What could you do more of?
Where is sincerity

People are out here taking advantage of people who look like me
It broke my heart yesterday to see
A beautiful woman living on the streets
Why does society throw little girls boys woman and men away
Something has got to change
Grown men out here not giving their own children the time of day
He may think its cool
I don’t agree
So I’ll tell you what I did when it happened to me
I put on my big girl swag
Daddy taught me the way
To provide for mine everyday
I spent my time making a better way
No one came to any basketball games
To cheer my baby on
I didn’t sweat it cause my lungs are strong
I have a big voice and a million dollar smile
It didn’t take much time to move the crowd
Championships were won 🏆 trophies were earned
Children need a father’s love for all concerned
I gave him my all he stabbed me in my back
Hell to the naw, why would I want that back
I’m not being bitter nor am I being mean
I’m so sincere there’s no in between
Imma talk my talk enjoy this read
I have so much
Sincerity
If you had played fair and been sincere
You would have been there
It’s alright it’ll be ok
With the rising of the sun ☀️ comes a brighter day
What’s the best piece of advice you’ve ever received?
Let them think what they want
Their gonna believe what they believe
This is why it’s called gossip amongst thieves
Hold your chin up high don’t you fret
The love you provide will be heaven sent
Keep your head on straight
Don’t get uptight
Today’s a new day another chance to get it right
What we need is his everlasting touch
Reach down from the heavens
We need you so much
The children are homeless hungry and mislead
The world is at war and the economy is failing
So before I lay down and call it a night
Starrdust is gonna pray to the ancestors to hear our pleas this night
Send us strength and integrity
I pray I pray on this night
The good Lord heals the world tonight
What things give you energy?
Mentally scarred you can heal
Mentally capable you can be
Mental strength you will achieve
Mentally cable of breaking through walls that prohibit you from being all that you can be
When your mentally stable you can do anything
Overcome your obstacles and fight for yourself
Because when you do your faith is renewed
Then and only then can you see all that you are meant to be
Go punch that bag
Go ride that bike
It’s time to reignite your own passion for life
Keep your chin up and don’t be afraid
You are formed of all the elements your ancestors were striving to create
They provided for you and gave their lives
Get out there and do what’s right
Love your neighbor help a friend
It’s all that matters in the end

What would your life be like without music?
Music music
They took you away
I will never forget playing my clarinet and flute in music class in school back in those days
When I finally decided my instrument choice
The program was scratched and I had to find a new spark
I made my decision I was quite sure
That the violin was my instrument of choice
The world is changing , I must adjust
I miss those lessons and I learned to adjust
Music is joy
Music soothes the heart
I always and forever have a song in my heart
Raging raging raging mad
The feeling is superb when your sad
Go in your room and lock your door
Express your anger and remember who the struggle is for
Raging woman Raging man
It’s ok to not be sad
Take a break go scream and shout
Remind yourself what life’s about
Your family loves you and needs you too
Don’t hold your anger against the world
Next, settle your mind and focus your thoughts
Find a hobby or go take a walk
Raging women raging man
Your goal is to follow God’s plan
Your just going through the motions, you can scream and shout, just do it in private and it will all work itself out
How do you celebrate holidays?
What’s a holiday and why celebrate them?
The hardest times of the year for families to celebrate are holidays when the entire family dynamic is broken.
Holidays are the culmination of family unity as a result in celebration of significant events in American history.
Growing up my most significant holiday was Xmas. I was born so close to Xmas that Xmas was the only time my birthday would be celebrated with gifts. Birthday gifts are significant for a child, gifts make children feel special and wanted. During the entire month of December I could look forward to my dad taking off work the entire month just to spend time with the family.
We always had parties and holiday festivities at our home. It was great to have the family together.
My best gifts from my dad were his secret admirer letters.
Every Valentine’s Day my dad would write secret admirer letters to all my cousins and we would go to my grandparents house and drop them in the mailbox, wait for all the kids to come and send them to the mailbox to get the mail.
This was so exciting because I had gotten mine at home and it always made me feel special and loved.
Growing up you think memories last forever, but they don’t.
Growing up you think these gestures reassure and solidify love connections, but they don’t.
There are lessons in life that sometimes make giving and receiving love a tragedy.
Currently, the only holiday that has any significance is Easter.
On this holiday my father passed away.
