DIRTY LAUNDRY (FANS AND FRIENDS)

I sat there and read through a few out of my over 2000 messages on Facebook. This particular one was pretty furious, and there were a few others like it. It wasn't the first time I had read out someone's opinion about me, and I am honestly grateful that they have the time to let me know, though I must confess its mostly not all pleasant, but I also always read it in shock. I myself don't understand how anyone would think that I am a snub, I know I'm not. I mean, it is this same Joleeta who ran down to the dining hall of CCC Gindiri, with an open flask in hand, a Jss 1 girl who mostly wears her wet pants back on right after washing it because she had only one, who fastened her oversized skirt with a safety pin always, how can she be a snub, I don't understand. I receive messages from people more than once a while saying I'm a snub. But if all of them will look through my eyes, from my point of view they would see that its absolutely not so. They will also see how absolutely impossible it is to reply over two thousand Facebook messages. ( I'm sorry if I haven't replied yours, my phone number is on my profile in case you want to get directly to me).

  I do have my down moments, moments I don't wanna talk to anyone, and I'm not exactly always magnetised to my phone so I miss some phone calls. I'm sorry if I've snubbed you or you, or even you my dearest friend, it was not deliberate. I cannot lie to myself, and I can comfortably tell you and me this, I have never and will never deliberately snub you. For those who knew me right when I was kid, before anything, you would know that I have always been this quite reserved little girl who always loved to be by herself, a lot has changed but that part of me is still very much here with me, and I think that contributes to this impression that is largely wrong. I just thought I should clear this. Let's start over again. May God BLESS those who have shown me nothing but absolute love, you were the ones who told me you loved my music and my person, and gave me the hope that many out there still know the real me, and may God Bless those few who have that wrong impression of me, I pray you keep listening to my music and someday we get to share a glass of white wine in my private jet. How can I do this music without you? How can I move forward when I've hurt you, who is going to buy my CDs when my Day1 family is not at peace with me?  I am nothing without the people I love, and that is you, you made me, and today I pray that you forgive my wrongs, let's move forward.  I'm going to keep being original,  I'll keep improving on me with you guys right by my side as I take this phase of my life. Bless.
