About Me


MyHotComments / HotFreeLayouts
Do not try to figure me out. I’m simple yet complicated. Versatile...yet truly a creature of habit. I have always taken the road less traveled...went against the grain. The journey may be longer and more arduous…yet persevere and be diligent. You will find longevity in your accomplishments and the results will far exceed your expectations. I have many dreams, some I have achieved, and some I am still trying to fulfill. I live my dream everyday as it pertains to my loving family and friends. Being able to share my life with them on a daily basis and the joy it brings no matter what trials or tribulations life brings my way, I know I will still have my family and my best friends. When it comes to my family, I feel like I have lived...I have been blessed with a wonderful family and I cherish all of the moments I spend and will spend in the future with them...I have been blessed! I have accomplished far more than I ever prayed for and ever expected...although I am thankful for the accomplishments and the things I have obtained through those accomplishments...they mean nothing when it comes to the simple things in life...like being able to pick up the phone and call my Mother, my Grandma, or my Daddy...and my little sisters and niece Ebony, Geneva, and Brooklynn...and smile and laugh...or the beauty of a sunny day in spring/summer...or a rainbow and quiet after the storm....those things are priceless...Learn to appreciate and cherish the simple things in life. Work hard, play hard, and work even harder. Know that when you work hard and work a lot, others may perceive it as you being self-absorbed when in all actuality you are overwhelmed. The more you achieve your dreams and goals, you will have less friends and more foes. No matter how much you accomplish in life, always stay grounded -Success does not always equal happiness...and all that glitters is not gold. Do kind things for others, possess a good heart, and never do anything because you want something in return...do it out of the kindness in your heart...Find joy in making others happy or helping others in need...Know that others may take your kindness for a weakness, but when you are “really” strong...you are just picking and choosing your battles. Know that every struggle makes you stronger and when it rains it pours. Don’t throw stones if you live in a glass house. Don’t be a hypocrite. Always keep your enemies close! Learn to decipher Friends vs. Acquaintances. Learn from your mistakes and don't back peddle. If a friendship or relationship ended on a bad note as opposed to being circumstantial...do not get back into the relationship and expect things to change...if things change it is probably temporary...or it is not genuine...be leery of those who change because their back is up against the wall as opposed to changing on their own and at their own will before things hit the fan! I do believe in giving friendships or relationships second chances when they ended due to circumstances. Otherwise forget it. Remember misery ♥s company. Always be the bigger person, don't be tit for tat, do not be revengeful or vindictive if someone has done you wrong, remember two wrongs don't make a right...let nature take its course...what goes around comes around....and often times hits twice as hard. Learn from your mistakes. Never forgive your friends before you forgive your own family for having done something that upset you. Know thine enemy. Beware of wolves in sheep’s clothing...do not let them know that they are wolves or that you know they are wolves...fall back and observe...watch...and listen...keep your enemies close, but don't let them "in". Take time out for yourself. Being alone or doing things alone like dinner or the movies can be refreshing at times. Always strive for perfection. We always have room for improvement. Stop making excuses for your behavior, and as an adult learn to accept some accountability for your actions. Are you going to get the best of life or let life get the best of you, and stop making excuses for others in your life...its a scapegoat to try to justify their behavior. Sometimes excuses are reasons for doing what we really want to do, even if we know it is wrong. Turn a negative situation into a positive situation. Know the difference between fabrication and exaggeration. Be spontaneous...it can be so fun and exhilarating! If you are confident, be prepared for others to mistake that for arrogance. Try to give others the benefit of the doubt as much as possible. Don’t listen to what other people have to say. Never trust how they formulate their opinions or make their assessments and judgments. Go with your own intuition, be an individual, find out for yourself, and trust your own judgment. Don’t miss a blessing...many times people are pessimistic about certain things, opportunities, or certain people. Respect....always respect your mate and expect them to respect you too.... -Pick and choose your battles....everything is not worth arguing over....you have to let some things slide.....especially if the good outweighs the bad...no one is perfect. -Show your man you love him, actions speak louder than words -Ladies remember a weak man preys on weak women, but a strong man respects and cherishes a strong woman. Forgiveness...a word to the wise...Sometimes we forgive but don't forget. I feel like if you forgive then let go of whatever you are forgiving someone for. Don’t be one of those who forgive only because you are plotting the big payback.

She can watch him, as a child, play the games she was not allowed to play; she can invest in him her ideas, aspirations, ambitions, and values -- or whatever she has left of them; she can watch her son, who came from her flesh and whose life was sustained by her work and devotion, embody her in the world. So while the project of raising a boy is fraught with ambivalence and leads inevitably to bitterness, it is the only project that allows a woman to be -- to be through her son, to live through her son..."♥♥Introducing... Prince Eidan Alexander♥♥

That's how close we are.Without the stars, there's no galaxy. And without the river, you have the sea. Just look at my life, and it's him you'll see. Cause that's how close we are. And without a voice no one can hear you sing. And it ain't no flying without the wings. SO WHEN YOU SEE ME FLYING, IT'S HIM CARRYING ME! That's how close we are.He talks with me. He walks with me. He's holding me. And yes, he's teaching me. Everything I can't do, everything I can't say, He does for me. He prays with me. He cries with me. He's ♥ing me. Nothing could compare to the ♥ we share.

If A Man Loves You...Take A Hint...This was written by a man.
