Life always throws us curve balls and gives us lemons. Society tells us to knock them out of the park and to make lemonade but we all know that it's easier said than done.
Over these last few months that I've been not writing I've had my fair share of curve balls, home runs, stikeouts, lemons, lemonade, and rotten lemons but the point is that I'm STILL here. I had to learn to stop putting so much emphasis on making the best out of everything and appreciate each experience and disaster for the beauty each of them had.
I'm proud to say that I have grown up a lot and even though I am not at that mythic place called "there." I have not only found peace with my journey but joy that I am blessed to be on still.
For my loyal followers thank you for sticking with me... To the ones who have fallen off I hope you'll find reason to come back... And to my new followers thank you for deciding to journey with me.

REFLECTIONZ:
THE PAST COUPLE DAYS I'VE BEEN SITTING BACK TRYING TO PLACE PEOPLE AND THINGS INTO CATEGORIES...
SERIOUS
TOYS
BUISNESS
FRIEND
FAKE
NESSCARY
INDULGENCES
AND WHAT'S SCARY IS THAT CERTAIN PEOPL ARE BEING PLACED INTO CATEGORIES THEY SHOULDN'T HAVE BEEN IN BUT ARE BECAUSE IM SEEING REALITY.
I ALREADY SEE THE HEARTBREAK THATS COMMING AROUND THE CORNER. I CAN TELL THAT THIS ISN'T WHAT YOU REALLY WANT AND YOU TAKE ME ABOUT AS SERIOUSLY AS A PERSON DOES THE TICKLE OF A FLY.
HERE I AM AGAIN.... LOOKING OUT FROM THE MOUTAIN I SEE THE HURT IVE BEEN THROUGH AND THE BULLSHIT I CLIMBED UP AND THE CLIMB DOWN TO HAPPINESS JUST SEEMS SOO LONG....

DEATH OF A BLACK WOMAN
SOMEONE FROM WORK SENT THIS TOO ME AND OMG OMG OMG IS IT HITTING WITH ME RIGHT NOW!!!!
The strong black woman passed away. Medical sources say she died of natural causes, but those who knew her know that she died from being silent when she should have been screaming, smiling when she should have been raging, from being sick and not wanting anyone to know because her pain might inconvenience them.
She died from an overdose of other people clinging to her when she didn't even have energy for herself. She died from loving men who didn't love themselves and could only offer her a 'crippled' reflection. She died from raising children alone.
She died from the lies her grandmother told her mother and her mother told her about life, men and racism.
She died from asphyxiation, coughing up blood from secrets she kept trying to burn away instead of allowing herself the kind of nervous breakdown she was entitled to, but only white girls could afford.
She died from being responsible, because she was the last rung on the ladder and there was no one under her she could dump on. The strong black woman is dead. She died from being a mother at 15 and a grandmother at 30 and an ancestor at 45.
She died from being dragged down and sat upon by uninvolved women posing as sisters and friends. She died from tolerating 'Mr. Pitiful', just to have a man around the house. She died from sacrificing herself for everybody and everything when what she really wanted to do was be a singer, a dancer, or some magnificent other. She died from lies of omission because she didn't want to bring the black man down.
She died from tributes from her counterparts who should have been matching her efforts instead of showering her with dead words and empty Promises. She died from myths that would not allow her to show weakness without being chastised by the lazy and hazy.
She died from hiding her real feelings until they became hard and bitter enough to invade her womb and breasts like angry tumors. She died from always lifting something from heavy boxes to refrigerators all by herself.
The strong black woman is dead. She died from never being enough of what men wanted, or being too much for the men she wanted.

LIFE IS A CLUSTERFUCK OF CHOICES... SOME ARE OBVIOUS OTHERS NOT SO OBVIOUS... SOME ARE EASY OTHERS ARE FUCKIN HARD AS SHIT.
NOT EVER CHOICE IS GOING TO BE POPULAR WITH EVERYONE OR ANYONE FOR THAT MATTER....
SOME CHOICES YOU MAKE ARE GOING TO BE WRONG, OTHERS RIGHT, AND SOME ARE JUST A CHOICE WITH BOTH GOOD AND BAD IN THEM.
AT THE END OF THE DAY ALL THAT MATTERS ABOUT YOUR CHOICES IS THAT YOU MADE THE BEST ONE AT THE TIME AND THAT IF YOU ARE WRONG YOU ADMIT IT...
BUT MOST OF ALL BE HAPPY AND AT PEACE WITH THE CHOICES THAT YOU MAKE

DISCIPLINE
SO dj birdy bird HAS BEEN POSTING THESE ON TWITTER AND I THOUGHT THAT THEY ARE RIGHT ON TARGET WITH WHERE I NEED TO BE IN LIFE AND DECIDED TO POST THEM FOR ALL MY READERS!!
"With self-discipline most anything is possible."
"Discipline is the refining fire by which talent becomes ability."
"Discipline is the bridge between goals and accomplishment."
"Success isn't measured by money or power or social rank. Success is measured by your discipline and inner peace."
"It was character that got us out of bed, commitment that moved us into action, and discipline that enabled us to follow through."

INTERNAL CONFLICT IS BEST RESOLVED THRU EXTERNAL PEACE.
WE CANNOT HOPE TO GET ANY PERSONAL CLARITY WHEN EVERYTHING AROUND US IS IN A STATE OF CHAOS.... IT REQUIRES US TO REMOVE OURSELVES FROM WHATS GOING ON DESPITE HOW MUCH WE WANT TO STAY....
MY CHALLENGE LATELY HAS BEEN QUIETING THE THOUGHTS IN MY HEAD SO I CAN ACTUALLY PROGRESS... ITS BEEN A WEIRD CHALLENGE UNTIL I REALIZED.... IM NO GOOD TO MYSELF IF I HAVE A BUNCH OF CRAP GOING ON AROUND ME.

SOMETIMES CLEANING IS THE ONLY THING THAT YOU CAN DO TO MAKE SENSE OF LIFE...
WHETHER IT BE CLEANING OUT YOUR PHONE BOOK, EMAIL, CLOSET, ROOM OR DESK..
GETTING RID OF THE CLUTTER HELPS YOU SEE LIFE CLEARER AND MAKE DESCIONS EASIER

Life
So it's been a few weeks since everything blew up in my face and I lost pretty much all of my good friends.... And I have to admit that I'm doing fairly well considering everything.
And that scares me

IN THE WAKE OF TURMOIL YOU DEFINE NOT JUST WHO YOU ARE BUT WHO YOU ARE GOING TO BE....
STAY TRUE TO YOUR MORALS AND VALUES.... NO MATTER WHAT IT MAY LOOK LIKE, NO MATTER WHAT MAY HAPPEN.
JUST KNOW THAT EVERY WRONG WILL BE VINDICATED AND THERE ALWAYS IS A REASON FOR EVERYTHING
