embrace positivity

 A couple of nights ago, I watched this movie entitled Kajillionaire starring Richard Jenkins and the ravishing Gina Rodriguez on Peacock. The movie had its comedic parts but overall, it is a thought-provoking movie in my opinion. You should watch the movie when you get a chance. Anyways, I'm going to express my feelings towards this movie without hopefully not spoiling the synopsis. There is a mother, daughter and a father who are low level criminals, but the daughter seems aloof from reality, her mind is just set on the low level crimes they do and nothing else until the character played by Gina Rodriguez steps into the low level criminal enterprise. As the daughter played by the ravishing Evan Rachel Wood connects more with Gina Rodriguez's character, the daughter opens up more. A parenting class helped the daughter open up and made her realize her parents didn't love her, they were just having her around as part of the crime team, not as a daughter.       W...

Life is definitely a test, if you want to stand and take the challenge, you can and that's GREAT but if you don't want to take the challenge, you don't have to and from personal experience, I think that's the wrong move because even though we have challenges in life, DON'T GIVE UP ON LIFE, you/we have to go through the obstacle courses. The obstacle courses might be short, they might be long but along the way, you might befriend someone or multiple people to help you figure out how to maneuver through those obstacle courses. Sometimes, you just have to maneuver though obstacle courses by yourself and THAT IS OK, I'm pretty sure maneuvering through those obstacle courses with someone would be special but sometimes IT IS WHAT IT IS, but you/we will get through those obstacle course together via positive energy, positive thinking and positive mantras. Life is a journey too and along that journey, there will be incredible highs and unbearable lows, or we think the l...

 I work in downtown Cleveland and it's no different than any other downtown in a city in regards of the homeless population. Most of the homeless population that I experience around the city of Cleveland ask for money, food and etc., if I have something, I'll give it to them but if I don't have anything they leave me alone. The homeless or the unfortunates around where I work are aggressive verbally. I don't think they mean to, but they are. It's interesting because some days they are really aggressive but the next day, they are so polite. I don't want to assume but my prediction is some of them have mental issues. Sometimes I feel extending grace to them but other times, I have to be firm with them and be slightly aggressive right back. For example, it was an unfortunate individual who wanted food and when an employee of the restaurant said no (in a polite manner), the unfortunate individual said FUCK YOU. The rest of the employees didn't want to have anyt...

 As I see and hear all of the current events in the news, I just ask myself where's the love? This world is a beautiful place, but human beings find ways to fuck it up in negative ways. From domestic disputes to international disputes, it's all hate interactions, not love interactions. Well, I'm pretty sure there are SOME love interactions domestically and internationally but I'm using the word SOME loosely. The two international current events are the Israeli and the Russian war. I don't know a lot about the wars so I'm not going into detail about them, but I am going to still express my opinions.      Firstly, the Israeli war have been going on for centuries but as of late, Palestine have been at war with the holy country. There are pro-Palestine protests on college campuses around the country and if you want to know why, just turn on your local news outlet. People say that they aren't worried about what's going on overseas while kids are dying const...

 As I told you guys, I am trying to be on a positive path dealing with my mental state or if I haven't told you guys, I'm telling you now (lol). Anyways, I am trying to develop this blissful nature journey everyday, but of course non pleasant and rude folks try to tear you down and its DAMN hard to fight them off, but you know what, I'm STILL HERE and I'm not going to let those motherfuckers win. Those motherfuckers crawl under my skin but at the end of the day, they aren't going to win, they think they are winning but in the midst of their thinkable winnings, they are losing because they are lost in the sauce. In other words, they don't have any purpose in their lives. Since they don't have any purpose in their lives, they want to puncture and wound me and their ultimate goal is to beat me down to their level and they want me to feel what they feel which is emptiness but it's not going to happen. I've been through that dark place in my life, and I d...

I want to say as a nation we are doing better than ever in regards of fighting for equality and injustices but that would be a bold face lie. I'm not just talking about the figure heads who are leading equality movements, I'm also talking about ME and YOU, day to day contact with one another. I think we as people need to act cordial or more than cordial to people in social settings .  We definitely made efforts to fight for equality and injustices and I'm not going to discredit those efforts but how many times are we going to overcome? Dr. Reverand Martin Luther King Jr's birthday was last week and his goal was simple, FIGHT FOR EQUALITY and END DISCRIMINATION for all people. Well, if the Reverand was living today, I think he would be very distraught and disturbed at the fact that his work didn't mean a DAMN thing during the Civil Rights Movement. But, I think he would still fight for equality and try to end discrimination until the blood runs out of his body. W...

 I know I'm thirteen days in the New Year but for me and for people near and far for the New Year, I want us to be wholehearted spiritually, emotionally, physically and spiritually. I know that's a large wish because life can be very grand, but life also can be very troublesome . In other words, life can be a roller coaster filled with negatives and positives, ups and downs; negative forces/people trying to tear you down but at the end of the day, I guess we all have to find a way to better ourselves in moments of uncertainty and guide thru life as blissfully as we know how whether that guide is ourselves, a licensed professional. or loved ones. As I'm writing this, I'm thinking to myself that I might just try to focus on myself being wholehearted this year because a lot of people around the globe aren't on the same wavelength as me. As of late, I've been going to therapy and since I'm going to therapy, I would say I want to be on a positive and fruitful ...
