B is for Balance

Finding your center, or your place of calm. The constant friction between light and dark. I have struggled with this notion for a long time within my life. To the point of, I no longer care about balancing the scales. I have a hard time being what some people would call “well rounded.” Not because I cause friction, but because I have a hard time expressing or holding back when I’m in a certain mode. When I’m in work mode, I can be strict when it comes to the rules and regulations. It can take me a while to be able to joke around even a little bit. However, at the same time, I only follow the rules, when they make sense in a logical, psychological, philosophical, and anthropological way. It always puzzled me, that my boss promoted me to a position in Human Resources. Not because I did not care about people, but, I was the most unlikely person to follow corporate rules and regulations blindly, without giving each one a proper assessment. Don’t get me wrong, I love the corporate side of America, but it could use a hard slap of reality to the changing mentality of the current and ever-evolving era. It was not until I thought of my previous job as a personal assistant. My previous boss believed in involving people, and not training them to be puppets. And, I’m the same way, yes working in a team is important, however, do not allow yourself to conform to the backward and devolution to some practices in a workplace.


However, what it boils down to. Everyone ideal version, of what they consider their equilibrium should be how they see themselves. True balance is being okay, with who you are, and if not okay with somethings, then shift your foundation. However, just make sure it is as strong and if not sturdier than the previous version. Otherwise, the environment will begin to chip away at you.

Society, Policy, Structure, and Self

 All my life I have been called an old soul or a child of nature. In elementary my friends were in middle school, middle school, they were in high school, and finally high school, they were in college. I was quick to grow up, not because, my environment was horrible and terrible, just because I wish to experience a much life as I can. So I could be prepared for the coming waves.  Some people would say I chose a path, that was not the easiest. However, all I chose was to be me. To some groups of society, as a tall black man, I should be watched, or something to fear. In other circles, I should act as a man should, and not flaunt my feminine side, and then some circles would rather I burn for my beliefs. I am a gay man, a man of many designs, a magician who proudly practices his art. I try to accept all for who they are, for as long as whom they are don’t oppress or hurt others.  It is my policy the one should never stop growing, however, in some aspect of society we have d...

The Next Day

 The next day, oh what wonders it will bring. The next day, full of unknowns and adventures just waiting for me to find them. The next day, I will be strong, and courageous and fight for what I believe in. The next day, I will begin that new training routine to lose that weight. The next day......................Wait!!! Why not today? People tend to wait for a precise moment to start making changes. The next day, the new year, birthdays, a death, or a birth. The first thought in that moment is to change. So why wait a second longer. You already took one step, why not take the next step, and start planning the battlefield. As the saying goes, “Tomorrow is not Promised to Anyone.” I look around a see people with such potential, young or mature, the age doesn’t matter. If you see the potential of what could be, just take a step, no matter how small. No matter if you think impossible, because for that brief moment you thought it could be, before the fear set in. So start right now, Tod...
