i guess i should start by warning you that this will be a bit lengthy, but that’s due to the foolery i’ve been seeing in the past years that i no longer want to see occur in this 2012 year. so keep up!

every year should be a year of new beginnings for you. as the year approach we should all sit back and evaluate our past. recognize the mistakes and the good things that we’ve done and work on making them that much better. it never fails, every year i see “this year i’m going to change.” that’s where we go wrong. we’re too busy trying to change everything about ourselves and about our friends/family instead of simply IMPROVING. if you have to “change” every year, you don’t have your life in order. there is no reason that every new year you should have to get your number changed, you should have to pick a brand new set of friends. maybe someone needs to do some self examining. KEEP IT REAL and realize that its not everyone else, its you. you’re the reason your grades aren’t where they need to be, your relationships aren’t lasting, or you’re constantly getting caught up in someone else’s drama. we have to stop blaming others for our mishaps. own up to the shit. the sooner you except that you’re the one fucking up, the sooner you can make things better. there is no need to place yourself in denial. your teacher didn’t hate you, she wasn’t racist, you got an F in the class because you EARNED an F in the class. your manager wasn’t after you, nor was he showing favoritism. you’re not getting hours cause you’re always late to work and when  you get to work you don’t do shit but run your mouth. just being real.

if you know me, you know that friendship isn’t something that i take lightly. when i befriend someone i establish this bond with them that no one or nothing can break. with that being said, 2012 should not be the year of making friends that are convenient to you at the time. its simple. we have to grow up. we’re too old to be playing these “he say she say” games or falling out with someone because they didn’t respond to a situation the way you wanted them to. or because they didn’t show up to your birthday dinner. that’s petty. in today’s world, just being real, you should be trying to network. make friends that are going somewhere in life. you should also work on bettering your friend. we all have those friends that aint doing shit, and headed down the “i aint gon be shit” road, but instead of allowing him/her to continue down that path help your fellow brother or sister out. most of the time people aren’t doing things because they don’t know how or don’t know where to start. its simple, sit down with them and help them fill out job applications and register for classes. i mean, that’s what REAL friends do. stop allowing your friends to lie to themselves. its not the “white man” that’s keeping them from getting the job, its the dirty clothes they wore when they turned in the application. its the blond hair dye they put in their head the night before. its the fact that he’s a man and doesn’t carry himself accordingly. its sad, but we stay in a bias world. so if you want to get ahead you have to play along. 

let’s try to keep all the drama in 2011. tuhh’ if you’re constantly finding yourself in altercations, TRUST ME, its not because you’re THAT girl and every body hating on you. 9 times out of 10 you have a fucked up attitude, and you’re always rubbing someone the wrong way. or maybe you mind everybody’s business, and running your mouth, resulting in people feeling the need to put their hands on you. what i saw a lot of in 2011 was people fighting over community DICK AND PUSSY o_0 who started that shit?! what really blows me is, people fight over SOLIDIFIED hoes. this is where being true to yourself comes into play.. if you KNOW you’re a hoe, embrace it. don’t get in relationships fucking up people’s emotions, friendships, and life. simply be a hoe. when it comes to me, i want you to tell me if i’m on a team or not and let me decided whether or not i wanna play. we have to be real with ourselves and stop putting so much into people, so fast. there isn’t a single person you should put that much energy and dedication, praise into beside GOD. you don’t think something is wrong with you worshiping your significant other?

there is a lot of improvement i want to see this year. WE can’t keep living the way we’re living. its not healthy and its not RIGHT. lets make an improvement this year. 2012, the year of bettering one’s self.

“Year’s end is neither an end nor a beginning but a going on, with all the wisdom that experience can instill in us. Cheers to a new year and another chance for us to get it right.”
