(You Brought Out) The Worst In Me

Having a mate or significant other can be delightful. You support one another, set goals and encourage one another to do better in all areas of your life. However, the relationship can be dreadful if it is with the wrong individual.

Sometimes someone else's situation reminds of something I have gone through and sometimes I place myself in their shoes to see things from their perspective. The R&B singer Tyrese has a song called "Best of Me", I decided to write my version titled "(You Brought Out)The Worst In Me".

What a task it was to be loved by you

Suppose to be my best friend, but that was not true

You did everything you could, to break me down

But did whatever it took to keep me around baby

It felt like the weight of the world was on my shoulders

'Cause of your conditional love baby that's why

You brought out the worst in me, every day I was so angry

And if I had to do it again, I wouldn't choose to boy

You brought out the worst in me, cause you were not right for me

Tried to ruin my life, every day and every night boy I cried

There were times when I felt unsure and my judgment was obscured

and with you by my side I was an unhappy girl, Hey yeah

It felt like the weight of the world was on my shoulders

'Cause of your conditional love baby that's why

You brought out the worst in me, every day I was so angry

And if I had to do it again, I wouldn't choose to boy

You brought out the worst in me, cause you were not right for me

I want you to know it's not the end of my world, I did all I could

I did my best as your girl

So I stand up and shout to the world

He's the worst, He's the worst

So I moved on with my life and I'm doing fine I point to the sky and say it was God, God

Cause he gave peace of mind, mind

God's the best, God's the best...but

You brought out the worst in me, every day I was so angry

And if I had to do it again, I wouldn't choose to boy

You brought out the worst in me, cause you were not right for me

You brought out the worst in me, every day I was so angry

And if I had to do it again, I wouldn't choose to boy

You brought out the worst in me, cause you were not right for me

Life is too short to spend time with people who suck the happiness out of you. Never let anyone take away your happiness. YOU determine how someone will treat you. People will only do to you what you allow. When you are going through something, Push Until Something Happens (PRAY) and ask God for guidance. He will always be there and he will see you through.

I hope this helps someone!!!!

Help! My Parents Drive Me Crazy

A few years ago, I created a Facebook group for children of Black and Brown parents called “Help! My Parents Drive Me Crazy.” The purpose of this group is to provide a safe, supportive space where adolescents aged 14 and up can connect, share experiences, and discover strategies for navigating adolescence, young adulthood, middle adulthood, and beyond. People from all walks of adolescence and young adulthood are welcome to join, creating a community where we can learn, grow, and support one another . This is a positive, uplifting space — no bashing is allowed. Here, we lift each other up, share our journeys, and celebrate the joys and challenges of growing up and living life as a brown child or young adult. You will find understanding, encouragement, and connection as you navigate the journey of being yourself. Discussion Topics Include: Navigating parent-child relationships Communication strategies with parents Identity, culture, and heritage Buildi...

Week 1: Before I Was Mom, I Was His

Remembering Your Identity Beyond Roles Scripture: “Do not fear, for I have redeemed you; I have summoned you by name; you are mine.” — Isaiah 43:1 Reflection: Before motherhood, before the sleepless nights, before the endless tasks and responsibilities, you were known. You were loved. You were God’s. Motherhood is sacred and life-changing, but it can also quietly blur our sense of self. Over time, it’s easy to measure your value by what you do; diapers changed, meals prepared, schedules kept. And while these acts of love are meaningful, they are not the totality of who you are. God calls you first and foremost by your name, not your role. You are His beloved daughter, fearfully and wonderfully made. This week, we begin by remembering that identity. The part of you that exists beyond caregiving, beyond tasks, beyond roles. Wellness Insight: Wellness begins with presence and awareness. When you recognize that your worth is not ti...

Happy 10th Birthday Nyasia

It was a cold February day. I recall being at work and talking to my friend/coworker "Medina". I told her that my menstrual cycle was late and I needed to go to Duane Reade during lunch. That day I took a total of four pregnancy test. I needed to make sure because of a previous experience I had with her sister Tereya. When I was pregnant with Tereya, I also took three test. The results were not accurate. One was positive, two were negative and finally a positive blood test. There is no need for me to elaborate, we all know how the story ended. Lol! September 8th, is a very special day. God blessed me with my second daughter one decade ago today. I remember that night as if it were yesterday. If it were up to the ER physician, Nyasia would have been born in the elevator or the sidewalk. My Ob/Gyn was performing a c-section and he barely made it in time to deliver my baby. Dr. Kuno handed me this little tiny baby with the big beautiful eyes. She was born at 12:56am...
