Understanding Life... From All Perspectives (Judgments)

"What I need from you is understanding, how can we communicate if you don't hear what I'm saying" (Escape, 1993).

I believe that in life there are many perspecitves, yet one's perspective somehow is always different than anothers. In life we are raised to believe the teachings of our God and his ministers, the moral of our parents (or a single parent for some), and the instructions of our teachers.

I was once told, "to judge is to be judged" (Anonymous) and that is why I'm writing this today.

You don't know me!

You don't know the trials and tribulations faced in my years of living. There isn't one person that understands the pain and suffering that I've faced as a young child and even as a young adult. Your perspective of life has no simularities to the perspective of life I've endured. So to look at me and my family and see what we've done or not done; what we've got or don't got; what we're going through and not going through and pass a perspective, or what I like to rephrase as a judgment, sheds no barriers on how I will continue to live my life.

Every year I grow. Every year I am shaped. Every year I will do something different that I probably would never of thought of or admit to do. For example, "I walk like this cause I can back it up. I got a big ego!" (Beyonce, 2008). A few years ago I probably wouldn't ever dare to say something so bold, but because I am finding myself and because I know my worth in this world I have no fears, I have no reservations, and I have no regrets for the way I live my life in this imperfect and sinful world. I will be judged, but not by you. I will repay for the mistakes I've made, but no payment will ever go to you. I will repent and ask for forgiveness, but you my friend will never hear it.

This me!! And I'm finally happy with me. I am happy to walk the streets with my beautiful mixed hair bouncing as I take every strong and determined step towards greatness. To have my head up high, and a smile on my face cause at the end of each day I know that "I" respect your life so I have no fears if you don't respect mine!



Keep it pimping!

Destined for Greatness!!
