LET THAT SHIT GO!
A Social Media Rant
By LTJ
Yes Let That
Shit Go! I was sitting here going down my time line on social media noticing
some foolishness from my so called "friends" and wanted to comment. I
read some derogatory comments on a few public posts regarding politics and
wanted to respond. I replied to a few comments on my own posts and felt the
need to state some of my words of wisdom that was well beyond the scope of the
comment. While thinking of inserting my opinion of my "friend' post, I
decided it wasn't worth it. While I found myself wanting to respond with a
clever come back to a racist, I found myself shrugging it off. When I
started going in too deep on the comment on my post, I found myself deleting and
just sticking to the basics. Today I realized I had to let that shit go! Hence
the reason for my Facebook post below
I finally
realize if it doesn't affect me personally, why should I allow it to affect my
person. Why allow another grown person's immaturity impact my life? Why
should I allow a racist asshole ruin my spirit? Why should I interject myself
in a situation that no one asked my opinion, advice or assistance? Just
keep the response simple and keep it moving. I have to learn to
"Stay In My Lane" (that will be another blog post). Stop
allowing others actions or inactions affect me. If my spirit isn't vexed
to intercede then I am not going to take lead on their issues. It is hard
but necessary for my personal mental, spiritual, physical and financial growth.
I am getting to old to continue to be burden down with issues that has
absolutely nothing to do with me. Therefore, in my laymen terms, if it ain't
affecting my life none, then ain't none of my damn business.
My goals are
Peace, Love and Happiness. It sounds cliché but its a necessity at this point
in my life. I can no longer subject myself to another grown adult's
personal issues. I don't want to see others fail but I learned that through
failures you will learn what to do or what not to do. Grown folks are
going to do what makes them happy and I have to be ok with that. I need to keep
my spirit in check despite what's going on around me. From now own I
will mind my business unless God moves me or I'm ask for my opinion.
Until then I'm going to Let That Shit Go!
