Loving Another's Child As Your Own

 I think an award should be given for stepfathers & stepmothers who take on another person's children as their own. It takes a special person to step in where the biological parent(s) failed. I'm referring to biological parents who don't care enough about their biological child(ren) to be in their lives, either because of a bitter baby mother or because that parent chooses not to take care of the seed they created. The child didn't ask to be born to the parents it has, but if a child needs proper guidance, there should be a responsible adult willing to show them the way. I respect all the stepparents who love other children as their own because if it wasn't for them, that child would be headed for destruction. Uncles, stepparents, mentors, anyone involved in making a difference in a child's life, I salute you. Should the biological parent(s) wise up and want to be in their child(ren)'s lives, that child doesn't know them. That child remembers who showed them the way, and it wasn't their biological parents. By the time a child grows up, what could their biological parent(s) teach them that they haven't learned on their own (with proper guidance)? Nothing...except what NOT to do.

Public Service Announcement: I Love You, But I Didn't See You

Family doesn't have the same meaning it used to, and let me explain why: When a loved one is disabled, it's the immediate family that's affected because they have to alter their lives to care for their disabled loved one. When the person was healthy, they were the ones who went to see their family, but when that loved one is down, that loved one can't get any of their extended family to see about them. When the person dies, here come the fake tears about how (s)he was loved and so on. "I miss you, R.I.P., gone but never forgotten" Y'all know the fake tears shed at funerals. I'm over it. The only ones with the right to grieve are the Day 1's, those who stood by the sick loved one until (s)he took that final breath. Everyone else with the fake love, choke on it. If you weren't there for that person through their disability until they passed, you have no right to grieve.

Treat People Accordingly

If I haven't been through anything with you or known you since childhood, I can't call you my friend. How you gonna call somebody your friend 5 minutes after meeting them? 

Money Makes Some People Stupid

 

A fool & his money will soon part. In my eyes, that means if you're stupid with your finances, you'll lose money faster than you would have if you were disciplined. This rapper Lil Uzi Vert got a $24 million forehead diamond. What was the logic behind that? It's none of my business, but I'm saying it looks stupid. He's not the first, won't be the last to be stupid with money. I see what some people are saying with the quote "Money reveals who you were all along" because when some people come into large sums of wealth, they go buck wild & start balling out of control. When they were broke, they couldn't do what they wanted financially, but now that they have all this money, they go crazy. That's why I say, some people don't deserve money because they don't know what to do with it.

Random Thoughts

 What's On My Mind?

When COVID-19 first hit, people who had loved ones in ALFs couldn't see their loved ones, and I felt bad for the residents because I know they felt abandoned. Nursing home/ALF staff can't spend quality time with the patients like I'm sure they want to because there's too many patients to tend to. Even though the pandemic is still going on, ALF/nursing homes are able to receive visitors with precautionary measures. That has to make the residents feel good when their loved ones pull up on them.

Blessing=Jealousy

 

Facts. God will bless his children whether people like it or not. For those who don't want to see you blessed, what power do they have to stop your blessing? I'll wait. At the same time, those who don't to see you blessed may see you as flaunting your blessing, which makes sense because some people aren't humble enough to appreciate their blessing.
