Speaker 1 (00:01):
Hey, y'all.

Speaker 2 (00:01):
Hey, it's court me. I know it's been a minute,
but I'm bad, and I'm bad.

Speaker 1 (00:07):
I'm bad.

Speaker 2 (00:08):
I had to tell about my birthday and you know,
it's just kind of go to figure some things though.
But yeah, looking to another clerk chronicle this episode, I'm
talking about blessings, right, I'm talking about being humble. I'm
talking about being thankful for everything that you have, cause
in certain situations, it could be so much different. It

(00:28):
could be you know, it could just be worse than
what you have going on, and just think you think
that you got it bad.

Speaker 1 (00:36):
Somebody next door got it.

Speaker 2 (00:37):
Maybe a little bit worse than what you have, right, right,
So yeah, I'm just sitting over here thinking, just thinking,
like why do we as people try.

Speaker 1 (00:52):
To do everything on our own.

Speaker 2 (00:55):
Like we try to carry this whole world by ourselves
instead of a meeting and ask for help. Right, Like
we miss so many of our blessings because we've overlooked
them because we're looking for something bigger and better, not
knowing that the blessing that you pray for, that you
ask God for, that you cried for over and over

(01:15):
and over again, like that blessening is right in front
of your face, like it is right in front of
your face, and you know, but you so focused on
I want something bigger and better that you miss it.

Speaker 1 (01:27):
You miss it. And it made me think, like how
many times.

Speaker 2 (01:29):
Have I missed blessings? How many time have I walked
right past my blessings when I had exactly what I
prayed for and exactly what I needed was right ear
in my face, like for.

Speaker 1 (01:46):
Real, like for real, Like we got to stop being so.

Speaker 2 (01:52):
We gotta stop being so independent, Like we gotta stop
being so independent that we can't aks for help, whether
it's you going to God or God has already created
that village for you that you just refuse to to
seek O'll help from.

Speaker 1 (02:08):
So we gotta do better with that, y'all.

Speaker 2 (02:11):
We got to learn to aks for help cause shit heavy,
you know, shit is real heavy and like but that's
just you know, we gotta do this. We gotta do this,
like we gotta aks for help because stuff is too heavy,
and we gotta start. We gotta learn to humble ourselves again, right,

(02:31):
we gotta learn to humber ourselves and just be thankful
and grateful for what we have. It's so many of
us right now, that are living in answer prayers and
we don't even pay attention.

Speaker 1 (02:43):
That was this verb? Excuse me that we're living in
answer prayers? Like stop, take a.

Speaker 2 (02:51):
Deep breath, you know, breathe for a minute, breed for
a man, and pay attention.

Speaker 1 (02:59):
Just look, pay attention to what you have right in.

Speaker 2 (03:02):
Front of you, right in front of you. You got
everything that you ever need to want. Yeh, shit hard, Yeah,
shit going up and down. But this ain't forever. The
shit we going through, it's temporary, you know what I mean.
Keep moving, keep keep showing up for yourself, keep thriving
like shit, it is going to change, but.

Speaker 1 (03:24):
You gotta believe that.

Speaker 2 (03:25):
You gotta believe that, and you gotta have that relationship
with God to know that. You have to put all
your trust in him, all of your trusting him. Baby,
it's like all of your trusting him for it to
make any sense, Like you have to be a true,
firm believer that God. You gonna give it to God,
and God is gonna handle it for you. He may
not handle it for your time, but he's definitely handling

(03:48):
for his time. That's our problem, we think, is it's
what we wanna do, is how we move and no
end of the day, God controls his thing, you know
what I mean, Like God controls this whole situation for us.

Speaker 1 (03:59):
It it's just are you willing to conform?

Speaker 2 (04:06):
And when I stay conformed, I don't mean there's no
type of cult, you know what I mean, not like
n nothing like that, but conform it to like maybe
taking step here and make you know, look at a
different perspective.

Speaker 1 (04:20):
Let's go with that. Let's look at it by a
different perspective, and.

Speaker 2 (04:23):
Let's see how possibly God makes to it, or how
a friend makes to it, or just somebody outside of
my own right, because it could be so much different,
It could be so much different. But we just gotta
you know, you gotta, you gotta just put your trusts
in God. You gotta believe that things are going to
work it out. Things are gonna work out. We all

(04:45):
go through seasons, we all go through storms. But I
want y'all know, like it's okay to aks for help.
God ain't place needs great people in your lives and
no reason like you can't keep overlooking them.

Speaker 1 (04:55):
Because you're so worried about tomorrow.

Speaker 2 (04:58):
Focus on the present, Focus on the right now.

Speaker 1 (05:02):
That is what's important.

Speaker 2 (05:04):
Everything else is gonna come, everything else is gonna fall
in place. But focus on what you have right now.
It's overwhelmed. Pray it's overwhelmed. Taught to God. It's overwhelming.
You need some company. I'm pulling up what's up?

Speaker 1 (05:19):
You know what I mean?

Speaker 2 (05:20):
Like forming that relationship with God, foreing that relationship with God.
Because I'm looking and I'm thinking, like I'm talking to
so many people who are just trying to carry this.

Speaker 1 (05:34):
All on they shoulders when they don't have to.

Speaker 2 (05:36):
You really don't have to carry this all on your shoulders, right,
Like you don't have to do it, So try something different,
like put your trusts in God. Give him no worries,
give him those anxieties, give him them fears, the overthinking,
the the drinking, the smoking, the over eating, whatever those
addictions are giving to God, and let him carry you

(05:58):
for you.

Speaker 1 (06:01):
Let him carry it for you.

Speaker 2 (06:04):
I was looking at Tixctock earlier today and I scrolled
past this person and she was basically saying, give your
stresses and your anxieties and your fears to God.

Speaker 1 (06:20):
Right, why are we carrying it alone?

Speaker 2 (06:23):
We don't have to carry these words like we don't
have to do it by ourself. Like I can see
that you're overem I can hear it in your voice.
I can tell that. I can tell by just a
neglect or not, you know what I mean, Like you sow.

Speaker 1 (06:41):
In your head.

Speaker 2 (06:44):
Like you don't have to do this by yourself, Like
you don't have to do this by yourself, and it's crazy,
like give us to got extra help, like you got
these people for a reason.

Speaker 1 (06:55):
I know, I I I and y'all.

Speaker 2 (07:00):
Is y'all listening? I know y'all probably be like, is
she talking about somebody? Is she not talking about somebody?
Is she just talking about somebody in general? I'm definitely
talking about a few people, right why I'm having this
conversation with y'all. I'm definitely talking about.

Speaker 1 (07:12):
A few people. But just you just sit back and
you think like it's crazy. It's crazy cause you.

Speaker 2 (07:22):
I think what it is because I'm on my healing journey,
my transformation journey journey.

Speaker 1 (07:29):
I sit back and I.

Speaker 2 (07:29):
Look and I'm listen to what people tell me, and
it gets so shocked because I was that person. I
was that person. I was going through that situation a
little bit different, a little bit different package and stuff
like that. Things like that, but I was that person.
But to see it on the other side, it's so crazy.

(07:52):
And I wish people would have told me before I
started this journey, like girls, get just on help. It's okay,
you don't gotta do this by yourself. But that ain't
always case. That ain't always the case.

Speaker 1 (08:02):
Like people like.

Speaker 2 (08:05):
I don't know, I don't know. You know what they
say third eye is hindsight.

Speaker 3 (08:13):
Or whatever they say, y'all know what I mean, But no,
I'm sorry, not third eye times like Lord have mercy
twenty twenty highs, like.

Speaker 1 (08:23):
Like if I would have.

Speaker 2 (08:29):
Known things that I did then that I know now, Oh,
it woulda definitely been different, Like it woulda definitely been different, right,
Like definitely woulda been different. But you know, you don't
have that relationship with God the way you need that.
You gonna kind of go on your own path and
he gonna let you. He gonna let you on that path.

Speaker 1 (08:49):
He gonna let you.

Speaker 2 (08:50):
Bump your head, he gonna let you be crazy, do
stupid stuff like he gonna let you. He's gonna allow
you to do all of those things with one thing
about it, two things for show.

Speaker 1 (09:01):
He know at some.

Speaker 2 (09:02):
Point you gonna call him because you gonna need his help, right,
He know that you gonna call him because you gonna
need his help.

Speaker 1 (09:11):
At some point, we all give in.

Speaker 2 (09:16):
At some point, we all give in to the resistance
of calling God and needing God.

Speaker 1 (09:22):
That's just it.

Speaker 2 (09:24):
At some point we need God. At some point we
got to have God, you know what I mean.

Speaker 1 (09:30):
So yeah, you know that's just the the truth of
the matter.

Speaker 2 (09:34):
And you know, I can't tell nobody to who they
should pray like, I can't tell nobody done that because
to 'em might have say that. But all what I'm saying,
former relationship with whoever you decide to pray to a
you know what I mean, that's show business. But just
do it like it's so much it's going on in
this world today. It is freaking crazy. It's like it's

(09:56):
just the energy is just weird and off, you know
what I mean.

Speaker 1 (09:59):
So, oh, y'all, aren't none of us gotta do this? Mom?
Like none of us gotta do this?

Speaker 2 (10:05):
Mom?

Speaker 1 (10:05):
Man, you better call your partner. Don't you better let
these mothers know? Like I ain't.

Speaker 2 (10:09):
I ain't feeling that I need some company. I need
to talk, like I need to see my people. I
need to touch you. I need to feel you whatever
that looks like, and do it because I call my
folks our plans for 'em and say, hey, I need
to see you, and I may not be I'm maybe
I'm not being one hundred percent honest's when I call
them my shoe to take da da da. But the
truth of the matter, I'm letting you know I need you.

(10:29):
I'm letting you know I need you. And it's not
always easy saying I need you. And I get that,
I get it's not easy saying I need.

Speaker 1 (10:37):
You, but you need 'em. I don't mind you.

Speaker 2 (10:42):

I need to be able to touch my people. I just
need to be able to hoog my people. You know
what I mean.

Speaker 2 (10:50):
Like I need that. But I'm not afraid to admit
that is what I need. Like I said, I my
hualing Jrunt, I'm learning so many new things about me
and things that I require and things that I just
need to make me who I am.

Speaker 1 (11:02):
You know what I mean.

Speaker 2 (11:04):
So I'm not afraid to tell people how I feel,
what I require you know what I mean, Like I'll
let you ride, you know, I'll let you write it
out just to kind of check the temperature. See how
no you gonna do you But at some point like
yeah no, yeah no, we ain't gonna be able to
you know what I mean.

Speaker 1 (11:25):
Like at some point. But that's just what it is, y'all.
That's just what it is.

Speaker 2 (11:35):
That's just what it is. It's okay to aks for help.
It's okay to tell somebody I cannot do this right now.
I just don't have that mental capacity to do this
right now. It is okay to tell somebody that, y'all.

Speaker 1 (11:52):
I promise you. It is okay to tell somebody that
like her needs cause what.

Speaker 2 (11:58):
Mm mm I I don't mind, like I don't mind,
but don't even know. It's it's still days like I
don't wanna be bother book. I'm feel like talking to nobody.
I just wanna chill, you know what I mean, Like,
of course, oh my mom, so I gotta still do
mom things. But other than like talking to you know,
just talking like I don't wanna do it.

Speaker 1 (12:16):
I don't wanna do it, and I don't do it,
you know what I mean?

Speaker 2 (12:19):
And I used to feel so bad about that, But
why I feel bad about taking a moment for myself.
It's not called selfishness, It's called selflessness. Okay, it's called selflessness.
I've been so selfish for so long, but now I'm
being I'm taking care of myself. I'm like, I'm taking
care of myself. So if that looks like I don't

(12:42):
wanna talk to nobody, I don't wanna teach. Like, no,
I don't wanna do it, you know what I mean?
Because how am I good to you? If I'm not
good to myself? You feel what I'm saying. So, yeah,
I don't know what I'm saying. Don't feel bad asking body
for some help. Please, don't feel bad for asking somebody

(13:03):
for help.

Speaker 1 (13:03):
It's it. It's never a bad thing, you know what
I mean?

Speaker 2 (13:07):

time you praying to God and you be like God, like,
