“Don’t feel no pity for me cause I’m going through a couple of things…life means change that’s the way it goes. All my life I had a constant burning, strong, deep desire, aching and ambiguous yearning…For something higher, for something better, for something bigger, for something wider, for something higher…a lot of regrets cause I ain’t seem to found it yet…I have been searching around the world never knowing what to expect. I get sad sometimes. I be mad sometimes, but I am out here on the grind making mines, but still can’t seem to find what I’ve been looking for…open so many doors…I just wanna be loved…like everybody else does”.- The Talented Jill Scott
All I can say is WOW…these words of encouragement could not have come at a better time. Our mood for this week is HOPEFUL. And what fitting words from the lovely Jill Scott to suit this mood. So many of us feel this exact same way. Grinding day in and day out, but often question what the outcome will be of their everyday struggle. Like at the end of the day you may have everything but can sometimes be unhappy. When it boils down to it we are all human. There are good days and there are bad days…but the one thing that can brighten up your day is Love, whether its from a higher power, friends, family or a significant other, as Jilly from Philly said “I just wanna be loved..like everybody else does.”
