SHUT UP & JUST LISTEN

DON`T B AFRAID 2 SHUT UP

Been a minute since I`ve picked up the pen & pad. But things have just gotten so clouded that I need 2 vent.

We all have been n situations when a family member, friend, or someone that we talk with, has gone through a hard ship. Often, we try 2 console them with words of wisdom and encouragement. Talk`n 2 them and giv`n references of what we may or may not have done n similar situations.

2 days words of wisdom r gonna really b quick. From this day forward, I would like 2 encourage people that don`t know anything about what a person is go`n through, 2 not b afraid 2 shut up. Just listen.

Yeah. . .I know, everybody can relate 2 somebody elses situation. But don`t b afraid 2 shut up. Just listen. Even if u think u know everything that they`re gonna say about a situation, don`t b afraid 2 shut up. Just listen.

When will people learn that no 2 situations r the same. They rn`t the same b/c no 2 people r the same. More specifically, 2 the people who say they understand my struggle, u don`t b/c u`r not me. So please stop try`n 2 offer me suggestions on how 2 run my career if u haven`t ever tried 2 do what I`m do`n. And 4 those of u who have done what I`m do`n, u haven`t done what I`m do`n, so don`t b afraid 2 shut up. Just listen.

Now, n the event that I ask u what do u think I should do 2 help better my career, by all means fell free 2 give u`r opinions about some decisions that u think I`ve made. Hell, I`d like 2 hear about a few of u`r life screw ups. . . LOL. . .But n the event, that u ask me how things r go`n and I say something that leads u 2 b lieve that I`m not happy; don`t b afraid 2 shut up. Just listen. Chances r, I`m not complain`n, I`m just us`n u as a sound`n board.

I know that u mean well. But I I`m say`n this b/c I need 2 get it out of my system. I`m talk`n about me. I can`t speak 4 other people but n regards 2 me, just listen. I think I have enough common sense 2 know how 2 ask someone what is their opinion about something I`m do`n. Where were u when I only had $300.00 dollars 2 my name? Where were u when I was n Japan and didn`t know how 2 make ends meet? Where were u when I needed financial support 2 get my current album, that is due 2 release n July, pressed and printed?

U were n the same place u r now. N the bed dream`n of "sugar plum ferries" while I`m up w/ a pen and a pad try`n 2 express 2 the world that there is a place 4 everybody. But it`s up 2 each specific individual 2 determine where that place will b. And no Dr. Phil wanna b, untrained or trained head doctor or street doctor is gonna make or break u. What will u do w/ the knowledge that u`ve been given? What will u do w/ the gift, talent, money, body or beauty that u`ve been given?

It`s 4 u 2 decide.. . . .It`s 4 me 2 decide. So please, whenever someone is tell`n u something about themselves or some career moves that they`ve made. Don`t b afraid 2 just shut up. Just listen. U might just learn something.
