Look After Yourself

If you don’t look after yourself, then who will?

Is it me, or does it seem like so many people are needy? Like the type of needy where they are associating themselves with people that they so-called couldn’t stand because they were thought to be childish and clingy. 

But they would rather shrink themselves and be with them then be alone.

The other day, a friend of mine sent me a picture of a group of people who used to talk so badly about each other, but now, all of a sudden, they’re friends. But I noticed that they are all with each other because they have nothing better going on.

So, instead of elevating themselves, they have chosen to stay where they are because that place is comfortable and familiar, not to mention it’s also the bottom of the barrel.

These women have chosen to go to restaurants and each other’s homes to twerk rather than act like they have sense. 

As I looked at the pictures and videos that were sent to me, I couldn’t help but think that most of these women are mothers and wives. Not to be confused with mothers that put their kid’s best interests first or wives that are worth a damn. 

It’s so obvious that they formed a friendship because no one decent wants to hang out the way they do and conduct themselves in public as they do. 

So they allowed this needy nature to take over and sink to the lowest of low together!

They are genuinely choosing not to look after themselves, and because of how foolish they look, I’m motivated more than ever to continue to look after myself.

How I’m Looking After Me Today

I will be moving my recent Spelman graduate into her dorm today so she can complete her dual degree in Environmental Engineering. Then, my husband and I will enjoy a nice steak dinner by candlelight as we sip on a glass of red wine.

On Saturday, my husband, daughter, and I will journey to my son’s college to watch his preseason football practice.

How are y’all looking after yourself this weekend?

Oh, and in case you don’t know what twerking is, here ya go. I hate this damn dance so much!

You could have chosen any blog to read, but you chose mine, and I’m honored!

  4. It took me so long to get this….I still put some ahead of me, but during COVID Lululemon had these really great Zoom like meets, talking training, some yoga, but a lot of this…one exersize we were told to do was make a list of 5 people we worry about….my store was closed, and seriously that didn’t make a difference, it was 3 of my employees/coworkers/friends, and two of my kids…..yes, one of them would have been the sixth….but when we were done, the speaker asked why none of us listed ourselves?……but yes, we should be a part of the equation…and actually thinking about it, when I ran the store my list was always,…..staff, customers, store, employer, and then me……

  7. Is desperate housewives a bit like that? I have never actually watched it, just read some reviews. The title says it all. I had some school buddies who never developed out of their Marihuana stupor phase. I guess they never even got to the wife and mother stage, sad.

    We are having a cosy weekend. I will be writing, while my husband is watching the Olympic handball games. Denmark hopes to bring home two medals. I will spoil us with good food. The garden has to wait, it is storming outside. Cosy and relaxed.

    I wish you and your family a great weekend!

  9. Have fun with your family! Yes, taking care of yourself is so vital and people are definitely clingy sometimes. I think a lot of people need to learn to be more independent and enjoy time alone.

  12. first, great question. Due to the fact that I wasn’t taught better I was in a fog of anger for years because I held other people responsible for my well-being. I snapped out of that when I continously found myself in situations where people ( men) promised to help me but backed out. One day I looked myself in the mirror and said, ” girl no one is responsible for you but you “. Ever since I have been grinding to make life happen and it’s been good.
