You know what I’m sayin?
Don’t put your trust in man. Man is going to let you down every time. The moment you stop looking for things in other people to complete you, is the moment you will become truly free. You see, the thing about me is that I do not look to others, that which I can find in myself. I used to be at a point where I would find myself displaying needy behavior because I was Looking for love in all the wrong places. The true love I had to find was a true love for myself. If my cup is not full, how could I pour into anybody else? Who could I bless if I don’t love myself. In the scriptures it says that for Hod so loved the WORLD that he gave the only thing he had one of: His son, Jesus. But what it doesn’t mention is the amount of love that has to be filled inside of God, that he has blessed us with the very planet we were put in? How could we not be so filled with love? How could you possibly love someone before you can first learn to love yourself?
I oftentimes think about all of the moments where I could have made better decisions if I had more love for myself. It’s not a regretful thought or feeling, but it’s more of a refresher that I cannot give to people, more than what I think of or give of myself. I encourage you to make the decision to love yourself a little more today. Be kind to yourself. Don’t let others hold your happiness hostage. Don’t depend on someone else to make you feel like you have some self-worth. Always believe in yourself and watch how things start to change in your life.
Bet on yourself. Trust and believe in the gifts that you have and your abilities to create a life of abundant happiness for yourself. Much Love ❤️ -Jermy
RIP ANDRE HARRELL.
To one of the most iconic figures in music, responsible for curating the soundtrack to my teenage years, Mr. Andre Harrell. I had the opportunity to meet him once, on the set of “State of the Culture” with Joe Budden. I was there visiting Joe and he just so happened to be there that day. I was in awe when I saw him because I couldn’t believe I was that close lol but, I also noticed he was walking on a cane. Don’t know if that was any indicator of his health, but it was still cool to at least say “Hello Mr. Harrell” and him reply, “Hey, how are you?” And shake my hand. Man, it’s been a rough year with deaths so far and with this pandemic hitting us hard in the process, it’s been real tough to experience so much death to people that mean something to you on some level.
Rest In Peace to all of the loved ones that were lost this year from Covid and just leaving the earth, period. Some people can’t even bury their family members tight now. People are even having ‘Zoom’ funerals. It’s just a weird time to be alive in this world with so many things going on. Just keep praying you guys and love one another. Cherish the moments that you share with the individuals that you encounter and always count your blessings. Once again, Rest In Peace to Andre, Kobe, GG, Fred Da godson and so many others… let’s keep their families in prayer, together. Much Love ❤️ -Jermy
