Oblivious

Self-absorbed I don't care anymore about the struggle, the tragedy, the plight 
What are society's problems aren't mine so I continue to turn a blind eye 
Ignore the battles our people have to fight
Oblivious but not unaware I just choose not to care as long as I have my money, my
Honeys straight
I am not worried about their downside cause you know I got my fly ride
And plenty of money in the bank
Apathetic to the pain in the streets Why should I care it don't affect me
I got mine to my kingdom I hold my own key
Well I've lost it all now I had friends they care no more about my struggle , my agony, my plight 
I've become just another one of society's problems and now to my fight everyone turns a blind eye 
Ignoring the battles this once lost child of God fights
Empathetic, Sympathetic I've been forced to become to the pain that abounds in these streets
Now I see why I should have cared Because I should have realized that person could be me

Narcolepsy: Idiocy vs Actuality

Today I was reading an article that a very special person took the time out of her life for. She took the time to let strangers see what it is like for her everyday living with Narcolepsy. It was not something she had to do but something she wanted to do in an effort to increase awareness.  Being PWN's, (persons with Narcolepsy ) we already know there is a stigma attached to the disease.  Yes, it is officially classified as an auto-immunological disease as well as a neurological disorder.  I digress.  Anyhow, after getting my official diagnosis,  I began hearing all the want to be doctors give their assessments and opinions of what I needed to do and I just brushed it off. Reading some of the comments that I read this evening though were just on a whole other level, especially coming from complete strangers, so I am going to clarify some things. Where should I begin? I think I will start with weight gain. Most PWN do not gain weight because they are too lazy to exercise.  Also, i

I Will Not Apologize

People get upset when I say that they can't possibly understand what it is like to live with a chronic illness unless you share that illness. They don't always understand that reading about and researching it isn't the same as living it. People don't understand that Narcolepsy and Cataplexy are a part of me and and they dictate, not me, a lot of my responses. I can see how it might be hard to understand that I am not brushing off or ignoring situations because I don't respond the way I should. I get that it is hard to comprehend that my seemingly lack if emotion is a necessity for me to make it through. It is as automatic to me as breathing and it us NOT going to change. Narcolepsy is an awful illness but coupled with Cataplexy, it can be almost unbearable if you don't make some unnatural adjustments. I can't show you what it feels like. If you don't have it, all I can do is try to give you a glimpse. Imagine if every time someone at work frustrated yo

A More Humanistic View: Jada Pinkett ith

https://www.instagram.com/reel/CyZhTsVryjN/?igshid=NjIwNzIyMDk2Mg== I understand that the Will and Jada situation is tiring. I know most of us don't want to hear anymore about it. If you take the celebrity status out of the equation and view it from a more humanistic point, it really becomes less of a punchline. People see an actress trying to sell her book. I see a woman who possibly just wants to be understood. Everyone has made her out to be this bad person without really knowing the full dynamics of their relationship. I think a good portion of it might even be a result of trauma bonding. I know we are tired, but I think Bluecentric gives really good insight and makes some very valid points. I would hope most people bashing Jada would really listen and at least gain maybe just a bit more empathy. I might just be a little too idealistic though.
