If you really want something you’ll find a way. If you don’t you’ll find an excuse. I say I want a lot of things but those “lot of things I want”, I don’t have them. Do I really want them? Or do I want to do enough to get by? I’ve laid out a structure […]

I DON’T NEED TO QUALIFY MY WORTH

Mon, February 15, 2016 by johnaloveslife

Sometimes we feel it’s better to believe negatively about ourselves than to believe positively.

I recently had a birthday & I celebrated myself for four days straight. I don’t mean I hit the club every night. I mean I just did something special specifically for me & no one else. I sung my own praises, I told myself I am great & I told myself I am important. I […]

I’m not going to be satisfied with myself or what I’m bringing unless I be honest, so I’m just going to honest. There’s an asshole in my life. He’s an asshole, straight up & down, ass, hole. In an episode of The Boondocks Dr. King said: “…niggas are living contradictions niggas are full of unfulfilled […]
