Greetings Ladies & Gents,
Praying that you all are staying healthy and safe out here in the world, as a whole.
I know that I typically keep things pretty chill on here and don't get into topics that are overly deep. But lately I've been compelled by my inner spirit to speak on how I'm feeling right now. As a black man in America today, I am troubled by the lack of progress I've seen for my people. We are halfway through 2020 and still dealing with racism in all of its evil shapes and forms.
It's quite the unique time that we find ourselves living in right now, but despite the circumstances I hope that you all are remaining healthy and happy out there. Obviously things can't be treated as if they're back to normal, for that would simply be irresponsible on our parts. But I can still do my best to keep the lines of communication open with you all and share what things may come to my mind in the form of these posts. With that out of the way, let's dive right in to today's topic of choice…
You honestly can’t tell me what I think
If I say something, it’s not just talk or speech
The way you speak, smirk and laugh
It makes me want to enjoy your space
Then there’s that skin, figure and sway
Now I want to explore you and learn your taste…
Told myself I wouldn’t do it
I told myself I wouldn’t do this with you again
Yet here we are, wasting each other’s time
Seriously, why do we do this to each other?
Is it because we enjoy being hurt?
Or maybe we’re simply both insane
Going through the same motions
Expecting new things, new dreams…
I hope you're all doing well and feeling good. I know, I know. It has been quite a bit of time since I last spoke to you all, but don't be too mad at me. I decided to take some time to focus on my self growth and personal goals…
I hope your summertime is kicking into full gear and you’re enjoying yourselves! During this time of year, we tend to see a spike in the amount of trips made and events attended. With that said, I just wanted to give a brief reminder to always make sure you’re protecting your energy….
I hope your holiday weekend treated you well with plenty of laughs, food and relaxation. It felt like an absolute blur to me, but thankful for the time off nonetheless. Speaking of time off, I recently had the …
Well it feels like we were just figuring out how to handle our respective 2018s. Yet here we are, a day or so from 2019. Were you all able to knock out all of your goals this past year? Yea, me neither. But I hope at least most of them…
Hoping that this message finds you well and healthy. It's safe to say we are officially rolling through the holiday season. Feels like Halloween was literally a week ago. Yet here we are getting turkeys prepped and tables set for folks to…
Happy November! Maybe it's just me, but November has to be the best month out of the year. Now you may feel like I'm just saying that due to the convenient fact that my birthday lands in the center(16th) of it. But who can deny the greatness of the leaves transforming into beautiful shades of yellow, orange and red? Then when you consider it includes Thanksgiving on top of that, I really can't find any cons with this time of year.
It feels like it's been so long since I've spoken to you all, but it's really only been about a month or so. We're good! So I was thinking we'd mix things up this time around and look at things from a different perspective. I had the pleasure of traveling to South Africa for 2 weeks with my family in early July, and let me just say I'm still in awe of it all…
I hope that your 2019 is off to an extra positive and productive start. And if not, I'm sure that things will begin to turn around for you in the near future! Today's piece is both for those that are currently in relationships and for those that could possibly find themselves in one at some point down the road. That…
