(00:02):
So I haven't been on here inforever, and now I'm here. I
hope you welcome me back on airas I am right here just in front
of you, missing you, lovingyou, don't know what to do with
you, type of love that wehave. You know, we've been in

(00:23):
this funk for a while and I'vegone through so many things. I've gone
through so much that I forgot aboutmyself. You know, I know that
everybody is just trying to figure itall out. And I know that everybody
is just trying to get a gripon what is and what is not supposed

(00:46):
to be and what it's supposed tobe. Everything is not about no all
the time. It's time to startsaying yes to your future, Yes to
a better future. Yes I'm comingup. Yes I'm gonna do better.
Yes I am doing better. Thatis the key to life, Just knowing

(01:08):
that you are doing the best thatyou can. That's all you can do.
Every day is a new day.Take one day at a time.
That's all you can do. That'sall we need to do. That's all
you need to just focus on rightnow. And you know, guys,

(01:30):
I've been chasing people down to geton the show that I really am very
adamant about I had a dream about, I've dreamt about. And sometimes it's
not about their story, it's aboutyour story because you matter. Does that

(01:52):
make sense? You matter? AndI just want you to know that I
truly understand what it means to goquiet, to stay still, to be

(02:12):
in stillness, to be or tofeel like you are gone to hell and
back. You know what I mean. We've gone through so many things in
our life, in our lifetime,and sometimes we just don't know what to

(02:38):
do with it. We don't knowwhere to go with it. And I
don't want to talk too long.I know that I haven't been on air
in a very long time, andI know you're looking for like shocking words,
but listen, I was chasing peopledown, celebrities down right, trying
to get them on the show.Had a very close encounter in getting them

(03:00):
on the show, and you know, shout out to Drake. You know,
we only know our connection. Butanyway, the thing is, I
just want you to understand that I'vebeen trying to do this thing big and
I said, well, you know, something just dawned on me one day

(03:23):
and just came over me and saidwhy not talk about yourself, not talk
about yourself, but like, letit be about you, because Angel,
you've gone away, you stepped awayfrom the show for almost years now,
and this is the thing people missedyou. People were looking for you,

(03:49):
just like you were looking for them. We were looking for each other,
and that's why we're here. We'rehere to spark each other's firework. We
all have it lying on the inside, but somebody has to set that thing
on fire. And sometimes the onlymotivator that you have is yourself. I

(04:11):
know it's hard to believe. Iknow it's hard to understand, but we
have to understand that our story isbetter than anybody else's out there, because
nobody knows your story better than you, and Guys, I want to be
transparent with you. I went completelycatatonic. I was gone through so much

(04:33):
anxiety. I plummeted big time.I went down. If you don't know
what that means, I went downa hole, a shithole, and it
was so hard to come back upfrom it. I went to four different
hospitals, mental hospitals, not justany old regular hospital, but a mental

(04:59):
hospital where they had to cater tomy mind even when I felt like I
was losing it when I felt thatwas the end of all I started out
in Florida when I lost my beachhome. Not only did I lose my
beach home, I lost my husband, meaning he's still alive, but he's

(05:20):
dead in my life because we gota divorce. Do we maintain a friendship?
Yes we do, and that's allthat matters to me. Next subject,
not only did I lose my minddamn near, but I lost my
show and that's what took me overthe tip. That's what tipped over the

(05:42):
whole basket because my show meant everything. I had a radio show, and
it meant everything to me, guys, because it means that I get to
have a connection with you. Itmeans that I get to be connected with
you. It means that you know, we get to talk. Even if
I don't get to touch you,if you're not tangible, I'm able to

(06:06):
still have some kind of leeway wherewe get to see each other. We
don't have to see each other,no, but we can hear each other,
hear each other out. Because men, times have been hard. And
what does it mean to go catatonic? Go completely silent, completely quiet?

(06:29):
I was not talking to you guys. I lost it all. I mean,
I lost my religion, everything youcould think of. I lost it.
I lost my sex drive, andthat's not me because I have a
high libido. I'm letting you inon this because I want you to hear
me out. I have been completelyout of it. I didn't use my

(06:50):
phone for a year. I wouldn'teven use social media for it, like
almost a year. I wouldn't evenshow my face on anything, let alone
show my face out in public.I was completely glued to my bed.
They wanna call it depression, butI didn't call I didn't go through depression
because I told them, don't labelme. I don't like to. I

(07:12):
don't like labels. But they endup labeling me anyway, and it hurt
me even worse because I'm like,man, do you really think that's who
I am? Do you understand whatI'm saying? Everything they want to put
on paper, But they don't wannacall you crazy. I'd rather you call
me crazy than all these other namesthat I didn't understand. But I had
to do my research and we'll talkabout that later. But you know,

(07:41):
any name you could think of theycalled me. They had several names for
me, and I'm like, whoa. It's like I'm hooked up to a
machine with all these lines on meand nobody's and nobody's really checking for me.
But really, you know, justwhat they think. They don't really
know me. People think they knowyou. I don't care who you are.
I don't care if you're talking toa therapist. People think they know

(08:01):
you, but the only person thatknows you is you. So back again,
We're gonna circle back to this subject. It just dawned on me and
said, hey, get on andgo capture your audience again because they've been
missing you and you've been missing them. Because that was what broke my heart
the worst when I was disconnected fromyou. From all over the world,

(08:26):
I've had an audience and you,guys, I wouldn't have done this without
you. I would fire to inspire, would not be what it is today
without you. So I owe youthat much respect because you took the time
out to hear me out when noone else was listening, and you know
who you are. Thank you iswhat I want to say. Thank you

(08:48):
for being there when no one elsewas listening. Because it's hard to find
good listeners sometimes, especially when youtalk too much. But anyway, I'm
not gonna hold you. I justwanted to say thank you, I love
you, I miss you immensely,and that a lot of things broke me.

(09:13):
I went from a hospital from Floridaall the way to California, back
in the state of Mississippi. Thenturn around, I'm back in my own
place again. I was living withmy parents. Felt like I was a
huge burden on them. You talkabout imposter syndrome, feeling like I wasn't

(09:37):
enough, I warn't gonna mount anything. And when I was in Florida,
I remember saying, is this it? I'm never gonna get out of this
place? And if I can getout, how can I get out?
Because I felt like I was nevergonna get out of that place. I
felt like I was never gonna Itjust was like a never ending hell that
I was in, and I waslike, how can I get out of
this four bux? How can youescape? How can I get out of

(09:58):
these four walls? I mean,how can you escape? How can you
escape something that you did not evenknow what's happening to you? And if
you know what it means to gocrazy, my gosh, I feel for
you because I went there and Icouldn't even put a name on it.

(10:20):
I couldn't put a label on it. I didn't understand it. I couldn't
comprehend it. It broke me downto a point where I didn't want to
do my hair. I didn't wantto fix my hair. I don't want
to put on makeup. And that'snot me, if you know me,
I love my I love to keepup my hair, and I love to

(10:41):
look good period. I don't givea damn if I'm single or not single,
married or not married. I loveto keep up myself and I wasn't
doing that. I completely lost myselfafter losing you. I lost myself and

(11:01):
that's the top of the tear thattipped the cake over. When you lose
yourself, you've lost it all.So, no, my birthday is not

(11:22):
in vain. I know this issupposed to be timeless and we're not supposed
to talk about time, but listen, it's my birthday. And no,
I'm not actually recording this on mybirthday. I'm just letting you know that
this is let me tell you todayso you can all be in this together.
I just came back from Atlanta.Actually today is November twenty seventh,

(11:46):
and I'm doing a pre recording formy birthday because I feel like every day
is my birthday, but I celebratethe whole month of January my birthday.
I was born on Martin Luther King'sbirthday. Let freedom ring, Woo woo.
But at the same time, it'stime to free ourselves from bondage from
a prison that we put ourselves inthe mind that we don't have to be

(12:09):
in anymore. I saw so manyvisions. I saw so many things that
were so bad. I didn't seea lot of good, and that was
the worst part about it. Ihad to choose to get up, get
my ass up, and believe thatthere's something better that I had to get

(12:31):
myself up and have to walk throughsomething that I didn't even understand, didn't
want to, couldn't wrap my handsaround it. It was too big.
But now that I have a grip, I'm back on here and I just
want to say I want you tohelp me celebrate my life because I almost

(12:52):
lost it. That was the nextstep, but we didn't even go there
because I'm here for a reason.And if you've ever struggle through any kind
of mental disorder, personality disorder.I feel for you. I understand you
clearly, because everybody, all ofus do. We just don't talk about

(13:15):
it. We're not deep enough aboutit. We don't understand it. We're
not really talking about it. Wedon't understand it enough to explain ourselves.
Sometimes you have to talk to yourselfto get to get to know who you
really are. Speak out loud,sometimes even if you feel crazy, because

(13:39):
how else would you get to knowyourself if you don't talk to yourself,
you don't look at your stuff inthe mirror and say, you know what,
I don't think I'm ugly, Ithink I'm beautiful. How else would
you know that? If you don'ttell yourself that, how else would you
get past any kind of trauma inyour life? If you don't decide to
get up from it? Does thatmake any sense to you? We have

(14:03):
to decide, we have to makea decision, a pertinent decision that we
have to understand that our lives areimperative to change for only the good.
I know we've gone through so manythings, so many heartaches, nights and

(14:31):
days of crime. When somebody says, cry me a river, no baby,
I cried an ocean, and doI miss the ocean? When you
lose the ocean. I lost theocean. I lost my my heaven.

(14:56):
I felt like I was in onearth. That's when my heart flooded.
And somebody saying, Angel, whatare you talking about? You're going too
deep. Now, what are youtalking about? I'm saying, I lost

(15:16):
myself. That's the worst thing thatyou can do. Now. The next
step is when you lose the ocean, you've lost your breath to breathe.
Because if you've ever been by theocean on vacation, and a lot of
us have, you've been to thebeach, you understood what I'm talking about.
But when you I lived in Destinand that water was so clear,

(15:39):
so beautiful, so blue as day. You could see straight through it.
And it was so peaceful to goto deston Florida. And you know,
I when I lost the ocean,when I lost my beach home, I
lost the peace of my heart andit flooded. My heart flooded because I

(16:04):
mean, I didn't understand why Ihad to lose the one thing that gave
me all the piece and tranquility inthe world. So some of us have
lost something of value that we neverunderstood why. And that's okay. Some

(16:25):
of us have physically lost so manypeople since the pandemic has happened, too,
and I feel for you and myheart goes out to you. We've
lost loved ones that we didn't understand. Sometimes it got really hard, you

(16:45):
know what I mean. But aswe celebrate my life, I want you
to remember to celebrate your life byrewarding yourself. Every time you feel like
you've hit a milestone, every timeyou feel like you know what, I've
done something good today, go celebratethat. Guys, your life is too
precious. It's too precious to wastea way. If I could do it

(17:11):
all over again, I would havejust got in my car and drove while
I had the key. I didn'tdrive my car for a year. Just
let it go to waste. Don'tlet your life go to waste, because
it might be too late if youever, just try to get back on
the train again. That tried it, That just ran you over. I

(17:34):
understand it. I feel like atrain ran over me these last couple of
years. Okay, I was atrain wreck. But now I know,
I know, and you know me. I know the goodness of God.
I understand it clearly now, andI have nothing to say but thank you.

(17:59):
Nothing else. I've done my hallelujahsevery time I go back to church.
And that was another thing. Ididn't go back to church for like
years unless it was a funeral.And that's the worst time to go,
because why do you want to celebratedeath when you need to be celebrating your
life. That's what it's all about. That's what religion should be about.
If you're gonna pick one celebration.So I'm gonna end this night and make

(18:29):
sure tonight you party with a purpose. I don't care if you turn your
music up loud and have the policecome to your house and knock on the
door and say, hey, ma'am, turn that down for us. Get
it so loud that you can't ifyou just dadge the night away naked or
with clothes on, I don't care. Put it on your birthday suit and
celebrate with angle tonight because we aregonna have a good time. That's all

(18:52):
that matters. I really really loveyou. Thank you for listening, because
sometimes it's all you need in yourlife. I wish you well, I
wish you the best endeavors
