Times a wastin’..

Tik tok, tik tok, time waits for no man! It’s time to get going on that thing you want to do. That life you want to live, that business you want to start. That hobby you want to pick up… Now is the time! Despite all of the incidences occurring in our world today, it is imperative, now more than ever, to love the life that you truly want to live. So many people are so afraid of taking the leap of faith on things because they have been consumers of the negative thoughts and responses from loved ones. Those negative thoughts crowd the space inside the mind and the more that you think of it, the more you believe it. The Bible says that whatsoever a man thinks, so is he. (PROVERBS 23:7)
So I encourage you, whoever is reading this, that if you have been bombarded by negativity on a daily basis and you feel like you are starting to have a feeling of being muted in any capacity, DO IT ANYWAY. Do it anyway. Many people are influenced or motivated by certain things and so it may be easier for them to have the motivation to push through hard times and negative thoughts and emotions but what about the ones who don’t have any motivation. The ones that feel like they don’t have a reason to get up in the morning. What about those people? Well, my advice would be to you: Every idea or concept that you have a desire to pursue and achieve, keep it to yourself. Do not let people in on your ideas and here’s the reason why. Nobody is inside of your brain but YOU. There are some outrageous ideas that are floating through your minds on a daily basis and people just won’t be able to grasp the magnitude of this idea that was obviously given to you from God, unless he aligns people in your life that are like minded but if that was the case, you wouldn’t be feeling the way you’re currently feeling because surrounding yourself with like minded individuals. Get together with people that think like you and are into similar things. That is only going to attract more people into your life that are in the same vibration as you. You won’t be able to really tap into that gift or concept unless you decide to take that chance on yourself. Love yourself enough to give you a chance to be the very best version of yourself. Love and treat yourself like you would want someone to treat you and you will end up having a multitude of people in your life that won’t pour negativity onto your ideas when you do feel that you have to share them. People should be cheering you on and fully supporting your decision to join that band or finally try doing stand-up comedy at an open mic. You just never know and time is ticking faster than it ever has, it seems. Don’t stay in that relationship that’s making you miserable. Quit that job that’s not getting you anywhere and find a job in the field of what you really have a desire for and work there instead. Be committed, be courageous and trust that whatever it is that you have been praying for, WILL COME TO PASS! I guarantee it, or else my God is a liar and that couldn’t be further from the truth.
I really pray for my black brothers and sisters today all over the world that has been effected by the police brutality killings of young African American brothers and sisters who deserve to live and not die. I pray for healing for those that have been wounded and scarred. I pray for sunshine for those who have felt like they have been under the clouds and in the midst of storms lately. I pray for the educators, the first responders and essential workers who have had to endure catastrophic experiences that I am sure will last with them a lifetime. I pray for parents who have to explain to their young children exactly what’s going on. I pray for single mothers having to hold down households by themselves. I pray for single fathers having to do the same exact thing. I pray for change. I pray for a renewal of the governments minds that they are led to do the right thing by the people who pay their salaries. I pray for police officers who are honest and upright citizens. May you have the courage to speak out against your racist counterparts, not with hate, but with love. I pray for anyone who still has hate for black people. If you are of hate, then You are an enemy of Love and and enemy of my God. I pray the worst for them. I pray for every family that had to go through having their loved ones taken away from them. Amen.

I am a firm believer that time is your inventory. Where you spend the most time is where you will excel the best. Just make sure that you enjoy doing if it, so much in fact, that you would do it for free. Until next tine, Believe in yourself, to God be the Glory, the devil is a liar. Much Love

Just some thoughts…

I feel like I’m supposed to have words but I don’t. I have hate in my heart. I have fear for my life. Fear for my son’s life. I wish I could comfort those who need it but I’m empty. I’m just tired. Beyond exhausted. Undoubtedly distracted. I just want to delete everything but I can’t. I can’t NOT say anything.. cant NOT feel anything...what am I even supposed to do? I’m hurt today. Been hurt all week. People who you think are your friends are just familiar strangers. I gotta wear a damn mask everywhere...watching my back every turn in this environment. Don’t know who’s on my side or who isn’t. Don’t know Who understands and who doesn’t. People I have checked on when they were down don’t reach out. People who I have helped have shut me out but here I stand anyway...living and growing and learning every single step of the way. It’s just really frustrating and I just don’t want to talk but I would be just like the others who continue to bite their tongue on the injustice. Telling me to “Protest the right way” like they know what the fuck my life entails. Every day it’s a fight. I have to fight my environment. I have to fight doors being slammed in my face because of my skin. Fitness who know you need help and refuse, it’s a fight. A real fight. A fight for respect. A fight for love. Fight after fight after fight and I’m tired. I pray that this season makes you strong. I pray that you learn to accept the skin you’re in and love yourself no matter what. For all of my non-black friends who may not know how to convey their feelings in regards to the challenges we have to face, a text is more than enough. Your phone calls are more than enough and I pray that you gain wisdom wand understanding during this unprecedented time.

This is a very pivotal time in history for our nation. For our country and for black people all over the world who have been pushed down, day after day after day. Who have been murdered in cold blood by a force that you would is actually here to “Protect and serve.” It’s been a systematic oppression at every turn since slaves won their freedom. And all of us by generations and generations of suffering we’ve had to go through and here we are, at this very moment, still fighting for our lives on a daily basis. It is sad. I am angry and it has been very difficult consuming all of this information and all of the videos and pictures and commentary and people crying on their social media platforms crying out for freedom. Crying out to be heard. Crying out to not be a target or shooting practice for that matter. Why are we the hunted? Still? After all these years. After being ripped from our children and packed and shipped like useless cargo. Why us? Why US? Why??? Why do I have to be trained to love in fear of another man because of the color of my skin? Why does my son have to be afraid to go outside and play with his friends? Why do we have to be he’s down and be left out of conversations and political seats and corporate positions of power? Why? I just want to pursue my passions and raise my children in a place where they will not be judged for the color of their skin. And neither am I. Why is that so much to ask for?

I am trying really hard to not be emotional but to have a greater sense of logic on how to navigate through all of the road blocks being a black man in America may entail. It consumes a lot of my thought process. And I’m still trying to put it all together while in quarantine at that. Still trying not to be taken out by some random virus and the police at the same damn time…imagine that. Stay Black. Much Love Love

I don’t know…

I got writers block today. I have no idea what I want to talk about. All I know is that I have to say something because, well…I just feel that I have to. I know, it’s not a complicated throng but when you take a look into my mind, there’s definitely come complicating things going on in there. But for the most part, I am really enjoying where my life is taking me. I thank God for the wins and the “Losses” because they all work together for my self- development. I just try to stay focused on the things I’m working on and sometimes, it can be a little daunting but I love my life and where I’m at mentally, emotionally and spiritually.
it seems like every day there’s another hashtag of another name of a black man being murdered by police and I’m conflicted this morning. I can’t even lie. I don’t know wether to be angry or not, rebellious or not, tweet or not. I have no idea at this point. It’s like, what is the objective of it all? How long are we going to have this problem here in America? How are we supposed to live our lives freely without having to worry if this jog in about to take this morning, will be the very last jog I take? How am I supposed to trust that my son won’t experience racism at his school? Or get pulled over by police while hanging out with his friends? What am I supposed to do here as a black man, as a father of a black man, what am I supposed to do? How do we even stop this? Is there even a solution? What is it going to take for us to not feel like we are the hunted? What is it going to take to stand up for our brothers and sisters who are being pretty much assassinated by individuals who hate us? How am I supposed to deal with all of this? I’m just so hurt, and so confused and so frustrated that these killings are happening what seems to be an an accelerated pace.

my prayers and condolences to the many black brothers and sisters killed by the hands of the police. The ones who’s lives were cut short. And to the ones whose names never make it to even become a hashtag to begin with. My prayers are with you and I really hope we can slow this thing down. I really do pray for that. Much Love -Jermy
