"I used to think I had it bad because I had no shoes, then I met a man with no feet"

One of the most important things I've learned about life is it could always be worst. There are many other people who's lives are much harder and less fortunate. At times, I tend to beat myself up about my life and how if this or that would've been a possiblity, somehow, I would be better off...

I've learned to love my situation, look at the bright side, count my blessings, pray for the less fortunate and help out when I can...

My mother could've been a crack whore and my sister and I could've been molested by all of her tricks and drug dealers...

Or I could've never known my mom.

I am thankful for the mother I do have and I can't blame her for having her own issues in life that may prevented her from being the best. I can learn from her and not follow suit, in hopes of being the best mother I can be without letting my personal issues affect my parenting....my biggest fear...

Most people don't even know their dads, but I can say, I am a spliting resemblance of mine and I have internalized the values he has instilled in me as a child. So I guess him being an alcoholic is not so bad....

Some women are barren and will never enjoy the pleasure and joy of pregnancy and childbirth. While some women never feel the true essence of womanhood, I go through the ups and downs of being a single mom. I'm blessed to have a healthy, intelligent son.

Do I wish to have a better childhood and not having to grow up at age 11?
Yes, I would love to be able to relive my childhood in a situation to where I can actually be carefree. But if I was given that opportunity, would I be who I am today? Would I have the personality and character I now possess?

I doubt it....

Would I had rather been born into wealth than poverty?
Who wouldn't?

However...
Rich or poor we all have personal issues when it comes to family and our upbringing...
But with money comes the best psychologists and shrinks that money can buy...

Yes I would rather be weathly with all of my "other" problems, than have to deal with these problems as well as, financial ones....

However, we don't choose our lives, we just have to live with them.

As far as our current President, shit could always be worst, we could be like those in 3rd World countries, under a dictatorship form of government.

Shit could always be worst...

I'm grateful to have my two feet and some shoes....

Til next time, FUCK FACES.....*LOL* (Yall know I'm just kidding...*lol*)
