I was not having the best day
So I called my mom on Facebook messenger
Because I knew I wanted to see her
And she talked me up with filters

Some of us stay with people because we don’t want to abandon them at a low point.
Some of us stay with people because we were with them through such low points and now that their doing better we feel like we earned the prize of their growth that came at the end.
Sometimes when we are the depressed and someone sticks with us we feel like we can’t leave because that person was with you when you were your worst.
But we have to evaluate.
If your growth means you have outgrown the relationship, then it’s okay to leave.
If that person was with you at your lowest but you don’t think they can help you reach your highest then it’s okay to bounce.
Part of growth is being able to recognize what you need, and then taking steps to obtain it.
If a person has reached the end of a relationship , then it’s okay to move on.
Don’t worry about being polite.
Worry about what’s best.
If the new you isn’t 100% here then it’s because the new you should be somewhere else.
If you are trying to think of ways to make something work then your ignoring the ease that will come with the right thing in your near future.
Look at the tortoise and the hare.
That bunny got too comfortable , he held himself back. He kept stopping to look at the flowers, take naps, and do eveything but move forward.
And the tortoise!
He may not have gotten there fast but he made it to his destination right on time.he got their right when he was suppose to. He knew where he needed to go and he didn’t let anyone or thing stop him from moving forward.
Now this could be your partner, your job, your friends, your family, your location, your strongholds.
Whatever is holding you back, leave it.
When you see what you could be
When you see where you could be
Once you know that your potential is endless
Don’t stop
Take yourself to the end.
The world will keep moving forward with or without you. But where do you wanna be ? Still holding onto something at the starting line, or jumping through the valleys of freedom and possibilities at the finish?
Let go
What is meant to be will be.
I’ve been working with the Bearded Ladies Cabaret for the last two months and it’s allowed me to re-come out. Or just accept that I’m accepted everywhere I go. And the people who see me see me, and love me .

jay z and Beyoncé confession tapes .. how they went
Should we change the world
Or
Should we separate and be happy
Should we talk about how jay z manipulated the fuck out of Beyoncé’s career
And how Beyoncé had to suffer because he was right
he treated her like shit but so did her parents and everyone who manipulated her molded her To be Beyoncé
And now Beyoncé is fucking Beyoncé
She has to be Beyoncé
For everyone else
Jay z can’t kill his ego
His ego helped him get what he wanted
He can admit his wrongs
He can grow
But he can’t not be jay z
Jay z is leaving a legacy
The carters are putting roots in America
They are helping to build black America
They know what effect they have
They know what good they can do
They can be people
But these people
Are Beyoncé and Jay Z
And Beyoncé and Jay Z
are people who can change the world
People who can leave ripples
People who’s ripples are starting to make waves
Beyoncé and Jay Z
Have to be Beyoncé and Jay Z
I think they are fulfilling their purpose in life by starting the new mold for black America
They are the beginning of the era
Look at the waves they already made
Lemonade and 4:44
All about acknowledging the pain and expressing that we’re people
It hurts
We hurt
We have feelings
Those feelings are valid
But then we have a choice
What do we do with those feelings ?
Do we get revenge
Do we seek help
Do we suppress and forget
Or do we accept
Do we forgive
Do we choose to try again
What can we do differently with our situation
Well we can use ourselves
Said Beyoncé and Jay Z
And be the people we needed to see
We should break the cycle
We should be real
We should set an example
We should be a strong black family
They said
We should be better
The obamas took office
And the carters prepared to take over
The elections are over
The first family of black America
The Carters
They started a wave.
Beyoncé made being a black women
Iconic
She had people shook when she reminded them she was black
Jay z is out here trying to remold the black man
He told us it was cool to be a real man
A dad
A role model for your family
Your community
Be the strong manly figure your dad tried to make you
Men are also victims of the patriarchy
And Jay z is trying to change that
He has Chris rock
Anthony
Will Smith
All out here trying to own up
To acknowledge their wrongs
And talk about the future
How to have black economies
How to have black joy
How to have a black family
How to love
How to love yourself
Love your blackness
Love love love love love love love love love love love
Black America
It’s coming
It’s basically here
Just follow the leader
Follow our leaders
They were people too
They are people too
We can be a happy thriving community
In the country we were produced in
If we’re here
Let’s take root
Let’s be here
