Inspiration By Saschelle

I have made the mistake that many women tend to make, which is giving up my reality for a man’s sake. That right there is a NO, NO. I did all I could to satisfy his soul. I put myself in situations that did not make me feel whole. I sat there and set aside my wants, just to pursue his needs. All that ever did was come in between my purpose and my desires to succeed. Sometimes at night I would always talk to God, asking him to help me find myself of who I had left behind. I would look at him sleep and cry out to the stars, looking and seeking for some type of freedom away from him and the abuse that had consumed my spirit. Then one night I looked in the mirror, realizing that I deserved better and that I had to make it as a singer. It was at that point that I wiped away my tears from my crying heart. Instead of giving up, I gave my life a new start. I learned to honor my needs by respecting my own space, mind and spirit. I never gave up who I was for anyone. In closing, “sometimes in the midst of all confusion, you have to learn to peek at your own beauty and look beyond who you are to see who you are becoming.”

Frenemies by Karis Soturi

     Water and oil are two entities that will always reject each other; the same law applies to friends and enemies. In spite of logical reasoning it’s still a popular notion that these two things can be blended into one. Truly speaking the science of the mind can be a very complex thing but to replace rational thinking with high sounding nonsense is outlandish and irresponsible!

            It’s stated in the bible that “As iron sharpens iron a friend sharpens a friend (Proverbs 27:5).” Even during the biblical era it was a common understanding that the purpose of friendship is to engineer growth and prosperity within one another. Not to dismantle opportunities that will lead to future happiness so a simple “job well done” won’t have to be sacrificed. Yet, as a member of this postmodern society I witness this corrupted philosophy being practiced time and time again.

            For the time being let’s take in consideration that friends and enemies cannot be one in the same nor can they overlap each other to create a new element. I compare this theory to fire and ice because sooner or later one will consume the other, along with the fact that the relationship will be temporary. Either the alliance will grow into a raging fire or the flames between the persons involved will have to subside. These occurrences will fall into play as if it was a law of reason and true character will be revealed. It’s inevitable that one will eventually override the other.

            In other considerations, my personal perception on this issue is that you’re either for me or against me. It’s impossible to have a relationship with your enemy without seeking some kind of selfish benefit. There is a popular saying that states “keeps your friends close and your enemies closer.” The reasoning for this statement is that there is no better way to learn all your enemies’ weakness than to befriend them. Additionally, take into consideration that your enemies may not come knocking at your door with weapons of mass destruction. With this common level of understanding my question is why expose yourself to someone who may not have your best interest at heart? What profits you from sleeping in the same bed with your advisory? The answer to the previous question is usually more complex when trying to defend your blatant absurdity.

            All in all to befriend someone is to love them. Although love is a very complex all on its own one thing it is not is self-centered. If someone doesn’t have your best interest at heart then it’s time to release them from your day to day agenda. Since, I assume that you want your days to be filled with people who love you.
