Just My Thoughts: Why LORD Why?

Photobucket





***WARNING***
I'm pouring out my fucking heart in this post, if you have any words of wisdom or encouragement, don't hesitate to share them. They may be vital to my existence, THANK YOU in advance....


Well you guys, I have been so uninspired lately....

I am experiencing technical difficulties in my life right now.... Relationship-wise, Creatively, Financially, Spiritually (which is most important)




RELATIONSHIP-WISE:

I've stopped chasing after things that are pretty much worthless. I count things as being worthless when I can see clearly that they are going NOWHERE good. Time is important and immeasurable to the naked eye, but it will definitely catch up with you. Nobody knows when it's time to go so you had better make the most of what you have now. People have been a hang-up of mine for a while. Thinking about what people think of me, feel about me, want from me and placing them on the list above myself. NO LONGER. That does nothing but run Marshay into the ground...

Also forsaking those that are most important to my very existence. MY MOTHER for instance has received the brunt of this stick. I beg for forgiveness for that because she could be my best friend, but I won't let her....


CREATIVELY:

I DRAW. Haven't done that in a while. I SING. Working on that, but I need to be more dedicated to that. I WRITE SONGS. Dedication not there fully. I WRITE POETRY. Mind is too cluttered to squeeze out my thoughts. STRUGGLE is the name of my affliction. I DESIGN CLOTHING AND SEW. No time for that, too busy worrying about other things. Can't put a pen to the paper. Can't stroke a key on my blackberry. Can't lift a finger to do my research. Can't thread a damn needle. Creativity snuffed out, blocked out by my thoughts....

I recently experienced a panic attack because I am so stressed out. I was seriously buggin out over a project and over the course of that day, I felt tightness in my chest, my heart started beating faster, I couldn't breath and I started hyper ventilating. I thought I was going to DIE! I was crying throughout this ordeal and I couldn't really talk so that scared me even more. I wanted to go to the hospital, but I was worried about the cost of the motherfuckin ER visit more-so than anything else. Oh yeah and since my mom was pissed off @ me for not seeming to care about her birthday, she waved me the fuck off... Yeah it was bad. Eventually it went away, after I laid down and slept, but I could still feel the pain days later....

I'm coming out of a slight depression. I admit it, a depression. I sleep too much, eat the wrong shit and just feel like ugggggghhh and try to avoid my problems with the wrong substances, but they are STILL THERE. And that is the hard part coming to terms with the fact that they are still there. I think that %95 of people that are depressed don't come to this realization.... I didn't realize this until my mom pointed it out to me like 2wks ago. MY ROOM is even a mess because my mind is cluttered. I wake up every day to MESS and JUNK strewn all about around me. SUFFOCATING me. DROWNING me. It is an accurate depiction of my mind. Bills everywhere, paper everywhere, clothes everywhere. EVERYTHING everywhere!!!!


FINANCIALLY:

ARGGGGHHH where do I start? They say Mo' money, Mo' problems... HA I say NO money a whole lotta problems!!!! My problems with money stem from irresponsibility of my part for knowing better and my parents for letting me do it, but ultimately rest in my lap and on my credit report, phone records, case files etc etc. If I had $10,000 this would be all free and clear, but alas I do not... My JOB situation is not the best, I was pretty much forced to resign from my job making $32,000+ a yr... I know that GOD i using this as a humbling experience for real because I am surviving off of $9.50 and hour, I just can't get my bills PAID. I don't even want to open some of the fuckin letters I get some days man. Mail stacked up 'ye high!!! Craziness.... Car payment due, parents need money, car breaks down, cell phone getting cut off, I don't live like this!!! That damn cell phone is about to be cut theee fuggg off! AHhhhhh this is feeling a lil bit better....


SPIRITUALLY:

"I'M NOT WHERE I WANNA BE, but THANK GOD I'M NOT WHERE I USED TO BE!"

I am thankful for all has brought me through and continually brings me through. *tearing up* I went from having LOW self-esteem to having HIGH self-esteem. From being SUICIDAL to knowing that I have PURPOSE and use for this life I've been so graciously given. There are too many other things to even list.... I'm the child my Mom was told she couldn't have. The one that God knew before I was created. So why would I not go back to the source of my being and acknowledge HIM in my living and breathing, my existence? FOOLISHNESS I tell you.

God would still be good if he didn't do another thing for me ever ever again. I could have been kidnapped, killed, dead and gone just from my IDIOTIC actions. I DRIVE DRUNK and haven't killed myself or anybody else yet? Thank GOD! I have a BIG ASS crack in my windshield that hasn't broken yet and it's -20? Thank GOD! I am breathing still? THANK GOD!! He SENT HIS SON TO DIE FOR ME!?!? THANK GOD times INFINITY! I really have gotten away from what I know to be true and not a lie, and that is GOD. I know with every fiber in my being that GOD loves me even though I do what I know is wrong and that I am 4given!!! I am glad for the presence GOD has in my life, but there definitely needs to be more of him shining through me....

I'll ttyl and give y'all updates on changes, I'm just frustrated and many other things but I feel a lil bit better... PEACE!

All I hear.

Nowadays I see things have changed
So cliche their not at all the same
Yesterday the future was oh so bright
Now there aint no kinda future in sight
I put myself out for you
Held out my hand for u 2 take
I was'nt good enough u refused
The why's are making me insane
Due to miscommunication, misunderstanding on my part
I let my guard down thinking you'd do the same
My mistake, who will foot the bill? My foolish heart
I thought we were above that too mature for childish games
Assumption made an ass outta u and me
Mostly myself, egg all over my face
I wanted you needed you to breath
You say I shouldve known u needed space


I reflect back on the good 'ol days now non exisistent
If you were listening to me now you'd say I'm bitchin
But you're not listening hell you may never know
Nowadays all I hear is you have reached the vmail of and then a dial tone

Pulls my heartstrings....

Photobucket

One thing that tugs at my heart more than anything else in the world is the love that a father has for his children. Nothing in the world surpasses that other than the love that God has for us. I myself am blessed to still have my father in my life and although he does'nt necessarily use eloquent words to describe his love for me I know that it's there. From all the times that I've ever needed him, he does what is within and beyond his capacity to take care and me and provide for me and I love him for that. I get my sense of humor from him, my facial expression, some of my mannerisms. He's the man that I want my husband to be modeled after. He and my mother inspire me to hope for more, want for more, expect more... But, enough about me lol read this letter that President Obama wrote his daughters.....

In the Booth Refleckin: Seasons/Reasons

Photobucket





“People are in your life either for a season, reason or a lifetime….It’s up to you to figure out which it is.”
~BeShayBe


There, if you pay attention closely enough, are seasons in your life just like there are for the environment. Spring where growth occurs, Summer where it's good and things are poppin off, Autumn where you u prepare for the winter by losing what u don't need and storing up what you do, and lastly Winter which should be a reflective hibernating period. These smooth transitions hinge primarily upon what kind of people you allow into your life...

Seasons have various timeframes and are all meant to teach us a lesson or reinforce what we already know to be true. The people that come along most of the time are there to help us evaluate our own character and in many ways reveal things that we may not have known before…

People come into our lives during these different periods, for various reasons but it boils down to categorizing them as either of these 2 things Distracters or Attractors. They either distract you from moving from one season to another by holding you over in Winter too damn long or make u think Summer is the only season there ever is and ever will be.

Or if they are an Attractor they draw you towards what is important which is the inevitable. Change is necessary and constant. These people encourage you to grow and evolve either by their own actions or with encouraging words or deeds. These are the people that you want and need in all seasons of your life, because sometimes we get weary in well doing or get caught up in living life; they remind you of what life is centered around, EVOLUTION…

The flip side of these seasons comes in when you may not even be surrounded by distracters, but you have that 1 nasty little distracter in the bunch. Spring then becomes a time to just frolic about and forget about what you should have reflected upon in the Winter. Winter is a sad, desolate season in which you can't even reflect, because you didn't take the time in the Autumn to store up and get rid of what you didn't need. And Summer can be dry and dull because no growth occurred in Spring due to the fact that your Winter was messed up.

I have been reflecting upon a LOT of things in my life and I KNOW that change is necessary, so I myself am taking inventory of the ppl in my life and seeing what value they add to me or what virtue they take away… I encourage you to do the same!

Put on 4 my city: Mirrorlove Productions, Jeezy Footage

"It's important to rep where you from, because if you don't then who will?"


MIrrorlove prod. x Team invasion midwest x Jeezy from L Carter on Vimeo.

This footage comes from a friend of mine, Playboy Trav aka Travy Baby aka Trav Dave and the list goes on! He and his partner L.C's company Mirrorlove Productions do a lot of different promo's (and much more) at different events around the city and this is one of them for a concert that Jeezy did not too long ago. Sit back and ENJOY!


P.s. Check out their site MIRRORLOVE !!!

Wise Investment.

There comes a time in a relationship, friendship or whatever, to where you must evaluate things. You must take account of the time, money, love or what have you that you have invested into a person. Any wise investor is one that is eventually looking for a return of some sort for their investment. While expecting an equal return is the desired effect, it is unrealistic for that expectation to be excercised upon every transaction or exchange with that person. An exchange of some sort is necessary though. I've come to the point in my relationships with certain people are under audit. Some people give %20 when it comes to me, but fully expect me to give a robust %100 when it comes to them. I call this selfish and self centered. These people are used to getting their way so they expect it from everyone that they encounter.


Given there are times when this will occur, one giving more than another, but it should by no means be standard. I have to let go of these people. So while it may hurt me in a way, I know that eventually it will be all better. I'm better off without that shit in the long run. The one that deserves what I possess in character, love, moneterarily etc; will not even ask. It will continually be reciprocated unconditionally and without hesitation or any anxiety involved.


The question is are you making wise investments?
