For a long, long time…I didn’t even like to reminisce (Have I mentioned Nas is the 🐐😂). I am the type of person who can become easily triggered by a song, or a certain smell, or even a statement. It will take me right back to where I was when I first heard it. The way it sticks with me is usually the issue. Good times are amplified, and I love going back and revisiting those memories…but the dark times are also amplified. Those memories used to knock me out for days, sometimes weeks because I’d just focus in on how things could have been different instead of living in the moment. Those memories have become fuel these days though. 💯✊🏾
I started off giving women a very hard time because watching my father cry over my Mom. I mentally said it would never be me, after a woman said I love you usually it was not going to last. I would cheat and find a way to get rid of them. Yes, it's sad, but talk to older men and ask how to get past it. I'm lucky to know a lot of great black men. I took over 10 years to get knowledge of self read and rise above the trauma.
