Hello family,
I am writing you from Leuven, Belgium....It is still so surreal to say that. I am so thankful at what I have experienced thus far. So that you know, I travel for 16 hours....3 trains and two planes...lol. I have enjoyed the experiences thus far. I have met some pretty awesome people and have seen somethings that are quite interesting. Like in Finland, they have an airline called BLUE 1, and the restroom is called WC (water closet)....and in the Belgium airport, the bathrooms have doors from floor to ceiling so men and women can go into the same bathroom together and it is no big deal.
On to some Blu Truth......
I am so excited to be here, and yet I understand that this is monumental to my own success. I am not trying to pave a way, the way was already made otherwise I would not be here. All the amazing women from my mother to Harriet Tubman all lived their lives in a manner that made me believe that where I am right now is not a fluke or a mistake. This was by design in the tapestry of God. I had to do my part and change my thinking when it came to those things that are possible in my own life. I have upset some people, offended some people, and have been told everything from that I am selfish to I don't love my children. Someone told me that the people crazy enough to think they can change the world are the ones that do it. I am guessing with how I see myself in doing this poetry and spoken word is something outside of the box that doesn't really exist. In ideal world, I wouldn't have to worry about my children being separated because one of my baby daddy's wanted to throw his weight around when I left, my son wouldn't be in a position to be made to have to deal with that man's ignorance, my children would have no doubts that I love them and that my actions are not designed to bring them stress, that I do love this man even though I don't think he feels the same way, and that above all others would see the big picture. We don't live in an ideal world, and I don't know if my big picture matters to anyone but me, but it matters. Because it matters to me, eventually...everyone who is really for me and loves me will see it too. Until they...I have to keep working on my big picture just like you have to yours.
You will have those moments like I did....I received a call that made me not want to get on the plane, because the person who was going to be there for my children found something better to do. Truthfully, I have continually made the mistake of trusting the unworthy because I have some things to work out. Just like I know that I am suppose to be here, things worked out there....so now I am working. Sitting here writing you, working on pieces, and adjusting to a new sleep schedule with a slightly swollen eye due to a fight with a Belgium mosquito...I lost...lol....but I am smiling. I will keep you updated on everything. Videos will be uploaded...we are about to have some serious fun..
Peace & Love
