Hope you had a fabulous day

00:00:09.297 --> 00:00:11.557

I know I did my arm is

00:00:11.618 --> 00:00:13.298

still a little bit messed up.

00:00:13.919 --> 00:00:15.480

I went in yesterday I think

00:00:15.521 --> 00:00:17.341

I guys told you guys that I

00:00:17.402 --> 00:00:19.303

went to the va got my shot

00:00:19.422 --> 00:00:20.824

and my arm was banging

00:00:20.884 --> 00:00:23.425

yesterday It is still yet banging now

00:00:24.263 --> 00:00:25.664

But it's okay because that's

00:00:25.704 --> 00:00:26.864

not going to stop me My arm

00:00:27.405 --> 00:00:28.405

is just going to do what it

00:00:28.446 --> 00:00:30.486

does and it will eventually

00:00:30.646 --> 00:00:32.106

of course come around to

00:00:32.167 --> 00:00:34.188

being back to normal so for now,

00:00:34.228 --> 00:00:35.088

it's just a little bit sore,

00:00:35.209 --> 00:00:37.389

but Before we get into all

00:00:37.450 --> 00:00:38.649

the good stuff and juicy

00:00:38.689 --> 00:00:40.310

stuff about what we're

00:00:40.350 --> 00:00:41.811

talking about Which is

00:00:41.831 --> 00:00:42.752

talking about friendship

00:00:42.951 --> 00:00:45.273

and I love talking about friendship Uh,

00:00:45.353 --> 00:00:46.713

but before we do that,

00:00:46.832 --> 00:00:47.814

we are going to do what

00:00:48.173 --> 00:00:49.475

what we always do So I'm

00:00:49.494 --> 00:00:50.414

not even going to tell you guys

00:00:50.969 --> 00:00:52.375

because I'm just going to do

00:00:52.435 --> 00:00:53.899

my Q and I'll be back.

00:01:27.424 --> 00:01:29.906

All right, so I am back.

00:01:30.445 --> 00:01:30.745

Hello.

00:01:30.805 --> 00:01:32.287

Hello Okay,

00:01:32.307 --> 00:01:33.867

so we are going to talk about

00:01:33.968 --> 00:01:35.748

friendship and friendship

00:01:36.230 --> 00:01:38.450

is a gift It's a gift and I

00:01:38.510 --> 00:01:40.191

said friendship is a gift

00:01:40.331 --> 00:01:44.174

do not abuse it and I've been uh,

00:01:44.194 --> 00:01:45.736

I guess this has been a

00:01:45.775 --> 00:01:48.957

thing For me and I have

00:01:49.117 --> 00:01:51.920

always really Enjoyed

00:01:51.959 --> 00:01:54.021

having good friends solid friends

00:01:54.772 --> 00:01:56.034

But it's when you have those

00:01:56.114 --> 00:01:57.114

friends that you thought

00:01:57.155 --> 00:01:57.954

were friends and they

00:01:57.974 --> 00:01:59.736

really turned out to not be friends.

00:01:59.757 --> 00:02:01.317

Oh, my.

00:02:01.578 --> 00:02:03.700

It turns out to be something else.

00:02:04.319 --> 00:02:05.960

So I was just watching a

00:02:06.021 --> 00:02:08.103

couple of clips that were on Instagram.

00:02:08.242 --> 00:02:12.126

One was one of these actresses was saying,

00:02:12.145 --> 00:02:13.486

if you want to if you want

00:02:13.507 --> 00:02:14.587

to have a friendship,

00:02:14.668 --> 00:02:16.649

if you want to have friends, guess what?

00:02:16.789 --> 00:02:17.569

The great verse.

00:02:17.610 --> 00:02:18.730

And I'm going to quote the

00:02:18.751 --> 00:02:19.572

verse that she said and

00:02:19.592 --> 00:02:20.532

read the whole thing.

00:02:21.133 --> 00:02:22.514

KJV, it says a man.

00:02:23.014 --> 00:02:26.176

that hath friends, show himself friendly.

00:02:27.056 --> 00:02:28.337

And there is a friend that

00:02:28.377 --> 00:02:30.620

sticketh closer than a brother.

00:02:31.259 --> 00:02:32.461

So basically you got to be

00:02:32.600 --> 00:02:34.181

friendly in order to have friends.

00:02:34.762 --> 00:02:36.902

And sometimes people are not friendly,

00:02:37.743 --> 00:02:38.745

but they want friends,

00:02:39.205 --> 00:02:40.746

but then they don't act accordingly,

00:02:41.366 --> 00:02:42.766

which is strange to me.

00:02:43.908 --> 00:02:46.229

And I have always loved to

00:02:46.289 --> 00:02:47.370

show myself friendly.

00:02:47.389 --> 00:02:49.991

I do that and I kind of give

00:02:50.070 --> 00:02:51.491

that off wherever I go.

00:02:51.891 --> 00:02:53.171

So if people randomly talk

00:02:53.211 --> 00:02:55.092

to me in the store and they

00:02:55.112 --> 00:02:56.514

just start a conversation with me,

00:02:56.554 --> 00:02:57.253

it doesn't matter.

00:02:57.274 --> 00:02:59.514

I can try to avoid them all I want,

00:02:59.794 --> 00:03:02.115

but I really just,

00:03:03.175 --> 00:03:04.496

it comes out of me like, hey,

00:03:04.955 --> 00:03:06.417

she looks like a nice person to talk to.

00:03:06.796 --> 00:03:07.957

Let me talk to her about my life,

00:03:08.038 --> 00:03:08.997

even though I don't even know her.

00:03:10.987 --> 00:03:12.549

Hashtag like what?

00:03:13.229 --> 00:03:16.432

But before I used to really uh years ago,

00:03:16.473 --> 00:03:17.212

I think I've shared this

00:03:17.252 --> 00:03:19.294

before I used to really not

00:03:19.395 --> 00:03:21.236

like that I would not like

00:03:21.296 --> 00:03:22.318

people coming up and

00:03:22.358 --> 00:03:23.558

telling me their business.

00:03:24.139 --> 00:03:25.700

I don't know them They don't know me,

00:03:26.121 --> 00:03:27.361

but they felt comfortable

00:03:27.421 --> 00:03:29.223

enough to share really

00:03:29.304 --> 00:03:30.905

really important and very

00:03:31.526 --> 00:03:33.127

Detailed personal things of

00:03:33.187 --> 00:03:35.468

their life to me this random person

00:03:36.211 --> 00:03:37.032

And it always happened in

00:03:37.051 --> 00:03:37.752

the grocery store.

00:03:38.152 --> 00:03:39.332

Now it could have happened other places,

00:03:39.413 --> 00:03:40.854

but the grocery store is

00:03:40.873 --> 00:03:42.153

the place where I get it the most.

00:03:42.313 --> 00:03:42.913

I don't know.

00:03:42.933 --> 00:03:44.175

It's the grocery store.

00:03:44.194 --> 00:03:45.414

I could go to other stores too.

00:03:45.495 --> 00:03:48.015

And I might get a couple of conversations,

00:03:48.075 --> 00:03:51.418

but the grocery store says, there she is.

00:03:51.798 --> 00:03:52.578

She needs to talk to you.

00:03:52.617 --> 00:03:53.758

This is her counseling place.

00:03:54.179 --> 00:03:54.878

It wouldn't matter what

00:03:54.938 --> 00:03:55.838

grocery store I'm in.

00:03:55.899 --> 00:03:57.280

It happens everywhere I go.

00:03:57.400 --> 00:04:02.062

So, um, not as much as at Sprouts, but, uh,

00:04:02.122 --> 00:04:03.342

other, other grocery stores.

00:04:03.905 --> 00:04:05.765

But so there was a few

00:04:05.806 --> 00:04:07.306

different occasions and I

00:04:07.347 --> 00:04:08.646

remember them very well

00:04:08.667 --> 00:04:10.467

because I was looking for

00:04:10.508 --> 00:04:11.449

that conversation.

00:04:12.368 --> 00:04:14.950

And there was a woman and

00:04:15.251 --> 00:04:17.132

I'm minding my business, mind y'all.

00:04:17.971 --> 00:04:19.372

I'm going and I'm walking

00:04:19.413 --> 00:04:20.432

and I go in the cracker

00:04:20.593 --> 00:04:22.915

aisle and there was nobody

00:04:22.954 --> 00:04:25.516

there but this older lady.

00:04:26.738 --> 00:04:28.040

And I'm looking at these crackers,

00:04:28.060 --> 00:04:30.040

like if I should get red saltines,

00:04:30.120 --> 00:04:30.721

I don't know.

00:04:31.240 --> 00:04:32.641

And I'm just like debating

00:04:32.682 --> 00:04:33.843

in my head if I should get

00:04:33.903 --> 00:04:34.622

Cheez-Its because I know I

00:04:34.642 --> 00:04:35.382

have a lactose problem.

00:04:35.423 --> 00:04:36.584

I'm like doing all this

00:04:36.603 --> 00:04:37.925

debating in my head about crackers.

00:04:39.285 --> 00:04:43.567

And she comes up to me and says, you know,

00:04:44.007 --> 00:04:45.088

my son passed away.

00:04:45.108 --> 00:04:47.790

I'm like, oh my gosh, I'm so sorry.

00:04:47.850 --> 00:04:49.490

My condolences.

00:04:49.550 --> 00:04:50.951

And she's like, yeah.

00:04:51.971 --> 00:04:52.951

And I haven't changed his

00:04:53.031 --> 00:04:54.533

room since he's passed.

00:04:55.353 --> 00:04:57.093

And it's been a long time in his room.

00:04:57.153 --> 00:04:59.093

It just it just stays the

00:04:59.153 --> 00:05:02.194

same and I've never Changed

00:05:02.314 --> 00:05:03.694

anything in his room.

00:05:04.194 --> 00:05:06.134

It's still left the same

00:05:06.194 --> 00:05:09.576

exact way Now I'm in the

00:05:09.656 --> 00:05:11.255

cracker aisle this is in

00:05:11.276 --> 00:05:13.516

the grocery store I didn't

00:05:13.617 --> 00:05:14.416

warrant this because I

00:05:14.456 --> 00:05:15.956

wasn't looking at her but

00:05:15.997 --> 00:05:18.038

she came and she talked to

00:05:18.098 --> 00:05:19.817

me about something very

00:05:19.877 --> 00:05:21.538

very personal that's

00:05:21.619 --> 00:05:22.478

personal I don't care what

00:05:22.499 --> 00:05:23.199

people say like

00:05:23.754 --> 00:05:23.915

You know,

00:05:23.935 --> 00:05:24.875

people could talk about death all

00:05:24.894 --> 00:05:25.194

the time.

00:05:26.475 --> 00:05:28.355

Yes and no, right?

00:05:28.797 --> 00:05:30.396

If they don't care, they'll tell you, yeah,

00:05:30.437 --> 00:05:32.677

someone so-and-so hurt and

00:05:32.697 --> 00:05:33.598

then they pass away.

00:05:33.838 --> 00:05:37.259

Okay, but this is someone that they love,

00:05:37.439 --> 00:05:38.579

that they know intimately.

00:05:38.598 --> 00:05:39.680

This is their child.

00:05:40.259 --> 00:05:42.040

She does not know me in

00:05:42.081 --> 00:05:43.060

order to open up with

00:05:43.100 --> 00:05:44.841

something so vulnerable and

00:05:44.880 --> 00:05:46.521

transparent of something like that,

00:05:47.461 --> 00:05:47.762

right?
