Nate Dogg-One More Day

spankpops:

“Now I was about eight when I caught my first case
My mother she turned her back and bowed her head in disgrace
Now I didn’t do a thing, I was just standing by
Here’s a message to the youngsters today: standing by you can die”

bad days are just in your head

ledasoul:

and on your ceilings and floors
and in the sleeves of your oversized sweater
and at the bottom of your teal & white striped mug of tea
and in your bed
and hanging from your left thigh in that sudsy shower
and in your bed
and between the blinks of that clock you plugged back in hours ago but still haven’t set the time on
and in your bed
and in your semi-sweet chocolate skin
and in your bed
and on the ends of your damp, lavender-scented hair
and in your bed
and in your bed
and in your bed

Are My Reactions My Reactions?

Sometimes I feel people react to certain situations because they feel they are suppose to. They see people’s reaction on television or read it in a book and think they must recreate a certain emotion because they may feel it’s appropriate and they don’t want to be judged about how they reacted to a certain situation. Maybe I did it, I’m, pretty sure I did. But now I feel I was only playing a role.

I always feel like people like to recreate songs and music videos. I always wonder if women/men subconsciously fall into bad relationships just to go through hell, cry, act immaturely, fight with their significant other, just to say they did it. Just to say they felt what Mary J. Blige was going through in “Not Gon Cry”. Because to them that’s pain, it’s like saying “hey I’m human, look at me!”

I also wonder if the idea of needing two parents to raise a child was gone would we have children feeling like they weren’t given the life they think they deserve. I hope that makes sense. If all I knew was my father and I wasn’t bombarded with the idea that I SHOULD have been raised with two parents, I think I would be fine. From 14 till now I was mostly raise by my father. And I think the idea of not having my mom in my life affected me more than her actually not being there.

Shit I don’t know. I hope if I do choose to have children I’ll have the ability to raise them to live their own life not some magical idea of how they think their life should be.
