Can Da Homie Get A Visit?

Human being are extremely sociable creatures. Studies have proven that when surrounded by like minded individuals, we tend to flourish & level up. Theres an old saying that says 2 heads are better than one. Even the most anti-social being has a handful of friends that they love being in their company. So now that we’ve established that we all love to socialize, CAN DA HOMIE GET A VISIT!?

When was the last time you checked on your people? I’m not talking about a text message or assuming they are good because they recently posted on social media. Even during a phone call & they tell you they are fine, don’t always take their verbal confirmation as validity. Give da homie a visit. Pull up on them! Place your eyes on them. Put hands on them. Take a total inventory on all of your friends & family & see for yourself that they are truly fine.

We all have our demons we battle with so when a homie shuts themselves off from you, don’t be so quick to charge it to the “I hear you” card. They may be silently calling for a visit. That’s our problem. We have been conditioned to accept everything at face value instead of escavating beneath the surface in search of the true meaning. Remember Kings & Queens that silence is a POWERFUL voice.

I beg each & every one of you to take 30 minutes out of your week & pull up on a homie. I’m referring to homies that are incarcerated & the homies that are free. We have family in nursing homes or shut in a home that could use a visit. Actions express at a louder volume than words. A lot of people will stand in a 2 hour line at a amusement park to bestride a 60 second ride but won’t drive 2 hours to give a homie a 5 minute visit. Go see your people & inspect them for actions that validate they are fine & do not put so much faith in words. Sticks & stones break bones but words never hurt… unless they are words on a tombstone. Don’t wait to visit the homie in his last resting place. You will never achieve spiritual peace with holding on to words & hugs you should have given your homie while he was here to reciprocate the gesture.
