Zo on Recovery "Chasing Pavements"

Hey Faithful Followers and Friends,

One thing that remains constant in my life and that is the power of recovery. I have been so quick to recover in the past. I have been talked about, lied on, accused, and mistreated. I have ALWAYS recovered from it all. I do not want to imply that I have always been the victim... That is not true. I will say that in everything, I have never wronged anyone. This has been the HARDEST thing to recover from. If I tell you that the sky is blue and the sky is grey - correct me. I will accept my wrongs, but one thing that I fail to understand is why are I always pushed to the back burner in people's lives.

I listened to Adele's Chasing Pavements. This song spoke to my soul. She said, "Should I give up or should I just keep chasing pavements even if it leads no where." I find myself in that same struggle. I have made valid attempts to give up, move on and date again. I am trying now. They are not her!

Sister told me to just NEVER let anyone close enough again, that way I would never have to be susceptible to anguish and dismay. Though that is a measurable idea. I don't know. I guess I'll follow Adele and just keep chasing pavements.

That's it! I Quit! I'm Moving on!

Sam Cook recorded this old blues track in 1961. We were in a different time back then, but the realities of the lyrics are relevant even today. They were relevant in my life anyway. We connect to our artists by our emotions and experiences. Adele did a cover of the song on her album, 19. Her British accent and obvious sassy attitude gave the song flair and life. This song ministered to me because it gave direct insight on a situation that I was experiencing. I was in LOVE, by myself. There was an agreement to just, "be friends". In the song, there's a line that said, "if I can't have you the way I want you, I don't want you at all." So there it is. Throughout the relationship that I was in, there was a strong time strain. No time for me. No time for us. I can remember a conversation, "...you're not a priority. You're simply on a to-do list." One would think that even sane man would have left then, right? Not my stupid ass. SMH. Th...

A bottle of emotion

I refuse to write yet another love story and be labeled as a writer with lovely thoughts about happiness a bliss. I would prefer to be that brother that writes of truth, the other side, the side less read or shall I say TALKED about because it is less desirable material. No fuck that. I can tell I lost a few of you with that last sentence - so let's try it again. I would prefer to keep it real with the ugly than MAC make-up the FACE you want to see. Or better yet, paint a picture of the most beautiful relic on God's green earth. I'm real whether directly or indirectly. Intelligence is earned, it is free and costs you nothing to obtain. GET SOME! If you read hard enough you'll feel my pain and my intentions and my story. My intentions are not to confuse you, yet USE you to think harder than you thought the day before. I'll be your therapist, come on in. It's here - all right here, you just have to open your mind and receive it. The funny thing about words is t...
