I got something to say and tbh idgaf who actually reads it. If you hate what I’m about to say then unfollow me. If you fuck with it- live by it.
Growing up I wasn’t taught anything but stay in school & get good grades. Go to college to do better for yourself. Last, I was taught how to survive in North Philly. I didn’t have any other tools bc NO ONE IN MY ENVIRONMENT HAD TOOLS TO LEND/PASS DOWN TO ME!
No one could actually show me how to be a man of the world! They could show me how to be a man in the hood. But not a man of the world. I had a lot of fuckin baggage! Low ass self esteem. Battled depression as a kid! Mad anxiety! To the point I couldn’t control my nerves.
I had a major stuttering problem! Legit couldn’t say a fucking sentence in middle school then again in HS. Started in 7th grade and went all the way through till the end of 11th grade. That’s a lot on the human brain. I FINALLY FOUND THE ANSWERS.
I was 19 years old and found the answers on how to be the best possible me. How to become a MAN OF THE WORLD! How to start RELEASING THE BAGGAGE!! I soaked all that shit in and I HAVE NEVER LOOKED BACK SINCE!! I grew up in the slums! Ground zero of drugs and gun violence.
You wouldn’t know that if you knew me in person or even just followed me on social media. I washed all (most) of that shit off me. I PUT IN THE WORK!!! NO ONE DID IT FOR ME! NO ONE CODDLED ME AND TRIED TO KEEP PAIN AWAY FROM ME!! TOUGH LOVE IF I HAD LOVE SINCE A KID!!
If you’re an adult and you complain and cry about something but don’t want to put the work in to change it especially if it’s simple shit! NOTICE I DIDNT SAY “EASY” I said simple!! If you can’t change the simple shit then I can’t fuck with you. Don’t complain to me then.
LIFE DOESNT STOP!!! I REPEAT- LIFE DOES NOT FUCKING STOP. The world may be on pause. The world may have stopped. But LIFE DOES NOT FUCKING STOP!!! So you can relate this to not doing anything during this time or you can relate it to your personal life! IT DOESNT STOP.
HANDLE YOUR SHIT IF YOURE OUT HERE COMPLAINING TO EVERYONE ELSE ABOUT YOUR SHIT! If you’re not willing to handle it then shut the fuck up when you’re talking to me bc I don’t have the fucking time or energy. I am so understanding and open minded in general.
Easy person to talk to but when it comes to that, I can’t fucking deal. Yes protect your mental. Protecting your mental also does have to do with HANDLING YOUR SHIT. IT ALSO HAS TO DO WITH PUTTING THE WORK IN. Not just crying and licking your wounds!
You want a strong mental!? Or you want a weak one the rest of your life!!??? So work on that shit now! Work on your self esteem now!! Idgaf what anyone thinks about what I’m tweeting now bc no one was there when I was kid and teenager going through hell on earth.
I felt worthless. I didn’t have love. I didn’t have caring in my life. I felt like a piece of shit bc no one fucking put in the time. I had bad anxiety. Low self esteem. Couldn’t utter a fuckin sentence. I was ashamed of myself. I grew myself from seed to a rose in the dark.
Y’all can do it too. I hope y’all do it too. Fuck that- I PRAY YALL DO IT TOO! There’s so much to my story that I don’t share. But at the end of the day- THIS IS THE TRUEST SHIT YALL GONNA HEAR! THE PAST IS DONE WITH!! WHAT ARE YOU WILLING TO DO RIGHT THIS FUCKIN SECOND!?!?
THATS THE QUESTION!! LIFE KEEPS GOING EVEN DURING THIS TIME WHEN THE WORLD HAS STOPPED. ALSO NO ONE CARES ABOUT WHAT YOU BEEN THROUGH EVEN IF THEY SAY THEY DO..... IF THEY DO ACTUALLY CARE NO ONE CAN NOR SHOULD CARE MORE THAN YOU AND THAT ALONE SHOULD BE ENOUGH FOR YOU TO ACT!
That’s all I have to say. I had to vent that shit out. GOD BLESS YALL. This was from the heart if nothing else.
