Syesha Mercado - Writes To Me Again on MySpace...

Syesha Mercado wrote this on her MySpace... and I completely agree Syesha! We should put all the negativity behind us. Even if a lot of the Rickey.org readers and Fanesha 300 sympathizers are still pissed that you dissed me on the live webcast the other day, I've been telling everyone: We still love Syesha Mercado! It's all about love Syesha! I will proudly wear my Fanesha 300 t-shirt in a couple of weeks to let the world know that you do have fans!

I really should be sleeping, but I need to put my thoughts down, so I can rest my mind and body.

Last night's show in Washington was very different from the rest. Well, first off I woke up to swollen eye lids and eyes that looked like I had been punched. The soap I used was serious. My skin really didn't agree with it. So, thank God for make-up. Everything is healing now, but it ain't so pretty! LOL Just thought I'd let my fans know.....gotta keep it real!LOL ALso, just in case my pictures I took came out a little weird, that's why. I had to wear shades today during the meet and greet before the show, which isn't like me, but I had to cover up my eyes for the time being......:(

Crazy thing is.....right before I had to get in the make-up chair our amazing make-up artist had an emergency and had to leave. So, tonight Carly and I did the majority of my make up. It was a test to see How I would react under pressure and I feel I handled it very well and Carly definitely helped. Yay! That's what Idol friends are for. We are always helping one another.

I mentioned in my set that things started out rough, but I stayed positive and everything worked out. I said that because of the circumstances that happened earlier with the allergic reaction and having to do my make-up. But, I felt great today. I was just exhausted, more than usual.

A really nice fan of mine told me a story that made me think about this:

Most of the time when people pick on you, talk about you behind your back, or are just flat out rude and mean to you it's because you have something special they don't. People who are out to harm you and make you feel low are not your friends. Therefore their views and opinions don't matter. Only the people who love you, including yourself, are the opinion's that matter.

Everyone is going to have something to say about how you wear your hair to what
direction you should be taking your life in. But, just know one day this world will end and all of their hateful words and cruel intentions want matter. So, let it go and keep doing you and being a lover!

Whenever someone is mean to you show them more love. Whenever someone hurts your feelings try your best to make someone else feel good about themselves. Take all the negativity thrown at you and use it for good.

You have a choice: You decide to mope in your sorrow or turn it into something positive.

When the world is against me it gives me motivation to do better.

Write a song or poem about it to get it off your mind. Then see the good in the situation. It will only make you stronger. Kill someone with kindest and show them love and before you know it they will be showing love right back to yah!

Goodmorning...Goodnight! I love yah...gonna get some shut eye now!
