Robin Thicke. That's what I'm listening to. The Neptunes' version of Justin Timberlake. Or at least I like to think so. But really he's a whole different artist with a knack for a different type of Genre. Okay... Enough music talk. I update this blog daily to vent. And today I really don't have much to say besides life is short. Relationships take work. No I'm not necessarily speaking of significant others or boyfriend/girlfriend relationships, but relationships in general are hard work. Sometimes you think that just because you love somebody that your "relationship" is going to work. Some folks don't want to put in the time, energy and effort it takes to make a friendship work. Men are from Mars and Women are from Venus. And to expect a man and a woman to be in a friendship without sparks flying in every possible direction, well that's a bit unrealistic. But what I do know is that love is love and respect should be respect. And most of us sometimes lose sight of one of those things when we deal with a person for so long. We tend to hurt the people we love, you know why? Because it's easier to. When in reality we should be bringing a person up, not bringing them down.

We are all guilty of hurting someone we love. Whether it be a friend, a husband, a wife, a girlfriend, a boyfriend, a mother, a father, a brother, a sister, a cousin, a child... We all hurt somebody we are close to. But realizing that you are wrong is the beginning to rebuilding any friendship/relationship. Yes I was wrong. And now we need to move on. Hopefully, you agree.

I didn't listen to anything today. Just wasn't in the mood to hear any music. Therefore, my rant today is about something on my mind...

When you were little I know your parents or your grandparents told you to be careful of what you ask for. Now that's a cliche phrase, but it's one of those phrases that is oh so true. See sometimes we think we really want something, but then when we get it, it's nothing like we asked for. But... You got what you asked for, so you don't have the right to complain. At least that's what my folks always told me. I don't wish bad upon nobody. That's because GOD takes care of people far better then I can. So I move on and while I may wish that person the best, I have no control of what GOD has in store for that person. All I can do is live my life to the best of my ability. See I don't hate. That's because hating takes far too much energy. I'd rather kill somebody with kindness. Some people don't understand my approach. But I feel like "Hey I'm gonna be just fine". I don't need to hate you to make myself feel better. In the end I will prosper. And that's the only thing that counts.

In the past few years a lot has changed about me. My hair grew longer. I gained some weight, but in the end, I'm still the kind hearted person I've always been. Maybe a little too kind... But it's all good... Just another lesson learned.
