You are extraordinary!

I don't want to get IQ tested. Do want to know why? It's certainly not because I'm "stupid". Yes, I quoted stupid because to me, it's just a label. Which brings me to my point. Labels. I don't want to get tested because I don't want to be put in some category. I don't want to be labeled as "stupid", "dumb", "smart", "genius" or "average". I am who I am as long a I know it. I don't need society to emphasize whether I have potential or not. I am special no matter what, and so are you. I don't need a test result to know my potential, my talent, my specialty, my purpose, and... Me!

 I don't like standardized tests such as state or national exams (FCAT, PSAT, SAT, ACT, etc...) What if that day I went testing I was sick? Perhaps, I was struggling with a personal issue, at home or at school. Perhaps, something that happened right before I walked into that room that made me unable to focus. Perhaps, I didn't care for testing on that day. We all have a day when we "don't feel like it." 

Don't let nobody tell you that you can't. Take a piece of paper. Write one thing you think is impossible. Now, crumple that piece of paper up. You just crushed the impossible. Don't let no one tell you that you're not special; because, you are. Don't forget that. You have potential. You have talent you CAN do it. Put your mind into it. If it gets tough, then push harder. If you can't come to a resolution, then walk away for a minute; look at it from another view; then, try again. This time, try harder. Because, you can do it. You are extraordinary.

I'm not letting go.

This "if you love her/him/it, then let her/him/it go. If it's meant to be, then she/he/it will come back" stuff is just that... It's just stuff.

It's because I love you, that I love it, that, I'm holding on tight. 

It's because I love you, that I love it, that, no matter what, I will fight. 

It's because I love you, that I love it, that, I wanna make it right.

It's because I love you, that I love it, that, I want to unite.

No, I'm not letting you nor it go. We might have our differences that cause strikes, 

but that will certainly not let obstacles take my pride. 

It's the not fighting together, rooting together, being together that could be the comeback; 

The comeback of life while it laughs at our silliness to give up when it gets tough. 

Together, we have the power to make our way through times qualified as rough.

Consequently, I'm not letting go, nor will I give up easily. 

It's the "whether you stay or not" that will determine if we are family.

Because, family isn't determined by blood. 

It's determined by the love that could cause our hearts to flood.

Are 👂🏾you 👂🏽listening 👂🏼 ?

"I might have heard what you said, but it doesn't necessarily means that I listened."

(•>•)

Some people tend to mistake the two. Many teenagers are led astray, only because they heard but didn't listen. Sometimes, I wish that I had listened. If you don't reflect on this, you will too. 

At times, you need to seal your lips 😶😶😶 and open your ears 👂🏼👂🏽👂🏾.
