Water Bill Too High???

My pastor once said, "the grass isn't green on the other side, its green where you water it"...and nothing has ever made more sense to me in my life. It means focus on working on your own ish, your own grass instead of focusing on what someone else has....
Let me break down for yall....
You know how people always think that things are better on the other side of the fence? For example, you may look at one couple and feel like they are perfect, they never fight, they live together, you never hear about any arguments they have, he treats her like an angel supposedly, and you want that....you wonder well what would it be like to be over there on the other side of the fence in that perfect relationship? What you fail to realize, is that their grass may look green but you don't know how much their water bill is! Yeah, their relationship may look perfect to you, but you don't know at what costs that it takes for them to appear that way. They could have put years into working things out in their relationship. Maybe that man was a cheating, lying, abusive bastard and that woman left him for several years, and when they got back together when he got his stuff together and knew how to treat her like a real woman. Would you be willingly to go through her struggle of paying that high ass "water bill" to get her perfectly green grass that she seems to have now?
And this could be said about anything. Say you envy that beautiful girl on campus, she has the perfect body and she is flawless and always on point, but what if she puts in mad hours at the gym to get that perfect body and she has perfected the art of hair and make up after several years...are you willingly to take the time to learn that skill?
What I'm trying to say, is that you cant want what other people have unless you are willingly to do what they did to get where they at/what they have. Everything comes at a price, and some people are willingly to pay a higher prices than others, perhaps yourself will.
So the next time you envy what someone else has and you think that their grass is greener on the side, remember to keep in mind their water bill to pay for that green grass. And maybe, if you are willingly to pay, the grass on the other side wont be greener, it will be green where you water your own grass. If you put work into your own grass and not focus on envying someone else, your grass will be greener....remember, "the grass isn't green on the other side, it's green where you water it"....

Too Cute!!!

I dont usually post stuff about celebs, like gossip and all that other ish...but this was waayyyy too cute to pass up! So just watch the video and enjoy because I did.

Oh To Be A Kid Again

I know I have been quite on a hiatus lol...but I have been busy!!! This is the home stretch, only 6 weeks left to graduation and it is grind time baby! Anywhooo, more about that later....

So for my Poetry class I had to write a 30 page anthology. Yeah, I said 30! Yeah, that's alot right! lol....But it wasn't that bad, just very tedious because of the small bs that the teacher required us to do. We had to pick a theme and collect poems that catered to that theme. We had to get the paper bounded and everything, couldn't turn it in stapled. Gotta love this class right ((I'm def being sarcastic))
But anywhoo, the theme I picked was to be a kid again. I picked this theme because too often do we rush to be adults. We want that sense of independence and not having to listen to anyone because "you are grown". But with gaining this independence, you lose your innocence and a freedom from real responbilites. You gain having the options of making your own decisions, but you lose having the option to blame your parents or anyone else for the consequences of your decisions if you don't like the outcome.
You gain being able to have your own things, cell phone, house, etc etc, and you do as you please. But you lose having your parents for those things. I never realized how much toothpaste and tissue actually cost before living on my own and paying my own bills. We take things like that for granted all the time.
And children these days are in a rush to grow up even faster than I was a pre-teen and teenager. They rush to become adults by doing things like having sex, having boyfriends, smoking weed, doing other drugs, and drinking. What's the rush? All of that will be waiting for you when you get older, once you finally get there.
No one ever takes the time and just enjoy their child hood anymore. And it is very sad. I hear stories everyday about how children as young as 11 and 12 are having sex, with older guys of course, and children as young as 14 getting pregnant or having children! They are still merely children themselves and now they have someone else to be responsible for!
Some things you deal with as a child because that's your world. You deal with things such as petty fights with your best friend, who sits next to who on the bus, who is going to be on the end in a game of rope. Save the adult problems like sex, pregnancy, drugs, fist fights, and family issues for the time that is meant for them to be dealt with.
And what's funny is that the same people who rush to grow up and make their own rules, once they reach adulthood and deal with the consequences of their actions and rules, they want to be children again and deal with those carefree problems that went away by the time you woke up for school the next day.
Some things once gone, you can never get back, ever! And your childhood is one of them! So please cherish it while you can!


Over spring break I went home and just spent time with my family. No, I really did spend time with my family. Yeah I was with Jonathan alot, that is expected, but I sat and talked with my younger sisters, helped my younger brother Cristian with his homework, took him to my younger cousin Taylor's birthday party and stayed with him the whole time, I spend time with my god-daughter Zaria, and I talked with my other younger brother James before he went back down south for college ((Alcorn State University in Mississippi)). And I can honestly say between the petty arguments and shout fests, I enjoyed my time home. Me and my chocolate drop ((18 year old sister)) even starting teaching my younger sister Kenae how to turn and jump double dutch ((who's 10)). And that's what she should be doing at 10 & 11, learning how to jump rope, not sex or rolling a blunt! But we had fun and me and my chocolate even took some turns ourselves. The pictures are below. Enjoy!
ps-Cherish your childhood while you still can.
