Random Concepts

My personal thoughts and concepts.

By Nerissha HuntPublished about 9 hours ago 3 min read

A person should know who they are and what they want to be. But some people don't. Some people are 2-faced. Live is not a VCR, you can’t press rewind.

A person knows who they can depend on. If you haven’t learned that by now, you never will. Some people allow others to influence them while others take the initiative to control their own lives. Never let anyone dictate your life. After all, you have/had parents for a reason.

Some people have both parents living, some have no parents and some have one parent that passed away. When you look on your birth certificate, the names you see on there are the only names responsible for you. Since that other person's name is not on there, then they need to put the shut to the up.

I cant stand a 2-faced person. If you don't like a person, stop talking to them and about them. Most of all, stay away from them.

If you know that you have a great friend, you better do everything in your power to keep them. People tend to change when they find new friends, get married, etc. I understand the bible says forsake father, mother, brother, sister and cling to your husbands and wives. I don’t challenge that. I don’t disrespect it. What I don’t like is when a person gets new. Marriage doesn’t make you perfect. It doesn’t make you right about everything. It just means you stopped living in sin.

God honors marriage, true statement. But people have that bible concept all the way wrong. They think that getting married makes you right. Wrong. Many say God has to be in a marriage to make it right. This is true. But trying to make a person go to church or force religion on them is impossible. You know the person that you married before you read those vows so why try to switch it up now?

For the record, you can meet someone that says that they know God, they are a Christian, etc. They really have you thinking that they are holy ghost filled.....and you marry them. They may become a completely different individual. All of that was just to get you to walk down the aisle, say I do, and now, you are with someone you thought you knew so well.

A lot of us have a constant habit of giving people the benefit of the doubt. Most of the time, its a person that we love and we want them to change. But you can’t change someone.

This person is aware of their actions and the consequences of their actions. Sometimes, you have to leave them alone for them to see that they need to change. It’s hard for a man/woman to leave someone they love even if the person has bad habits (smoking & drinking) to the point where it takes a toll on them.

Some people never think that they do anything wrong. When you say your feelings are hurt, that fuels their ego. Its a joke to them that your feelings are hurt. They can be sarcastic about it or narcissistic. But when you turn the tables, they want to know what your problem is and who you think you are. A simple answer: how does it feel now that the shoe is on the other foot?

Every action does not require a reaction. Life is short and you only get one. Only give time to what’s important and let the rest go. Life is short and you only get one. I’m not uptight and sophisticated by any means. I defend myself when I have to and only when provoked.

But I am so tired of seeing black women in prison for fighting over a no-good man. One of you is doing time in prison for murder, while he is out living his life.

Some black men are in prison for fighting over a no-good woman. One of you is doing time in prison for murder and she is out living her life, probably with a new man.

To end my story, I say this: Be who you are, nothing more, nothing less. Lead your life so you know what to expect.
