Allow me to HUMBLE you..
Disclaimer: If this offends you, you’re welcome. I hope I’ve humbled you today.
It puzzles me how a person gathers the stones that are thrown at them everyday only to launch them in your direction. It amazes me how one can pick at every intricate detail that surrounds someone else’s life without considering the thought of taking a gander at theirs. Have we all forgotten or overlooked the obvious and blatant fact that we are all human and therefore, we are far from perfect? I recently checked myself for clarity and I’m definitely human. Nevertheless, I won’t apologize for that.
It takes a sufficient amount of energy to constantly point out the faults and imperfections of others while trying to ignore your own. Let’s be honest here: from saving face to unnecessary justifications due to guilt, the chores are quite tiring. Personally, I cannot thrive off of negativity and/or tearing down one’s house to build my home. What type of foundation is expected to withhold all of that guilt in the end? Surely, one can’t really think that a house built on such said foundation, won’t come tumbling down. Maybe I’m the only individual who can’t stomach such vile activity. Or maybe it fills the nothingness of some. For me, it definitely doesn’t satisfy any type of void that may exist. My soul thirsts for positive fulfillment. It always has.
Although done everyday, none of us, as humans, are in any type of position to judge the next, especially when we have created the same acts publicly and/or privately. Sin is sin, regardless of the degree. With that being said, you are definitely no better than the person you are trying to judge or have judged. I’m definitely guilty of doing the aforementioned; however, I’ve learned the difference in educated judgments and opinions. I wish more people would do the same.
In essence, we are all statistics in some shape or form. You can belong to the negative aggregation, or the positive. It’s your choice. So to all you individuals who quote lyrics that you only have “kids with one baby daddy” (what is a baby daddy exactly?), be careful because that relationship can end and you’ll then have three kids and two different fathers . What’s even worse, you could be doing it alone–all over again.
Regardless of who it is said to, the ignorant commentary is quite annoying. Be cautious in regards to what you say about others. Be careful of the direction the casting of your stones take as they may make their way back to you! Maps and compasses can be purchased via Amazon.com.
No subliminals. No shade.

Girl, you always know exactly what to say, how to say it, when to say it. Me and my co-workers were having a talk about this the other day and some of them just dont get it. I see I have to get them to read this.
Anyways, chick, you have always been strong. And always the type to take care of your business and I see that hasnt changed and I hope it never does. You have your eyes on it and you better not take them off. I dont think people understand how much of a struggle it is to do what we do until they have to deal with it.
Keep doing what you doing and I cant want to SEE YOU WALK ACROSS THE STAGE cause I know I will God willing.
And forget about her. misery loves company and that bish LONELY right now!

I’m not anymore. It just annoys me that people really overlook their own faults to bring down others. I’ve heard this too many times before, whether it was said to me or about me. Things happen for a reason and granted, some things are within our control even though we fail to take control at the moment. I think what’s most important after losing that control is REgaining it and doing what you need to do to rectify the situation.
You knew the situation. I could have easily accepted that FULL PAID scholarship yo UNO and left Iyanna behind, but I’m not that friggin selfish! I wanted to see her grow. I wanted her to know that I bore her and I love her. I think I made a damn good decision, nevertheless.
And you need to come out here BEFORE I graduate (whenever that is..) ..like YESTERDAY cuzzo!

I totally agree with you. I know this shit has been going on for a while and I’ve kept my peace about it. There were so many times where I wanted to say a good bit but I kept my mouth shut because I knew you could handle your own. Just dont give this dumb broad the time of day. its obvious thats what she is needing since that loser cant seem to get it when you say get lost. (again, i wanted to go in on him but I didnt)
You are beautiful and you are a wonderful mama to my little cousins.

I agree with you on this and that is why I try not to judge people based on that. I too had my first child at 18 years. I also got married, just to be abandoned with 4 children now, that I support on my own. SO even with marriage in the equation it really makes no difference. It really depends on the person and not if you are in just a relationship or married. Regardless of the situation you like many others are strong and responsible women. You have taken the role that man was given by their heavenly Father proving how much stronger and more worthy you are of his love and God will continue to bless you despite the sin the put you in the situation.

I totally agree! I try not to judge people on that either because you never know WHAT could have happened. It’s never good to ASSume anything if one hasn’t made it clear. And you’re absolutely right: Marriage doesn’t mean anything if the person is only doing that JUST so a child won’t be born out of wedlock. I think people focus too much on that. It’s like they focus too much on their sin instead of what they have actually been blessed with. God will make the best out of ANY situation and some people fail to realize that.
