Imitation of Life


 It’s funny the twists and turns of this thing called life.  I feel like we are all just here winging it and even when someone gives us a blueprint or sets it up for us it's still never easy.  I mainly think it's not easy because of all of things like the conditioning and the brainwashing that comes from society.  

Life is so fleeting and to think we worry almost our entire lives about love and money and some of us just worry about the basics or bare minimums a place to lay their head at night.  You know when I lived out of my car for a week one time, I never realized how much I took taking a shower for granted.  


I called this blog The Imitation of Life because it was the name of a movie my mother introduced to me! It’s about a mixed girl who could pass completely for white, but her father had disowned her, so she only had her black mother who looked after her. She hated her mother for being black but at the end of the movie when her mother dies, she had a complete meltdown on her open casket funeral. Before that if she saw her mother in the street, she would not even speak to her.  


Why am I talking about this movie or why is it even a thought because just the statement alone " Imitation of Life" shows us how caught up we are in the illusion of things:  someone’s color , what they wear , how they wear their hair, where they live , what they can and can’t pronounce , what they believe spiritually to be the truth , why they don’t eat this, why they don’t say it like the way you say it, why don’t they own a house , why they don’t have a car , why do they not talk a lot , why do they choose to be silent about something, why can’t they pay their bills on time like you do, why they don’t workout , why they decided to never go to college, why do they workout, y'all WHY anything ????

 How often do you find yourself imitating something that just isn’t who you really are. Do you ever sit and say who am I??? Probably not!  who questions this go with the flow super sensitive ass society we live in? Do we ever even really question manners to someone we don’t even know or better yet someone we do know. I literally just want to be softer!!! Not imitating Kim K or the BBL stripper! Not imitating balling out of control to prove to someone I have money, that will be 10 shots of Don Julio 1942 😑😑😑. You can’t take a single thing with you not your body your money or all the hoes you claim to have! And for the people who commit their lives to being wholesome and good to your spouse and family you are an exceptional light to society. Not perfect but a light or are you??

I’m not saying you are perfection because our flaws are what make us human just don’t become cold don’t become numb out of routine, but it will become both if you are just an imitation of someone else’s life. 

It’s been a minute but I’ll be back soon with a thought but out loud ✌🏽

The Idea of Someone

 I say it all the time and it’s honestly so true we are so into this person and then all of a sudden, we just don’t feel like it fits anymore. It's interesting how the chemistry is going great everything seems very seamless with the connection but then it's the reality of things that begin to hold you back.   Maybe you want different things or maybe it’s just the idea of that person sounded goo d.  You know what I mean. We like the way the energy flows, we have conversations with depth but by the fourth date or when you start to think of the relationship evolving. Oh, wait now we have to unveil secret single behavior, or we are trying to fit you in to an  already routine weekly schedule. Uummmm I literally liked the idea of having company or the idea of going out to eat or the idea of kissing somebody’s ear or the idea of ANYTHING you enjoy doing with someone.  But now it has become an attachment that the other p...

When you think you know someone

I say this topic to say when we take time to try our best to get to know someone.  Isn’t  it the worst when they start doing things that let us know we don't know them. I had an old post a few months ago about Secret Single Behavior, this ties into that post and is an in-depth part 2. So, in the beginning you meet, and you love their smile. You love the intelligent conversations, and what about all the things that you have in common that just makes your connection get deeper. But of course what about the things that people never say out loud.  No one you meet says hey how you doing I am extremely insecure about x y z .  No guy who just wants to fuck is going to say hey how are you doing my name is Curtis I just want to have amazing sex with you.  Or better yet it’s great to meet you but I have an unusually weird porn addiction.  That’s right weird shit starts coming out later. Maybe they prefer to sleep alone, or...

The Balance

I am sure you have heard that Balance in your life is so important. Everybody preaches to have balance in your life! Social Life and Work balance. Healthy foods and Junk food balance. Exercise or no exercise balance. Eating at home and eating out balance. Drinking alcohol and not drinking alcohol balance.  I am here today to confirm the importance of balance in your life. But ultimately you can decide if you need balance or if it’s just a bunch of fluff to add some affirmative motivation to your day!   The positive outcomes for creating balance in your life are below!!! 1. Simplifying your life, defining your priorities and decluttering the stuff in your home and life that removes you from truly living life, can give you space, time and freedom.  2. Building balanced relationships. Having people around you that you like, and trust is one of the best indicators of living a long life. If you are sacrificing relationships like these because you're working too hard, you'...
