Real recognize Real....

I had a very interesting conversation with my big brudder today which made me think on a recent event that happened to me and I was inspired!

Question of the day: "Why is it so hard for ADULTS to act as such and be real??"

I, unfortunately, don't have the answer to that. I look at myself as a real individual. Never been fake and don't appreciate when others are fake with me. Regardless of the outcome certain situations bring, good or bad, we should all walk away knowing that "hey, at least I spoke my peace and was 1 hun." I don't have respect for people who are "people pleasers" telling everyone what they think they want to hear instead of speaking their mind. I was raised on this principle: "If you feel some kinda way speak on it" [period]

Now I'm not saying everybody needs to be rude and offer unsolicited opinions, etc...I just mean if someone asks you a question, BE REAL. Don't beat around the bush because in the end, you're not helping bring a resolution to the matter. On the flip side, if you have an issue with someone, instead of being a punk, let that person know. Sitting around being aggravated doesn't stop anyone else's progress but your own. To add to that, don't go around telling other people NOT INVOLVED IN THE SITUATION how you feel, but when it comes time to confront the person you feel some kinda way about, you *bish* up, it's no longer "that big of a deal" and let stuff ride. But just a few days ago, it was dang near the end of the world!    .....that really gets under my skin......

ALSO,

Folks who let others speak FOR them baffles me....How are you in your 20's, 30's, 40's yet have no opinion about anything? [sighs] Let me calm my nerves....*woosha*

With all that being said, the main point I'm trying to make is: Real recognizes Real. I have a very good B.S. detector & have no problem calling folks out. I don't mean any harm and I don't do it to embarrass anyone, but I refuse to associate myself with anyone less than genuine.

Suggestion:

Reevaluate your inner circle...if you know people who ALWAYS seems to

have an issue with somebody else, but come to YOU about it...hmmm..

they may be guilty. If a friend of yours, seems to ALWAYS  know

how to tell you how to fix your problems, but their life is a

mess?? Hmmm....sounds guilty to me! OR if someone you

know is ALWAYS mad about some petty ish, can't seem

to let it go, but still vibes with the person they're

 mad at????????? GUILTY!

#thatisall

Oy vey!

I really don't understand what just happened.....lol Not less than 30 mins after mentioning a name, I get a call & txt from that particular individual!

Lawd, is this a test??? Like for reals......I DISLIKE getting a phone call from someone, who vowed never to speak to me again or at least for quite some time, asking for a favor before even checking on my life. Where they do that at?!? I hate to say that I need to stop being so nice when generosity and kindness is in my nature, but in this instance, I don't think I have any other choice.

It was all good just a week ago.....

It's funny how things can change so quickly. One event in life, one wrong thing said, one wrong choice made that seemed right at the time can flip your whole world upside down.....[inner circle shrinking by the minute]....At the moment, I can't nor do I want to deal with the complication. I'm tempted to wish for the days before I knew you existed, however, without having met you I would have never learned the lessons needed to blossom into the mature woman I am today. You're an awesome friend, but only when you want to be. Sad part about all of this is, I'm quite confident someone will, or HAS, come along to pick up where you decided to leave off..[shrug] Can't say I didn't go hard in the paint for this one, but like a friend of mine tweeted today "Never look back unless you plan to go that way" and as MOST of you know, I'm all about forward movement. With that being said, I'm wiping my hands of this and letting it go.

[like Chris Brown] "DEUCES!!!!"

Welcom Back, Welcome Back, Welcome Back!

"Back in the lab, with a pen & a pad!!".......I swear I'm still alive everyone!! :-) Let's see *taps chin* what's been going on????

I recently had a job working for an architectural firm which was exciting. I finally felt like a grown up again! The work was SUPER easy, but trust and believe the kid didn't complain.....it got me out of the house so I was all for it! And because the work was so easy, I had to time focus on my college app essays (TOTAL WIN!!!) Unfortunately for me, it only lasted 2 wks...sooooooooo now I'm back to where I started. Home. Job hunting.

On another note, I'M A GOD MOMMY AGAIN!!!!! One of my P.I.C.s gave birth to a healthy baby boy Sunday, September 26th, at 12:30 AM!!!!! She's an amazing young lady with a great partner in life to help her raise their little angel. I just hope my other love bug doesn't get too jealous! :-) I look forward to meeting Jabari VERY soon!!!! Loves him already!

Hmmmm.....what else???? OH! Since I am once again unemployed, I was able to take a trip to Atlanta this past weekend. I almost didn't go, but lucky for me I changed my mind! (I totally believe in fate) The Atlanta Classics were taking place, TSU vs. FAMU, and I was looking forward to a repeat of last year's festivities.....visiting with the fam, hitting up the mall, tailgating with the bruhs of Omega Psi Phi, eating good food, having some laughs and PARTY PARTY PARTY!!!! I quickly realized all things aren't meant to go according to plan.....
