Things I've learned. Season 1. Ep. 4

FRENEMIES.

" Do not let anyone recruit you into hating someone that did nothing to you." - Anonymous.

So …we meet again! I'm sure by the quote, you guessed it … we're addressing friendships! Oh come back here, don't close the page just hear me out. 

See, not only did life and love have it's foot on my windpipe this year but, friendships did too. I sometimes sit around and wonder; what do people say about me? what is it that I don't know that people know about me? good or bad. I don't know if it'll bring me comfort or send me into a mental breakdown but my curiosity just takes me there sometimes. LOL oh to be a fly on the wall!

I know … I know. Let me re-focus. This year, I lost friends. Good friends at that. It has me wondering though, am I the problem? I must be because all these people are walking away and I'm the common denominator. So what am I doing wrong?

It's a different sentiment losing good friends. It's a nasty feeling because if you're like me, you hold friends dear to your heart. It sucks not having your person anymore. Let's not forget that friendship beats any types of relationships. Don't make me swear on this!

So I learned: 

1. The ones who can believe a lie about you without second guessing always thought that about you. They just needed someone to back up their thought process. 

2. The people pleaser in you will ALWAYS try to apologize to " keep the peace" but it feels so much better when you stand up for yourself for once.

3. All things have it's seasons. If it happened, there was a reason why and it was only a matter of time. Pick up your things and go.

Dear God, 

I believe that to love is to know and understand what friendship is. I have my flaws and the way I've treated some friends this year was not love and for that, my heart aches and I pray that I'm forgiven for it. Even though our paths have separated, I pray that you keep us focused on our purpose. Let no bad blood run through our veins. That we let be what was and embrace the future even if we won't be together anymore.

GLOTALKS SHOW - S1E3 - LOVE IS MUSIC W/ JEFF SANON

Image
 " Where do you draw your inspiration from? " - Gloria M. On this week's episode of the Glotalks Show , I had the pleasure of sitting down with the multifaceted artist, Jeff Sanon . I wanted to delve into his creative journey and get some insights on it. I explored the many roles he embodies in his artistic endeavors and I believe I got answers to questions we've all been curious about. Before I met Jeff, I heard many good things about him. I may be biased but his music really stood out to me. And when I had the opportunity to meet him in person and watch him in his element, I was more impressed because the little time I spent around, made me respect the many hats he wears. He is a singer, songwriter, rapper, producer and executive producer. But above all, he is a student first. His understanding of music is what blew my mind.  I got to watch him turn my words into a beautiful song. I wanted to give him his flowers while simultaneously picking his brain. I really want...

GLOTALKS SHOW - S1E4 - EXECUTIVE DECISIONS W/ GLORIA MWANGE

Image
 " You're in it now! You can't quit!!" - Claudia Etwyse I remember briefly writing about executive decisions about two years ago. It has been something that's been placed on my heart ever since. When I wrote about it, it was a moment of clarity that happened while I was in Congo.  This time, when it was time for a solo episode, I tapped into that and the experience launching the  Glotalks Show  gave me. I used to be someone who needed a second or third opinion before making a decision. I never truly trusted my own instincts and even the decisions I made. But this time, I had to force myself out of the comfort zone and believe that the choices I made, were great and even if they weren't, at least, I get to reflect on them myself rather than blame others.  In this episode, I addressed my desires of answering the famous question " WHY". To know the why, is to understand the trajectory of your life. I also spoke about the story with my videographer, it h...

GLOTALKS SHOW - S1E5 - I WAS BORN WITH IT W/ JESSIE SIMMONS

Image
 " People are full of wisdom. " - Jessie Simmons This week's episode was very special to me. I sat down with Jessie Simmons , a multi-faceted artist from Ottawa, to discuss her journey through the music business. From overcoming industry challenges to the creation of her debut album " AMONI ," Jessie shares her experiences, insights, and the inspiration behind her music. When I was writing down the names of the first 10 guests for the  Glotalks Show , Jessie was the first one on my list. I've always been fascinated by her story and seeing as she continues to break barriers, the story becomes more and more interesting. When we met, she made it a point to scope me out of the crowd and introduce me to her entourage. As years went by, we got closer but, even then, her passion for music always shined through. So when I got the opportunity to sit down with her and talk about her life and journey in the music industry, I couldn't resist going back to the beginn...
