REAL TALK

Have you been in a situation that you really didn't like but did it for the simple reason that the person you love is there and you did not want to disappoint them? This happens everyday you get to a point in life where you are someone or something you don't know. Hold on, do me a favor real quick look in the mirror take 30 seconds and self analyze is that person you see really you??? If not what are you willing to do to change that and become you again? I hope that all of you that read this have that special someone in your life be it a friend that is true, a family member or a romantic affiliation. But ensure that they are not taking advantage of you and that they are really who you think they are. Analyze the exact time and place you are now and who is around you, is this what you wanted? If so by all means keep doing what you do and if not move on if that means cutting ties or rekindling old flames then that is what you need to do...

Some of use take for granted the people that have helped us most throughout or crazy life and once they are gone they realize damn that was the best thing I have ever had and maybe ever will.. Do we dwell upon or mistakes or do we rectify them by making a new relationship with that old person? Also, some people try to hold on to bad apples too long and this ends up destroying what they have now. If your friends no matter how long they have been your "FRIEND" is making an impact on your private life then you need to let if BURN! People you think are your friends are not always what they seem, look at what they have accomplished and how they represent themselves to the public. If you want to make more of a, well to say it the best way social standing for yourself then some people in your life that try to hate or hold you down have to go...

As we age and try to become more of an intellectual and not a party person (which that is really not my scene anyways), we have to cut our childhood bonds with the people that are not evolving with us. If not you will end up like so many others being old and looking in the mirror wondering who the hell is that person looking back at you. Do yourself a favor I have already done and start cutting the loose ends and retying and restructuring the ones you know are real and beneficial in the end. Never forget that self education never ends so strive for excellence.


All right this is real and out right blunt but it's me and I am just trying to give you some...

Found myself in a situation like that last night. I haven’t been “out” out since my operation. I went out last night as the DD to a few clubs with a few of my classmates because they helped me out of a tight spot this week and I didn’t want to disappoint. The whole time I was there in the club, I felt out of place. Like I didn’t belong there. And it wasn’t because I was sober.

All I can say about this entry is do what you gotta do, but also be careful about how you do it. It's like you used to always tell me, "Don't burn your bridges." Take it easy.

i feel you to some extent. but, it's not so easy to drop people, especially when that person was there for you at your lowest, most horrifying, helpless moments - like a real friend. and, even though we are not the same like before... we still have a connection. it might be easy for you not to get attached to people due to your experiences in the military with relocating every so often. But, just like he was there for me.. it doesn't mean I will give him the cold shoulder when he needs one. I'm not saying he is in a pit. his lifestyle is different. He is a hard worker and it's not like he just sits on his ass. i don't give up on people unless it's worthless. and, me being his friend/confidant/drinking buddy.. whatever it may be will not affect my work productivity, goals or anything that i've been working towards. I am not putting you second to anyone...i just have to disagree on this one.
