I read: Sometimes holding on does more damage than letting go. Powerful statement.
I think that sometimes people hold on because either it's the only thing they know how to do or they are too scared to let go.
Holding on to something when it
has turned to nothing
staggers the heart, mind and soul.
Holding on to something that once
existed makes you wonder was
there ever an existence?
Letting go can be scary.
Scary not knowing what's going to happen.
Scary to actually know that you could be better off.
Yeah that truly is a powerful statement.
There have been days when I wanted to write and either never got around to doing it or just felt too tired to write. As I embark back on this writing journey, this is my way of keeping myself motivated and re-discovering my passion for something that I truly enjoy doing whether it's for myself or others.

Near Death Experience
The closest experience I've ever had to having my life flash before my eyes, was truly an experience.
Back in 2003, I went to a party at a local club. I guess my friend who wanted me to come out had a very busy day that day without taking a nap at some point.
We had went to this party and had a real good time. After it was over, we took someone home. We had to drive to the Bronx. I was in the passenger seat and my friend was driving. We had been talking then the conversation stopped. I looked down for a minute and then looked up just in time. The highway was winding and there was a wall on the side and we were heading straight to that wall. I shouted and shook my friend. Her head was bowing down and her eyes were closed. She woke up and pulled over and let the person who we were taking home drive.
In that quick moment, I saw all that I had done with my like up until that moment and all that I could be from that point on.
I remember that day as if it happened yesterday. It was truly one of the scariest moments in my life. My mom had already buried one child many, many, years before and I definitely didn't want her to have to do it again.

Guilty Pleasure
There are so many things that I enjoy doing. But as I sit here and write, I think about a television show that I love to watch. That show, Paternity Court with Lauren Lakes. Don't get me wrong, I love me some Judge Judy, Judge Karen, Judge Mablean, Judge Ross and Judge Faith but this one in particular I love.
I used to watch Maury but after seeing women come on five or six times to find out who their baby daddy is, is not only too much but kind of heartbreaking. How could you not know who the father of your child is and why were you sleeping with so many people during the time of conception WITHOUT A CONDEM. I'm not judging, I'm just sayin.
When Paternity Court came on for the first time I was like oh boy here we go but after watching back to back episodes, I couldn't wait for the next day. I was also happy when the show got renewed. This show is special because these guests not only get the answers that they need answered but help is also provided for them.
I couldn't imagine growing up thinking one man was my father and then another comes along and says that he is my father and it turns out to be true. I couldn't imagine how I would feel knowing that my mother told me over and over that one man was my father and for years he denied me, then turns out he is my father. Or it could turn out that he really wasn't my father.
I also couldn't be one of those who didn't know who the father of my children was. You think it's one guy and it turns out to be the other guy. Crazy!
Some of the stories on this show are just unbelievable. Both men and women denying who is or who isn't the father until the results come in. It's not funny but it is when a female is so adamant about who is the father and it turns out someone else it the father. Or when a guy denies paternity until the very end and it turns out that he is the father.
Like I stated earlier the best part about this, is that there is help for the people that come on after paternity is decided. Another good thing is that there is a follow up show on some of the craziest situations.
There you have it, my guilty pleasure and why...lol
