Moving Forward

Moving on from past pains and expectations to my awaiting and blessed future. Ignoring or confronting the ignorance walking steadily toward my destiny with God as the leader of my life. This is my life, my journey and I am going my way. Deal.

It is just plain sad... well sorta anyway

I read and re-read the post comments.

I mean, yeah, I do note that men can be at any size and get a nice looking woman of any size. I did note that.

I read and re-read the post comments when it came to women of size by other women and and men.

Look. Let me say it. I do not care what your preference are. I got mine, for instance I do not date or associate with idiots or shallow people or folks who have no faith in a God . Please note that I have nothing agains Atheist, I simply do not want to nor do I choose to battle against your disbelief on the regular. Geeze. If you can move on past this need to prove to me that God/ Jesus did not exist, then hey, we can talk. I believe in Jesus and am a Christian. If you can't roll with that, then roll on. I digress.

With all of the racism and ugliness we deal with, what is the deal with attacking each other about size? We all know that people are not just sitting down to eat cause they are hungry, you know that you too yeah you Mr and Mzs I am living in the gym occassionally eat or do some other habit that others would not smile about to relieve stress. Don't front with me.

I am not angry that folks got their preferences, but I am no less a human being or deserving of love or care than anyone else. I have been through some things in my life, and that ain't a excuse that is the truth. I handled it the way I thought was best when I was young. As I come to terms with stuff though it is becoming easier for me to catch myself and break that habit.

In our communities we look the other way when crap goes down. Somebody selling on the corner look the other way. Some uncle or cuzzin feeling up on young girls and boys, look the other way. Somebody 35 impregnating a 13-17 year old girl and got many of them gurls preggers, look the other way. Somebody beating the hell out of their spouse, look the other way. We can stand and watch each other cry and then turn our heads and You Got It look the other way. This painful crap hurts and people cope the best way they can. Some folks ain't got medical insurance, and as a people we are not known for taking even our crazy folk we know need help to the counselor's office. It is hard for us to admit that we need that kind of help.

Too many of us want the feeling of being better than another person, but I guarantee that I can pull back that cover, or your folks can and reveal to you your ugly side. To me, a person carrying weight is too much of a people pleaser, and are afrai, hiding from life cause they have been hurt to the core of who they are. They do not trust themselves and have little to no love for themselves. yes, I am full figured and I am getting healthier by going to the gym and by dealing with/ praying to remove demons that I thought I defeated a long time ago. You may not know the why, but to try to make folks more ashamed of the results of the shame and pain rather than talking to them or praying for them makes them worse not better. Yeah, attacking folks hurt, trying to shame them really works too. *waiting for you to remember how it felt to be attacked by someone who cared about you and how you reacted and then how you dealt with the same issue when someone offered you support. are you ready now? let's move along*

I read and then re-read the comments. I became sad about it.

Then in typical Kita/ Enigma fashion my brain said a loud "Ph*% 'em" Negroes doing what negroes do. If there should not be a crab in a barrel they will create one. If there should be a rope dropped down to help you up too many of your folks will drop down a noose for your neck to hang yourself. Yeah it is a shame it is this way, but it is. Deal. In the end, you gotta love some folks from a distance and keep the folks who would rather watch you fall outta your path. Well really out of your sky. Chickens peck babe, you may be a big one, gotta stop on a lot more branches to rest, but dang if you ain't an eagle flying. It's true but LOL. How bout that, huh?

A mind is a great thing to have. Joy that comes from God that nobody can remove is a blessing at all times.

Ok I am past being sad. I will pray for these folks. Like I have said about family and friends on occasion, I pray that God builds a hedge around them so that they will never feel the pain and hurt that they smirk and pick at when they see someone who has weight on them. I also pray that they will learn to uplift rather than come armed with popcorn to scorn and pitch barbs and past judgment on folks they really do not know nor understand.

In other words, get a heart or borrow one from someone. Do it soon. Yours is beating out a kinda poison. Choose to thrive and help others do the same.

Ummm. Good luck with that, mmmk?
