Women are out here sharing live locations, checking the backseats of cars, and holding their hands over their drinks. Men are doing 3 hour podcasts about how unfair it is that we don't smile at them. The disconnect is fatal.
Psalm 23:1-3 NLT
The LORD is my shepherd; I have all that I need. He lets me rest in green meadows; he leads me beside peaceful streams. He renews my strength. He guides me along right paths, bringing honor to his name.
Our parents used to beat us for saying Bumboclot as a kid because it was a swear word. Say bumboclot was an easy way to get a busted lip.
Of course I'm going to be annoyed and disturbed that non-Black kids are appropriating Bumboclot while they try a bastardized Jamaican accent and try to brand that as Toronto slang.
Toronto owes everything to West Indians/Jamaicans, Somalis and Ghanaians. We made this culture. The reason the world won't shut up about this place is because of the home we created while White Toronto was criminalizing and dehumanizing us.
I don't know who needs to hear this but start living and enjoying your life. The world is getting crazier by the day and all you do is work, pay bills and overthink things you can't change. Take a trip.
Treat yourself. You deserve it.
God is very intentional. Nothing about your life is random. Not the delays, not the detours, not even the waiting. He knows exactly what He’s doing. Please learn to trust him more this year.
