Spirit said read Native Son by Richard Wright. Flipped through the intro and immediately saw why.

Almost halfway through my first Chicago winter and I don't hate it. Now let's see how this back half is going to play out and I might have a different feel about it.

And I think the first post is going to be about this experience being homeless. 8 months of being unemployed, 5 months of being homeless in a city I'm not familiar with. A lot of lessons, healing, revelations, and insights.

I guess I'll be starting a substack thing. I got a lot to post and a lot to write about.

What kills me is when people move to an area and don't learn the culture of the people there. I moved to Chicago in September and the first things I learned was how to dress in the winter, how to catch the L without being bothered, and how to order at Harold's. This should a given!

We all have struggles, but manipulating the trust of your own community is a slight that’s hard to forgive & a choice that hurts those that ACTUALLY need the support.

Laying in the bed thinking about how I don't even pray like I used to. When I realized that a lot of prayer is way too close to begging, if not flat out doing so, I stopped. I just tell the universe what I want or need, knowing that the answer is yes and asé and gone about my business.

Welp, I know my time being homeless/in a shelter is coming to an end soon. Anytime some major regime change or some shift happens, a shift for me happens right after.

The revolution will not be televised, because it's happening right now.

I literally said earlier this might be nastier than self titled.

Having a charitable spirit with discernment can absolutely coexist together

Whew, this reminded me of how bad body dysmorphia whooped my ass in recent years 😮‍💨

This conversation (and others throughout the week) is exactly what I needed when I said I needed masculine energy around me.

Me gusta cuando las limpiadoras hablan en Español y creen que yo no comprendo que hablan sobre. Las mujeres son chismosa sobre alguien mientras limpiando mi dormitorio. 😂

Yup!

Math. Anything past algebra one and you've lost me

Not currently in therapy, but from the past. 1. I'm not the problem. Other's perceptions of me is the problem. It was never that I was too much. They just weren't enough for themselves and made it my problem. 2. Using the emotions wheel when I can't decipher what's wrong or bothering me.

And the horny is back again.

1. I'm mad that I know how much snow that is 😭 2. Sounds like a good reason to stay in the house

Can somebody give me the spark notes version of that apology? Adhd is not allowing me to read all of that.

Same. I been spamming Mike Tyson push-ups

When shit get dicey, I stay icicle. I'm hotter than New Orleans. I make it look easy.

Show me your lock screen

And here I was wondering why there was an extra layer of peace!

the path to rediscovering your true self is a long, winding one... don't give up on it

The way this snow coming down in Chicago is a lot!

I don’t where I’m going, I just trust God and follow the light.

Malibu is a classic in my eyes

That Goldlink went so crazy🔥

Niggas be having the audacity to complain about shit you getting for the free.

Bruh, this is fucking egregious! Going to work or outside in this in general should be illegal! 😭

Introduce yourself with five concerts you've seen: •The Reunion Tour (Kirk Franklin, Yolanda, The Clark Sisters, Fred Hammond) •Isaiah Rashad •Boys II Men •Beyoncé •Lupe Fiasco

I want to laugh at this so badly because there were way too many choices that could've been made here

And when I say crossroads, I mean that literally and figuratively. I'm in a hotel named Crossroads Hotel, at an intersection, near a railroad crossing, with the L train crossing over, and near the airport.

I'm at a crossroads in life right now, and I'm choosing me in all aspects.
