Take Two: Interracial Relationships: Love Has No Color

While taking a nap before, I came up with an idea. As I was drifting off into sleep as the first drops of a summer rain began, I began thinking about my latest addiction: me doing youtube videos. I used to think quality over quantity and used to do them every once in a while,but now I do them frequently and I hope each is filled with quality. I've connected with people,they've connected with me..it's truly great. One person in particular has been super inspiring..

but it's take two time! This is where I post older videos and kinda write about where I am now on that thought process, as I have evolved alot from some of my videos from last year until now. Remember: we continuously evolve,to realize it and to embrace it are great gifts of life. I encourage you all to do so. take two may inspire me to do updated videos on previous topics as well.

So this edition of take two will be talking about one of my more watched and discussed videos: Intterracial Relationships: Love Has No Color. it can be viewed here:

take two: I was very fortunate to grow up in an environment where I had every type of culture around me. from a young age, I knew of all the various different types colors,languages,religion. I mention something in this video: "because of the natural flow of how my life has unraveled" . Awesome! I didn't have that type of mindset fully then, and I'm happy I said something like that. I was on the path without knowing I was.

take two: I called out an ex...that wasn't very nice! I wouldn't do that these days.then talking about "my most recent relationship" at the time and saying "I really thought she was the one" but with her my friend still at the time? even if it was how I felt,probably not the brightest thing.

take two: "You have nothing to lose,go for it" , "speak from your heart" and "love has no color" are the most important things I've said in this video. I still feel this way.

now, most importantly, here's something I DIDN'T touch on. maybe I fully didn't feel this way at the time, but my thoughts now: race is a man made concept. there is truly only ONE race and that's the human race. race is a way for man to classify,relate to and not relate to...all those thoughts and concepts that are somewhat close minded. you see, we are all created from the same source. we are all collectively living in a spiritual existence. my soul is no different from any other soul in this entire world.

it's easy for someone to say: "I have a preference, I like this or I like that in a person" . and that's fine, I think somewhere in our bodies or minds, we have something that draws us to another person physically... whether it's their color,hair,eyes, whatever. I can say I have no preference in the physical department,but the ego says otherwise. the ego says: you like black women, you like natural hair, you like spanish women with a cute accent, or asian women" . It's something that must be kept in check,even eliminated, the ego.

but you don't hear someone say: "I have a preference..I like this person because they mesh greatly with my soul" . that goes beyond the ego. that is the point in my life where I am now. not a quest, what comes to me unfolds naturally. but I believe it is a outlook that is healthier and more beneficial to all involved. and that's my second take.
