I'm friends with, related to and keep company with people who fill me up. People who day in and day out intentionally focus on all my right instead of pointing out all my wrong. I've observed that as a young, black woman residing in Brooklyn thats the hardest thing for some of us to do. Most people (women in particular) are so hell bent on tearing one another down that there is no room, time, or focus contributed to building each other up. Many people are not comfortable with the fact that I am actually FRIENDS with so many different women. Its been said that when you can mingle with different crowds that you're "mixxy" or phony, I strongly DISAGREE. I think women are drawn to me because EVERYDAY I work towards the contribution of building them up! Of course there are times when I have to have uncomfortable conversations that require harsh and REAL dialogue but I'm mindful of women and feelings so I make sure to send the message the same way I would want to receive it, that helps to gain respect.....And once these conversations are had WE move forward. They're NEVER used against the person for my own personal gain or to humiliate them. AFTER THE REAL TALK COMES THE HEAL TALK. We all make terrible mistakes, wrong choices, and bad decisions. Being ridiculed, constantly reminded, and persecuted for them don't make them any better but only makes the individual even worst. My initial approach is and will ALWAYS be LOVE, especially with WOMEN. It doesn't matter if I know you personally or not. My compassionate heart won't allow me to be any other way. AS WOMEN WE GIVE EACH OTHER THE HARDEST TIME! I've watched some women mold their daughters into full blooded b*tches, I remember I used to be one! But God is good to constantly show me the error in my ways and for continuously allowing me to grow! I hope that all of my past indiscretions have been forgiven and I pray God gives me the strength to forgive all of the b*tches I had and have to endure. I'm OVER giving other women a hard time, I'm here to love and be loved in return.
