Work For A Cause and Not Applause...

When I began my initial blog, it was about seven years ago. The original concept was about life style, beauty and fashion. But then it hit me, all people do is talk about themselves; what extravagant lifestyle they live, how perfect their lives are and what level of class they aspire to be on. So I changed the premise of my blog wanting to focus on relationships and our daily interactions in life. Of course I can't recall the title, but I never really stuck with it. Life's distractions and  me being busy as all get out prevents me being consistent with anything. The one thing I am is a procrastinator and a commitment phob! As a teenager I've always loved to write and even now as an adult, writing is therapeutic for me. Writing is a talent you have to develop and is not about bragging rights. People write about a lot of facetious crap. Honestly, if I'm not influencing anyone's life in a positive way, then there's nothing to write about.

Which is why I can go days without posting or sit down to post and wind up saving it as a draft. That's what real writers and entertainers do and why some of their greatest work to date is discovered upon their death. Such as in the case of  unreleased work by some of our greatest stars in the entertainment industry. Anyway, what I'm trying to say is, I don't do this for recognition, I don't do this for praise, I do it for people who have things on their minds they are afraid to verbalize. I'm not trying to impress anyone or be seen. Again, writing is a passion I've had since I was thirteen years old, writing in a diary and reading Jackie Collins novels. I have always been a reader, writer and a dreamer with one vivid imagination. So when I say I'm not looking for attention, believe me I'm not. Sometimes I feel people do things because they have insecurities within themselves and have to  find something or someone to compare themselves to. Having a mind of your own is one thing, but not being swayed from the beliefs, morals and values you were brought up with is stellar. Just because the masses are doing something, doesn't mean you have to follow the masses. The greatest trick the devil ever pulled was convincing the world he didn't exist, and like that...HE WAS GONE!!! This is why I have my own mind, my own views and I will ALWAYS remain FAITHFUL TO MY TRUTHS and WILL NEVER ACCEPT THINGS OF THE WORLD. Our time here is too short to COMPROMISE with EVIL and PRIDE, which is why I ALWAYS WANT TO LIVE A HUMBLE LIFE!!!

My attitude can be real brash and I have a hard time with people who put on "airs' or think they have one up on you for whatever reason. It is because of this, I've taken a true insouciant attitude towards certain people and whether they speak or not, I love them, but "PRESSED" is one thing I am not...TRUST! Education has a tendency to send an illusion of elitism and make people think they have one up on people with out a college degree. The way I see it is you may have degrees, but a shit load of mountainous debt as an accoutrement to your "degrees!" Who needs it? Oh and by the way, you will be paying them loans back until you die or hit the lottery...which ever comes first. So putting on pompous airs are a waste of time, trust me and some of the richest people to date, never finish college! If it ain't one thang it's another with people and most us always feel we have to out shine or out do each other. Especially women. We have some personal inbred insecurities and need to seriously look inward, and search our souls. There's so much cynicism and competition among women...everything is a competition of some magnitude. If we see another woman in our peer group making strides, why do we feel the need to discredit them inadvertently? Are you thinking of a way to show a person up by superseding what they do? Who are you proving your skills to, especially if you don't run in similar circles? Therefore, it must be an insecurity within yourself you need to address.

I like to expose my flaws and for the most part, I am an open book; pulling no punches and telling no lies. Zanee' is Zanee' and I don't do airs and I hate FAKE!  Let me say a lot of people have a false sense of HIGH GRANDUER and think they are the cat's pajama's. Let me say, you are sadly mistaken and humility needs to become a HUGE part of renovation in your life. I don't care what you have or had, always remember, over confidence leaves room for a fall. I've seen the most down to earth people grow obnoxious when God bestows a small blessing in their lives and when you become to "HIGH" for your own self; he snatches the rug right from under you! Welcome back to reality kids...did you enjoy thinking you were better than someone for that small amount of time.

I find a lot of women do this too, especially when they are getting married. Does the engagement ring become a pass to think you're better than the next broad? Maybe you've been blessed and not lucky or lucky and not blessed! You've degraded yourself enough, and now your making wedding plans and acting like you're better than people you've cried to when the chips were down...typical chicks! I've been married before, it's no big deal if you don't have TRUE LOVE! You can say you were in love or your ass has been on the shelf so long, you take the first man who asks you to marry and pretend you are SO IN LOVE! No honey, who you wanted didn't choose you and let's talk about your promiscuous romps in the club on the low and one night stands with the wrong dude and now you're a wife or might be one and all of a sudden you're a SAINT?!?! When did this happen? Again a little HUMILITY would've been nice, because God forbid you don't get married or get married and it doesn't work out; who's shoulder will you cry on after you've acted like an ass? Now you need to eat some HUMBLE PIE and crawl back to the clubs and parties and the one night stands. Selling yourself short looking for love in all the wrong places. HUMILITY IS GREAT...TRY IT... IT WORKS! Work for a CAUSE and Not Applause!!!
