A good friend of mine's favorite saying is "see, what we NOT gone do is!", a statement which is usually followed by a list of various situations that she deems as foolish or monotonous. My response is generally a flail of the legs and a fit of uproarious laughter as I egg her on to talk more and more about what she refuses to partake in. If you know me well, you know that I am the QUEEN of "geeking" people up. I love to hear folks tell it like it is and best of all-- MEAN it. If you know me even better, you probably also know that I have learned to live by the creed of setting standards and actually living by them.
I have become quite comfortable with telling people what "I aint gone do" and mine is rarely followed by a disclaimer. When I tell you that this has been an intensive struggle for me-- assessing my stances, figuring out my personal policies, and last but not least, actually telling folks that I will not partake because "that's beneath me". Hell yes. See, folks will throw you that last bone and expect for you to eagerly run after it. Nah, bruh. I have learned to very frankly and without a hint of rudeness declare that something is not worth my damn time-- sans shift in the eyes and hesitation. The art of growing up (yes, it's an art when done correctly) will teach quite a few things. Namely, becoming satisfied with yourself and your surroundings and understanding the magnitude of ish that you had to pull to get where you are. Understand that whether I'm talking to business icons who have managed to climb corporate ladders complete with glass ceilings, my teachers who wake up tirelessly every morning having to think of yet another activity to keep our bad ass kids at bay (LOL!), or the post man whose only current care is "where the hell that dog at"...is irrelevant. I'm not talking about social statuses. Wherever you are at this very moment, more than likely took precise movements on your part and it's time for you to become possessive and protective about YOU. Have no fear to tell that new job that you are applying for that the pay is simply too low, or tell that woman who you may be pondering a relationship with that she is simply not holding up her end of the deal and that she has to step it up. Whatever it may be, set your standards and most importantly-- STAY THE COURSE.
Keep beasting my friends.
