Nah...I'm Good

I realized a bit ago that I have an unknown expiration date that can be 1 or 70 years from now. However, that call is for the Lord to make so I have to make the most out of the time that I have here. If it's a great time or a bad time is left solely up to me. With that being said, I have adopted Nah I'm Good as my official new motto.  

        I know you are wondering where I'm going with this and by all means, let me explain. How many times have you been asked to do something that you just didn't feel like doing? However, because of your selflessness, you went along with it and it turned out to be as horrible or even more than you expected. I can't count the number of times this has happened. There have been days that my body has been worn out but I have committed to 20 more things because of some issue I have with wanting to help people. (What is really wrong with me?  I probably need therapy which I tried and we will discuss at a later date.)   News alert: YALL ARE NOW ON YOUR OWN. BOY/GIRL BYE. GET GONE.

   I always said that health nuts do all of this work to preserve their health and then risk the possibility of walking out in front of a bus and getting killed instantly. If that is your ending, are you in heaven wishing that you had eaten that piece of chocolate cake? I don't want to be that person. I don't want to wish later that I did or didn't do something so I am going to make sure that I'm living my best life now. Be it family function, work function, church function or any function in the middle, if I dont want to go, the response will be "Nah I"m Good" or you may get "Namaste" (click on this link to understand Namaste: Fluffy Friends:Volume 1).  I'm not going anywhere that I have to stand to the side and wish that I was anywhere but there. 

  This also includes things that I dont want to do for people. I have a new rule, if a person hasnt done anything for me in a 90 day period, your request will be DENIED. I know you are thinking that you shouldn't do things for people if you want something in return. My response to you is keep that thought for yourself but as for me and my house we will now require a kickback. It can be in the form of putting something green (that spends, dont play around and get slapped being funny) in our palm, watching the little one for 20 DAYS, a free meal, etc. 

   I know the seasonsed saints are saying well that is how you get your blessings. My response to that is, ma'am/sir, I've done enough for people at this point until I've covered 5 generations with the blessings that I'm due. It's flattering that they think I have my life so on point that I have nothing but time to dedicate to others  but that my dears is blatantly wrong. I'm out here making real life decisions. Have you ever had to decide to use Doordash or Bitesqaud? Some of you dont even know what that is, that  is how real it is out here. On top of those decisions, juggle a household, a business, a full-time job and do it all getting 4 hours a sleep regularly at my age. For many, that is a recipe for disaster but I'm out here doing it daily and seldom breaking a sweat until I'm piled with responsibilities that aren't mine. 

   Therefore, what I'm going to do is take several seats and if you see yourself in this same predicament you should as well. Take a little break, prop up your heels and let people figure it out for themselves. I guarantee you they will get it done a different way if you aren't available. In the meantime and between time, say it Loud "NAH, IM GOOD!"
