Holding It All Together


 What do you do to maintain your sanity? Walking that fine line between handling day to day business and snapping is more common a practice for me then most know. I have my own releases of stress. I don’t aim my negative and frustrations at others. My issues my problems need not be put to heavily on others. I can talk on my thoughts and feelings but the real brunt of it I willingly hold internally. Maybe a drink, more then likely a hard gym session, writing, etc…..In fact during a time of MASSIVE self reflection and overall introspective thoughts one of the things that gets me through are my people. The steady Blvd folk know how I do with my people. Be it Evita, Bright Eyes, Raven, Jillz, and many more. In truth I need my people cuz I don’t know if Jason alone is really that big a deal. To be allowed to aid in the various movements and progressive plans of these women does so much to keep my inner flame burning. 

What makes a man worth his salt? Is it the ability to provide? Is it finding a wife and forming a family. Is it the establishment of better business? To pull your self up by your own boot straps is a fundamental man point and while so much has advanced in this world some bare essentials still remain. I like to think I’m getting better with age….is that the truth or just a nice sounding excuse I’ve crafted for myself?  Maybe that why I savor all forms of appreciation because truthfully I’m feeling hella unaccomplished right now.

I think that both men and women have these moments of self reflection.. these questions about their life accomplishments.. and if they are heading on the right path in general. Being an avid supporter of someone carries a lot of weight and means much more than folks tend to give themselves credit for. Maybe its our age that stops us in our tracks and makes us compare.. to what society deems as a successful existence. I commend your self reflection and the fact that you are sharing.. ~P

"...truthfully I’m feeling hella unaccomplished right now."

Not to take away from your feelings, but you aren't the only one feeling this way. I feel the same way at times, especially lately it seems to be a constant feeling. My girls feel the same also, we're capable of greatness, but we aren't trying hard enough to get there!

Just have to surround ourselves with positive people who are doing the most with their lives. We need to inspire each other.
