dysFUNCTIONal

Okay, so this is a little bit of a vent and because of that I will leave the promotion of this post up to my frequent readers, rather than the world.

As much as I understand the the world isn't perfect and all those other excuses and BS. I'm very tired of being surrounded by dysfunction. I don't want things to be perfect but I don't understand why everything has to be SO dysfunctional. From school, family, and life to relationships. . . everything just strives to be flawed.

What happened to striving for perfection or aiming for greatness!? What happened to trying to do the right thing, just because it was the right thing to do!? What happened to values and truths that we cannot deny and do everything to fight for!?

I'm just tired of being in an aimless, hopeless existence where everyone just settles. We settle for jobs we never wanted, we settle for a man that doesn't do what he needs to, we settle for debt, depression, and mediocrity. I just want to go higher; Like, I want to reach goals, make a positive impact, and do it without cutting corners.

I want to succeed. I want to be proud that I stood up for what I believed in, had virtues, and stayed strong. I want God to look at me one day and say "Well Done."

I'm just tired. I'm tired of almost and maybe. I'm tired of the excuses and the issues. I'm tired of "That's just the way it is." I'm tired of the BULL. So, this one is not for you, this post is for me. I'm charging myself to be better and I'm going to pray that God helps me to be all of that and more.

I'm not doing it only for myself, but I'm doing it to show people that life, love, relationships, work and all of that can be FUNCTIONAL. I'm doing it to show the world that a black woman can get married to a black man, have black children and they all be successful. I'm doing it so that I can tell my daughters how to be virtuousness, strong, and compassionate women and raise my sons to be loving, intelligent, and effective men.

I'm doing it because I'm tired of accepting that the world has to be dysfunctional. That's just another lie they told you.
