Be True To You..........

 "TO THINE OWN SELF BE TRUE" a famous quote that we all have heard of or at the least something of the sort, was written by William Shakespeare. "Know thy Self " another well known quote penned by Socrates. The latter actually came first. The entire Shakespeare quote which is from the play Mcbeth stated by Polonius goes like this  

"This above all: to thine own self be true, and it must follow, as the night the day,Thou cant not then be false to any man. Farewell, my blessing season this in thee!"  This quote has many interpretation. My interpretation goes as follow: In life above all things, one should be aware of self. To the point that it is clear to you who you are and not questionable by others.  Own your truth for the sake of the fact that you are false(fake) if you do not live it. Keep it one hundred with yourself and you will never be false with anyone else........You owe yourself that! I have a few questions to ponder. Where do you stand when it comes to your truth? Do you live your truth? Do you know your truth? Do you know that which is true? Do you expect truth but don't live in truth? That last question i ask because I think to often we lie to ourselves and expect the truth from others. We want others to give us something we're not willing to give them not to mention give yourself. I really don't like it when someone is asking me to give them something that they aren't not willing to give me , like wtf. Who the beep are you. Anyways.....Living your truth allows you to live a life free of deception.  Understand i get it, if you lie to you then you for sure will lie to me. When do we stop looking the other way. Pretending that the people around you don't see you on some level. That's an issue. When do we honor our word? Whats wrong with saying what you mean and meaning what you say. Is that a bad thing? Self Awareness is everything, it is literally is golden. Who are you? Can you say that you are true to thine own self? Only you know the truth of that for sure

What i didn't know

What I didn't know


What i didn't know about me and where i thought i was in reference to dealing with a relationship. Well i'm not as grown as i thought. ....... i mean, I've still got some issues, lots of work to do. Imma have to worked them out before i dive into any type of relationship or so I thought.  I've repeatedly said that i didn't want a traditional relationship and by that i mean if and when i got into a relationship it wouldn't be built like typical relationship and its typical bullshit and yes, I've always got something to say.......bla bla blab blab. SO! Wow!!
 I was in this relationship like thing, right.  I hadn't even thought about the fact that it has been a while since i had been in a relationship so was i in for some new shit but i didn't know. How could i have known that i was or wasn't ready?  I haven't been in a relationship to test my theories out. My feet are hurting from these brand new shoes and man the same ole relationship bullshit blues is some real bad news. It's not only the same ole, it's also some new b.s. in addition too. The games are way to hard to figure out and as I have said before if life is like the game chess i'm screwed cause i suck at chess. At any rate, I got up to bat and went all in. I flat out struck out!  I thought it honesty would work. It didn't, only to created more insecurity, more questions, more probability and more fear. How funny is that.  We weren't really relating which was the whole point of the relationship like thing in the first place. I couldn't take no more, so i jumped out just as quick as i jumped in. In the end I was lied to and come to find out I was lied to in the beginning......smh. .. We really never had chance. Damn it! I just can't win.
