People with Issues
Since I have graduated from high school, I have noticed some changes in some of the people I went to school with. Some of the people graduated before me, with me, and after me. I understand that after every graduation, every student will go there own separate ways in life. When I see people out and about, and I remember them from when I was growing up I'm going to speak . It's in my blood to speak to people, not to walk around with my head up and think I'm better than people, just because we are out of high school. It's looks like if I role up on some of the people I remember from my younger days, they seem to have a problem with me. They act really rude towards me. They act like the problem they are having since, they been out of high school, are all my fault, or they may think I may have caused some problem while we were in high school, and that is the reason for their problem. I'm going to be real with ya, as a young boy, I had to over come a lot of sickness, and I had to under go a lot of surgies. Therefore, when I was able to return to school, the Ashdown, Junior high school, welcome me back with open arms. Through all my sickness they was able to send all my school work to the hospital, where I was so I wouldn't fall behind. So the teacher's at Ashdown, Junior high school, stayed in contact with the teacher's at Children's Hospital in Little Rock, AR. All they sent was my math and English. I remember asking my mom and the teacher there at Children's Hospital, why don't they send my other subjects like my science and history. My mom told me that math and English was my base subjects. She said I needed them in order to past. So when I return to the seventh grade, the only classes I had to take was my history and science. There was a lot of parents wondering why they didn't throw me in special education, I guess because the number of classes they had me taking, or because alot of my classmates used to help me to my classes because my balance at the time was not good. The teacher's would let me leave class fifteen minutes early, before it was over because they thought I would fall down, while changing classes with other students. From the time I made it back to Junior high school, in the 7th grade up until now in adult life, I have accomplished done a lot in my life. I was shocked that when I made it back to school, to see that alot of the students was not doing to good at all in their school work, or in their everyday life outside school. Some of them got held back in the same grade due to lack of performance in the classroom. In Junior High and high school, there was two students, who brought guns to school. There was a young man who brought drugs to school. Some of the young girls started in the 7th grade getting pregnant. Some girls have a full scholarship, waiting on them when time for graduation, but let a no good as boy say the words I love you. Then the girls will just put her dreams on hold, and forget all about the scholarship. The same thing with the young men. The older generation turns the younger generation to drugs, crime and violence. Other than trying to convince them to further their education. There was a mother who hated the fact that another young lady, was name valentine of her high school class and not her daughter. When this same lady's son was about to graduate, this mother went around town talking about the students, that was not going to be graduating making fun of them. But she didn't say one time about her son was one of the ones that would not be graduating. When this woman daughter, went to college, with the same young lady, who got the Valentine in high school. The mother had no idea that her daughter, was not given it her all. Therefore her daughter was wasting her money that her gave her. Giving her money to men, and letting them use off her mother's shopping card. Then she ended up getting evicted from her apartment. She tried keeping the news from her mother's. She ended up moving in with the young lady, her mother couldn't stand in High chool who was Valentine. The whole time she was a freeloader on Ms.Valentive. Unitl one day Ms. Valentine's, went to her trash can in the kitchen, and found all the job applications, that she had gotten for her friend all ripped up in the trash.

Frustrations In The Life Of A Writer
There are so many wasted hours, that pass so slowly, when the job you do, is not the job you want to do. It steals the day, sometimes even the evening as well. Doing something you hate, diminishes your energy and therefore your dreams.

Here's To You
Here's to those of us who work not one but multiple jobs to make ends meet. We're not mad at it, it's what we have to do to well..... Live. Those of us who work a decent day job, but still have a gig job driving people to their destinations safely or simply deliver our food when we're just too tired or frankly lazy to cook today.

POTENTIAL
Hey guys! I decided to do a blog🖥️✍🏾🖊️ on "Potential" this time because it’s crazy how many of us have this “power” 💪🏾💡(and I say power because it’s something we hardly use that is very useful )that we don’t use and rarely think about sometimes. I do not know about y’all but sometimes I do ask myself do I even have potential? 🧐🤔And how come I don’t see it in myself or use it?🤔🤔🧐 And I’m not going to lie because half the time I’m lazy and don’t want to push myself but in times like these, it’s crazy because I’m using every piece of it.😂😆 Growing up for me, starting in middle school I was told that I have the potential I just have to use it. I always thought it was just something teachers say but it followed me all the way to high school because teachers were saying the same thing there too.😮😲 It was weird, I flew through high school not paying attention to that but kept it close to me all these years.😯😱 I realized my potential, when I realized I wanted to own my own business and the thoughts 💭💭and ideas that popped up where endless. 💲🤝📊🏢

Ain't Nothing Like the Real Thing
Being genuine, true and real is of unbelievable value in this world filled with “fake news”, misleading advertising and outright fraud. It seems to me the world would be a much better place if people stuck to the truth even if it is painful. Think about the impact it would have on relationships; whether at work, school, socially or in the family situations if people could count on each other to be honest and forthright in all of their dealings. Something as simple as the perpetual question of whether or not an outfit “makes me look fat” or “Do you think I’m qualified for this job?” or “What do you think of this piece of art I made?” Being frank may not spare someone’s feelings, but consider perhaps that we have gone too far away from the truth in a misguided attempt to comfort each other or “cushion the blow” of reality. What would really happen if everyone was just honest.

Quitting Nicotine
It all started in 2017, I was outside near the garage and my brother was smoking a cigarette and he exhales and said " Try this, try this you'll love it!" My mind said okay and then I was hooked. My brother and I use to share cigarettes for awhile. A month later, my brother bought me a pack of newport menthol 100s and I hid them in my closet. My mom had no idea what was going on. Until she realized I was going for a lot of walks. When I came back from back from this one last walk, she asked " Why are you going on so many walks?' I nervously told her " Nothing just felt getting some exercise." That was a lie that I needed to cover for awhile. So about like a couple weeks went by she found something suspicious. One day I was out with friends and she went in my room and searched it and saw something. She went straight went into my closet and saw a lighter near my drawer and she looked in a shoe box and there it is, the thing I didn't want her to see and she finally found it. She asked me " So you smoke now just like your brothers?" I replied "Mom, sorry I gave in and and didn't have the power to say no".

Your limitation - It's only your imagination
Creativity involves transforming your ideas, imagination, and dreams into reality. When you’re being creative, you can see the hidden patterns, make connections between things that aren’t normally related, and come up with new ideas.

At the end of the day, everyone has their own struggles, and it is a challenge to overcome those struggles for those of us enduring them.

I’m f you are going to rise above this struggle, and everything else that life throws at you. You need to remember one thing: you are better than this. You are better than this struggle and Now, we are going to have some real talk surrounding what this means.

How I Trusted The Universe And Manifested $30
The quarter story starts way back in 2013 when I received a gift from a good friend who also was gifted this book titled The Secret. Well, one warm sunny Saturday afternoon I decided to start reading the Secret and came to a point in the book that talks about what you think about you attract to yourself like a magnet. So, this gave me an idea to put this thought creates things theory to practice. The book recommended that a find a quiet place where I would not be disturbed, close my eyes and take a few deep breaths then think of something I really wanted but to start with something small. I begin thinking about a quarter 25 cent piece and since it is made of a metallic substance I thought this would speed up the magnetic process of manifesting what I am thinking about. Sitting on the edge of my bed in my bedroom with eyes closed I started to think the word quarter over and over and over and over and over again. Well, that exercise tired me out and I then laid down to take a nap. After about 30 minutes my son who was about eight or nine years old at the time came into my bedroom and said dad there is someone on the phone for you. Coming awake from my 30 - minute nap I went to pick up the phone and the person on the other end asks me if I was available to notarize some documents for her on Sunday because she had to leave town first thing Monday morning and needed my services right away. I told her I normally do not notarize documents on Sundays but I will make an exception for her this time since it was crucial for her to get the documents notarized right away.
