Stop your old behavior in its tracks. Be aware of your actions, reroute them.

Timing is important. There’s many couples right now madly in love and aligned, who wouldn’t be together if one or both people didn’t wait. If they didn’t get out of certain situations. If time was reversed and they were in different mentalities, different bodies and circumstances, their unions wouldn’t exist. It wasn’t the time for it then. But it works for both now. Many folks upgrade later in life. More than we realize. They wouldn’t be into each other as their younger selves. They wouldn’t have been prepared.

In a way it’s kinda sad because it seems like you have to be desirable to be a catch. You must be patient and none of us want that. But it also proves how important potential and growth is. Some ppl are meant to be late bloomers, but they bloom regardless.

We all grow with time. We’re not at our best at young ages. We become more wise. We’ve retained more information. You didn’t know what you know now two years ago. Emotionally you know how to handle things better. You know how to pick your battles and know what isn’t worth the energy. We know what will work for us and what won’t, as time passes. We become more inspirational and have a testimony with age. Don’t rush.

White Supremacist Pleads Guilty to Killing Black Man in New York to Start a ‘Race War’

He hated black men. He wanted to kill one, and he did.

In a videotaped confession, James Harris Jackson, a white Army veteran from Baltimore, told investigators that he spent several days two years ago stalking black men in Manhattan before he spotted a 66-year-old man sifting through trash for recyclables.

And in an undeniable testament of his hate, Mr. Jackson said he pulled a short sword from his coat and repeatedly stabbed the man, Timothy Caughman.

The killing, Mr. Jackson said, was “practice” for a larger attack he had planned for Times Square where he intended to murder young black men who were with white women because he loathed interracial dating.

“I was planning on doing basically as many as I could in Times Square,” he told detectives during a two-hour interview following his arrest. He said he had planned to send an email to The New York Times or CNN to explain the motive behind his “terrorist attack” or what he described as “an amateurish, slipshod version” of one.

After arriving to the city, Mr. Jackson checked into a hotel on West 46th Street. He spent three days hunting victims with a short sword and two smaller knives tucked into his coat.

Security cameras filmed him as he followed a black man whom he later told investigators he decided against attacking because there were too many people around. He said he followed 10 to 15 black people or groups with the intent of killing them, but hesitated each time.

Then, at about 11:15 p.m. on March 20, Mr. Jackson spotted Mr. Caughman rummaging through trash on West 36th Street near Ninth Avenue. Mr. Caughman was a recycler who lived nearby in a room at the Barbour Hotel, which now houses formerly homeless people transitioning to permanent housing. (In earlier reports about the murder, Mr. Caughman was inaccurately described as homeless.)

Mr. Jackson told investigators he stabbed Mr. Caughman in the back. Mr. Vance said the sword struck several of Mr. Caughman’s organs, causing him to bleed out. Mr. Caughman screamed and asked Mr. Jackson, “What are you doing?”

Mr. Jackson responded by stabbing Mr. Caughman several more times in the chest before fleeing. He broke the tip of his sword during the attack and tossed it in a garbage can in Washington Square Park.

Bleeding, Mr. Caughman walked a block to a police station on West 35th Street, where officers called an ambulance, the police said. He died at Bellevue Hospital.

Soon Mr. Jackson’s image from security cameras appeared in news reports. A day after the attack, Mr. Jackson turned himself in at a police substation in Times Square.

He told a detective that he felt no remorse. He said his goal was “a global policy aimed at the complete extermination of the Negro race.”

“I was going for something a bit bigger,” he said.

Prosecutors in Manhattan say the number of cases in the borough has increased steadily since the 2016 election of President Trump, whose rhetoric is often divisive.

How do people get so full of hate? An admitted terrorist. I hope he rots.

You deserved better from your country sir. My condolences to your family. May we all work harder to eradicate the hate.

7 Things to do when you’re feeling lonely

1. Try to reconnect with an old friend from “way back” – even if it’s just by facebook or text.

2. Get outside and enjoy the fresh air – and notice the beauty and the freedom you sense there.

3. Read a good book – and enjoy being inspired and imaging a life in a different kind of world.

4. Get on your bike, jog, or go to the gym – as exercise is great for improving your mood.

5. Chat to the people who serve you in the store, or at the coffee shop … or anywhere you are – it can make you feel a part of that greater world out there.

6. Listen to some music that makes you feel alive, and maybe even dance, or try to sing along to it.

7. Remind yourself it’s normal to be alone at times, and you don’t need other people to give you self esteem.
