Special thanks goes to everyone who commented on my last two posts! Especially EMBRO!!
I'm definitely feeling a lot better. I know some people wrote about being the person you ultimately trying to find. Yeah, that sounds good. But, that's BS. As someone who has grown to love myself fully, I can agree with the concept. Although, I don't feel anyone is ever completely happy being single. I have many moments of happiness.. like I said previously my good days out way the bad. So YES, I was having one of my bad moments, which I know everyone has felt at some point.
I believe there is someone out there for everyone. Once you finally found that person or the person you feel can be that person you get a kind of happiness like no other.
Last night, I went to a Kwanzaa event sponsored by a local African American Senior Citizen group. (I'm meeting Dr. Karenga tonight! YAY!) It was great to see so many beautiful black faces. A couple of people heard about the Endeavor and offered support and guidance. As most of y'all know, yesterday was the second day of Kwanzaa known as Kujichagulia (Self-Determination), which means to define ourselves, name ourselves, create for ourselves and speak for ourselves. The historian delivered many words of pride and hope for the future. Let me tell y'all, I was AMP. I sat in the room only to be recharge on where my life is headed.
I'm a very spiritual person and constantly give thanks to my Creator. I read my last post after the event and said to myself, "Unconquerable Soul you must keep on pushin." Once again looking at my ancestors, the pioneers before me, those who are just ahead, and myself only to remind myself that my self determination will soon see green pastures.
The battle to fight the system is a lonely road right now. And I think it is key that I acknowledge these feelings instead of ignoring them. Yeah, I still owe myself a cry because it still hurts. In Mahagony, Billy Dee said, "success is nothing without anyone to share it with." I just don't want to get to the mountain top by myself. I just have this urge to go through this journey with someone special.
But, Oh WELL I'M STILL MOVING FORWARD!
There is an alarm at the gate and I'm the soldier answering the call.
Hotep!

What a powerful post. As you can see from the comments you got before, you are not alone.
Now that is what I am talking about. This is what I like to hear. There is nothing wrong with having down momments but you cannot let them consume you. You haven't done that. Man stay strong and stay fly!
Whatever "Endeavor" you are facing, you can surmount it if you 1. have a strong sense of who you are, and 2. have a clear picture of why you must do what you must do. There is an old hymn that says "Lord, don't take away my mountain, but give me the strength to climb." Shem hotep.
good you are feeling better - it is all about the lessons. cuz lawd knows you will be down again!
You ARE going thru the journey with someone special...
Look in da mirror!
Good for you boy. I know that life is sweeter with company (but I use my 'you're the one you're looking for' phrase as concolation, thank you very much :-) ). But anyway, keep on pushin, keep on wading, keep on keepin on, and all dat.
