A Jester's Gesture
- B: Yo dawg, you wanna grab lunch?
- P: I'm broke.
- B: Don't worry, I'll spot you.
- P: Nah, it's cool.
- B: What! Do you hate FREE food or something?
- P: It's not that, I just don't like feeling like I owe anyone.
- B: Who said you'd owe me? Consider it a gift – from my heart to your stomach.
- P: I think I'll pass, man.
- B: C'mon, think about it—when you do people favors, do you consider it a huge inconvenience OR do you actually enjoy doing it?
- P: I enjoy it.
- B: Well, there you go!
- P: Hmmm..
- B: Look, I know you have my interest in mind, but sometimes it's good to be a LITTLE selfish. Constantly turning down kind gestures doesn't prove you're self-relient or "strong," it just means you're stubborn and prideful. So PLEASE, for the love of God, just let me buy you lunch! Allow me the honor to "suffer" on your behalf—it's all love, homie.
- P: Jeez, okay. Let's get lunch.
- B: Cool! You mind driving? I don't have a car.
- P: -_______-
Do NOT be fooled by the innocent look on his face — this pup definitely belongs to the house of Slytherin. Behind the scenes are my brother’s socks scattered throughout the kitchen floor, my mom’s shredded flower garden, and a trash bag full of used paper towels.
When it comes to sharing our homes with new love interests, roommates, and newborns, we must always remember that adaptation is a process, not a single act. This means we must grow in our patience and remember that not everyone will naturally appreciate (or notice) our sacrifices. So RELAX.
Forgive like a parent & Love like a newborn pup.（＾＿＾）
You ever stop & wonder how many times you crossed paths with someone before finally meeting them face-to-face?
While I’ve never been one to label coincidence as “fate,” I can’t help but be intrigued with this notion that certain people were meant to be part of our lives. Some brought for us to Love; and others, to help us Learn — a Divine Serendipity.

Some of the most inspirational people I’ve ever met will never get the credit they rightfully deserve. They’re not very creative, not academically brilliant, nor do they possess the natural #swag of Donald Glover or Emma Stone.
What they do have, however, is a damn good smile.
Apologizing doesn’t always mean you’re wrong and the other person is right. Sometimes it just means you value your relationship more than your ego.

A year ago, I put my dog to ‘sleep.’ Amidst the untimely deaths of relatives, close mentors, and childhood friends, my dog’s final hours remain the most harrowing for me. It’s hard to explain why this is (especially if you’ve never owned a pet), but this short film captures the unspoken intimacy I once felt alongside my loyal mutt.
In a fast-paced world that can sometimes feel so cold, ruthless, and unforgiving, there’s something about a fat, furry head laying across your lap that puts a man’s soul at ease and fills a woman’s heart with warmth.
But a hug can turn your day around… It’s like an emotional Heimlich. Someone puts their arms around you and gives you a BIG squeeze and all your fear and anxiety come shooting out of your mouth in a big wet wad and you can breathe again.” — Chuck, Pushing Daisies
The most beautiful discovery true friends make is that they can grow separately without growing apart.”
