Less Is More

Day 30/31

Hey folks, I'm sorry the posts have been straight up lame as of late...no excuses, I'm sorry. So at first I was gonna rant cuz I was feeling pretty annoyed, but y'all don't deserve that. Lemme just say tho...I hate panning events. Like I usually do it, but I don't enjoy it you know, and there's usually other people to help me out. This year it's all me, I hate having to chase down people who read and don't respond you know...or read and don't follow instructions, like damn man...make my life easier, please...I'm tryna do something nice for everyone...holy.

Anyways...so, I've been thinking a lot lately (what else is new) about just the old times I guess (not a good idea friends). How Christmas gatherings or whatever...whether family or friends...used to be huge. For family gatherings...I'd see so many of my aunts, uncles and cousins...and for friend hangouts...everyone would WANT to come out and see everybody and hang out. As I've gotten older...everyone's kinda doing their own thing, in their own lane, with their own groups...and it sucks to see of course, but it made me realize that sometimes...less is more. When you're a kid...when I was a kid...and you throw a party for example...you want that party to be lit...you want EVERYBODY to show up otherwise it's a dud and people are gonna make fun of you...if everyone shows up, you can brag about it the next day and be like yo my party had THIS MANY mans. As I've gotten older...less is more...an example would be all you can eat sushi...it's not the same for me anymore...I can't just indulge until I'm bloated and I wanna throw up, I eat smart...I eat what I like and what I wanna eat until I'm comfortably full. It's the same thing here...less is more. Nowadays...for me, it's not about the big parties...having EVERYBODY show up...having HUGE gatherings...unfortunately,a lot of that is a thing of the past for the most part. It's sad to see growing up has kinda pushed everyone off into different directions, paths and stages of life, but it is what it is. Less is more...same with my circle of friends...I used to love just knowing everybody and being casual and friendly with everyone...now, I'm happy with my small and tight knit circle of friends. So sometimes, I think about the old times and how dope it used to be seeing everyone come out and legit excited...now, it's about reminding myself that I can have an equally if more better a time with less people, but people that I'm much closer with, y'feel. Man...this whole growing up thing is weird man...being around my tight knit group of friends...but also being around and counseling younger high school kids...I get to see 2 different perspectives...I just have to be careful not to lose myself you know...thanks for sticking with me through these 30 days...tomorrow will be my 2016 wrap up of some highlights of my year...see y'all tomorrow.
