That is unfair or Why me


Let me share a personal story with you that was very painful for me to experience. It was a few years back when I was working a full and part time job while attending college full time and did I mention being a full time parent of two young daughters!!! I lived in a 2 bedroom apt on Shadeland ave in the ghetto. My whip at the time was a blue mini van. Yes my life was hectic and in constant turmoil to put it mildly.
Here is the thing that hurt my heart. I knew that light was at the end of my tunnel once I got that darn college degree because I promise I was 30 cents from having a quarter back in them days. I had no family in Indianapolis so I had to depend on myself 100%. My apt had no renters insurance because I was suppose to post up on the 3rd floor but I was switched at the last moment during move in time and straight forgot to get the renters protection. But check it, I requested that maintenance come place locks on my windows--ONLY WHEN i WAS AT HOME!!!. Needless to say they came and moved my items out of the apt and then locked the door back. I mean they took my clothes, computer, shoes, barber equipment and even took my bible?? I was so upset because getting robbed is a hopeless feelings. Similar to loosing a loved one in death. There ain't nothing you can do. I wanted to scream to the world, "That is unfair or Why me--- but who really cared besides me. More importantly why shouldn't it have been me.
I mean I did not want to get robbed but I lost material items, I still have my life and kids were not harmed. I just learned that I should have paid a little more coin and have an up graded dwelling spot. It could have been worse or it could have been totally someone else. I choose to hold my head up and keep moving forward and be thankful 4 what I had. It was very hard -but it was the best decision I made during that time. I since got that coveted Business/Communication Bachelors degree, had a new home built and got several nice whips. My point is this....the way situations start out is how they end. Example: If you are yelling at someone from the jump-when yall walk away, you are still yelling. In my case, if I kept holding on to getting robbed, I may still be in the hood screaming Why me, but instead I am writing this blog that you are reading. You feelz me? Besides, you know I loves you. So quit "your" complaining because life happens whether you deserve it or not, Karma don't live on the East side, "BUT" reality has a nice piece of real estate in the game of life with a great big flashy FOR SALE sign in the front yard, dont worry if you can't afford it cause because it has budgets for eeerbody.....

Eye am WARd......
