Be You

I'll never understand why some people go out of their way to change into who others want them to be. Maybe it's not for me to understand, especially since I'm comfortable in my own skin.

Stay Or Go?

I've been thinking about the many fathers who have found out their child they've been raising since Day 1 is not theirs, and it's because of the mother's deception. Honestly, I'm torn because he's invested in the child's life from Day 1 and it would crush the child to know the only father (s)he's ever known is no longer around. I can't say I fault any man who chooses to leave upon finding out he's not the father, but at the same time, think of the child's feelings. For me, if I've invested in a child's life from Day 1 only to find out I'm not the bio father, I'd continue taking care of the child for several reasons: 1. I've become attached to the child since I've been there for him/her since Day 1. 2. The bio dad is nowhere to be found, so he can stay gone. 3. I couldn't risk hurting the child by leaving even though I would have every right to because I'm not the bio father.

I commend the men who choose to stay in the child(ren)'s life even though they're not the biological father. Doing that is the epitome of selflessness.

Food For Thought

If God's the center of your marriage, but you find yourself contemplating divorce, something's wrong. I hear couples who have fought and fussed, and they stayed together and worked it out. My thing is, if God was the center of a marriage, divorce should've never became a thought.

Strawberry Letter: He Wants Me But Not The Children

If he wanted her, but not the children, maybe he shouldn't have agreed to be the father of her kids. Let's be honest, she was a package deal when they first met, and now he's in his feelings because he can't have her without the children? Be for real. This man must be high because any parent knows that parenting is a life-long job. Even though kids turn into adults, they'll always need their parents in some fashion, whether it's for advice or help with the grandkids. He signed up for this, this is the choice he made so he needs to man up. If he feels this way about the children, how was he feeling while raising them? The answer is obvious: She may have to spend her golden years alone because the husband doesn't want anything to do with the children because "he's done." No, a parent is done raising children when they go to the grave.

Mice To Rat

You can never trust rats because you don't know where their loyalties lie. If a rat can throw you under the bus to save themselves, that's what they'll do.

I Like That

I've heard this song on the radio for quite sometime and it's got a catchy beat, so I decided to showcase it.

Being Woke Requires You Sleeping

Everyone who is now woke wasn't always woke; If they're honest, they'll admit they were sleep before their eyes were opened.

Amen! In order to be woke, you had to be sleep. https://t.co/cVTjHBmaQu
