Haters of the come up

Haters of the come up
Posted By: Johnette Reed on July 24, 2005


I never knew when I went to college people back at home would try to hold me back the way they do. For the last couple of months I been at home on summer break and it's been thing after thing. I just want to know does anyone else feel the same way about the people they grew up with or went to H.S with?

I actually feel this type of tension from family members as well as others in the community and former classmates. I all I can say is dont absorb too much of the hate and if you do, just use it as a tool to succeed and to get away from it. PEACE & LOVE -=Fresh=-

Dear I relate and write about. The devil does not bother anyone that is not bothering him 1st.
The more the bother the greater the Destiny/Greatness.
Think about it....
