  • Why Do I Care

    Book titled why do I care

    The Battlefield

    Why do I care; is what Demarcus asked himself. His journey has been long but yet it has just begun. As he stands and looks down at those who tried to take his strength from him he feels sorrow. There is a part of him that understands his enemies. As they lay trapped in the pitted ground he hesitates with the decision to pull the lever and bury them in the hole they dug for him. Their names are The Longings. Demarcus was drawn to that part of them. Nevertheless that part of them is what they use as weapons to destroy their enemies. Their enemy is the combination of inner strength and hope. The longing within them gives them the power to reflect back anything that you are. When this happens they are able to soften the hearts of their targets.

    Memories Of Sweet Eyes

    Once the target’s heart is softened, The Longing’s powers start to work. It is a slow but effective poison. This poison drains you of all of your strength and hope. Not only do you lose your strength and hope The Longings are temporarily able to gain strength and hope from taking yours. Which is why Demarcus is burdened with the thought of “why do I care.” Once all of your strength and hope is taken you become one of them. That is the part that causes Demarcus pain when it is time to pull the lever. Although they tried to destroy him; he looks deep within their eyes and he can see what used to be hope turned into unyielding pain. Nevertheless not all of them are the same.
    Sadly, some were born into The Longings and when he looks into their eyes he sees the constant thirst for blood. I know that it’s hard to believe but some of them were once good people.

    Recognizing Of Weapons

    Nonetheless they had no compassion for Demarcus when The Longing slandered him to break his strength of character. The organizers of The Longing used the ones that used to be his friends to burn him with hot water. This was done to break his spirit. Afterwards every member of The Longing in pairs of two would hold hands with only their left hand and throw stones at Demarcus with their right hand. This was done to break his hope.

    The Longings only united to do the work that is in their hearts. That work is to destroy strength and hope. It was a strange thing because they destroyed the very thing that they needed to recharge. It could be compared to no one caring about the pollution in the air until they can no longer breathe without oxygen tanks. When Demarcus was almost broken he looked at his arms and legs where he was tortured with hot water and saw no burns. He then looked at his face in the mirror and saw no bruises from the stones that were thrown at him.

    Walking Again

    In that moment he realized that The Longings only have the permission to break you mentally and spiritually. He realized that they were weak and he pitied them. In that moment his heart felt a sadness for them and he asked himself again “why do I care?” He got up that day and started walking. As he walked they threw boiling water, stones and hurled insults. Whilst this was happening Demarcus held on to hope and they started to drop one by one. He then reached a mountain and he saw a twinkle at the top. Therefore, he started to climb the mountain. Once he reached the top of the Mountain he felt the spirit of God within him giving him the ultimate powers of strength and hope.

    The Longings looked at him at the top of the mountain and each person in their spot started to go into the ground. The pit that they were in was as deep as the one they each dug for Demarcus. All of the dirt gathered in a net connected to a lever which Demarcus held in his right hand. At that very moment he had two options. Either he could pull the lever and bury them or just walk away. He looked away from them and pulled the lever. Which some would say was cruel but he knew there was no other way to co-exist with The Longings. He cries as he leaves this place of hopelessness still asking himself, “why do I care?”

  • Pieces Of The Puzzle

    Pieces of the puzzle

    There is Plenty of Air

    It’s okay to be able to see the beauty in things you yourself don’t have and understand that others have pieces of the puzzle. Jealousy stems from the perception of seeing someone else’s come up as your downfall. It doesn’t make you inadequate because you don’t have all of the pieces to the puzzle. Recently I talked about creating the pieces of the puzzle that you don’t have. However at times accepting that you don’t have all of the pieces and putting together what you have is all you need to do. Therefore, you need others to complete the puzzle.

    Keep On Planting

    The pieces are missing because the puzzle requires teamwork. The Most High gave each person a few pieces of the puzzle. He may bless one person to be good in the fields. It will seem like every seed they plant turns into a beautiful harvest. That doesn’t mean that you stop planting your seeds or look down upon your own. It just means wow the Most High really blessed their hands in the fields. I am a student of people who are skilled in different areas. I appreciate being able to learn from different people.

    Furthermore the Most High may bless someone with the ability to make fishing look easy. It doesn’t mean you should feel bad because they are gifted in fishing. Just because they are great at fishing it shouldn’t change the fact that you enjoy fishing also. Maybe you are good at understanding nature and animals. There are so many different skills necessary to complete the puzzle. Singing, counseling, drawing, cooking, teaching are all skills.

    Let Go Of The Hate

    Too many times people are being attacked by others just for daring to be outwardly happy about their blessings. If you can’t tell your friends your goods news, those are not your friends. Hearing about somebody else being happy shouldn’t make you sad. However, I am not talking about the toxic fake happiness when they just want you to think they are happy and their energy is giving mad as hell. In addition, their mouths are yelling I’m happy over and over because they want to compete with your true joy. 

    I am talking about when a person is genuinely feeling good about how their life is going it shouldn’t make you mad. Sometimes it just seems like people are just waiting on your marriage to fail, waiting on you to lose your job, waiting on you to get evicted. Life has ups and downs. Never use someone else’s downfall to prop yourself up and learn to be happy for others in their up seasons. With that being said, it is not always meant for you to complete the whole puzzle.

    People Need People

    One person definitely can not complete the Most High’s puzzle. If you think you can complete it by yourself; why weren’t you the only one created? Humans really do have a herd mentality.  Nonetheless we were created that way. This can be used against us or for us. Are you with the sheep that has thousands of members or  millions of members? I rather be with the sheep that has thousands of members because they are the thinkers.

    Be Picky About Your People

    The herd can be manipulated, that is why the media uses it against us. The larger the herd is the larger the lie. It is necessary for the sheep to follow the Most High in order to find freedom. Freedom from demonic strongholds that keeps a person’s spirit locked in bitterness, jealousy, depression, laziness, etc. There is a herd following the Most High too; you just can’t see the thousands as well as you can see the millions. One of the first things the Most High said to man is “it is not good for  man to be alone.” Therefore it is okay to need others; as long as you choose your crew wisely.

  • Drifting Into Peace

    Drifting into Peace

    Thinking Peaceful Thoughts

    As I lay here drifting into peace; at this moment I forget about my troubles. As I snuggle with myself rubbing my feet together slightly smiling. I get up to look out at the beautiful rain. There was a storm outside today. I wonder sometimes; what is it about hard rain that calms the soul? It is so beautiful and it makes me so happy. All I want to do right now is to keep drifting further and further into peace.

    I think about things that I have no idea how to do like climbing trees lol. Although I know it sounds silly it just makes me think about the beauty of nature. In retrospect I sometimes think about nothing or I think about thinking about nothing. Either way it is peaceful. Even when I think about nothing I always think about the Most High while in the midst of thinking about nothing. I think about how he has blessed me to be able to bask in a moment of peace.

    Moments Of Rest

    While laying here thinking that I am thinking about nothing I write this article. While writing I close my eyes in between sentences in order to feel the tingle of peace. For me I feel the tingle in my brain, lower legs, stomach, and heart. I know for people who don’t understand it may sound like a heart attack lol. Honestly it is the best feeling ever. It just feels like reaching the destination after drifting into peace.

    When you close your eyes and just enjoy the moment it’s like you can see a whole lot of space in your head. It seems like you are looking into a whole other world. It is like a dark purple-ish color with a burst of light as if the sun is peeking in. Everything is perfect even if it is just for a moment. I know that real life is right around the corner but as long as I hold on to this it makes all burdens so much lighter.

    Finding The Good

    I guess for me thinking about nothing other than the feelings that the Most High has given me in this moment is what I mean by thinking about nothing. While drifting into peace you are actually thinking but the thoughts are without burdens. Thinking in general seems like such a stressful process unless you incorporate thinking about what is beautiful. It’s like giving yourself pep talks.

    For example I would think I don’t feel like washing the dishes. Then I would think how much better I feel when I cook a good meal. It may sound simple but it makes me happy when I cook meals that are better for our health. Or I could think I don’t want to work today but then I think about the good feeling of handling my business. One thing that helps me in life is always shifting my thoughts towards a resolution and accepting if there is none.

    Finding Resolutions

    For example if you lose a finger it’s gone but that doesn’t mean it’s the end of the road. It just means now you have to learn how to do everything with nine fingers instead of ten. Losing a finger or etc. sometimes motivates you to be better than you were before. When you lose something that is when the value of it becomes apparent. With that, the value of the things that you still have also become apparent.

    Smile because you have a lot to look forward to. Recognize what you are up against and overcome every single obstacle. Work hard even if there is no one in the stands rooting for you. Just imagine you fell off of a bike and you were able to see the faces of everyone that saw you and kept riding. It is a blessing to know the faces of people who silently despise you. Now don’t get it twisted if you are a habitual user of others that is probably why they don’t want to help you.

    It’s The Principle

    From the opposite point of view, if you don’t ask for much but you asked that when people come to visit your art store to sign in at the door because something so small makes others feel comfortable. Instead of signing in, some people come in, enjoy the art; and then pretend they were never there. When I ask people to do something to support the work here I already know who the people are that are riding by at night in black cars.

    The secret is to never look at the passersby. They are not all bad people but at the same time looking at them is distracting you from riding your bike, that’s probably why you fell off of it. Only look to make sure you don’t get hit by a car. Sometimes that is the Most High’s way of reminding me that it is not about them. We can never see through the eyes of the Most High so sometimes when people come into your store and pretend they were never there it is for your protection.

    Enjoy The Moments

    Some people want to be your friend only to rob the store. I don’t mind telling you the secrets to how I continually create. I don’t care to keep it a secret because creativity has no limit. You can be creative as you want to be and it will only add more beauty to the world. There is no such thing as a creator’s blockage. In all actuality it is not a blockage; it is the consequence of trying to create from outside of yourself.

    If I am feeling nervous that the work is not good I put it out anyways just to move on from it. It’s like throwing the nerves in the trash and cleaning your house to move new furniture in. Creative literally means the act of turning new and imaginative ideas into reality. You can’t do that if you don’t have time to think about your own thoughts uninterrupted. Jealousy kills all creativity, authenticity, and peace. How can you enjoy anything if you are constantly in a one-sided competition? Let it go. Focus on your own growth. Enjoy the moments when you have a few minutes of quiet time. It makes hills so much easier to climb.

  • Layers Of Black

    Layers Of Black

    More Than What Greets The Eye

    The layers of black are many. I realized over the last few days how beautiful the color black is. Minus the black heart I referred to in the poem un-tied. Nonetheless black resembles the night. Animals even love the night. There is a level of safety mixed with a level of danger in the night. It feels good to go to a busy well lit park that sits over the ocean at night. The night provides privacy that is either used to do good or evil. You are either in peace or at war at night. In the animal world hunting is more exercised at night. The joys of camping reach its best moments at night. There is something about the night that eases anxiety. This is only in settings where you feel safe. On the opposite end the night can increase anxiety.

    I remember dark nights getting off of the bus walking alone. My anxiousness would be through the roof. When I finally reached home I then would sit on the porch in my safety nest and enjoy the peace of the night. Laying out looking at the stars and the moon just makes things quiet in your mind. Your own thoughts become a vibe. It’s like you are still thinking but the thoughts are so gentle that it feels like you are not. The layers of black fits every occasion. Business attire loves black. Gothic loves black. Even funerals love black. Which makes me think why is a beautiful color like black so sad in a way. One reason I guess is because there is danger associated with the color.

    Safe & Dangerous

    Nevertheless there is also safety associated with black. Have you ever heard of a little black dress? If you are going for sexy but also trying to slim down it is the dress of choice. It is safe because the color slims you down but it is dangerous because it is little. Ladies by the way you will get more respect by throwing away the little black dresses. I just had to throw that in there because I believe that we should dress with a level of respect for ourselves. Guns are black in most cases and also carry a level of danger and safety. You won’t see too many people with a white gun. In human designs white colors are used to represent pure and clean. Which makes sense because stains can easily be seen on white.

    If I am being honest white really does represent a level of purity. I can’t really agree that black represents danger but sixty five percent of it does. The remaining thirty five percent represent peace and safety. Still, I do have a question. Have you ever seen a black or a white human? I know I haven’t. Both of these beautiful colors represent different things. Racism decided to put color labels onto humans. All to brainwash the world into thinking that Caucasian people are pure and African Americans are dangerous. I do think that some designs like all black at funerals are used to make the color black seem depressing and sad. Death is one of the saddest realizations.

    Programming The Masses

    With the color black being associated with so much disparity, giving a black label to African Americans is programming the masses to associate a certain group with disparity. It is a subtle meditation that programs a group to play out the role of hopelessness. Furthermore this enables the attempts of placing “black” people at the bottom. Like many have pointed out before in other countries people are not defined by such labels. In Mexico their people are Mexican. In Jamaica their people are Jamaican. Nonetheless, in Africa their people are African. In Europe their people are European. Notwithstanding, in Japan their people are Japanese.

    Now why is it that in America people are being labeled with labels that strip away all culture? Many African Americans have stated that they prefer not to be called a black person. Why won’t America listen to these concerns? America has these labels in place to keep the world brainwashed. Black and white people don’t exist. Give those colors back to purpose. America if you don’t have a name for your people; why didn’t you just call all of them Americans? I am sure that labeling people as black and white was a well thought out plan in America’s racism. Personally with all of the mental and physical abuse that has been done on the citizens of America; I would rather African Americans and Caucasian Americans come up with their own labels for what they want to be known as.

    No Longer Needing Acceptance

    Then again why did they need to come up with black and white people; when African American and Caucasian American clearly makes more sense. Due to America’s history of racism I understand why we can’t all just be American; too much hurt is there. At this point, I would be ashamed to be American. Still, America’s labeling of black and white is practicing racism. The layers of black are many. So often the purity in black is never acknowledged, but always subconsciously seen. Since these labels have been placed on African American people to cause harm; I would say, never underestimate the layers of black.

  • Appreciate Peace

    Poem titled Appreciate Peace

    Recognizing Peace

    Peace is everlasting love that intermingles with trial and comfort. Peace is like the beautiful centerpiece that makes a room beautiful. Trials are the warrior inside of you wanting to be whole. It is not toxic to understand that there is no peace without trial. It teaches you how to appreciate and recognize peace. Even those that have had peace without trial; don’t understand that they have had peace. If peace is all you have ever had you won’t understand the value of it.

    When I say those that have had peace without trial I am speaking of possibly babies or maybe children. Sadly, sometimes they don’t even get to experience peace without trial. People that stayed months in the hospitals on ventilators during covid and recovered should understand and appreciate peace. After going through something so tragic, it has to be peaceful to just be able to breathe on your own. If the Most High has granted them peace they are probably mentally in a really safe place. The things you learn to value when they are taken away.

    Understanding Trial

    Why do you think people that are barely making it financially will give to the homeless before a rich person. They likely had some hard nights sleeping at a bus station or worse. For the ones who let trials soften their hearts and not harden it. Which makes them care a little more for those that are struggling worse than them. We all know that the poor give more than the rich. Being down can teach you how to pull the next person up. Now that they have their own apartment; they don’t care that it’s outdated. In fact they love it; because of their struggle they know the value in even having an apartment. It is the same with peace.

    Furthermore, you really think about it after you are betrayed by many, after all of the tears from the stones that life throws at you. Then you understand and appreciate the value of peace. Even so, you learn to intermingle peace with all trial and tribulation. While closing your eyes and centering yourself in the midst of the storm you look into the eyes of peace. At that very moment you cry tears of joy. There is nothing like peace in the midst of the storm. It is truly an invincible feeling. I appreciate peace, she has truly been a friend to me. She comes from the heavenly father.

    The Laborers Are Few

    What’s more, I think that one of the biggest misconceptions about the Most High is we think that he blesses us without work. Anything that he gives you, he has an instruction manual on how to obtain it. He is truly a teacher. Nothing is too complicated for the creator to make you skilled in works. As long as you understand that you are here to serve him and not the other way around. Therefore follow his lead. Some people may say well I have felt the trial but never the peace. I would say to you, truly seek the Most High without rebellion.

    Travail, without turning into a survivor. I know you are probably thinking, isn’t it the goal to survive? No, surviving is not the goal. Surviving means barely made it. Anyone who lives through trauma survived. You can be without a soul and still be a survivor. If there was no food on the earth for months people would eat people to live and call themselves survivors. The goal is to be a warrior. Warriors are the 5 people that decided not to eat other people and learned how to make the soil nutritious enough to grow food again.

    Be One Of The 5 Warriors

    Learning to center your soul in the midst of trial will make you a warrior. You will be a thriver. You would be one with integrity. Your stance will be the stance of strength. There is none like inner strength. Inner strength is integrity, healing, love, compassion, understanding your weapons, the ability to move forward, building and knowing when to re-build. With that being said there is no inner strength without the Most High. If you choose the Most High you choose strength. You choose to be a warrior. You choose peace.

  • Toxic-People love sensitive individuals

    Poem titled Toxic-People love sensitive individuals

    Sensitive People Notice Everything

     Toxic-people love sensitive individuals. Sensitive people notice everything from tone or how a sentence was worded. Which makes them extremely reactive and easy to extract energy from. Most sensitive people can literally be mentally abused in plain sight and no one will notice it except them. Toxic people love this because they can extract energy without taking responsibility for the outcome. In fact loving the outcome. You will notice that after a toxic person belittles their victim their mood will even brighten up. It is as if they just drank an energy drink.

    That is if they think their insult landed. If it does not land after a few tries a toxic person’s mood becomes extremely depressed. Like a flower that hasn’t been watered. They need your energy. A sensitive person to them is an unlimited supply of energy. This is why toxic people love sensitive individuals. I watched a video years ago and in this video the woman explained it so well when she stated that these people actually regulate themselves through you. This is true. I have seen toxic people have emotional breakdowns from not being able to trigger their target.

    Don’t Allow Them To Control Your Comfort

    The worst thing you can do is let these people force you into seclusion. That is going to have your emotions all over the place because you are allowing them to control your life. They are stopping you from being you because you don’t want to deal with their temper tantrum. Their antagonizing behavior is more of a reflection of how they feel about themselves than you. In fact, hurting you is all about them trying to balance their own negative emotions by destroying your positive emotions.

    Toxic-people love sensitive individuals as if draining your energy is their life force. If there were energy infusions similar to blood transfusions sensitive people would be paid to donate energy. You are not responsible for their negative emotions. Don’t play their game but also know your rights to own your peace. It literally hurts them to see you happy. In a family or group setting you can’t always just confront a toxic person about their actions. Most times the whole group knows the person is toxic but will all say they haven’t noticed anything. Here’s the good one: “you take things too personal.” As time goes on you will notice that the toxic person causes hell for everyone.

    You Don’t Have To Prove Anything

    Nevertheless you don’t want to stick around to find out. Simply because you know what you went through and you don’t need anyone else to validate it. Most times there is at least one other person in the group that is also toxic but probably seems like the nice one at first glance. The rest of the group is so used to it that they don’t understand why you are complaining. It is important for you to acknowledge if you have to be around that person again that yes the things they did or their intent did hurt you. You didn’t lose any battles in a game that you are not playing.

    Before you knew what you were dealing with you probably indeed played their game by simply trying to defend yourself. Or even wasting your time trying to show them the error in their actions. They love that because it’s like a new opportunity to disappoint you. Acknowledge that if a person is constantly trying to trigger you that you are not a weak person for reacting. Acknowledge what you went through. The second most important thing is for you to know that a toxic person’s goal is to trigger you. This will help you to be less triggered once they do what you already knew they would.

    Their Energy Is Demonic

    There is a very dark energy surrounding these individuals. They literally all do the same thing but in different ways. It doesn’t matter how smart or dumb they are, their goal is the same. Which is to trigger you. Sensitive people held on to their vulnerability which helped them identify their flaws and improve themselves. Toxic-people hate and love this about sensitive individuals. They love that they can exploit it and hate that you are comfortable in your own skin. Acknowledge that you can not be better than these people at their game. Trying to be more evil than them is like a new employee trying to out work a 10+ year veteran employee.

    Nevertheless you can be better than them at your game. Which should be improving yourself, living your life on your own emotional gauge, and rejecting theirs. Becoming like them is exactly what they want. After behaving like them for so long you will corrupt your own character. You will exhaust yourself trying to play a game that is first and second nature to them and not in your nature at all. You could probably very easily crush the little bit of human left in these people but you will hurt yourself doing that. As a matter of fact I don’t think you will crush them all. The demon in them would just pat them on the back for doing a good job at turning you.

    Sorry That I Am Not Sorry

    I believe that as a small child some toxic people were sensitive but their spirits were broken. They probably learned fast that life is easier as a villain. After denying vulnerability for so long I believe that being a villain became their complete self identity. It’s impossible to feel sorry for them because they usually hate you for caring and will use it against you. I have had toxic people use my invitations to help them as a reason to insult my competence. Not anymore, I refuse to build a house for a person who is tearing mine down. These people will actually defend people who refused to help them and criticize the one person that helped them.

    Your kindness is simply an invitation to be exploited for a toxic person. If you have kids with the person or have to deal with them always keep your feelings out of all cordial interactions. Kind of treat the situation like a professional occasion. Remember, you are not responsible for their negative emotions. That to me is the only way to be around these people without them sucking the life out of you. “Toxicity needs your energy like needing water; let it die of thirst.” Always remember you are not playing their game. Your focus is to remember that their emotions do not belong to you.

  • New is In The Air

    New is in the air

    Something Feels New

    Today is the shape of new-ness. I can feel something new is in the air. Something that is better and peace colors the lines of the circle. This new thing that I feel lets me know that all will be okay. Today’s shape is a full circle. It is a floating circle on a destination to something good. I imagine it in my mind as a beautiful day with the sun at the perfect angle followed by a light breeze. The city is beautiful and everyone has a destination. Mine is not totally clear; but I am walking in the right direction to get there.

    All Of The Necessary Strides

    I make all of the strides necessary to make it to the new and beautiful destination. Although at times I feel a little nervousness in my belly; a force greater than me places one foot in front of the other. It is like a maze that has different levels. Every time I reach a new level it proves that the work is necessary. I love the work and new discoveries. When new is in the air; I love jumping right in and breaking down the walls of the fear of the unknown. Of course that is with the use of discretion of whether it’s a wall worth breaking.

    Putting One Foot In Front Of The Other

    There are so many things that I have learned from simply putting one foot in front of the other. Also willing to accept what is and what is not. With that I determine if “what is” and “what is not” is truly what the term says. The truth never lies and a lie always has holes in the story. I am also learning on this new destination to trust what is revealed is the truth and don’t question your gut. If everything else lies your gut is always telling you the truth. The almighty gives us this ability to steer us and save us from snares.

    Choosing Which Way To Walk

    Not all snares are bad, some are necessary but only when your mind is set on following the right direction of the destination. You may know that you need to walk another way but there are multiple options. So you choose one. You may start walking and someone who could be viewed as a snare tells you that the best way to get there is through the route that you were already going before you rerouted. At first you deny their suggestion because deep down you know that their intentions are not good. It can be confusing when new is in the air because there are risk involved.

    Staying True To Your Destination

    Somehow they managed to convince you to go that route. There is often trial and error when new is in the air. Although you went along you know that you are only going to get to where you really want to go. So you won’t allow yourself to be distracted when you walk through this place. There is no stopping you from getting to the goal. When you get there they tell you “well you’re here so you might as well stay”. In spite of that your mind is already made up and you refuse and then someone comes as a guide and tells you exactly how to get to where you are going. You can feel it in your heart that they are honest.

    Remain Free Of Distractions

    It feels as if the Most High himself placed the voice of guidance in that person at that moment. You never would have got that information had the person who was the snare had not told you to go back the other way. If you were not determined to get to the right destination you would have stayed when the people told you to “stay there is comfort here”. If you had agreed to stay, the voice of guidance would have never arrived. With that being said you need to be free of distractions and determined to make it to the new destination. Once you know this, not even a snare can stop you. The Most High will use every snare to get you to the next level. It is up to you to stay committed and trust the process.

  • They Hate You

    They Hate You

    Haters Like To Be In Your Presence

    Today’s topic of the day is; why do people seek the attention of someone they hate? Throughout life every single person that has grown to hate me attempted to control me. Every person that hates me still attempts to be in my presence. Now I don’t know about you, but I don’t seek to be in the presence of a person that disturbs my spirit. As a matter of fact I have been through a lot in life and I now prefer to be alone or with people that I know their intentions are good. Call it what you want but I am the one that has to live my life. I don’t hate anyone but I prefer not to put too many more heartbreaks on my spirit.

    They Are Always Playing Mental Gymnastics

    Ever since I can remember I have always preferred separation over drama. This can be a good and a bad thing. Some people will understand how much you value your peace. Therefore they will try to muzzle you by disturbing your peace. If you really want to know if a person hates you; be vulnerable with them. They will take that vulnerability and slowly pick away at it.

    It is better to give a person a reason to expose themselves than to keep a wolf in your life. If you are an independent person and everyone comes to you for help, say no sometimes. A lot of people come to you because they know there is no requirement for them to help in your life. So you are like a glass of water that they can drink from, but they never have to fill the glass. Once you say no you will find that these individuals will act as if you betrayed them.

    Give The Real Intention A Reason To Show Up

    It is better that they expose themselves than for you to keep allowing them to drain you of your kindness. These people don’t even think you deserve human decency. For them you are strictly someone to be used to their benefit. They seek your attention because they know that you are a good person. In their mind they feel they need to control how your good deeds are applied to the world. When they are unable to do this you will be like an enemy. Be careful of flattery; in most cases it is used so that devaluation can be effective. Personally, I love when people expose themself. Most likely my spirit already felt it, and now I have a reason to draw the lines clearly. Once they make it clear that they dislike you; you can now say let’s separate ourselves.

    Don’t Allow Them To Steer Your Life

    People want you to be afraid to take the steering wheel in your life. Pay attention because they will never have a problem with you when you are driving your car straight to hell. The issues will arrive when you turn that car around and drive the other way. Something on the inside of them gets triggered by this. It triggers them to be focused on bringing you back to where you were by shunning you. When you decide to live a better life, be prepared to lose people. Always trust that the Most High will give you the people that he deems worthy in your life.

    (Poem) “Value Yourself”

    The inspiration for this poem (Value Yourself) is that a lot of young men and women grow up trying to find value in the wrong place. -Author Urban Poems-

    He was only 17 sexing a crack fein he never really had much of a self-esteem. He didn’t see his value so he had no values. So it didn’t really matter that she had no virtues. His worth was in between the legs a lady; It didn’t really matter that she kinda shady. When he was just a boy he was taught that lust was cool. So it became a must that he slept with all the girls at school. The love was never true so any hole would due. It never fulfilled his thirst because he put his manhood first. So his self esteem got worse. His worth became his semen because his lust was his demon. He asked God for a mate but God showed him his fate. So he called off all his dates. He felt a lot of wrath when he saw his future path. He learned to pray to God and let God have all his tears. He asked god for better years a life with no more fears. After all the many years he put his old life in the rears…he could finally see things clearer the new man in the mirror.
