"And In Conclusion": My Farewell Letter to Foolery & Malarkey


"It feels right. But its emotional. Saying goodbye to anything you've done that long is hard..."
-Angela Ruggiero
 
Dear Foolery & Malarkey,
 
What a ride we've had together!!! In the beginning, I didn't know you all that well...  I mean, I'd see you around, doing your thing... Wrecking havoc, causing chaos & confusion, the usual... I always tried to keep my distance from you because of the damage I had seen you do, but you ALWAYS find a way to introduce yourself when least expected...
 
Oh, foolery!!!!!  The friendships you've damaged!!! You've always been able to disguise yourself so well & oftentimes, I let you slip on in without even knowing...  I let you get in my ear & fill my head with monkey-shit and before i even KNEW it, I was involved in beef & had ill-feelings that had caused irreparable damage... Foolery, you've been in the midst of me making some TERRIBLE choices and I see you for what you really are...
 
Foolery & malarkey, you will no longer have a place in my life... Oh, I'm sure that you're gonna try and pop in every now & then, but as far as I'M concerned, I don't fool with you like that anymore... I wanna upgrade, boo... In order to that, I must bid you ado...
 
In conclusion, I can't say that I wish you well because i know that you're a design of the devil... I CAN say that I'm stronger, wiser, & better... And ain't nobody got time for your mess... Deuces!
 
Sincerely,
Jennifer ;)
 
'Til next time... XoXoXo

Come one, come all!!! Let me upgraaaaaade you!!!

The fact that you are even reading this speaks VOLUMES to me...  See, I have alot to say... I always have, even when I didn't really know what I SHOULD be saying... Many times, we talk about STUFF, but that stuff has no substance...  I think that I just may have found some substance, ya'll... I am NOT perfect.  I've never thought that I was & I've come to accept that I never will be... I'm perfectly imperfect ... However, I have spent MANY years of my young adult life striving to present the image of perfection...  I mean, c'mon ya'll... It is just an image at the end of the day... This "quest" for perfection has taken me down some winding, sometimes drastically dark roads. But, without that quest I wouldn't have the testimony that I have today. My voice could very well be your voice... Maybe it's your sister's voice... A cousin... An old college roomate or the chick next door.  I've gone though so many monemts of my like

Oh, I've Got Time Today, Honty... Yaaaaaaaas...

"A winner rebukes and forgives; a loser is too timid to rebuke and too petty to forgive."  -Sydney J. Harris I'ma just jump right in & start with the fact that if your success comes at the demise of others, you really ain't winning. That is not what God loves, and you know it... I wish no ill-will on none of these local jokers, but that savage-life bullshit gone get alot of these folks caught up in some awful situations... That saddens me because so many of life's trials and tribulations can be avoided by just making better choices & simply doing what's right... Baby, THAT'S what God loves...  I had a moment this past week... Ya'll know, I really try to refrain from being involved in stereotypical Facebook shit... The norm: beefing with chicks, beefing with family, beefing with bm/bd, calling folks out & putting them on blast... ALLLLLLLL THAT malarky... I try to use the 'Book as a positive outlet & source of encouragement fr

The "Queen of Detachment" is Relinquishing Her Throne

Yep, I said it... I'm finally stepping down... The "Queen of Detachment" is no more... *sighs* detachment [dɪˈtætʃmənt] n 1. indifference to other people or to one's surroundings; aloofness 2. (Psychology) freedom from self-interest or bias; disinterest 3. the act of disengaging or separating something 4. the condition of being disengaged or separated; disconnection I've always prided myself on my ability to detach myself from ANY situation...  I tried to look at it as a gift & a curse, but all along it was only just a curse...  It was my defense mechanism, my way of protecting myself from getting hurt.  All along I was hurting myself more and even worse, hurting people who cared about me. I guess you can peg it as the "love 'em & leave 'em" syndrome...  I'd let people get close, whether for a brief moment or a designated season, and just like THAT I'd detach myself completely... I mean, no phone
