Random Thoughts
My personal thoughts and opinions.
Everyone has their own set of concepts. Life is full of concepts and experiences. These concepts just happen to be mine. Life is like a VCR but there is no rewind button.
First, we will talk about family. Some people still have both parents and some don't. When you dont share a bond with your parents, that's a hurt feeling. The bond may not be there due to: abuse, neglect, drug-addicted or alcoholic parents and that's detrimental to a child.
Its hard for a child to fill that void. They may become a gang member because they are seeking attention or simply because they want to feel like they are a part of something. In some cases, they may join the armed forces for that sense of being close to others. As adults, they may repeat the same behavior that they endured as a child.
I'm going to discuss several different topics. Basically, every concept is about a form of ignorance. Some people tend to be very ignorant so I thought I would discuss the many ways that show just how high people think their IQ might be without measuring it.
People tend to change when they get married. The scriptures say: Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife: and they shall be one flesh. You cant argue with the bible. But people don't really know the meaning of that scripture.
God honors marriage. This is a fact. But God doesn't honor ignorance. People get married and think that they can give all the advice in the world. If a person tells you their problems, you shouldn't try to use the whole "I'm married, so I know what I'm talking about" idea to try to give them advice, especially if you are having martial problems. Keyword is TRY.
This is my favorite concept right here. Some people think that they never do anything wrong. You can tell this specific person that they have hurt your feelings but that goes in one ear and out the other.
This person gives you a sarcastic apology because they have a big ego and they thrive on the emotional pain of others. This is their coping mechanism. Even though they won't admit it, they cry sometimes. You will never see it. But they do.
How many times do we hear this: Every action doesnt require a reaction. If I had to count, I would probably be rich. But life is short and you only get one so only pay attention to what's important.
I don't have time to be out here starting fights about somebody saying this, that and the third about me. I'm not violent and unless I'm provoked, I dont put my hands on people. As a black woman in America, it irks me when I see black people do stupid s***. Sorry, no filter.
I am tired of seeing black women fighting over a no-good man. One of you either gets hurt or killed while he is somewhere chilling with another woman. Sitting behind prison bars all because you were too busy falling for the same bs he told the other woman.
I am tired of seeing black men fighting over a no-good woman. She must have had some magic, I'm gonna keep it pleasant, for ya'll to be fighting. She didnt have to feed you bs, she fed u both something else. Catch my drift?
To end my story, I say this: The only person in this world that you can be is yourself. Live your life so that you know what to expect.

This is My Story
In life, we all have a story. But, not everyone is an open book. Some people prefer to be private while others can share their stories with no issue. In my story, My Testimony, I discussed bits and pieces of my life. But now, I am going to tell my full story.

Why Wiked: For Good is Undeservingly the ‘worse movie’
So… off the bat, we’re about to delve into something ridiculous. Just so we’re clear on that, ok? The first thing anyone that knows a thing about these dual movies… knows… is the original movie and sequel were shot together.

One Mistake That Changed Everything
Arman was an ordinary young man with simple dreams. He lived in a small rented room in a crowded city, working a low-paying job at a mobile shop. Every day felt the same—long hours, tired feet, and silent nights filled with thoughts of a better future. He wasn’t lazy. In fact, he worked harder than most people around him. But no matter how much effort he put in, his life refused to change. Bills kept piling up, and his dreams kept getting delayed. One evening, while scrolling through his phone, Arman came across a video. It was about making quick money online. The man in the video spoke confidently, showing screenshots of huge earnings. It looked easy. Too easy. Arman hesitated at first. Something didn’t feel right. But then he looked around his small room—the cracked walls, the broken chair, the unpaid bills on the table. His mind whispered, “What if this is your chance?” That night, he made a decision. He contacted the person behind the video. Within minutes, he received instructions. All he had to do was invest a small amount, and the returns would be doubled in a few days. It sounded risky, but also tempting. Arman didn’t have savings. So he did something he never thought he would do. He borrowed money. Not from a bank, not from a friend—but from his mother. She trusted him without asking questions. “If it helps you move forward, take it,” she said with a smile. Those words stayed with him, but he ignored the guilt rising inside. He sent the money. The first day passed. Then the second. The person replied with excuses—“system delay,” “processing issue,” “wait a little more.” By the fourth day, the number stopped responding. Arman’s heart sank. He kept calling, messaging, refreshing the screen again and again. But deep down, he knew the truth. He had been scammed. The room suddenly felt smaller. The silence became heavier. He looked at his phone, then at the message from his mother asking, “Everything okay?” He couldn’t reply. Days passed, but Arman couldn’t escape the weight of his mistake. He stopped going out. He avoided calls. The guilt of losing his mother’s money ate him from the inside. One evening, he finally gathered the courage to call her. His voice trembled as he told her everything—the video, the investment, the scam. There was a long silence on the other side. Arman closed his eyes, expecting anger, disappointment, maybe even harsh words. But what he heard instead changed him forever. “It’s okay,” she said softly. “Money can come again. But you… you must not lose yourself.” Tears rolled down his face. That moment broke something inside him—but also rebuilt something stronger. The next morning, Arman woke up early. For the first time in days, his mind felt clear. He knew he had made a mistake. A big one. But he also knew he couldn’t stay stuck in it. He started working longer hours at the shop. He learned new skills online—not shortcuts, but real ones. Digital marketing, basic design, small freelance tasks—anything that could help him grow. It wasn’t easy. There were days he wanted to quit. Days when progress felt invisible. But he kept going. Weeks turned into months. Slowly, things began to change. He got his first small freelance payment. Then another. And another. It wasn’t much, but it was real. It was honest. For the first time, Arman felt proud—not because of the money, but because of the effort behind it. One day, after months of hard work, he sent money back to his mother. It wasn’t the full amount he had lost. But it was a start. She called him, her voice filled with happiness. “I’m proud of you,” she said. Those words meant more than any amount of money. Arman realized something important that day. The mistake he once hated… had actually changed his life. It taught him patience. It taught him reality. And most importantly, it taught him the value of trust—both others’ trust in him and his trust in himself. If he had never made that mistake, he might still be chasing shortcuts. Now, he was building something real. And this time, step by step, he knew he wouldn’t lose it again.

Foraging Appalachia’s Wild Edibles
It's that time of year again and Appalachia offers a remarkable abundance for anyone willing to learn its seasonal gifts and practice careful gathering. Across ridges, holler's, stream-side's, and meadows, edible plants, berries, roots, and fungi appear through every part of year. Knowledge is key and teaches not only what can be eaten, but also how to gather with respect so that these resources remain available far into future.
