Your Surroundings

Beware of who & what you Surround yourself with. I know some people are in your life by force, due to bloodline or perhaps your occupation, but some people are in your life strictly by choice. As you know, all people aren't good people and they don't have your best interest in mind. As the old saying goes, "you are who you hang with or those who hang with you." If you Surround yourself with liars, thugs, infidels, thieves, whores, po' pimps, and negative people, believe it or not, you will ultimately become one of those---if you aren't one already. Your Surroundings are important and are not limited to the people you Surround yourself with either.

You have to be careful where you go as well. There are just some places you don't belong or you shouldn't be. Most of us are pretty familiar with our neighborhoods, churches, and after hour spots, but some of us just follow the crowd. Those type of people just go wherever they are asked to go or told to go. They don't ask questions and want to fit in so bad, they find themselves in house parties, clubs, and/or most disturbing, bedrooms of people they think they know or may not even know at all. I know you maybe trying to be a good home girl/wing man, by running interference, but you have to be careful where you end up. One day you may find yourself in a place that may bring you harm or worst you may not return from. Your Surroundings, people and places, must both be managed like your life depends on it.

Just be extra careful with Your Surroundings. If the people you use to or still do hang with truly don't represent you, perhaps, its time to find a new crew. You know there ain't a thing in this world wrong with being alone sometimes. If you aren't sure where you are or where you all are going and no one is familiar with the spot, stay home. Always be aware of Your Surroundings, both physical and mental. You only live once, you better make it count.
