What I don't see ( anymore)

I often hear that absence makes the heart grow fonder. That's bullshit. The reality is the quote out of sight, out of mind. 

I can't even count the number of relationships and friendships that seem to have ended the second  I realized I was the one initiating all the communication and I stopped.

I Like It

I remember when you called me weird
We was in math class, third row, I was sitting by you
Right before Mr. Ammond’s class
‘Cause my mom couldn’t afford new Js
Polos, thrift store, thrift clothes that was all I knew
Do you remember?
Uh, I remember when you laughed when I cut my perm off
And you rated me a six
I was like, “Damn.”
But even back then with the tears in my eyes
I always knew I was the shit

Medicine For The Nightmare

About words

I had a dream I was on top of a very tall building. I was nervous because I'm afraid of heights. I didn't want to be there. Behind me, the sun was shining brightly and the sky was blue, but I was being encouraged to walk in the opposite direction, towards  dark cloudy skies. As I approached the edge, voices I recognized, told me to close my eyes and to keep walking. They assured me it was going to be okay, just take a few steps.  And then I lost my balance and I fell backwards over the edge, and as my body raced towards the ground, I heard a friend say their job is to just say words and not be helpful. I was thinking that I didn't need words. Then I heard another familiar voice say "you're fast approaching the 13th floor. The 12th floor. The 9th floor.  We love you. We got you," and then my acceleration towards earth slowed down quickly and like a cat, I was able to stand upright, landing softly on my feet and I was able to walk away.  Then we got in a car. My cat Isaiah was curled up, next to a golden retriever, both asleep  on my blanket in the backseat. Suddenly, we were walking away from the building, and I remember thinking about someone who said their job was just to say words, and I looked up at the building, and it collapsed right in front of me- and I woke up suddenly. Suddenly there was no tall building. It was green grass for miles around, everywhere I looked around me. And the sky was blue and the sun was shining brightly and there were no clouds. Then I woke up suddenly and I saw that my cat Isaiah was curled up, asleep at the foot of my bed. I wrote down everything I could remember about the dream, then I went back to sleep.

Words

You don't have to be a Christian to behave like one. I know lots of atheists and muslims that  behave like Christians, and a few Christians that may say they love Christ, but behave like they never heard His name before.

Medicine For The Nightmare





Have you had your nightmare today? Texas seceded from the Union to form it's own sovereign nation and to do what the other 49 states didn't have the courage to do: to punish people the way they need to be punished. Some sacrifices had to be made. It came with a price. And some regret, but not for the women.

About 'friends'

I don't care to have alot of friends.

Adolf Hitler had millions, but Jesus only had 12

letssaywedoanddont

Instead of my getting excited about having met someone new;

Yes,

I agree we should exchange contact information,

 but instead of me calling you  the next day,

like I would normally do,

and instead of my waiting for a return call that will never come,

If you're not sincere,

let’s both right now,

say we do (but don't),

 so that

when we see each other in the future at a social setting,

it won’t be awkward-

you know,

with me wondering why you haven’t called me back,

and with you wondering how to respond.
