So today was the first time I cried in a long time -- I need to never wait that long before I shed some tears again. People cast such a negative light on crying too, as if all forms of it are associated with depression, tragedy, and all things emo -- which isn't the case at all. Sometimes it's good to let out all those emotions you've been holding in.. you release so much tension through the form of tears -- whether the situation is happy or sad, you can't deny the feeling you get afterward. Relief doesn't begin to describe how I felt after my "moment" today. And this scripture was like icing on the cake...
Psalm 34:17
How comforting is that? Gosh, God is sooo good! No, really He is! Go tell a friend about Him! Lol. And shed a tear today; release some of your bottled stress. You'll be glad you did, I promise :)

For those that don't know, i LOVE to write, i truly feel like it's one of my fortes "callings" in life *side eye* I plan on writing a life story and to get it published sometime in the near future. From my domestic abusive childhood to everyday things that people can relate to - man or woman, my goal is to INSPIRE!
We was vibin for a minute, everything was koo,
First one I hit up before and after skoo,
Built this love while sober, but might as well have been drinkin,
Sober thoughts became drunken words, what was I thinkin?
I told the world about you, and we took the cutest flicks,
Laughed at all the bitter faces of them triflin, jealous chicks,
My heart was tossed overboard, my boat gradually sinkin,
My mind was just so overwhelmed, i had suicidal thinkin,
I brought an end to this madness, the storm had yet to brew,
Lies built our foundation, and they tore them down too,
I became reckless at the mouth, my heart was surely shrinkin,
My brain had also abandoned me, forever altering my thinkin,
To the men who had me, I hope you all have grown,
Amy Winehouse said it best, let the tears dry on their own,
I look to the Heavens, my eyes suddenly start winkin,
I shoulda known all along, to let God do my thinkin.
I'm sure a few of you ladies can relate to this epiphany-driven word that showcases the ups & downs of a relationship, and how stupid you feel after it's all said and done. With heartbreaks and splits surrounding our lives, it's hard to think of love without a negative connotation sometimes. Hopefully this hit home with someone.

It's like tryna buy gas, when u aint got no car,
Pointless right? You'd be wastin yo bread,
For a lack of better words, my body is DEAD,
i'm TIRED yall, i can no longer function,
If i think any harder, i'm due for brain corruption,
Only 4 hrs a night, i lay my head on my sheet,
Get up, go to work, practice, then eat,
Not to mention my classes, throw that in the mix too,
While jugglin' the many other things I need to do,
I know life aint easy, but do it gotta be this hard??
I refuse to show my weakness or let down my guard,
I'm still tryna push, but got no ammunition,
Don't know if i'd still be here, if it wasn't for paid tuition,
I'm wonderin where the hell i stashed away my ambition,
These are the times I take pride in being a Christian,
Without God on my side, who knows where I'd be,
It's like telling a blind man he has no choice but to see,
I feel like I'm being pushed in the same exact spot,
This college gig aint all fun && games like i thought,
Wish my life was a paper, so i could take the pain and rip it,
I've had enough, I've already been pushed BEYOND MY LIMIT!
[and it AINT the business right now]
