hot like fiyah

What a night last night! In more ways than one, it was interesting and further testament to the strangeness and the changing landscape of relationships.

I went to Erykah Badu last night. FIRE. Seriously, she blew the stage up with her creativity, mantra, and soul. It was definitely a different performance than Janelle Monae. Erykah Badu speaks truth in a way that you can’t help but listen. She talked about occupation of native land, both locally and abroad. She talked about the need for grassroots change. For existing systems to be recognized by their puppets as systems and that the first step towards breaking those systems is for folks to recognize their own humanity and go back to their core. She is ironic, witty, and political. Mmhmm. What another great role model.

On a personal front, friendships come and go. The ones that are ride or die will stick with you until the end. I’m tired of all of the drama. Seriously, what is it with all of these folks and deciding to stop communicating verbally with me?
