Hey y'all, whether it's morning, evening, or afternoon, I'm just glad that you guys
had decided to vibe with me, Yes E.
And today's episode will be just like how last week was, a little bit of a rush because
it wasn't prepared due to me being sick and also due to things that are happening but
so quickly.
So, if you're new here or old, I just want you guys to sit back, relax, and enjoy the
show.
Whether you're on the go or on the move, I just want y'all to really, really sit back
and relax and listen to this episode because this one, I feel like will be one of the biggest,
the most PSA type episodes that I have done so far.
Not just because of what's going on but because this needs to be said, especially right now.
So, let's get into it.
Today's Vibraday is all about well-being and the reason why today's Vibraday is well-being
is because at times you gotta know when it's time for you to rest, when it's time for you
to focus on things that impact your well-being, especially when it comes to your mental and
physical appearance and feelings as well.
So, let me get into it.
As a Thursday last week, I have not been feeling good at all and I just have not been in it
but I forced myself to be into things, to be into tune to everything that's going on
around me because when you are a person that is real big on making sure that everything
is said and done, making sure you stay on top of things.
Basically, if you're used to a routine, you're used to everything but don't want to start
away and you're used to that routine period.
However, even if I'm sick or not, I will still push myself within that routine because that's
just how I am.
However, I say this to say, when it comes to your well-being, guys, please, please, please
pay attention to the signs.
I say this to say is because when your body is giving you signals as in like you need
to stop or you need to slow down or things like that, please listen to it because I'm
telling you that will be one sign that can help you within your well-being.
Physically and especially mentally, if you're not feeling it, overall, whatever it is, let
it be known and get it checked out.
Don't play with it, don't play with it, don't play with it, don't play with it because it's
serious.
Like, I can tell you, like, I went to school Thursday, voice going in and out.
Friday went to my other job, I felt so weak.
Saturday, my mom's birthday, I was weak.
But I played it off.
Sunday, it was worse than that.
As Monday and yesterday come came, it still felt worse, but the thing is that I still
pushed myself and that was a problem.
When it comes to your well-being, you have to put everything on pause.
No matter what's going on, your well-being matters because you never know what it is
going on until you get it solved, especially if you're sick.
Like on this term, it is global warming, everything change, and one day is warm, one
day is hot, one day is cold.
Like, the weather plays a big game too, but also we play a big part on our lives as well,
especially if we're always up on a go and never seems to be sitting down.
Just one red flag right there, like our well-being matters so much that we take it for granted
because when we're used to just being busy bodies, we don't believe in relaxing.
A pretend it's time for us to go to bed.
At times, some of us don't even get that eight hours of sleep.
I know I don't.
Sometimes I probably don't even get eight hours of sleep.
Probably a good four or two hours, and that's a problem because you have to have a good
night's sleep in order to be productive in your everyday life.
You have to have some type of sense of taking away stuff that you know is not good for you.
No matter what it is, no matter how big or small it is, even if it's a person, if you
have to take something away, do it because your well-being matters, especially around
this time, it's like it's getting to holiday time and things like that.
You really, really just need to think for a moment and be like, what am I doing to help
me when it comes to my well-being?
Regardless if you're a sick or not, you still need to just take time on you mentally and
physically because that's your well-being.
You as a person, it's a lot that goes on for us.
24-7, no matter what, at any given moment, it's just like a lot of things that happen
that you just need to reflect on, especially when it comes to your well-being.
The reason why today's Bible today is well-being is because I planned on doing this anyway
way before I got sick.
I was like, I want to do well-being because us as humans, we do not focus on our well-being.
We're quick to focus on others instead of ourselves.
We don't take the time to sit back and reflect on our well-being.
We don't take the time to give ourselves the five, 10, 15, 20 minutes on ourselves because
we're too wrapped up and sucked up on.
The routines that we have for ourselves, let alone we're too sucked up on, making sure
everybody else is around us, is okay rather than making sure that we're good.
That's a weird flag right there.
Yes, I'll be the one to say that for myself because it is happening.
You got to really, really, really take control when it comes to your well-being because it's
like at any given day, any given moment, you can shut down.
You can really, really shut down physically and mentally.
I feel like you shut down mentally before you can shut down physically because everything
is racing inside of you with things like that.
In your mind, that is the strongest, I feel like the strongest ever part of your body
that people don't understand because your mind is always racing.
It's always doing something.
You can't control it because it's always going to do something.
That's why I feel it though, it's very important for us to take that time to reflect on our
well-being because you got to think, a lot of things happen when you don't focus on
your well-being such as heart attacks and seizures and things like asthma attacks,
full skinny anxiety attacks, strokes, everything under the nature.
Everything can happen at any given point if you just don't take those moments.
Just reflect on yourself.
I know you're like, oh my gosh, you're not listening to yourself but you are.
I know.
I'm not really lying to y'all today.
I really was not going to talk about anything.
I was going to give y'all a break, give me a break because for one, this is homecoming
weekend.
I didn't want to do jet.
I didn't want to do anything.
I didn't want to go to work but I had to.
I still got to make money some time away but it's homecoming for Morgan State University
but right now, us, Morgan, kids, alumni, staff, everything are not doing good.
Last night we just had one of the most tragic events ever happening.
A massive shooter was going to campus, let alone four to five people got shot.
They're not as bad but they're still bad because they got shot either way.
Those.
What people don't understand is, I try to tell people that if you're not from the city,
it's like to us, it's normal.
It's like we're numb to this.
Some of us are numb to this.
At times I do be numb but I feel like when it's really close to home, especially to
where a place that you go to, three or four times out of your day is really going to hit
you because it's like I go to campus three to four times out of the week.
And by my campus being so big and you know, a public, campus, you still have to be in
a piece of cues of a garlic.
I don't care wherever you go.
I feel like once you step foot out of your safe zone, your home, wherever you call your
safe space, you have to be on your piece of cues, especially if you buy yourself because
anything can happen at any given time at any given place.
But people feel like, oh, this is Baltimore.
Y'all are used to this.
Yeah, the people that are from here, but people that's not from here, I really, really, really
like feel for them because it's like if you're not from here, you do not understand the
shit that happens here constantly, regardless of how big or small the shit is, it happens.
It's like you cannot get past it, especially if it's up here.
And I just don't like the way how certain people are narrated because it's like in order,
just one thing, I'm just saying that I'm going to cut the shit right here.
You can't tell nobody how to feel.
That's the number one thing up there.
You can't tell me shit on how I feel versus the next person, regardless if we were or
were not on that campus when that shit happened.
You cannot tell a person how to feel, especially if you don't know how it feels to be in a
situation like this, regardless when it comes to somebody's well-being.
Yes, I'm going to be on 10 because anything can happen at any given goddamn time that
people feel to realize.
I don't give a shit if it's bottom or not.
Shit happens all over, but this shit you wouldn't expect to happen on a peaceful night.
You wouldn't expect it to happen on a peaceful event.
You wouldn't because yes, usually times like when there's a shooting happening, always
happen the day of homecoming, which is Saturday.
And that's sad too because it's like homecoming is supposed to be like one of the most peaceful
but little snipes slash weekends as a college alumni student or a friend or family of a
student that attends a university.
You know, like it's an HBCU for crying out loud, a historical black college university.
Like it's like come on now and by more than being one of the national treasures that is
very like knowing and good things and bad things, especially when it comes to their
events and stuff like that.
That is one of the hardest things to ever juggle.
It is very hard to deal with things like that.
It's hard to just deal with certain things.
It's hard to adapt to things.
It is hard to juggle things that you just don't know how to handle.
And when I found out this news last night, it really, it hurt me because it's just crazy
to me because I was in the phone talking about homecoming at that time.
I was talking about homecoming.
I was getting prepared for homecoming because this is my second homecoming at Morgan State
University.
Last year I had a good experience even though my experience was cut short due to, you know,
people wanting to go home early, you know, what it is, what it is, you know, things like
that you can't get back.
But I feel as though what matters the most is that the people that did get shot are alive
and people are missing the point that, okay, yes, it's homecoming, but right now we got
to think of bigger and better things.
Like, if people out here that are really having anxiety attacks, like having the bad, bad things
going on that we need to focus on.
So all that, that laughing, giggling and shit about trying to make this situation better,
it's not going to help.
Like, I know we all messed up right now.
We want to do this, want to do that, but we can't.
You know, we got to work to work authority saying we can't jump over authority because
this thing business, this thing show, you know, so like, when it comes to the well-being,
you all, it's just really one of them things that you really need to pay attention to.
And you all really need to take the shit serious.
And I feel like for my generation at this big ass age, sometimes shit we take for granted
until the shit really happens to one of our own, they'll be like, damn, what the fuck
just happened?
And then you sit there and be like, oh, this is what y'all was talking about?
This is what we was talking about.
This is nothing to play with.
It's nothing to play with, especially when it's your well-being and others well-being
around you, especially if it's so bad.
It's just like, you really, really, really, really, really, really, really got to think
broader on everything you say and do.
You got to really think deeper into the things you say and view around people.
Let alone see people because you don't know what people feel and things like that.
Y'all don't understand.
Like y'all don't really understand what is going on.
Y'all don't understand how people say, you don't understand how people carry things.
And it's just ridiculous.
It's just, it's really sad.
It's really hurtful.
It's just really, really, really stressful.
It's just like one of those things is like you wake up from it and you like, this shit
really happens.
That's how I feel.
After all that that happened, it felt like it wasn't real.
But it was.
After you know, you seem to, like, what's going on and you look in his life, oh, this
shit is real.
This shit happened.
This shit ain't no joke.
This shit is for real.
This shit ain't for fake.
And we need to take into consideration that it's people out here that are not from here.
Family, friends, they have people up here.
They have loved ones up here that they're really worried sick about because they are
not from here.
Their whole motive was to give their children the best education they could.
They, that's why they, you know, flew them whatever they had to do out here.
San Juan.
But that's the thing to always tell people like, when people be like, oh, I'm from here.
I'm from Houston.
I'm from Chicago.
I'm from California.
I'm from all these places.
I'm like, what made you want to come here?
People like, because of education or for better job opportunities or I just wanted to go away
from home.
And I always tell people like, I ain't very nice to you.
I'm not very nice to you.
Peace.
