No Filter: I Said What I Said

People think you need material things to be happy but you don’t. You also cant buy love or happiness. So, you probably wonder where I’m going with this. I’m coming from several different angles. Pay close attention.

Material things impress people. Nice cars, big houses, high paying jobs. But these things also make people conceited. Why not stick to the simple things in life? After all, somebody is out there waiting and praying that a blessing will come their way so that they can feel like somebody while you are out here spending money foolishly on things you don’t even need. Multiple cars and houses are just for show. You can only live in one house at a time and drive one car at a time. Celebrities give you the impression that its okay to have all that stuff. Its hard enough to pay on one house or car so why go spend money on something else you can’t afford?

Some people marry for money. That is by far the stupidest thing you can do. Sometimes, that person wants you to sign a pre-nuptial agreement because they want you to know, if you are broke, they have money so if you come in broke, there’s a divorce, you are leaving out broke. That’s an insult to my intelligence. And its sad because some people sign those because they don’t know the meaning behind them. They love that person so much but they don’t do the proper research. They find things out later and even though its not me, it hurts my feelings too.

I’m just going to keep it real. Being conceited is for the birds. What do I mean by that? If you and your significant other or husband and wife are living comfortably, meaning bills are paid on time and you’re not in debt, neither of you should be talking about how much more money you could make. The Powerball does not make house calls. People gamble and win from time to time. But, these spare of the moment ideas of what can make money need to quit. Too many people are going broke from a “I have a way for us to make money. Let’s go over here and do this or that”. This or that will always leave you broke. Unless your this or that includes a college education or more hours at work, take your this or that and sit down somewhere. Time is precious and life is short.

Moving right along. The dating scene has changed. There was once a time where men opened doors, car doors and restaurant doors, pulled the woman’s chair out and she was the only focus. He also paid the bill. But now, it comes down to who is going to pay the bill, one of them if not both has wandering eyes or they start texting on their phones. What kind of date is this?

For the record, a kiss goodnight is very rare. It’s either, are you coming in or aren’t you? Men and women have different perceptions of this situation. A woman may feel a man is gay if she doesn’t get any sex the first time and he may feel that the woman is a ho for sleeping with him if they just met. My mouth had no filter on this one but yes, its true.

Last but not least, why does a man/woman not realize when they have it good? People do great things for people but it has to count. Women that raise children solo, I commend you. Men that raise children solo, I commend you. But if that’s all it was, then that’s all will be. Even if you slipped back a few times and slept together, so what? You both know the deal.

If you lose everything, that person by your side is the one you need to focus on, instead of focusing on what I call Facebook hoes. They send naked pictures, in some cases videos. A real man/woman doesn’t entertain that. If somebody is holding you down, you better hold on with everything you have. Because bet your bottom dollar, those men/women doing that, at the end of the day, could care less about your personal life. If you don’t believe it, start talking about your problems. People are good at pretending. They want money and attention. Stop giving it to them and see what happens.

To end my story I say this: Material things eventually fade away. Look in the mirror and decide what you want to change.
