From that to this really is such a blessing. In these pictures I actually look alive, and I look like myself. In these pictures I’m happy, healthy, and secure. God is good. 🙏🏾💜
I asked male friends this week if they’d allow their male friends to pick up their daughter (regardless of age) from school.
Not one said yes. They all came up with a variation of safety measures.
I didn’t need to ask women.
Yet no one knows a man but it’s always a man…
Hate getting reminders that my family is fractured and never got to take pictures during my childhood because everyone was strung out, worked 60 hours a week, or was too busy to come around. I don’t have much to reflect upon my childhood and that shit hurts more than you know
Meet my tenant Ms. Gloria.
When I bought my building, her rent was $1100, no lease and worried I’d raise it to $2000+ to the market rate.
Instead, I raised it to $1450.
Today, she’s moving to Cali to be with family. I’m happy she’s leaving by choice and I didn’t displace her.
My birthday is in two days and alllll I want is for somebody to send me like $20. That’s all I need, that’s it, that’s all. Thanks for coming to my Ted Talk. Also, I’ll be 29. What the fuck is happening dawg when did I get so old 😭😭😭😭
Trauma in my heart, I’m still paying for this shit. I done really lost my real mans in this shit. I already lost my lil brudda to this shit. Everytime I’m talkin to my mom it get WICKED. PTSD, I gotta smoke just to kick it. Praying I don’t crash
The type of demons I have in my head and heart, can’t nobody understand that shit. NOBODY was there when I was LOST in them trenches nigga I can count on ONE HAND the niggas who never gave up on me. Used to dance with the devil on a daily basis, you could never understand
Woke out of my sleep this morning in cold sweats, having a nightmare about fighting like 6 gun charges and being locked down. I wish I could say shit doesn’t haunt me, but it does
