    Do we believe loving someone means owning them? Do we believe that ownership is the reason someone should “behave”? Do we believe that all the expectations, conditions, and underlying threats of “you better act right or else” keep one honest and true? Do we believe that the more control we put on someone the safer we are? …Here is how I will change my statement…Will and I BOTH can do WHATEVER we want, because we TRUST each other to do so.

    Jada Pinkett-Smith takes to Facebook to respond to bloggers who have criticized her for her comments on open marriage made in an April 3rd interview with the Huffington Post’s Marc Lamont Hill.

    Inspiration: “Just being me is enough” (repost)

    There is something to be said about people who are comfortable with being themselves. Despite up’s and downs, surprises and tragedies they never seem to lose themselves. 

    This comfort reaches far beyond mere confidence or ego. It is something that rests in the bones of a man or a woman. It is impenetrable. It is unaffected. It is unshakable. It is just comfortable. I truly adore those kinds of people.

    So many people hide behind their accomplishments, titles and all the other things in the world that they have and you don’t. All the while, they are missing out on one of life’s greatest pleasures—being themselves. 

    I rarely find those kinds of people. But when I do find people who are comfortably settled inside of their own skin, it’s like taking a breath of fresh air or drinking a tall glass of cold water. It is simply refreshing.

    I’m happy to know that there are people in the world, however few, that are committed to being themselves. I am happy to know there are folks who find solace in their own imperfections.

    I hope that I can continue to be a breath of fresh air for others who do the same for me.
