gonna do somethin about it soon". " i was thinking about starting this but i don't know-" Reason swhy I don't read a lot of messages on Facebook is because 1. thirsty gross men or 2. they're usually full of stuff from people who want to pry into my life and see "what's new" and then complain about theirs. For one I'm not going to share more with you verses anyone else because you're talking to me on social media, you don't even have my number that should say something on its own. All I can say is STOP saying what you're going to do, and actually do it. Stop waiting, stop complaining, stop talking about it and put some action behind it. Don't ask me what's new, get salty because I'm moving forward and you're left behind, what you do is not my responsibility.I'm only responsible for myself. You can either join the movement and make everything you wish come true or you can be like many and sit back on your coulda shoulds wouldas. STOP asking me to put you on, that's not how life works, it's not how it worked for me and I sure as hell wont let a lazy person piggyback off of my blood, sweat and tears. Life isn't easy we all know that BUT life is WHAT YOU make it.
What I will do is give advice and encourage you. What I wont do is put in a good word for a person with a horrible worth ethic and attitude. What I wont do is agree with you when you're obviously wrong. What I won't do is the work for you, I won't Google something and do research on a project that interests you. If you can have the time to ask me what to do, you can Google it and read what to do from professional sources. What I noticed with certain people is that they don't want to read. The desire to figure something out and work towards it is dead and gone. So tell me then how is that a dream? How is that something that you want when you don't know the basic steps?They want it NOW , they want it EASY sorry babe, it doesn't work like that There's a different satisfaction you'll get, many lessons to be leaned while you find your own journey, don't look at mine and try to mimic you will fail, GOD created my path for my feet only not yours, seek him and find your own.
It's also hard for me to listen to people complain about being tired. Everyone is tired but may people push to make things work. Parents are a Huge example they put in work, no excuses and make shit happen for their children every day. If you don't have kids, put in work for your projects treat them like they are your children! I know plenty of men and women who struggle but wont stop and I admire them because they never say "i'm tired" they say "it has to get done". Then when people say it's impossible, I don't have enough time in the day, I tell them what I do in one day and their brains are on overload they don't understand how I do that and I'm still smiling. Then I tell them I know people who do what I do but with a child, and they don't complain, so how dare I? Whenever I get frustrated or want to give up, I remember the then I pray for strength and I"m renewed to go!
Feel free to be upset because I'm not willing to add another project to my plate aka helping you when you don't want to help yourself. I don't cater to lazy, rude, oblivious and ratchet people. I'm responsible for ME and what I'm doing; I'm not responsible for your life that's up to you.
So STOP... and put some action behind your words.
