The Truth Shall Set you Free

In my opinion the hardest job while living is being a liar. One lie, turns to another falsehood because it needs support. This lie needs another lie to support it. It's an endless cycle until everything you say is untrue. Hell, all this stories you tell you could have written a book or a good screen play to a movie. But instead you decided to take the hardest job on the planet...Lying



Really! Lying has to be the hardest job. This job is dangerous (someone is liable to beat dat a$$ when they find out nothing you say is the truth), stressful (worried about who will find out about the lies you've told), time consuming (lying is 24/7, no vacation and no paid leave) and it could breaks great relationships. Let's be honest; Who wants to be with a liar? Better yet who wants to be friends with someone who lies?



What is a friend? A friend is someone who shares the same interest as you, someone you can have a good time with, and someone who you can be totally honest with, without fear that they will judge you or talk badly about you. To simplify things a friend is someone you trust.

I value friendship. If you feel you have to lie to me then just don't say anything to me at all. I don't like liars because I can't trust them. If I can't trust you I cannot consider you my friend.

The truth will really set you free. The truth cures the sleepless nights and added pressures of the world. It really does.

But as the saying goes," If you lie, you'll steal, if you'll steal, you'll kill", and I can't stick around for that.

Time to Clean House

Sigh...As they say, all good things must come to an end. With that said, the time has come, it is finally time to move out of my apartment. There are many things a person has to do to prepare for the big move. My home has to be in the same condition in which I moved in. That is nearly impossible for it to look brand new but there are things I can do to restore it to good condition. This lady here has to pack everyting I need, get rid of excess baggage, and clean house.

I'm cleaning house figuratively and literally. I'm transitioning into a new stage in my life. I really don't know what's next but i'm lightening my load so this move won't be to difficult. Whether I'm in Greensboro, Durham or Atlanta I'm only taking the things I need on this trip. I'm cleaning my house inside and out.

I'm throwing out old baggage, stress, and possibly some people I considered my friends. Keeping the necessities good friends, family, positivity, and welcoming new experiences.

Peace!

The Big Move?

I've shared with everyone that I've been feeling a bit pressured. i have a few things to sort out and time is not on my side. I just found out that I was selected for an interview in Atlanta, Ga for this AmeriCorps position. I believe the position is highly competitive but it seems like something that would suit me.

I'm all for relocating to another city but I will admit, I'm very nervous. I'm nervous about leaving the familiar and the people that I love. If i'm selected I'd leave my friends and the man that I've known and loved for nearly six years.

Change is essential to growth. Challenging yourself and being confortable in uncomfortable situations is my personal definition of growth.

I'm so excited about my interview and yet so nervous. I'm growing up and it's terrifying to think about. Please pray that everything goes well.

Blessings for all,
Brooks

Time

Feeling pressured. Received an email from my supervisor stating that he needed confirmation about if I was going to stay another year with VISTA. Honestly, I wouldn't mind doing it, I just desire higher pay. I have 30 days to find and move into a new place to stay. Time is tight for some decisions that have to be made and I don't know my next move.

However, I can say that I am truly blessed. Decisions have to be made about jobs and housing but at least I have an opportunity to decide about jobs and housing. I sometimes vent but I know things could be worse.

I have a few days and I'll continue to be aggressive about my search. Until next time...

Peace and Blessings,
Brooks
