Stop Trippin', It Ain't Too Hard For Me To Jam

Dangerous is one of my favorites of Michael's album. Every song on the album I love and has helped me through every rough patch in my life. "Why You Wanna Trip On Me". "Why You wanna trip on me" speaks to me especially now since I have become more comfortable with who I am and the person I have grown to be. If you have a problem with the way I am, you don't have to be my friend and it won't make me any less of who I am because I love myself. A lot of time people don't think twice before bringing someone down or how another person might feel. I've gone  through too much and have come too far to let negativity affect my state of peace and well being. I'm sure I'm not the only one who has a story and who can relate and that is why once you've gone through your "struggle" you don't have any time for negativity or being brought down. What's the point? In other words, "Why you wanna trip on me? Let me be."

i'm living by this

JUST FOR TODAY -INDIA.ARIE


Just for today
I will not worry what tomorrow will bring, no
I’m gonna try something new and walk through this day
Like I’ve got nothing to prove, yeah
Although I have the best intentions
I can't predict anyones reactions
So I’ll just do my best
I'll put one foot in front of the other
Keep on moving forward
And let God do the rest

I don’t know what’s gonna happen
That’s alright with me
I open up my arms and I embrace the mystery
I don’t know what’s gonna happen
That’s alright with me
I open up my arms and I embrace the mystery

Just for today 
I’m telling the truth like it's going out of style
I'm gonna swallow my pride and be who I am
And I don’t care who don’t like it, yeah
I feel the fear but I do it anyway
I won't let it stand in the way
I know what I must do
There’s no guarantee that it’ll be easy
But I know that it’ll be fulfilling
And it's time for me to show and prove

It’s okay not to know
Exploration is how we grow
It’s ok to not have the answer
Cuz sometimes
It’s the question that matters

I don’t know what’s gonna happen
That’s alright with me
I open up my arms and I embrace the mystery
I don’t know what’s gonna happen
That’s alright with me
I open up my arms and I embrace the mystery
