Behind The "G Walls"

Today I received a letter from a friend back home who's been  locked up (Ricker's Island) going on 4 years. We've been talking back and forth for a while but I fell off. I guess I got caught up in my new life, I forgot about the people in my old one. He says he wrote me 4 months ago and I never replied, but he understands. From the way he talks now, I can tell that he's matured and he's trying to be a better person and live a positive life style. But he's coming out soon and he's already talking about making fast money again and it bothers me because there's no legal way to make fast money in the hood. I'm responding to him in a  letter tonight, but this time I want to write a letter that's going to make him think about bettering himself completely in every area of his life. So I'm going to take my time, pray about it, and let the words flow. Hope what ever I write has a great,impact on his life.

It's like a battle going on with me right  now && I'm aware that I can't fight it on my own.... The other thing is that when I do make this big step in my life, how will it affect some of my friendships?? Especially the niggas I done passed L's around a cypha with, or drank a $60 bottle of Goose with..talk crap, threw up then fell asleep and woke up 8:00pm the next evening with.  .. && then I hear this still small voice in my head saying "Jess I gotchu&q

Listen To Your Heart

I just finished watching "Listen To Your Heart" and throughout that whole movie I found myself in tears. It was different from the regular romance/dramas I usually watch because this time it was a musician that fell inlove with a deaf girl. How ironic is that? The way this guy was so determined to love her inspite of her disability  had me questioning myself, "Have I ever experienced "unconditional love? " I love everyone but to be in love to the point where nothing else matters but that person's heart, I'm not so sure of. I've never been at a point in my life where I was with someone and I loved them so unconditionally that if they were to get ran over by a truck, legs amputated, or face burned up, I can look past that. But I want to be in love like that. People say it only happens in movies... but "acting" is "reacting" which means it already happened, someone is just reacting it out. "Love" is a word, It's up to

I refuse to be that 55 year old woman, who at 10 years old had a list of dreams of who she wanted to be when she got older, but as the years went by she crossed each dream out because she was scared to take chances...Tired Of Chasing My Dreams, Time To Catch Them!!
