sometimes in our lives we just have to drop anything and everything that we may have goin on and just do something totally spontaneous. that's what i did today.
seemed like things were going okay from the outside when all it took was one moment to make things fall apart. taking time to build community with folks is never on our life "to do" list..even though its prolly the most crucial thing in the world..we breeze through ice breakers and check in's day in and day out...tryna get down to "business" with the quickness..we forget about the process of learning and growing with one another..meetings become a chore..people become dehumanized..until those barriers are torn down we will continue to alienate and misunderstand each other and further create even more barriers like artificial "comfort zones" and lines that intricately map out our differences in gender, religion, race, ethnicity, status, class..systems of oppression that were intentionally used to divide us have become our very own tools to distance ourselves from one another. trip offa that..
when will we ever learn? learn to stop sprintin..and walk with one another?
sometimes i contradict myself..when i say carpe damn. carpe damn only works when you're emotionally detached. like finally blazin for the first time...mhhmmhm but clearly, im still attached.
i dont wanna "wait my whole life wondering when its gonna come or where its been..and all the things you used to say, the things you used to do, went right out the door..when love wont let you walk away and you cant help who you love and you find yourself giving it away when you think youre in love...i wanna be the one who you believe..." word to ms. keyshia cole
