“Nay Nay’s Prayer!”
My good girl... did I do good too?!
“NayNay’s Prayer!”
When I see you again. I hope I kept my word on the things I promised you ... or at the least, made a “Herculean Effort!” to make ALL of them true! I’ll ask, Did I make good on my 2nd chance on life and live true to myself? Or did I compromise, accept “my shackles & chains” and GIVE up!? Did I go get my dreams or leave “Them” sitting there, just waiting for me!? I’ll ask my Angel, 😇 ...Did I Live FREE❤️?!
Was I able to make you PROUD by finding humility in my successes and grace in my defeats!? Have I learned to accept help, so others offer it freely to me!? Have I Opened doors to understanding because not EVERYONE thinks, lives, or ACTS like me!? 🤔🌍 Have I seen, and SHARED the NEW perspectives I’ve gained from those who didn’t have the same background(s) or opportunities as me!? Have I opened my heart to SHARE and Love FREE❤️?!
You leave me with MY LESSON firm in mind. “A soft growl will usually get the job DONE, but Never let them forget the veracity of YOUR TEETH!!” ... and NEVER bite the hand that feeds you. (Yes baby, I got that one too!! 😉)
I promise never again to let those who would steal my light ,💡 shine, ideas or joy, silence me🤫🤭🤐😷!! Or Leave behind those who’ve been entrusted in my care to ever want, need, or go looking for me. Even if loving them differently is the best/ only OPTION available to me.
As I watch the World come to grips with “God’s (whoever you believe she 😉 is!!) CLEANSING this world through HONESTY!!” ...😮😳😮 “Yessir!!”
(Scramble for that Bible, Koran, Tanakh, Magic Crystal, Owner’s Manuel, Flip a dollar 🤷🏿♂️ read/ YouTube, do something!! ... with Equality movements and Me too, American’s TRUE history, Will and Jada’s Tangled web🕸, police Brutality, oh Lord...we ain’t even got to the KIDS!!! 🍕 👀👀 ... “2020 You da real MVP!!🍻🏆🏅)
When we meet again my angel, did I continue to LIVE, my life OPEN and HONEST (and Free❤️?!😉) ... and when I Return, I’ll ask did I Bring along anyone... did anyone, COME with ME?! 🤔🌍
As I drift into “the dimension” 💤 where WE might actually meet (ever so briefly)I know I won’t have time⏲ to ask all of these questions, so I prepared them here as a reminder for the time we meet again, where you’re at. One final question I ask of you... for me.
Did I REFUSE to project/ accept negativity in defense of questionable actions, both my OWN or another’s towards me!?
Or did I continue to turn in search of a “Third Cheek!?” DID I GIVE a Darn!! About others People, “my fellow man” ... EVEN when none were given about me!? Or Did I walk by and say “it’s another man’s job” and be CONTENT with that FLAW that robs us all of OUR HUMANITY!?!? “If I saw SOMETHING, did I SAY SOMETHING!?” ... because I know you will only call on me to see 👀 what is truly meant for me to see!!
I’ll ask Did I ignore your Vision!? or STAND UP/ SPEAK up to what 💯 is that TRUTH as I SEE!? My Angel watching over me, DID I HAVE THE COURAGE TO CONTINUE to LIVE this beautiful gift 🎁 of LIFE... “FREE❤️!?”
Night, Night Guardian Girl😇

One World 🌎 with many perspectives!
When it comes to “clear” communication, Nothing is heavier than the weight of your own perspective! It’s a thick fog or heavy blanket that traps you in the prison of “I’m right!”... “I shouldn’t have to!” ... “I won’t apologize...” “They owe ME!”... or “I’m doing what makes me happy” ... “it’s all about me!” And so on and so forth, you get the gist. 🙄 Simply put, its cuz your perspective, IS all about YOU!! (Even if other people agree... they might be inmates, trapped right along with you) However, it’s only when you choose to see YOUR prison from another perspective that you can view... there are no locks, no prison bars, no walls, no cell, no keys... you are the only one keeping you trapped in YOUR View!!

“He Kept Going When No One Was Watching — And That Changed Everything”
No one ever noticed the days he almost gave up. There were no messages asking if he was okay. No one wondered why he became quieter. No one asked how much effort it took just to keep going. To the world, he was just another ordinary man. His name was Ayaan. Ayaan’s life didn’t collapse in one dramatic moment. It slowly faded. Missed opportunities. Rejected ideas. Silent disappointments. Every failure was small, but together they became heavy. He had dreams once. Big ones. Dreams that kept him awake at night, imagining a future where his hard work would finally matter. But over time, those dreams began to feel unrealistic—almost embarrassing. People around him seemed to move forward effortlessly. They celebrated promotions, achievements, and milestones. Ayaan watched from the side, smiling politely while feeling invisible. At work, his efforts were ignored. Among friends, his voice faded. At home, expectations weighed heavily on him. Slowly, a dangerous thought settled into his mind: “Maybe I’m not good enough.” That thought followed him everywhere. It followed him on crowded buses. It followed him into sleepless nights. It followed him every time he tried again and failed. One night, after scrolling through endless success stories online, Ayaan closed his phone and stared at the dark ceiling. His chest felt tight, not because of pain—but because of exhaustion. He whispered quietly, “How long do I keep trying?” There was no answer. But that night, Ayaan made a decision—not a loud one, not a confident one. A tired decision. He decided to keep going, even if nothing changed. The next morning felt the same. The same routine. The same doubts. The same fear of wasting his life. But Ayaan showed up anyway. He worked when no one praised him. He studied when no one guided him. He practiced when no one believed in him. Some days, motivation disappeared completely. On those days, discipline took over. He reminded himself: “I don’t need applause. I need progress.” Weeks passed. Nothing dramatic happened. No sudden success. No recognition. No miracle. But something subtle began to shift. Ayaan became calmer under pressure. He learned to sit with discomfort instead of running from it. He stopped comparing his journey to others. The silence that once scared him now became his training ground. Months later, a serious problem appeared at his workplace. It was complicated, risky, and easy to blame on someone else. Most people avoided it. Some pretended it wasn’t their responsibility. Ayaan didn’t announce himself. He didn’t seek attention. He simply started working. Late nights. Mistakes. Corrections. Learning. There were moments he wanted to quit. Moments when fear whispered, “You’re not ready.” But he answered back, “I’ll learn.” Slowly, the problem began to disappear. Not perfectly—but steadily. People noticed, quietly. One afternoon, his manager called him into the office. Ayaan expected criticism. Instead, he heard a question that stunned him: “Where did you learn all this?” Ayaan paused. How could he explain years of silent effort? How could he explain working when no one cared? He simply replied, “I kept going.” That moment didn’t change his life overnight. He didn’t become famous. He didn’t suddenly become successful. But it changed something far more important. His belief in himself. For the first time, Ayaan understood that life doesn’t always reward effort immediately. Sometimes, it watches. It watches who continues without praise. Who improves without recognition. Who grows in silence. Years later, Ayaan looked back at the version of himself who almost quit. The man who felt invisible. The man who thought no one was watching. And he smiled. Because he finally understood the truth: Life was always watching. Not to judge. Not to rush. But to see if he would keep going when it was hardest. The world doesn’t reward those who only work when they’re seen. It rewards those who build strength in silence. And sometimes, the moment that changes everything doesn’t come with applause. It comes quietly. After patience. After effort. After consistency. That is when everything finally begins to change. Final Message Keep going—even when no one is watching. Especially then.
