Journal Entry #5

I liked this girl. I genuinely used to like this girl. Which is new to me because generally, I don’t like people. A lot have strange traits I don’t agree with but hey, pop off and be yourself. But when they start fixing their mouth to talk about me and mine that’s where I draw the line. Who made you judge and jury? The only person that can judge us is God. Yes, be entitled to your opinion but don’t let me hear it. Don’t let that news get back to me, because now I’m finna fire that ass up.

My family was just ridiculed for being a bad influence because some smoke weed and drink. As is their adult right. They’re not harming anyone and in this day in age more people smoke weed and drink than those who don’t. Saying we have questionable morals, according to who? And what about our morals are questionable? The fact that we’re always there for our family? That we love unconditionally? I’m so tired of people letting ignorance speak for them. Why don’t y’all ever have anything positive to say about us? Why don’t we talk about the fact that none of us are in jail? Talk about how all of us went to college. Talk about how all of us have and can keep a job. Talk about how my brother is always there for her. We never once came for this girl’s family.

This girl is in the courtroom of her bedroom passing judgment, hasn’t been to work in God knows how long. You can’t even support yourself, how are you gonna support a baby? With the help of your brothers who have responsibilities and lives of their own? Sure they’ll help out when they can but it won’t last forever and it will never compare to the help my family can give.

Now I could say some things about your family. Your parents especially, but I won’t. How about they get off of that high horse and stop acting like they’re squeaky clean? They should worry about the problems they have and get out of everyone else’s business.

Know this, if y’all in any way try to withhold a part of our family away from us, y’all will fight on your hands. We will not just sit idly by and let you strip her away with your bogus claims of us. Don’t make us an enemy when we’re trying our hardest to be y’all’s friends.

There’s a baby involved, stop letting everyone have your ear. Think about the long-term effects this will have on her. Don’t sell false narratives about the other half of her family. We love her just as much as you. So what you don’t agree with some of our ways, we don’t agree with some of y’all’s but we keep our mouths closed. Maybe y’all should start doing the same ☺️. Stay Blessed 💕
