i needed to watch this.
won’t lie,
woke up feeling a little defeated.
things are moving slow.
slow and shaky.
life is not being fair.
but,
in between the tears,
i still believe.
i believe something better is out there for me.
this can’t be “it”.
all the bad treatment and the hurt…
was that for nothing?
was i given this talent to write for it to be nowhere?
was i put here on earth to suffer?
there are so many other people who are suffering.
so many people who are living in hell and have everything.
it’s not me.
i don’t think so.
but it’s my mind that will keep me contained.
keep me stagnant.
“you’re not good enough.”
“you will never make it.“
“you will never get a job.“
“you will be doomed.“
it’s that voice.
that is what makes you “not make it”.
i came across these video and it was like coffee for a tired soul..

In the words of Tamar, “I just got my life”. Thanks for this Jamari! I feel empowered!
I know for myself that it seems as if I have been given a bad hand at a card game. I try to stay focus on my task at hand each day. Look like failure is lurking around each corner I turn. I am claiming a better year in 2013. It can only get better. We must remember to vote on Nov. 6th if you haven’t already.
Hang in there. You are talented and intensely intelligent. You have your youth and health. Things always work out. Every morning focus on things you are thankful for. My mother told me there is no bad day when God wakes you and gives you life.
Just what I need Jamari!
you know what they say good things come to those who wait. its the waiting part that kills alot of people inside i think tho. me included. im waiting for that good job like everyone else. im waiting on that good wolf/hybrid like everyone else. im just waiting lol. but i think having faith that good things will come is the most important part and not giving up. what doesnt kill you makes you stronger. nothings easy to come by nowadays and things are going to get harder but good friends good food and video games keep me happy. you just gotta find that think that’ll keep your mind off what you dont have and keep them on what you do. value what you have today because tomorrow isnt promised to anyone.
I know exactly how you feel because I feel this way sometimes. As I always say things will work out in due time. Life is about change and ups and downs and you will get where you want to be.
I don’t know why, but when I first wake up that’s when I’m deep in my thoughts and by the time the afternoon comes I’m fine for some reason, I find that strange.
^i’m the same way about the mornings myself.
life has handed me lemons.
either i can’t afford the ingredients to make the lemonade,
or all the items to make it are all sold out.
i’m completely frustrated,
but i’m still holding on.
trying.
