I've always been a person that walks my own path. I never fit in. I was too white (the way I spoke) for black folks and too black for white folks, and women found me to be "weird". I'm 48 now and still a loner...and I'm happy. I tried fitting in but it didn't last long, cause I wasn't being true to myself. I just work on myself physically, mentally and financially...I worry about what I think about me than what outsiders think about me.
That's because God made you a born leader. Your path in life will get lonely at times because God is keeping you away from all the negative BS and distractions that are around, because you are a Chosen One. I highly, HIGHLY suggest you become in tune with your spiritual side (if you haven't already), grow closer to God. Also, look into numerology; learn how to add the numbers of your birth date as well as the letters of your full name, you'd be surprised how much you can learn about yourself and your life path. Peace and Blessing my brother.
Yeah bro 47 I just realized what's been holding me back, me caring too much what others think still a loner because that my true self lone wolf and nothing wrong with it and true things come once we stand and stay in our truth.
People love to benefit from you and off you and keep you in toxic environments so they can be happy and not deal with their insecurities or elevate off your accomplishments or demise …most people don’t want to see you do good or have anything .. .will put you in harm’s way however, there are a few …individuals that will assist you with getting thorough hard times and bring you up with them to prosper, sincerely no strings attached from the heart…some people cause confusion and like it when you are doing bad!
I could never say it better….now that I’m older (especially) I can’t understand risking your life to acquire some shit to impress some asshole who wouldn’t piss on you if you were on fire? 🤨
Naw just surround yourself around more positive people in general. Whether they're doing better than you means nothing because It's positive genuine people out here that are still struggling but know how to show love and support for friends and family. People who are doing better than you can still be jealous of you. They can simply just can't stand you for you who you are as a person and what you represent and "doing better" has no relation to your individual identity
@@steffyranger again.... surround yourself around people who are doing better than you. I'm not just talking about financial. I have friends who make more and make less than me but some parts of their lives are better than mine. Why does everything need to be broken down......
@@calvinmack7124 it doesn't matter what position your circle is in whether you all or doing bad or good as long as they're giving positive support that's all that matters
Thats all TRUTH 😢 A couple years back when I first started my battle against cancer, I got to a point where I was willing to destroy myself so I could blend in with others. I had lived such a lonely life and I didn't want to pass on never having had real friendship real love real family. Fast forward to now, I've gone back to that mental state where my thoughts are aligned with the greater me from within, and I say now, if I have to participate in things that take away from me in any way shape form or fashion, in order for me to hang out with you...I'd just rather not. Don't betray yourself for the company of another...it's completely NOT WORTH IT 💯 Be-You-tiful 😘 Love Peace and Light 💖
Whenever we try they come kill us. They murdered a Nigerian when he came to the U.S. he was like the J.P. Morgan of Africa. He wanted to bring us up. We were to busy watching super bowl when it happened.
From a person born/raised in Indianapolis he aint lyin💯alot of people here hate when u do better than them. Even if what u doin don't even interest them, the fact that u happy is reason enough to hate. I remember as a Junior in HS some random grown ass man stopped me on my way home from football practice and told me he hoped I'd die before I graduated cause he wasn't good at sports and I was😂
And that's why I'm 1 deep... It's lonely no lie but I'm not trying to fit in just to have friends... I'm 37 and can still box professionally no drugs not alcohol and I can still pull women in their 20's because I took care of myself... Got my own place and car single... Sometimes it's better to fly alone than to walk with the masses... Be better Kings
Damn.. I’m glad to hear Mike Epps open up like this… I always liked him as a comedian but now I can say I like him as a man (pause 💀).. yall know I mean, sht. I ain’t gotta explain myself lmao…😅
Once you leave,you can’t go back Growing up I was always reading about traveling well i turned 24 , Moved to cali with 9,000 ,started personal training,im married ,lifebis good ,im traveling tons more. I went back to visit My mom so she can meet my life partner,a person I used to call homie Said “oh you think you the shit cause you been around a few white people,you still a nigga like me.” I immediately said “ honestly bro,your stagnation is your own fault ,and my name is sage not nigga,it’s not your name either.” He then stared talking loud and you know woop de woo and stuff Mike Epps is right,it’s ok to leave the hood you can’t grow where there is now healthy soil.
Even in the suburbs. We smile, but everyone is competing & thinking they are better than the next but be high coke & meds & have shady past & always getting charges dropped. It’s an American 😢thing
That is the life of a insecure person, insecure people constantly feel the need to 1 up people to feel better about themselves. When you are secure with yourself you don't do all that.
Told a couple of "my niggas" I was going back to school for Information Technology, and they said "😶😶"....internally it hurt, but gotta say less, ✂️, and elevate. Popularity aint shit
Do white people go through this shit? I'm 44 and I've went through similar situations and I constantly hear other black folks that leave the hood go though it also.
Everyone does, its not a race thing. Misery loves company and many people dont wanna see others doing better than them. However, just like most things, negative aspects of the human experience seem to effect us even more.
I think its going to happen soon because they patched things up since the altercation. It will probably happen by Summer time , especially now that Club Shay Shay has hit 3 Million subs.
@viperrecords3288 I don't know what statement you're talking about. RUclips seems to have deemed it hate speech, bullying, and harassment, because i.dont see it.
“I gotta destroy myself for you to like me” gaaaah damn. That hit different
Nah, it hit just right. A lot of us can relate to this.
Some people don’t wanna see you make it and etc
If people don’t like you fuck’em, don’t ruin your life for anyone..
Some friends you just have to leave behind

Once you leave,you can’t go back

Moved to cali with 9,000 ,started personal training,im married ,lifebis good ,im traveling tons more.
I went back to visit
My mom so she can meet my life partner,a person I used to call homie
Said “oh you think you the shit cause you been around a few white people,you still a nigga like me.”
I immediately said “ honestly bro,your stagnation is your own fault ,and my name is sage not nigga,it’s not your name either.”
He then stared talking loud and you know woop de woo and stuff
Mike Epps is right,it’s ok to leave the hood you can’t grow where there is now healthy soil.
Real talk! Yeah Mike, that’s wazzup.
