birds of a feather

As i sat in raising canes yesterday with Ashley we talked about current issues we were dealing with... her & Greg, Bruce & i, boys running away from their feelings, emotional unstableness, and as she was talking about bad influences i was side tracked by the well know statement

birds of a feather flock together

and unsurprisingly it is very true... for example when i was dating Ojay... he wasnt really doing anything with his life so in turn i stopped doing anything in my life. but on the other hand when i took a step back and saw people that i truely cared about gettin their stuff together i was motivated to not only get my stuff together but i was also drawn to them &. their positive energy.

My mom made a very valid statement last week...

Like likes Like

and at first i didnt understand but she simplified it for me... Stupid likes Stupid... Dumb likes Dumb... Pretty likes Pretty... so on and so fourth... so i began to apply this not only to myself but to the people i keep close... and it quickly allowed me to understand why some of yall are doing what you're doing, saying what you're saying, showin out, and getting mad at not only the truth of your situations but also at yourself because you've put yourself there... &. yes myself is included.!

We've all become comfortable in what we know. so comfortable that when someone who we think is our friend says something thats the truth insteading listening and heeding to the warning, we become defensive and shut them out (Candance.) only allowing other people to fall into our comfort with us (Jasmine.)

Ojay once told me that people laugh at the truth, thats why Katt Williams is soo funny. CORRECTiON people laugh at the truth when it has NOTHiNG to do with them THATS why Katt Williams is so funny...
