Food For Thought

Don't exhaust your star player. Always have capable players who can come off the bench if needed. 

Blacks’ Anger At Emmett Till’s Death

 I understand black folks’ frustration at Emmett Till’s death: They feel Carolyn Bryant got to live her life, while Emmett Till’s was tragically cut short. Let’s recap: Karma gave Carolyn Bryant the business: Several personal losses, followed by a poor quality of life leading to her demise in hospice. I’d say she reaped more than she’s sown until she left this earth. She’s gonna do a LONG sentence where she’s going, so…did she really have a good life? No.🤷🏾‍♂️

America: 🛑 STOP Policing Other Countries!

I’m a proud American, but our country has too many issues to police another country. We have no business telling another country how to live when we have our own trouble.🤦🏾 

Emmett Till Accuser Carolyn Bryant Died At 88

Carolyn Bryant didn’t die in peace, know that. Ever since she lied on Emmett Till, her life was toast: She divorced twice, lost one or a couple of her sons, she was a recluse for the remainder of her life. Karma gave her the business. Good or bad, what you plant will return to you. 

Peace Of Mind

Not sure why some people think they’re that important, but I digress. Forgiving someone without speaking doesn’t mean you’re holding a grudge, it means you value peace enough to not engage toxic folks. They’re who they are, always have & will be.

 

Forgive, But Not Favor: Britteny Brown

Repost (Britteny Brown) 

A person can forgive you and still not favor you. Stop thinking you can pick the consequences to your violations. We aren’t holding a grudge. We aren’t mad. No one is dragging the issue. Some of us just aren’t interested in our lives being treated like a never ending reentry program. You did what you did and slept well at night. Don’t interrupt mine when I give you the gift of goodbye and move on. If y’all knew the battles people were fighting, the losses they had to take when no one was looking, the scars they still can’t even talk about, the struggles they go through daily trying to love and accept themselves in this cold world, you’ll better understand why they had to disconnect from your dysfunction to finally thrive. When you love, honor, respect, and appreciate the good ones in your corner, you don’t create a pattern of pain that turns them into a survivor. If you were truly sorry, conviction would have changed your behavior. And as much as it hurts to cut those close connections loose, no matter who a person is to you, it’s critical that you set the expectation that it’s a privilege to be around you. If I don’t feel physically, mentally, spiritually, and emotionally safe, it’s not MY kind of healthy space. You can do YOU anywhere but over here. I don’t have an ounce of hate in my heart but like I told y’all, healing has determined who I’m no longer available for. Offense forgiven. Access denied.

Today’s Word

Some people don't care about you or love you, but they want to stay connected to you because they love the benefits, so they do the minimum: A call or text from time to time. "What's good? Everything straight?" They're trying to maintain that fake connection so they'll have a way in when they need you. When you've caught on to their games & cut them loose, they say you're acting brand new. No, I know how this movie ends. Pay attention or you'll be the star of the show every time and wonder why you keep going through the same foolishness.
