yea... THAT just happened.

2nd day of work... I thought I was that teacher in Dangerous Minds (aha! I'm old school, don't get it twisted... as I walk through the valley of the shadow...) anyjuey, these kids are angry. I wonder what it is that they see at home--- a lot of my sisters are social workers so I can't help but analyze-- but seriously, I was not an angry child. And I was bullied, as in I had even a song of me and I used to get hit in the face with the dodge ball... YEA. So what did Ms. Fanny do ? (that's what they call me) she put on her serious I am not kidding with you face, and we played some civilized Uno. haha yes, love it.

Along with my topic of being ok with what you can control...

CLOSURE
How do we get it? What exactly does it do for us?
I was thinking of this all day, on the train, walking through the streets of Harlem... and frankly, closure is not gained from talking to the other party. How does that make you feel better? By talking you are simply trying to find an option to the answer you already had when the dreadful thought of THE END came into your head. Closure is not gained because the other party clarified the big question mark that didn't let you sleep for days, oh no, closure is only gained when YOU are ready to accept the situation. The interaction with the other party is only going to do a combination of the following: give you more illusions, confuse you more, add on to the maybes you already created, make you angry, or simply make you feel like poop. You don't need that. Trust. And so, closure is yet another moment in time that is created by the soul... let the soul heal, and it will do just that.

Random Tuesday!

One of the younger girls about age 5 ran to my table crying bc she cut her finger, and I take out the first aid kit. I go to disinfect it first and my fellow counselor tells her oh its going to burn! she starts to cry... why do kids cry without knowing? I'm going to try that but with something good, like a candy. See if they cry.

I saw a man pushing another man in a shopping cart up a hill... ponder that.

I over heard a mother who had to be in her 30s tell her teenage daughter that she should eat McDonald's for lunch now that she had a new job... talk about - So that's why so many kids are obese before the age of 20.

Love. Mind. Body y Soul.

p.s. listen to A keys Wreckless love... If I could play an instrument I would go for the drums.
