I really really really didn’t want to blog this. Part of my new years goal is to not depict myself as some “save the world” a$$ n*gga. I think post-Obama we have too many of those and I don’t wanna be part of the new “cool”. Plus I’ve been about change since birth and I’ll continue to be. I just won’t be as vocal about it anymore till the trend dies down. But I gotta get this last one in.
Sidenote:Merry Christmas to everyone out there by the way, hope it was great.
Now on to the story of innocence. I was at a store just buying some random items and I saw all these cool toys for kids. Immediately these two kids popped in my mind. A little girl and her brother who used to be my neighbors. Let’s just say their family situation isn’t the best and they probably weren’t going to get any Christmas gifts. So I bought the toys that I thought they would like and had my mom call their mom to find their new residence. I showed up unannounced and gave them the gifts and what happened next is the main point I’m trying to get across.
Those kids were sooooooooooooo happy you would think I gave them everything in the world. They smiled and jumped and thanked me over and over. Their mom was so emotional because she was just in the process of explaining to them why they wouldn’t get presents this year due to her not working for the past 6 months. When I say they were happy, I mean HAPPY. So happy that I started playing the toys with them. That 20 mins I spent there made my whole entire year.
I say all that to say that innocence children have is the best thing I think in the world and I want to regain as much of that as possible. The toys didn’t cost a million dollars but that didn’t matter to them. I left their house with the thought in mind that I ABSOLUTELY must become wealthy so I can help provide that kind of joy to more than two children. I’ve always been about getting money so I can better peoples lives but this completely sealed the deal.
That’s what’s up fam. I actually was apart of the Ward 5 toy drive in DC last weekend and sponsored some kids as part of Howard University Hospital Cares. This is the best Christmas I ever had just because I feel I truly embraced what the season is all about.
Props to you for doing that man. I wish I knew bout that one, woulda been there. I feel the same way about this years Christmas
Reading that made me feel proud… And hopeful that our whole generation isn’t shot to sh*t. Thank you for doing that for those children. Wish I actually knew people as kind as you. I hope you conquer all of your endeavors for the new year!!!
