PSA: Friendly vs Friends

Remember in Boomerang where Halle Berry's character said she was tired of men treating "love" like it was disease? I feel her on that and also how they treat the word "friends" when they should be using the word "friendly." They must think being "friends" picking up a ball and tossing it somewhere. "Love" and "friends" are words of weight; not to be thrown around loosely, lightly, or recklessly...especially 'true' love and friendship.

So, for those confused souls who don't know the difference between being 'friends' and being 'friendly' and definitely for those who try to use 'friends' as a part of their game and still don't know the difference. Allow me to focus the spotlight...

Being FRIENDLY is when I act like I love you and don't want to [insert verb here] you.

Being FRIENDS is when I do love you and won't let anyone else [insert verb from above here] you.

Get it right, not twisted. We don't have to be friends...and I don't have to be friendly to you, either.

PSA: Reality Check

This came across my Twitter time line...read it, remember it, take a note, share it, and never forget it.

Brace yourself...

"Reality checks never bounce."

And the payout may come with interest. As I always say: keep it real, keep it honest, and keep it moving. Whatever situation you are in, make sure you see and are aware of the actual picture; the entire picture. Know the story! Be in the present!

Be real and you'll always be on point.

PSA: Brand New

Don't try to act "brand new" when you're tired, worn, and raggedy as hell; train wrecks are not cute. #BehaveAppropriately

SERENITY NOW!

Grant me the serenity to accept those who are too clueless to realize they are crazy and irrelevant; courage and strength to deal with them on a daily basis...as they refuse to change and get away from me; and the continued wisdom to know that it's them and not me who needs HELP.

Yes, I was having one of those days and moments. Needed some motivation, encouragement, and break away from the Crazies. Pillar of strength.
