so i had an “aha” moment laying in the bed last night.
i was thinking heavy about the #beingmaryjane episode.
it was actually about “the curious” we meet as we navigate in our forests…

i’m getting on my knees tonight.
my boss and liar liar are not in.
when i asked god for a good week ahead,
he definitely came through with this good start.
so i called star fox’s mother to see how she was doing.
i like to check in on her from time to time.
we have gotten pretty closer as the year went on.
we got into a nice convo about the subject:

“giving god complete control of our life”

a subject and way of life i’m not good at.
last week,
i saw a quote from rihanna in the new harper’s bazaar.
it stuck with me.
the question the interviewer asked her was about her being fearless.
she said:

“R: I think I’m like most people—we fear the unknown and the things that have yet to come to pass, which are the very things that don’t deserve to be feared. When you give God complete control, it’s very hard not to be fearless.”

i found that answer so interesting.
i admire her for her attitude.
i’m sure she has issues,
but as you can tell,
she barely ever has fucks to give.
so that lead into the discussion today.
she gave me a link and told me only when i’m ready to say this prayer.
its the “prayer of surrendering”.
i’m ready to do it tonight before bed,
but i wanted to share it with the foxhole who is also ready.
so whenever you are ready to give up control,
this is what you need to say…

when you have a talent,
and people recognize you for it,
that can start to raise your self esteem.
“they like me!
they really really like me!”
once that happens,
you start building the momentum to achieve more.
this is what happens to successful people.
“the a list”.
the d list of folks start believing their own hype.
i have met a ton of “everyone” as i have maneuvered in this game.
from a to z list.
without a doubt the:

reality show instafamers
boasty socialite bloggers
mixtape/ep chitlin circuit contenders
attentionisto/ista instagram irrelevants
new money pineapple and pineapplettes

…have theeeeeeeee nastiest attitudes.
why?
they believing their own hype.
they start throwing shots at everyone,
acting like they are better than you,
and basically losing all their humility because of a tiny bit of fame.
in this new realm of “look at me/i’m the shit”,
where its easy to get attention because you have no talent at all,
i had to wonder…

Why are people falling victim to their own hype?

are we addicted to being mean?…

so its 2015.
a year that has everyone is “new year; new me!”.
whenever any new year rolls around,
everyone wants to start getting rid of baggage.
we mentally start packing the things we created for ourselves.
things we vowed we would stop doing as we put them in an emotional u-haul.

  that ex we are still addicted to
those cakes and cookies that gave us those love handles
 the cigarettes that keep us sane when we are stressed
those random one nighters that leave our holes sore in the morning

the problem for most of us is that somewhere down the line,
we always revert back to unpacking the mess.
we simply put them away without really getting rid of them.
we are like hoarders for bad habits.
since today is the first day of the new year,
i had to wonder…

Are we kidding ourselves with new years resolutions?..
