My Humbling Journey

Auracles by MJ

Growing up, it seems to me “that nasty attitude” was & still is way too common. It’s glorified. Who made this ok? Or even “pretending” to have an attitude, to eventually blurt out “you know I’m kidding.” Why even carry on in that way? When actually did this become a habit? This toxic behavior that has obviously been accepted, leaves me to believe it started in the home...

To talk down, but be “kidding”. Even the audacity one may have to say whatever they desire, no matter the impact, to whomever; and think it’s OK. Who the hell are you? SAY WHAT YOU MEAN, MEAN WHAT YOU SAY. The tongue is powerful. Being disrespectful has been normalized, and dressed up like fashion from those who lack intellect. Playing is one thing, playing way too often is another. Having a “fake” nasty disposition was never cute. If you on that type of time, fine. Live like that, this isn’t for you.

It’s the personal experiences one goes through that enlighten them. Unfortunately, someone's death, near death, drugs, etc. are some of the dark things that can bring luminosity to the soul. It’s like a wake-up call.

Once upon a time, I was vein. I only cared about my looks, your looks, the quality for it all, healthy hair, healthy nails, etc. And that’s not bad, but I shunned the opposite. That’s where I can say now, a wake-up call was needed. I became a very nasty individual. Rude, even more…
