I'm exhausted. As I sit here in Grad School for TFA, I think about how long my day was, how a parent was so rude to me this morning convinced that I was out to "get her daughter," how starving I was to get that Quiznos sandwich right before my 5 to 10pm class....I sit exhausted. However, my weekend was just great. My two chapter brothers Jason and Jahsee came to visit me and we had a POPPIN time at Del State partying with Gamma Upsilon bros and Upsilon sorors. I relieved my college days but at 5:45am this morning, real life began once again.
Today, I wanna address something that has been on my heart for a long time. Although I have no compelling desire for my blog to fulfill some unforeseen life purpose, I enjoy letting my thoughts out from time to time. This weekend was a challenging one for my fraternity brothers which I care so much about. I won't speak much to events that happened but I do want people to realize the severity of reaching out to people you know, trust, and love before you reach a breaking point. I remember back in 2009 when I had one of the most detrimental breakdowns of my life, I had to reach out to someone before I reached the point of no return. I know the plight of the black man. I know Black Man's Pride. I've been there and seen it all. However, it takes a true man to self-reflect and know when he truly needs help. I want to leave my fellow friends, family, and frat brothers with this one thought. When in need, reach out to those who love you most. I wish I could always follow my own advice....but I know God placed me here to inspire others and learn about myself along the way. Till next time. Grow with me, learn with me, live through me.
