00:00:08,663 --> 00:00:12,223
Peace, peace, everyone. This is a girl, Sequoia Blue, back in here in this episode.
3
00:00:15,923 --> 00:00:22,043
Tonight, I want to talk about friendships and who you're hanging around.
4
00:00:22,263 --> 00:00:27,063
And I did an episode on this topic, maybe a few weeks ago.
5
00:00:27,163 --> 00:00:31,743
I was talking about the difference between acquaintances, friends,
6
00:00:31,943 --> 00:00:37,443
and associates, and how to differentiate between them.
7
00:00:37,443 --> 00:00:40,163
But today i want to
8
00:00:40,163 --> 00:00:43,283
talk about just be careful when
9
00:00:43,283 --> 00:00:46,023
you're hanging around and who you're telling things to
10
00:00:46,023 --> 00:00:53,163
because sometimes when you're hanging around the wrong people it could be life
11
00:00:53,163 --> 00:01:01,183
or death and i i really didn't learn this until i i got older you know and i
12
00:01:01,183 --> 00:01:03,843
realized that I can't tell everybody everything.
13
00:01:04,343 --> 00:01:10,243
And sometimes it's not about them having ill will towards me.
14
00:01:10,323 --> 00:01:14,423
It's just maybe they don't understand what I'm doing, and that can confuse me
15
00:01:14,423 --> 00:01:15,843
trying to explain things to them.
16
00:01:16,003 --> 00:01:19,463
I just don't want to explain some things that should be understood.
17
00:01:21,083 --> 00:01:24,363
Some people are just not open-minded like others, and that's fine.
18
00:01:24,823 --> 00:01:31,403
But I'm talking about when you have an intuition that someone is not right,
19
00:01:31,403 --> 00:01:35,843
that you're hanging out around with, even if you've been friends with them for a long time.
20
00:01:37,083 --> 00:01:41,123
If you got an intuition, it's not your ego, and if something is telling you
21
00:01:41,123 --> 00:01:43,603
this person's not right, go the other way.
22
00:01:43,643 --> 00:01:50,403
Do not keep hanging around them, knowing good and well that you feel they're not right.
23
00:01:50,763 --> 00:01:55,083
So, like, if, especially gossipers, don't hang out with somebody that's always
24
00:01:55,083 --> 00:01:55,843
talking about somebody.
25
00:01:56,423 --> 00:02:01,003
Like, if something happens, it's a fact that, you know, they want to alert you on something, fine.
26
00:02:01,403 --> 00:02:04,583
But if you're talking chatty-patty about somebody all night and day,
27
00:02:04,663 --> 00:02:08,963
talking bad, and don't even really know what's going on, so I'm half the time
28
00:02:08,963 --> 00:02:12,583
making up stories, that means they're going to talk about you.
29
00:02:12,603 --> 00:02:14,243
Most of the time, they're going to talk about you, too.
30
00:02:14,323 --> 00:02:17,163
So that means you can't really tell them nothing because, like,
31
00:02:17,183 --> 00:02:19,023
dang, you're talking about JJ.
32
00:02:19,163 --> 00:02:20,703
You're going to be talking about me, too.
33
00:02:21,043 --> 00:02:27,923
So be wary of, you know, people like that because you don't want that type of
34
00:02:27,923 --> 00:02:30,063
energy around you Because energy is everything.
35
00:02:30,923 --> 00:02:33,583
Energy is everything. And...
36
00:02:35,427 --> 00:02:40,187
I've kind of became a loner over the years because I've learned that I don't
37
00:02:40,187 --> 00:02:45,147
really, I can't trust everybody. And it's not that I'm not open.
38
00:02:45,427 --> 00:02:48,727
You know, I like to give people the benefit of the doubt.
39
00:02:48,807 --> 00:02:53,867
But once I get an inkling or intuition or just feel like, you know,
40
00:02:53,867 --> 00:02:55,987
okay, this person is more of an
41
00:02:55,987 --> 00:03:01,147
associate or maybe don't even need to be around, then I just let them go.
42
00:03:01,227 --> 00:03:04,767
I have to cut them off because they don't, you know, I'm not going to deal with that.
43
00:03:04,767 --> 00:03:07,767
And i really what
44
00:03:07,767 --> 00:03:11,087
really bought me to think about this whole topic was i was on
45
00:03:11,087 --> 00:03:14,067
tiktok a few times and i was watching a story about
46
00:03:14,067 --> 00:03:16,967
it was two different stories now there was one story the
47
00:03:16,967 --> 00:03:19,967
recent story was about a young uh black
48
00:03:19,967 --> 00:03:23,627
guy that he was in he was in college and
49
00:03:23,627 --> 00:03:26,727
i think he was on his way to to go to medical school and
50
00:03:26,727 --> 00:03:30,567
he was he was out chilling
51
00:03:30,567 --> 00:03:35,407
at a lake hanging out with some friends whatnot and I guess
52
00:03:35,407 --> 00:03:38,327
one of the his friends thought it'd be funny to
53
00:03:38,327 --> 00:03:41,287
just push him in the lake and knowing the boy couldn't swim
54
00:03:41,287 --> 00:03:44,687
or you know and he ends
55
00:03:44,687 --> 00:03:47,307
up drowning and no one I mean I think it
56
00:03:47,307 --> 00:03:49,967
was like seven friends hanging around there or something like that some of
57
00:03:49,967 --> 00:03:52,727
the seven of his so-called friends none of them tried to
58
00:03:52,727 --> 00:03:58,027
get get him out none of them tried to help him and I guess a bystander that
59
00:03:58,027 --> 00:04:03,867
was I guess around whatever end up helping the boy or calling um 9-1-1 or whatnot
60
00:04:03,867 --> 00:04:11,127
and now he's brain dead in the hospital and you know he has to have a machine to help him breathe.
61
00:04:13,307 --> 00:04:16,227
And it's gonna take a while for him to get himself back
62
00:04:16,227 --> 00:04:19,287
together again and it's it's scary
63
00:04:19,287 --> 00:04:22,947
and I always tell myself like I'm nervous
64
00:04:22,947 --> 00:04:26,067
about hanging around people you know especially when I know
65
00:04:26,067 --> 00:04:28,787
I can't swim that well and if i'm hanging out
66
00:04:28,787 --> 00:04:32,047
with somebody around some water or something like that and i don't really i mean
67
00:04:32,047 --> 00:04:35,007
he probably thought he could trust him don't get me wrong he probably thought
68
00:04:35,007 --> 00:04:41,087
these was his boon coons and all this but i i don't trust somebody as far as
69
00:04:41,087 --> 00:04:45,187
i can throw them i you know i have to stay keep my head on a swivel so for me
70
00:04:45,187 --> 00:04:50,247
i would back the heck up you know i would just be i just wouldn't be near the
71
00:04:50,247 --> 00:04:52,707
pool the lake with just especially with a lot of
72
00:04:52,767 --> 00:04:57,047
people because most of the time those people all seven of them may not be your
73
00:04:57,047 --> 00:04:59,787
friends some of them might have your will or some might be followers you know
74
00:04:59,787 --> 00:05:02,867
that's just how the world is we have more followers out here than independent
75
00:05:02,867 --> 00:05:09,487
thinkers that's just what it is so I don't know why he thought I don't know but.
76
00:05:10,797 --> 00:05:15,517
I'm just, like, praying for him because it's just sad. And then there was another story before that.
77
00:05:15,957 --> 00:05:19,617
And, see, I'm sorry I'm not getting all the names tonight, but I just had to
78
00:05:19,617 --> 00:05:22,917
drop in here tonight because this was heavy on my heart.
79
00:05:22,957 --> 00:05:26,117
I was going to do a whole spill on Saturday, but I was like,
80
00:05:26,137 --> 00:05:26,857
I got to get this out tonight.
81
00:05:27,477 --> 00:05:30,537
But there was another story before that. There was another young dude.
82
00:05:30,637 --> 00:05:34,377
Now, he was out swimming. Now, he actually could swim.
83
00:05:34,577 --> 00:05:37,377
He was in the, I guess they went on a vacation or something like that,
84
00:05:37,377 --> 00:05:40,417
and they were it was like four dudes and um
85
00:05:40,417 --> 00:05:44,117
they were swimming somewhere i think it was like a lake or something and
86
00:05:44,117 --> 00:05:49,217
he ended up drowning and allegedly his friends couldn't help him but they were
87
00:05:49,217 --> 00:05:53,857
all in the lake swimming you know and i'm like huh so three other guys couldn't
88
00:05:53,857 --> 00:05:58,977
help him so he died he drowned as well and i'm just like well he drowned but
89
00:05:58,977 --> 00:06:00,977
other guy he's the other the recent,
90
00:06:01,997 --> 00:06:07,217
situation he's actually on a machine so he's still trying to fight but this
91
00:06:07,217 --> 00:06:12,337
guy the second situation dude actually drowned and passed away and I'm just
92
00:06:12,337 --> 00:06:17,337
like it's fishy like you got these dudes they always looking happy in the picture
93
00:06:17,337 --> 00:06:19,597
and stuff like that and then all of a sudden.
94
00:06:20,843 --> 00:06:25,883
He sits here and he drowns. I said, now, come on now, now, you know,
95
00:06:25,883 --> 00:06:28,583
I don't know what's going on, but my thing is you could have,
96
00:06:28,583 --> 00:06:30,803
they could have found a way to help him not drown.
97
00:06:30,983 --> 00:06:34,543
Like that doesn't make sense to me. So I'm like, how does that happen?
98
00:06:34,623 --> 00:06:41,623
How's the way, you know? So the whole situation just sounded diabolical and
99
00:06:41,623 --> 00:06:47,823
both of those two different similar situations sound diabolical to me and I just don't know.
100
00:06:47,823 --> 00:06:51,283
Know and there's just so many other stories you know like there's just so many
101
00:06:51,283 --> 00:06:55,383
other stories that we can talk about and I'm sure you all have heard stories
102
00:06:55,383 --> 00:06:58,343
too but we're in a time now where.
103
00:06:59,163 --> 00:07:02,983
Inflation is in the through the roof we have a lot going on right now I mean
104
00:07:02,983 --> 00:07:07,783
people don't have enough money to eat don't know what to do people working two
105
00:07:07,783 --> 00:07:11,643
jobs don't know you know what's left and right no more because they work so
106
00:07:11,643 --> 00:07:17,743
much they can't really read they can't think you know and And a lot of layoffs are going on.
107
00:07:17,803 --> 00:07:21,763
People are trying to figure out if they're next or what's going to happen.
108
00:07:21,943 --> 00:07:26,463
And, I mean, so it's imperative to hang around the right people.
109
00:07:26,543 --> 00:07:27,383
That's the point I'm making.
110
00:07:27,563 --> 00:07:31,443
Because with all this stuff going on, you don't really need to be in a situation
111
00:07:31,443 --> 00:07:34,503
where you don't know what the heck's going to happen.
112
00:07:34,583 --> 00:07:36,743
I mean, it's like the Lifetime movie. I used to watch Lifetime growing up.
113
00:07:36,783 --> 00:07:41,303
And there was always somebody trying to poison somebody and all this stuff like that.
114
00:07:41,483 --> 00:07:45,163
And sometimes, hey, I still watch Lifetime. It's a guilty pleasure. but it's
115
00:07:45,163 --> 00:07:48,823
like it's just
116
00:07:48,823 --> 00:07:51,483
it's just it's just crazy to me
117
00:07:51,483 --> 00:07:54,583
how people can be out here and i'm just telling y'all be safe out
118
00:07:54,583 --> 00:07:57,503
there keep your head on the floor don't trust everybody you
119
00:07:57,503 --> 00:08:00,243
have your intuition telling you to go go across the street
120
00:08:00,243 --> 00:08:07,703
go the other way if somebody's seeing crazy go the other way um because life
121
00:08:07,703 --> 00:08:13,023
is short yet long and i would say short yet long because it could be a It could
122
00:08:13,023 --> 00:08:17,983
be a long life when you are hanging around the wrong people and then they're NG rubbing off on you.
123
00:08:20,628 --> 00:08:23,408
Our bad energies and it's just it could it could
124
00:08:23,408 --> 00:08:27,168
be tough so what i'm saying is just just keep your
125
00:08:27,168 --> 00:08:32,168
head on the swivel and just ask questions man just making sure just make sure
126
00:08:32,168 --> 00:08:37,528
the values align and keep and practice discernment you know discernment is important
127
00:08:37,528 --> 00:08:43,288
make your intuition telling you something right because it's it it's getting
128
00:08:43,288 --> 00:08:45,008
real crazy out here in these streets and,
129
00:08:45,968 --> 00:08:48,668
you just don't want to be in the crosshairs or something
130
00:08:48,668 --> 00:08:51,608
like that sometimes people just don't care about their life they'll f
131
00:08:51,608 --> 00:08:55,268
your life up they don't care about what they they
132
00:08:55,268 --> 00:08:58,248
just giving up and they're like you pull you down with me don't
133
00:08:58,248 --> 00:09:02,508
do it don't let them do it believe in yourself enough because even though even
134
00:09:02,508 --> 00:09:07,348
if you lost everything you know things are tough for you keep going stay strong
135
00:09:07,348 --> 00:09:11,848
you know and i know that's a word that's thrown around stay strong yeah not
136
00:09:11,848 --> 00:09:14,988
saying don't have your moments i think it's good to cry you want to cry in the
137
00:09:14,988 --> 00:09:17,608
corner that's fine but like Like I said, don't cry to everybody,
138
00:09:17,848 --> 00:09:22,808
you know, because everybody ain't there to to help you or may not be empathetic
139
00:09:22,808 --> 00:09:23,908
enough to understand you.
140
00:09:23,968 --> 00:09:27,448
But if they don't understand, you know, they may not understand what you're
141
00:09:27,448 --> 00:09:29,068
going through and just hurt your feelings or whatnot.
142
00:09:30,068 --> 00:09:32,888
But, you know, if you have someone you can trust and talk to,
143
00:09:32,908 --> 00:09:34,948
talk to them, tell them, you know, what's going on.
144
00:09:35,268 --> 00:09:42,008
Don't hold your hold back from, you know, help that could be there if that person is helpful.
145
00:09:42,288 --> 00:09:44,728
You know, I mean, because everybody's not blessed to have it.
146
00:09:44,728 --> 00:09:47,628
But if you can get that help of somebody that you trust that you can talk to,
147
00:09:47,688 --> 00:09:51,268
please talk to them because it can help you.
148
00:09:51,968 --> 00:09:55,068
It's just going to help you. And also, it helps you avoid telling the wrong
149
00:09:55,068 --> 00:09:56,288
people, hanging around the wrong people.
150
00:10:00,499 --> 00:10:05,119
I'm just, it just hurts to hear these stories and stuff. And so many stories
151
00:10:05,119 --> 00:10:07,479
I've heard before that. I mean, I'm just like, what the heck?
152
00:10:08,439 --> 00:10:12,319
So I just want to jump in here and say that real quick. I'm not going to keep
153
00:10:12,319 --> 00:10:13,939
rambling on because I can do that.
154
00:10:14,079 --> 00:10:20,259
But I got some more new good episodes coming for you. You know, some few solo shows.
155
00:10:20,379 --> 00:10:23,459
I'll be talking like I used to do when I first started this podcast.
156
00:10:23,579 --> 00:10:25,859
A few more episodes of that. And I got some guests coming on.
157
00:10:26,659 --> 00:10:30,059
Just a lot of great stuff. And I'm just, all I say is that, I mean,
158
00:10:30,099 --> 00:10:31,979
I just want to thank everybody for rocking with me.
159
00:10:32,019 --> 00:10:38,219
I mean, I got out of my fear of talking and, you know, just doing this podcast
160
00:10:38,219 --> 00:10:43,939
has changed my life as well because I had a fear of doing, you know,
161
00:10:43,959 --> 00:10:45,799
public speaking and all this stuff.
162
00:10:45,959 --> 00:10:50,579
And I actually enjoy it now. And I don't, I do it, I do it from the heart,
163
00:10:50,639 --> 00:10:54,919
you know, and I may not, I don't even edit everything all the time.
164
00:10:54,919 --> 00:10:56,799
Sometimes I'm just like, something's on my mind.
165
00:10:56,819 --> 00:10:59,519
I'll jump and just talk on a little mic or something.
166
00:10:59,619 --> 00:11:01,759
And I don't set up the big setup and all that.
167
00:11:01,859 --> 00:11:05,759
And that's the thing that you get from me is authenticity. I'm going to be myself.
168
00:11:07,599 --> 00:11:13,679
That's just what it is. And that's why I do this. I'm doing it to just help,
169
00:11:13,719 --> 00:11:15,079
hopefully help somebody else out there.
170
00:11:15,159 --> 00:11:18,959
That, you know, just help somebody else out there.
171
00:11:19,919 --> 00:11:24,159
All right, y'all. So thanks for rocking with me, y'all. And if y'all like the
172
00:11:24,159 --> 00:11:26,859
show, please subscribe, share, share, share, because that's going to help me grow.
173
00:11:26,959 --> 00:11:32,759
And I can do more shows, you know, when this podcast is shared.
174
00:11:34,079 --> 00:11:38,299
So thanks again for rocking with me. And everybody be safe out there and keep
175
00:11:38,299 --> 00:11:40,599
your head on the swivel. All right. Peace.
176
00:11:42,000 --> 00:11:47,160
Music.
