Howard and I engaged in a mini battle. A minor skirmish. I won.

Why? Because, it is MY life…LOL

He had been fussing with me. He wants me, in my videos and tiktoks, to speak to folk as I speak to HIM. Says he wants to folks to get to know THAT me.

I told him no. THAT me is only for my closest of mates. THAT me is the me that shares the entirety of my tired soul. THAT me gives up the deepest of tears. THAT me is not meant for the entirety of the world. The world eats up the super vulnerable.

Now, that is not to say, beloveds, I am fake or “different” in the videos or tiktoks. Far from it. In fact, THAT part of me, rejoices in imparting wisdom, humor, and in love a much more measured, more calm, more quiet manner. THAT me HAS to reign in her passion. If not, I speak entirely toooooooooooooooooooo fast. I get so excited, super stoked, I am unable to articulate what I would like to impart.

It takes work to reign in my super stoked self. I so want to love on folk. I sooooooooooooooo want to share the joys of this life, I can sometimes rush in, headlong, giving way too much information, too fast, cramming MY hopes, dreams for the future, upon others.

I have learned to just share. To give folk the opportunity to utilize the wisdom, knowledge, and words at their leisure. Or, not.

Besides, I enjoy the tiktok me. She is fun. She likes to laugh a lot. She enjoys slapping down images she KNOWS, full stop, will annoy Howard for being too this, that, or the other. Alas, please don’t tell, I take his counsel to heart. I make changes, as needed, from his perspective. Then, I give him mine and keep it moving.

I am learning to leave folk to their work. I do mine. I present ME. As I am. In THAT moment. In THOSE moments. If folk receive THAT part of me, so be it. If not….*shrug*. Different strokes, for different folks.

Hear me, beloveds, I am NOT saying it’s okay to say whatever we want, however we want, whenever we want, without reading the room. Without taking others thoughts and feelings, into account.

Do those things. Then, do you, keep it moving, keep on loving, keep on expressing your thoughts and heart, keep on fighting for you and your dreams.

True communication is hard. Everyone won’t understand. Everyone won’t appreciate. Half will hate it. The other half will love it. Everyone will have an opinion about it.

The point of speaking is to share and give the recipient the freedom to feel, to react, as he/she/they see fit.

No lecture here, beloveds. Just sharing a bit of me. Just sharing my thoughts, in real time. Wow. Scary thought, that!……hahahahahahahahahahahaah!

You have an amazing rest of your day.
