Have no friends equal to yourself..

Can you relate to that statement? Is it true? I most def can't relate to people with millions. Can I relate to the poor? Yes I can, even though at the time I didnt no the definition of poor, I was too young to know that we was scaping the bottom of the barrel. Yea there was some who had more food, better clothes, We ate free lunch, back then that was being poor. How do you think i felt when i heard somebody say, my mama gave your mama that dress for you to wear. I hate because i can remember the tinest little details of every inch of my life..Can i relate to people with millions? No!! never had anything remotely close to a million. People with millions only hang with people with millions or more. They never go outside thier cirlce of friends.  So how do you expect to be friends..You have to already have been friends before you can get to that stage.Does equal means financially? or does it means Physically, emotionally, really its hard to tell what it means or how you enterpet it,, But if i became friends with someone on a higher level than myself, I think I am able to blend in with the best of them. But that's when the pretending comes to play..You know what they say..be careful what you pretend to be, because you are what you pretend to be...Define Poor? Poverty stricken?..I was reminded that today on Baisdenlive blog post..which had a lot to do with food stamps..Poverty, I realized, isn't only a lack of financial resources; it is isolation from the kind of people that could help you make more of yourself...We dont have the right people anymore, The ones we thought was good really was not....Scary thing..

  1. Poor? - remember that welfare cheese that WE viewed as a blessing because those were the best grilled cheese sandwiches ever! Growing up we had our share of problems and although we were financially poor, we were soulfully rich. As people gain wealth they seem to forget but, like you, I will never forget and I continuously pray for those in need. Peace.
