My Dream to Be An Entertainer
Everyone wants become something and somebody. Aside from the jobs and lives we all have now, we dream of being something more than what we are now. Our purposes in life. Whether it’s a doctor, a nurse, a lawyer, a comedian, a singer, a dancer, an actor, an actress. We all have and feel that we need to be somewhere besides where we are today. Let me share you my dream.
I’ve always dreamt of becoming a big star. When I was 3, I was always told I was so talented and recognized for it. I can sing,I can dance,I can act. All 3 in 1. And,I don’t know. It’s something about being in the spotlight onstage just makes me feel like I’m at home. Bright lights, big crowds,cheering,yelling and screaming. It just makes me so excited! Singing my favorite songs both written and not written by me. When I think about it, I just feel like it’s where I’m meant to be. To be a big singer seeing her name all over the world at every concert and all the marquees she comes across. I know,sounds typical,right? But,what I would make different about beinf famous is that,yeah I’d be making a lot,but that’s not what I’m in it for. It’s about enjoying my passion and wanting to get up every morning to it. No dreading,just up and ready to go to work everyday,even if it takes hours and hours of accomplishment. It looks like a lot of hard work,I’m not gonna lie. I just look at some of the celebrities and sometimes I wonder how they do it and how they manage,especially with all the paparazzi involved everyday. Makes me exhausted for them just looking at them. 😂 I comend them for it all,though. I mean,if they didn’t go through all of that, they wouldn’t be some of the best in all the entertainment universe. But,at the same time,it all looks so exciting. Wearing your own outfits,rocking the latest Gucci and Dolce & Gabanna or maybe Louis Vuitton and doing favorite performances everyone loves,including biggest fans. And everybody loving you in every moment of it. Even if they don’t love you in real life. But,me,as I got older,I don’t think I can handle all of the crazy paparazzi, and beef with a singer I don’t even know and all the exhaustion and stress from trying to get everything to perfection before the day of my performances. Which is why i decided to do a YouTube channel instead. It’s more beneficial for me anyways I can make a video whenever I want to without the extra stuff. I like to treat it as my own little business I own. I can go to work whenever I want to, I control the time I spend it and I can make sure it’s perfect,I can make how many I need to to find the perfect one. One that I know will be the big seller. In views and likes,that is. The biggest and the best thing of them all, I CAN DO IT AT HOME!!!☺️☺️ I have aaaaaaaall the freedom I want too. Sounds awesome,don’t it? No hassle,no worry about being late. Just making songs,recording and re-recording all on your own terms. Never would’ve thought I’d be perform entertainment in my own home (no thanks to the COVID). And I gotta say. I REAAAAAAALLY enjoy it. Never thought I would ever say that ever. In fact,I never thought of doing my own thing in the media. I thought about having my own channels and all in the past, but I was always discouraged by some of my family. But now,I’m seeing the results and the progress I’m doing....and this is definitely something I can say I look forward to waking up to every morning (sometimes I check it immediately after I get up). And the only thing that stood between making my own videos on YouTube and enjoying watching and making the progress and process was discouragement,worry and fear. Never let that come between you and your dreams. If you want something,you go get it. It’ll take some sacrifice and a lot of hard work to get there,but always tell yourself you can do it. That you can have and live that dream. And as long as you see the progress getting better and better even after all the times you fall down,and you’re happy with how it’s going,then keep on. Keep up the good work and keep working hard. You’ll get there. Before I leave,there’s something else. To those reading this right now and to those who still use YouTube, feel free to check out my channel as well. It’s called Shania Thompson. Thank you guys so so much. ☺️

Temptation Can Be So Bad At Times....Yet It Feels Soooooooo Good
Human nature is kind of funny. We think we’re strong enough to handle anything and everything....until temptation comes around. I mean,think about. We put ourselves on a strict diet,we go to the gym we lose the weight we want to,we grow out of bad eating habits, we get rid of our own toxic habits and get rid of toxic people in our lives. And then we turn back to them by giving in. All the hard work and you’re back to square 1 thanks to the power of temptation. Boy, is it powerful. Leads us into trouble by trapping us in its web by using its basket of goods. Ask Little Red Riding Hood,Hansel and Gretel and the Gingerbread Man. Some of us can relate. I know I can. I’ve been up and down that road too. Feeling like Superman with Kryptonite. Or Batman when he’s seduced by Catwoman. Or flies when they see lights. We all have had our moments with temptation. Some of us still have trouble fighting it. I know I still do. Let’s be real,it kicks our butts almost everytime. Some things were just so used to eating or doing,that it’s become an addiction overtime. Like eating Little Debbies and hot chips and Funyuns and chicken and other fatty unhealthy stuff knowing you’re suppose to be eating healthier. Or letting someone talk you into trying out a new drug or something else you is weird or bizarre or can hurt/kill you. Or bringing home your ex everyday for sex. some It’s like something pulls us towards whatever we can have or shouldn’t want or need. And the world doesn’t make it any better because TEMPTATION IS EVERYWHERE!! It’s promoted on tv, on the radio,in stores and restaurants. We can even try to outrun it,but it’ll still catch up and overpower us. No matter how fast you are,it’s gonna come and trip you over when your inches away from the finish line. Guess after all that we might as well call temptation our BFF. Our shoulder to cry on. Our safety for the evening. A friend in need. Our rock to stand on. I bet right now there’s a special place for Temptation in the hall of fame for all its “greatness and accomplishments”. And I thought life throwing lemons was bad enough already. If it ain’t one thing it’s another. And another. And another. However, I think I may have a solution to resisting temptaion as much as you can. By training your mind and brain to believe and think you can conquer and overcome it. Increase your hope to be able to walk past something you see that looks “delicious” or “interesting”. Make your mind believe you need someone or something you don’t need to satisfy you night and day, especially if you’re just using them for your benefit. That people that “love you” and all the cakes,cookies and chips are not gonna help you in any way. They are just gonna suck you dry and ruin your chances and goals of losing weight. Everything that glitters ain’t always gold. Another thing you should train your brain to think about. The things we have to deal with in this world, I tell you. It’s never ending. Would y’all agree? Penny for your thoughts? Let’s just think about it for a second. It’s like we’re bees when we smell or see honey. That’s how temptation works. It lures us in with its sweet smell and taste that we don’t know what’s coming on the other side. It blinds us from seeing what’s really in store for us. Because we allow it to sink us in using its charms and assets,we get into trouble sometimes. Before you answer,just take some time and think about these questions I’m going to ask you. How many times have we dodged temptation and succeeded? How many times have we been tempted by something or someone we shouldn’t want or need? No shame or guilt. Everybody isn’t perfect,you know. We all have our downfalls. We’ve all been there. We all got dirt. We’re humans. We make mistakes and more mistakes and we learn more and more from them everytime. And the best way to lure yourself away from temptation is to teach yourself to walk away. To say to yourself “Nope,not today.”. And to feel good about it. It’ll be hard,but you can do it. Temptation is nothing but an undercover sexy temptress just trying to make it hard for you to accomplish anything and have your own say. Demolishing everything in its way to do it too. But,it cannot demolish your piece of mind and confidence unless you let it.

It Only Took One Minute.......
It only took a minute. I was sitting at the computer in my office when the phone rang. I picked up the receiver and then laid it down my desk as I went to find the student who the call was for. Within seconds I was back at my desk, ready to resume typing, when I heard the student yelling obscenities at me for listening in to his call through the handset that was still lying on the desk. Sick and tired of the lies he was spewing, I was up running down the hall, ready to kill him. By the time I reached him, I had calmed enough not to hurt him, but as I turned back towards my room, I knew that I couldn’t go on like this any longer. The decision was clear. I had to leave.
