Breaking Through

Have you ever felt like you would just die if a certain situation didn't go the way you planned? All of your emotions just wrapped up in that one thing. Then it comes to be that it doesn't go the way you planned. For a few moments, being in days, hours, minutes, you don't know what to do with yourself. You become depressed, regretful, angry with yourself, and introverted. You have all these thoughts on why it didn't go your way... What did you say, What didn't you say, What could have you said or did to change the outcome...This happened to me, but you know what? I had a breakthrough. Everything that was said and done was supposed to happen, and I realized life goes on and things you want don't always happen when you want them to. You just have to pick yourself up and move on to your next en devour.

You may not be able to completely let go of the situation that had you at your lowest, but it will show you that you are a strong person. I can't keep dwelling on something I have no control over... As much as I want some control on the outcome, I know I did all I could have done and I can honestly say that I'm happy with that. I'm not sure what to expect in the future, but I do know I accept it with open arms. What will be, will be. I'm excited for it. I know I will be better than I am right now physically, mentally, emotionally, Hopefully Financially(LOL). This man is becoming so much more, ya'll. This man is breaking through.

:-) Peace, Love, and Soul Food.

In a Place...

What do you do when you feel like you are in a place where a clear decision can not be made or a place where you have no idea what your next move can be made? Well that's the place I'm at right now. There are so many options that are being presented to me, but I have no idea which path I will take. I feel like so many things are tugging at my heart, my mind, and my body all at the same time and its putting me in a place that I don't want to be. I once heard that when you have to go to someone for advice you've already made your decision, you just are looking for validation of your choice... I haven't gone to anyone for advice, because my decisions haven't been made... I want to take a chance and move out of state to start a new life, but I feel obligated to stay here in Minnesota to help my family. I want to move to Chicago, but I keep questioning if it will be the best decision for me... I don't want to leave and end up coming back... There is one reason I would like to move there, that most would say is crazy, but that is NOT the ONLY reason of me wanting to move. I just feel like Minnesota is inconsistent with the things I want to do and have, but I'm so used to the environment here. I'm so "comfortable" with everything here. A part of me does not want to leave because of the person in me that wants to take care and fix everything here in Minnesota... I know I can't fix everything and I'm no superman. I can't save everybody, hell I barely can save myself from certain things. I'm 23 years old and I guess this is just a point in my life where I want so much for myself that I don't know where to start. But I guess this is also a point where I need to start making decisions and sticking with them... Learning from them... Applying the lessons from each mistake and triumph and applying them to the next phase of my life accordingly. I know this post is a bit everywhere, but in the place my mind, body, and heart is at I can't help but to be everywhere. I'll figure it out soon though. :-) Peace, Love, And Soul Food ya'll.

No Day, But Today...

So this past weekend has been somewhat of a roller coaster ride, but I have learned to live my life for today because life is not promised tomorrow. I have always been the type to hold in my feelings out of fear of being hurt, misunderstood, and embarrassed Especially when it comes to being in love. But I got over tryin to hold in my feelings because it was doing nothing but making sick, irritated, confused, and tired. So after expressing How I felt to someone I care deeply for recently, I feel like a burden has been lifted from my shoulders. I'm still unsure of what is supposed to happen now that I've expressed my true feelings to the person, but I feel much better knowing that I let them know. I found out that one of my cousin's committed suicide last week. The crazy part about it is that I had no idea she was family. It just made me realize that we can leave this world at the drop of a dime, and that you should express your feelings for those you care for as often as possible. Let them know how appreciative you are to have them in your life. Even if you are afraid of the results to come after, speak your mind. Maybe your words can help someone who is in need. It could possibly save a life. It can inspire...It can reassure...It can make someone smile... It can cause change...It can make you and someone else feel special. Love should never be feared, but embraced. Don't be afraid to love someone with all of yourself...Its natural...Don't hold it in... Let it out. It can only elevate you to a place of happiness. Peace, Love, and Soul Food ya'll, until next post.

The Best I Ever Had

Its very rare for us to come across people in our lives that become what we would consider our best friend/brother/sister etc... You spend so much time with these people or this person you are able to just feed off each others energy. You know when something is wrong without them even saying anything. You know how to make them smile. You know how to push their buttons. Now myself, I have what some would call a lot of associates, but I only have a few I call my best/close friends. It doesn't matter how long or how far away we are from each other, we will always be friends... I don't care what anyone says You can't just stop being friends with someone. Especially when you are SO close. Someone you share so much with and like that the friendship is over? I don't think so... If you both cared enough for each other you would reach out and figure it out. Put the ego and pride aside and remember why you became friends in the first place. Of course you will have your disagreements, but I honestly believe once you find your best friends there is no ending the friendship. There will always be that bond between you two. It can't be denied. Now don't get me wrong, I know what its like to need a break from the people you are around all the time. We all need that, but it doesn't mean that you aren't besties anymore. Life is too short to be mad and negative. Because you know what when you spend all that energy being mad and negative, you will miss out on some special moments that could've been shared.

Truth Is...

Truth is...

I think too much.

I procrastinate.

I fall quickly and hard.

I am Loyal to those I care for even if the loyalty isn't returned.

I am a big kid. lol.

I can be a real asshole.

I am sarcastic

I sometimes live in the past...

I want things to change...

I love to be in love...

I want to be in love again...

I'm scared...

I can't find the words

I know I should move on, but really I can't.

I have so much more to say, but I keep it inside.

Truth Is...
