All of a sudden I miss 2002.
It wasn't necessarily an outstanding year but it was a year of new beginnings and I was only 22. I had all my goals set in front of me. I met some really dope people and they’re still in my life but we're all just spread out through America.
Anyway feeling nostalgic when I thought of Will, Face and Rueben tell me to ”Stay sucka free!”

Such irony.
Social Media Platforms, the Internet and Digital Media Devices have made every sociopath, psychotic, crazy, loose cannon think they have a ”platform” to emit their ”knowledge” on, when in fact, the joke is they HAVE NONE. No knowledge because they can't do anything on their own. Awe.
What are you really doing? Oh right, making yourself look foolish because there's a thing called display and when you're an opportunist (aka bottom-feeder), and you just jump from bandwagon to bandwagon never having your OWN ideas or your OWN ORIGINAL creations you look SLOPPY. No one wants that.
It's like a bad asian store bought 20$ weave after a long church service with no AC. Dead ass.
Maybe some of the things you're scattering about everywhere should be fact-checked like Trump. Because I've heard, it's a litany of plagiarism, and that's pretty a pretty hefty price to pay when dealing with pretending to be an expert professional who's not an expert OR professional in anything but trying way too hard and stalking others in the process.

Exactly.
But see, God is Great and he sees everything. He knows everyone's heart ❤️ and where it is when they do something😳. You can lie to people, you can lie to your child or children, you can lie to your doctors, you can even lie to your own self, but you can not lie to God. He already knows. That's some real talk right there. If you're useless with no talent and all you do is copy other people's work, effort, or manipulate them for your own personal benefit, God knows that and sees that - it's no secret.

My name was supposed to be Mercedes per my mother. But the sperm donor (father) wanted Rachel.
Mercedes didn't happen because my mothers ancestors own Dallara Automobilia (Indy Race Cars) in Italy which Dallara Autombilia also makes most of the engines for domestic import cars aka Toyota - not luxury 😂😂.
Rachel didn't happen, THANK GOD because along came a night of movie watching, and Tara was the name of the land on Gone With The Wind while Vivien Leigh played the main actress; thus, Tara Leigh was created.
reblog this with what your parents almost named you

And, there's that.
”Everything done in the dark comes to light.”
You’re only hurting yourself l can see, it's painful to watch. Insert loss.
I'm not into wasting time and energy. ”Hurt me with the truth, never ’comfort’ me with a lie.”

Rise and Grind👩🏻 (photo cred to newer)
I see much more clearly in the morning 🌅. I also realized I pretty much dodged a bullet👸🏻. That's nothing to cry over🧟‍♀️. After doing what I do best, a little research🙇🏻‍♀️, I had an epiphany, and I’d probably be angry too if I were stuck like that person is.
My life is way more fluid and way more engaging. I couldn't ever be is a circumstance where I knew inside I’d settled because I was prompted by someone else’s little bit of money and security. I'd be mad too if I had to play a role that wasn't scripted for me, and more like I was forced into it. That has to be so hard. How sad for them. Plus, I saw ALL the pictures, dating back to 2013, smh. I definitely would hide those photos too. I get it. It's not something to be proud of or show off to your real friends out there. So now it makes sense why you're so miserable. But when I calculated the years and the times you were ”here” and not ”there,” I recognized THAT’S A LOT OF LYING GOING ON and to quite a few people. People YOU need, not me. I mean, wow—the risks you took, smh. And for what? For your own SELFISH gains, that's what because you made it abundantly clear how you truly felt. Which was not giving a shit. But I guess you didn't think your boomerang would come back to you now, did ya? Who are you? Do you even know? Because you're definitely not ”that dude.” But I see you found someone who would certainly be grateful. Maybe it's your turn to feel some of those YEARS of pain and anguish.

When you spend exactly half your life loving, caring, adoring, wanting, dreaming, fighting and praying for someone you love, believing they're the best soul you’ve ever met just to find out in the end they lied to your face more than you know, abandon you as if you're completely worthless and talk to you as if they never knew you. There's nothing so exceptionally heartbreaking than that. 🖤💔🖤

I’m Not For Everyone...
by Tara Dallara
I remember when God put you on my path, it was before 9/11.
You walked in from the sliding glass doors of that guy's apartment with your bookbag, notepad, and said you drew graffiti - I thought I was in Heaven.
You were tall, bright and fresh. My attempts to get to know you were in full effect.
We exchanged landlines, and I was like damnit he's so fine.
It's like a flash bulb camera took pictures and left them in my mind. 🙏🏼 I seem never to forget you no matter the length of time.
I remember when you and your friend came to my apartment to party. We stayed up all night drank coronas with a little bit of Bacardi.
I went to work late the next day because you didn't leave until 8am. That was pretty much the end of them.
I rolled in at 9 smelled like liquor, not wine, and definitely wasn't on time.
That was the end of that job but I didn't seem to care. Because I’d finally spent the night chillin’ with you and not lonely in despair.
A year straight went by and we got along so great.
You headlined my first attempt at a show, but little did I know you'd show up with some blonde hoe.
After that I just wanted to go.
I was so bruised and distracted by that, the next day my partner came over and pulled the plug on Mogel Enterprise and that was that.
A year went by and I struggled I was in a lot of emotional pain. I didn't hear from you and things just weren't the same. It wasn't until January the third two thousand and three that I called you and told you I loved you because the end was in sight for me.
You told me to grab a Dutch and just come through. I was highly intoxicated but grabbed the keys to my Jeep and drove straight to you.
I never made it because I OD’d - I crashed my Jeep into a steel pole, flipped it and was crushed but I some how still lived through it all.
Regardless again, more time went by. But we reconnected and decided we'd be friends and I wouldn't ever try to die.
There's so much more that I could go on and on for sure. But it seems to me after I was 33 you'd often forgotten about me. I kept at you never letting go, our core connection was like Hustle and Flow.
We laid in my bed and sat at my kitchen table. You read my personal childhood journals while we laughed and laughed but I never thought you'd desert me yet I had no real label.
I'd sell myself to you so much it was like my best attempts went unheard and the last time I was with you, I begged you to stay but you left and that was so absurd.
There was nothing I could ever say or do to seriously get threw to you.
Fast forward through so much, just to find out you got married in the clutch. The pain was so severe I thought my heart would burst. You were the only person that could ever quench certain thirsts.
This has been going on for so many years and years. Me chasing you like a hunter trails deer's. It never got me anywhere but filled with nothing but tears.
I still love you so much. I just will never know why I wasn't good enough.
-Tara

YAY🌷 It's Saturday Vibes 😎
⁣(RP from IG: @ablessinginthestormfaith )
We (Twin & I) want you to wake up today and feel the warm fresh air (yes, get outside if you can’t, EVEN if that equates to opening a window). Feel that #flow of fresh air on your skin - having #depression can be such an everyday #struggle for those of us who suffer from its sneak attacks. Am I right? Trust me; we’ve been there. #DepressionSucks 😢⁣
Sometimes you HAVE to reach out and do something different and so minor to get yourself out of the bed, and I don't care how slight it may seem to the world, but one step towards a positive headspace is an enormous achievement for you. An accomplishment you should reward yourself for doing! We’re already clapping for you. 🙌🏽⁣
Mental health experts always say that a healthy support system is necessary for healing, and I used to say,” Well, what if I don't have one?!” Because I just didn't. 👩🏻 👩🏽‍🦱 👩🏼 👩🏾 👳🏽‍♀️ Then I kept reaching out, forcing myself not to give up in finding my #tribe - Guess what?! I finally found them—little by little, year over year. There are not that many natives in my tribe, but that's the beauty of it; they're mine, and they support, encourage, and biggest of all, understand ME! ⁣
You will find your tribe too. I’m putting it out into the universe. Try texting old friends, ask how they're doing. Be interested in their lives and when you find someone being receptive towards you then continue to communicate with them on a daily or weekly basis - maybe it's just by text, but after a while, you will see who's on your team and who just doesn't make the same time or effort. ⁣
To be successful at anything, being consistent is critical, and that goes for friendships as well. I challenge you to pray 🙏🏼 on it, regardless of your religion. Pray and ask #God to lead you towards the people that will show caring, loving comfort, and support to you. They will start showing up, and most likely, it won’t be who you think, so have an open mind.
Good friendships are a two-way street, and it took me many years to find my tribe because I didn't stop. And trust me, it was not easy. But the bottom line is that we all need friends and support. It's vital to heal and move forward from the grips of despair. Isolation is NOT your friend. You got this; I know you can do it!⁣
Now GO find your TRIBE! Happy Saturday⁣!

Don’t destroy yourself by allowing negative people to add gibberish and debris to your character, reputation, and aspirations. Keep all dreams live but discreet, so that those with unhealthy tongues won’t have any other option than to infest themselves with their own diseases.

Just practicing on some new apps. I’m curious how these Influencers on FB create these ”workshops” now on ”How to use THESE specific apps FREE tools to intensify your photos!” lol. I’m very familiar with how to navigate around certain apps to utilize their free portions but some they stopped updating and even still I use them. Both of these original images (not shown) are not mine but these creations are. Today I have 2 orders to fill, I’m just killing time before I can start 🔨 hammering and being loud. -Tara

Here’s my doll baby/buddy Ms. Olive (our NOW adopted Chihuahua). She’s relatively new to ”our pack” 💁🏻‍♀️🐾 I was never a ”dog person” - well for many, many years after losing both my dogs George and then Gracie (Boston Terriers), and it was just something I shut off. I eventually got a cat, Mr. Gary Shirley 😺. My mother and brother have been apart of a dog rescue group for over 15 years and have fostered and adopted so many different kinds of dogs that when I would visit them, there would be a new doggie almost every time, lol. I guess I was numb to it. I knew the fosters were looking for their ”forever home” so I didn’t allow myself to get attached. So, let’s get current! We fostered Olive (previously named Reba), and I just was over the moon about her. Next thing you know, I sold the idea to my mother and she adopted her. That’s when ”Reba” became ”Olive” (which she prefers by the way 😂). This photo probably doesn’t capture her in the best way; she was about to go to sleep zzzz lol. But I was playing in a photo app, and well, she’s just got me like ❤️. Thank you for visiting us/me here! I do hope you stick around for more awesome photos of my life with Ms. Olive (adopted from rescue, chihuahua), Mr. Gary Shirley (adopted from the wild, Snowshoe cat), and the rest of my crazy life of all kinds of uploads🦋‼ -Tara
