Blessing Or Lesson?

People will fall into two categories: Blessings Or Lessons. If someone is a blessing, they impact your life for the better. They help you be a better (wo)man, they're a shoulder to cry on, support your vision, etc. They want nothing more than to make your life better; it doesn't matter what you do (or don't do) for them. You have people who are lessons, those who you fall out with on bad terms. When the relationship ends, your head is held high because you know they've taught you how NOT to be. I don't think most people know the difference between blessings or lessons, and that gets folks in trouble. You can let the wrong people into your life and be taught a lesson, or you can use discernment to let the right people inside and those people end up being blessings. Most of the time, people know the difference between those people who are blessings and lessons, but there are times where it's not to easy to differentiate because people pretend well. Some people come into your life pretending to be blessings, but they're lessons & vice versa. As long as you use discernment, you'll be able to understand the difference between those you meet as being a blessing or lesson.

Strawberry Letter: Falling For A Friend

After all the action she gave her "friend" and after how close they've gotten, he turns around and proposes to his son’s mother after being diagnosed with cancer. He could have proposed to her, but he didn’t. Why? Her friend is enjoying the sex, and deep down she is too. Like many women, she equated sex with love. He doesn't love her enough to propose, that's why he proposed to someone else. She gives him loving even if he's marrying his son's mother.
If she thinks continuing to sleep with him and give him her body will make him fall in love with her, she needs to wise up. Men don’t equate sex with love; women do. All she's doing is giving him his cake and fork by allowing him to sex her down while sleeping with his fiancee. Good friends don't use each other.
Loving herself is more important than being a side dish. If she wants to remain his “friend” and support him through illness, then do so at a distance. The longer she lays with him, the harder it is for her to see who she really is to him. He may care for her, but doesn't love her. If he loved her or fell in love with her, he would've proven with ACTION. What does that tell her if he proposed to someone else? I'll Wait.

Social Media Unfollowing/Unfriending

 Everyone with a social media account on Twitter likes to meet new people, correct? Right, if they're honest; myself included. I've been on FB since 2006 and Twitter since July 2013. Honestly, I like FB & Twitter and they are the only social media accounts I will ever have. My FB posts feature positive content because I believe we need more positivity in a world full of nonsense. At the same time, I will post real talk whenever it's laid upon my heart. Many of my FB posts have been turned into blogs. I have one question: Why do some people think you're supposed to roll over & die because they unfriended you or unfollowed you on social media? That's crazy. Some folks make this grand announcement of cleaning their friend list, unfollowing someone on Twitter, etc.
If you're going to unfriend someone, just DO IT; no need to make a PSA. I was unfriended by a former FB friend (she's no longer worth mentioning) because I stood firm in my position regarding marriage relationships. All that proved was I can stand firm in my position. Many people are scared to stand by their social media posts because they don't want to lose likes, followers on Twitter or FB friends. Me, not so much. I've never posted for likes or followers. Whatever I post on social media, I'll say the same thing offline. It so happens that people like my FB stats, so I'll keep posting inspiration, positivity and real talk. It's easy to stand by your comments when you're getting FB likes & Twitter followers, but are you tough enough to stand firm in your position when you're unfriended or unfollowed?
Shout out to Denisha Davis (FB friend) for this quote:

Parent(s) In Jail

My heart goes out to all children suffering from one or both parents locked up. They didn't ask for their mom and/or dad to do something that got them locked up. The kids are serving time with their parent(s) in jail, and it's worse when a boy has a father who's locked up, because studies show that a father who's not present in a boy's life has a much harder time in life. I feel mothers should allow their kids to see their dad behind bars, even if she doesn't want to. It's not about her, it's about the children. Sometimes, a mother has to do what's best for her child(ren), even if it makes her uncomfortable.
