Living While I Die...

I was listening 2 the song "Before I die" by Kirk Franklin and it got me to thinking.... if any of u have read my blogs b4 u already know that i am a thinker.
Sometimes my thinking can get me in trouble and sometimes it sets me free...Well today I hope it sets me free...There may be some of u that think u know me
when u really don't...and i say that because people always look on the outward appearance of a person...hardly ever do they take the time 2 see a person 4 who
they are within...I have a life history that I wouldn't change much about it, but if I had a delete button, recycle bin, or spam file i would get rid of some things...I know
i am far from being perfect...I can't even remember or recall a time when i thought i was....actually nope now that i think about it, i can honestly say i never viewed me as
a perfect being...I always saw the imperfections of me. it took some special people in my life 2 shine the light on anything good about me...i have been told so many times
i can be too aggressive, intimidating, crazy, psycho, come off as 2 strong, paranoid, oh and I can't forget that i think i know everything. i could go on but u get the
picture...any way the song says right b4 i die i got 2 live....but at the end of the song it says right b4 i live i have 2 die....My son asked me what that meant
and i could only explain it one way and that is how i understand it...some people can look as though they have it all together and like they are living the life. they use their
money 2 mask their pain...but there are some people who look like they have nothing 2 offer and they are richer then the wealthiest person on the face of this
earth. these are the people who have died b4 they lived. i may not be able 2 explain it in a way that everyone gets it but i know someone out there will get it...i am the type of
person that will edify another b4 i do myself, but i can also be one who will give u constructive criticism as well (this is why i am apparently 2 aggressive) however when i do
anything my heart intent is always 2 better the person...not by anything that i've done but just simply by giving them advice...see i guess i have a serious problem...I like 2 help
people! i didn't know that it was a crime...but now i know by doing so u can be persecuted either way u slice it...i've had thoughts of going the other way, but that wouldn't be me.
so here i am one woman(but not the only one) who wants 2 change the world..when i see a hurting heart i'm the one who wants 2 comfort it (silly me right?) when i see someone who doesn't feel loved i
want 2 show them love (what a thought) when someone is homeless my desire is 2 give them food and a place 2 stay(not yell at them get a job), if someone is overwhelmed i want 2 lighten their load(crazy huh?)
When someone has a dream or a goal i want 2 help them accomplish it(a cheerleader) and when someone talks down about themselves i'm the one who reminds them that "u are what u say"(whoa I know it all now)
Most people don't know me...but i love people, i always have and always will. i instill love into my children and i even try 2 push my passions off on my husband at times(this means i'm intimidating)
I guess i don't know how 2 be everything 4 everybody but i sure wish i could be...see sometimes i can be ugly, i can yell, be distant, isolate myself even(because no one understands all of me). I remember my
mother...and now i get it..i can remember her yelling and now that i yell i understand that emotion...there are other things that i get but we won't go there it can get a little uncomfy for some(mainly me).
i share my home, my life, my trials, my love, my time, and even my thoughts with only a selected few( this means i'm paranoid) and it shall remain that way. u can't trust ur heart with everyone(that's a no brainer right there)
But i am doing my best 2 live while i die....i can tell u i hate one sided relationships! u know the ones where ur the one doing it all? making all the calls, the plans 2 get together, giving all the advice,
doing all the errands, all the praying, all the crying, all the loving, all the texting(u get the point). i hate it because in relationships like these u know that once u stop doing it all, there isn't a relationship (what a psycho)
So i came from a big family i never had my own room til i was 16 and even that was short lived...we shared everything and i mean everything! I don't understand these small families who only have 2 kids and they
had all their own things and had both parents 2 care for them. i don't understand a person who doesn't love, i don't get people who think they are better then the next based on status, i don't even get people who
are self centered...But i can tell u who i do get and that is Me. love me or hate me there are just some things that u don't get 2 alter..so if u by chance think u know me b4 u say anything about me
learn 2 see me in a new light and come closer u just may see my heart...I am living while i die...but i am also dying while i live....well i love u all always(especially those selected few)

  1. Honey you are an amazing woman inside and out. Knowing you are going the best you know how is the key in any situation. Though the one sided relationship is very trying, luckily you are very strong and willing. Much love for you my cousin if you need anything shoot me a text or something.
    Love Tulene
