With great responsibility comes sacrifice for anyone that is looking to be a mentor or as I like to call it being the Big Homie. When you reach this status in life, you have to take on a new light. My apologies for the rhyme scheme I can not help it! Any way back to the subject one can not be a big homie if you're still doing shit you know is not good. If you still have the mentality of a 20 year old street kat but you 25 or older then you sir are not allowed to be called a big homie. We're living in a generation where racism is going back 50 plus years and where they'll put anyone in the White House who can start wars with North Korea and you mean to tell me you rather sit and let your lil homies suffer with no knowledge on how to do better and get off the block? You mean to tell me you rather steal and kill from your own kind and have his mama and your mama crying cause one son dead and the other got life in prison? Really that's the kind of legacy you want to be apart of? Nope didn't think so! "So what do you suggest Big Homie Josh? How can we make it better?" Well I'm glad you ask because it's simple. Reach one teach one! Reach out to one of your lil homies you see going astray and you put them on game on how to better themselves. Make sure they good and that you got they back no matter what. That type of love you show to another is very contagious and it will prompt them to do the same for their people too. It's sad though sometimes I get dirty looks from my own kind but in all reality we all hurting for one reason or another and as black folks we tend to take the pride and being "stiff" issue to the head and therefore it throws off balance of our spirituality but with daily prayer and/ or meditation watch how the quality of your life improves! Remember reach one teach one Big Homie. Make the necessary changes for the better cause once you have kids and adults looking up to you, then you know it's trill.
Greetings and blessings to you all my fellow strangers (just kidding) I am the strange one in this case. All jokes aside, it has been a while since I've posted anything and to tell you the truth it's been rough. Depression is real and I'm not to the point where I'm in any danger to myself or others but dealing with the loss of a close loved one is a brand new challenge for me. I'm quite surprised that I've made it thus far but God is so awesome and He always send someone or something my way to reassure me all will work out for the better and that way worse could've been the case if the situation were opposite. I know it's others out there currently suffering like me but let me be the first to tell you, you're never alone. I deal with the same hurt and quite frankly it will never end but that does not mean you got to stop living. If anything a death that hit so close to home should inspire us to live more! I know my little bro would want me to live...
