Read To Find Out.
After a two hour lecture given to me from my uncle, I left his office & made my way to my car; My uncle was the man who somewhat raised me even though I was already 15 by time he took me in. Not to take away from the man because he did help me out in life but his tough love seemed more tough than loving.
My uncle was my mother's older brother. He looked just like her too with the same caramel skin, the same round eyes & full lips. His brows were way fuller & more arched giving him a natural mean look that fit his demeanor meanwhile my mother always had an angelic presence on about her. Especially when she smiled. My uncle wasn't really happy to taking me in either but he felt it was up to him to be a father figure since my dad was arrested for murdering my mother when I was 13.
Before my uncle came into the picture my grandma took me in. At the time I couldn't feel anything but anger so I showed my ass. Constantly fighting, punching holes in my room walls, went to school when I wanted. I even ran away a couple times giving my grandma a heart attack but I just didn't know how to grieve.
My uncle used to come around time to time to check on me & my grandma but once he realized that I was out of control he & my grandma decided I needed to be raised by a man. He made sure he was strict on me too. Making sure I did whatever he said, no questions asked. In some ways I'm glad he showed up for me because even though I didn't want his tough love, I needed the discipline.
He called me over to his office today to talk my head off about my "priorities" as he likes to say but my uncle tends to forget that I'm a grown ass man now. Im not out here just doing shit, I takes care of my business & priorities always. I make sure my grandma is always taken care of & sometimes my uncle too. He just wants me to be how he wants me to be like him & that'll never happen.
After him stressing me out I thought about calling lil mommas. I've only known her for about a month but I just dig her energy & presence. It's just something about her even though I haven't figured it out yet.
I went to her contact & pressed call. After about 3 rings, she answered.
"Hey Mir" she said.
"Wassup mommas how you feeling?" I asked
"I'm better now, how about yourself?"
"Why better now...what's wrong?"
She sighed. "Nothing just kinda a long day"
I nodded. "Yeah I feel that but how about you chill with me for a minute. I need some good energy right now"
"Yeah im down. You wanna go somewhere this time?" she asked
After the first time we chilled in my car, I came back again about 4 more times but we always just vibed in my car. But this time I'm thinking I wanna just relax & watch tv or something. Anything but sit in the car again.
"You wanna chill at my crib. You ain't gotta stay long if you don't want I just though we could watch tv or something"
She took a second then spoke. "Pick me up around 7"
I smiled. "Aight bet" ____________________________________
