That's what I thought. It's not bad or good, it's just the way we are. Don't assign too much value to it, just know you are the way you are and you are not alone. You had no choice in it either. You responded to the environment you were in and developed into who you needed to be to survive. The brain will erase one's memories so they don't go crazy with trauma. Do you remember your childhood in connective streams or spots?

For example, I only remember parts of memories. I remember very little of my childhood and it's all a blur with the occasional clear incomplete picture. On the other hand, I can remember food orders from 3 years ago. I can tell you what I wore on a date years ago. I remember conversations word for word without trying to memorize them. It's how the brain copes with severe trauma as a child, since it can't make sense of it, it will erase it. It's crazy.

Dreams aren't always dreams. They can be memories we forgot. We can't escape ourselves though, so these memories show themselves when our subconscious brain takes the lead. During sleep, being high, when we're worked up, etc.

I dated a girl who fought in her sleep. She had no idea why. She fought hard in her sleep. She only chilled when I hugged her hella tight. She'd grab me back or scoot real close. Then be still. She didn't even know she did it. Later she remembered she was sexually abused by a family member. It didn't stop until her mom re-married and she got a big bro who protected her.
I remember everything when it's personal and holds importance. I've had reoccurring De ja vu since a child. I still get it. Just not as often.

I'm a very nostalgic person. I can remember details and specifics to things others forgot. I can place people and familiarity. I'm really good with placing faces and studying features/faces. I can tune out things rather easily and naturally however it's a choice. At the same token if something is traumatic to me or someone couldve done something to me many years ago, I'll always remember it specifically when they think its over and done with. Especially if they didn't right their wrong in a way I'm satisfied with. I hold serious grudges. I've been trying to resist them because it's not healthy and it's toxic.

Spectacular article on the post weinstein and the female rage...
We Are All Implicated in the Post-Weinstein Reckoning

Well written and I placed a snippet
The truth is, the risk of exposure that makes us feel anxious about the well-being of our male friends and colleagues — the risk of being named and never recovering — is one of the only things that could ever force change. Because without real, genuine penalties on the line, without generations of men fearing that if they abuse their power, if they treat women like shyt, they’ll be out of jobs, shamed, their families devastated — without that actual, electric, dangerous possibility: Nothing. Will. Change.

I have to be the only cook who cooks damn near 100 plates a night and forgets to eat and drink. I haven't eaten or drink anything other than a glass of water and a strip of bacon I ate to sample my new recipe for the menu. I figured out how to make perfect bacon, on the hop, in 4-6 minutes.

I live in a fukking food desert too. I don't cook for myself because when I cook I make everything from scratch. I don't do drive-throughs because I like to see my food being prepared. Also, avewrage wait time is like ten minutes. I can serve a lot of fresh hand prepared food in ten minutes. I'm talking prepped, cooked, plated fancy, and delivered to your table in about ten minutes. So to me, spending 20-30 dollars on fast food isn't worth it. I can spend that same money on materials or at a spot I know will handle my food well and quickly.

For 30 dollars I could make enough food to last a week or two in under 30 minutes. I time how long it takes me to make every ticket. So I know exactly how long it takes me to do everything in a kitchen. I even make my own fukking mayonnaise and pickles. The only thing I don't make in the fukking bread, fig spread, olives, and mustard. I do make my own olive oil.

I'm fukking starving. Of course, I don't keep food in the house because I'm a bouge ass nikka. The only option is to drink water and take an appetite suppressant. I love my supplements.

I think I'm avoiding getting shyt done too much. I know I'm close to graduating, it's just like being a plane that's low on fuel for the end of the semester.
I haven't played video games in The past week. I really haven't been interested in gaming lately. Been using it as a distraction from my priorities. And that aint wavy....

She replied "What the bloody hell?:dahell: If you don't get out of here with your 50 millimeter wanker...."

Hopefully with my time off next semester I can manage to finally take more jiujitsu classes. I been on the path for a long while and it's like, I'm so close to the goal, but my energy is getting low. I could have the world if I make myself give a fukk. I had enough of sitting around, I wont do this bullshyt all over again. Imma be gone for as long as possible. I need to just cut everything off and hit the ground running.
Throw everything into campus events and weight loss. I'm done with sitting around. Especially on here, if I'm not posting anything significant I don't need to be on here ..

Mariah Carey can still has it.



The engineers helped her a bit, but her voice is so strong you can tell she could have given a lot more. She killed that fukking hook. Reminded me of Selena, Mary, and Mariah in her prime.

Shout out to Rick Ross. I'm starting to see his vision. Dude has some legit RNB collabs in his collection. He should consider making a duets albums for the grown and sexy. Sorry with Chris Brown is pretty good. I really like this song because it's Mariah Carey over MODERN mixing and mastering. She blew the walls off my room. I had to wake the block up and hook her up to the sound system. I fast forwarded through all Ross's verses to get to the hook. LOL.

The singers I grew up on are special man. There may never be another crop like them artists. The modern vocalists is aided heavily by technology. Back in the day you had to have it and a dope ass production team. Or supreme talent.

Chris Brown is fire though. He just needs to settle the fukk down. I love the content of his music. He speaks for the savage and romantic in me. He's not the best singer, but I like his voice a lot. The content of his songs are next level. His new album is fire. This nikka did what I thought no artist could do. The Beatles and The Beach Boys couldn't release a double-disc album that was hot. Well, Breezy did it.

CB dropped 45 tracks on the world. I listened to the whole project. Joe Budden was right. From track 10 on it's fukking fire. 1-10 is definitely for the children. I think he has like six songs about drowning in a woman's cum and sweat, fukking her so good she calls in to work, and fukking her so long she gets a headache. Something about being a side nikka, embracing it, and having a main. LMAO, dude is singing my life. He explores everything on my mind right now.

We don't fukk girl we consume them. Every inch and bit of them.

It's crazy to know you're bad for someone who's good for you. I've never heard someone write a song about that. CB really covered shyt I've never heard in music before. Things I think about a lot TBH. I'm really feeling this album. Might be one of my GOATS. It's romantic and grimey. I love this shyt, it has a feel to it I haven't felt in a while.

"I was going to change your life girl but I don't want to break your heart."
:wow:

Hurt The Same defines 2017 for me.
