The book of Kim & Kanye – The Turns of Calabasas

I was minding my business being nosy today when Bing alerted me that there was another twist in the West Family’s ongoing saga…

Kim Kardashian is ready to move forward and put her marriage to Kanye West in the past. She’s asking the courts to speed up the divorce process and declare her single in the wake of his recent social media outbursts.

Maybe they just forgot to remind themselves of when they first fell in love….

“I very much desire to be divorced,” she says in the court documents obtained by TMZ. “Kanye has been putting a lot of misinformation regarding our private matters and co-parenting on social media which has created emotional distress.” The last few weeks have been fueled with the Yeezy founder taking jabs at Kardashian’s boyfriend, Pete Davidson, sharing his anger for their oldest daughter North having a TikTok account and revealing details about their marriage that should have never been made public.” Microsoft News

The way they were..

Kanye actually adores his family, he just doesn’t know how to stay married. It works if you can grow together. I think Ye might have seen Kim as a strictly stay at home Mom/Wife.  Or perhaps Ye thought he could have it all… I look at another couple that is similar to them and what do I see? I see the wife fading to the shadows in her own career but now supporting him in his and he is skyrocketing.   It’s a gamble – Dr. Dre and his wife – but remember Dr. Dre’s wife was never a public figure. When you have 2 public figures – it works best when they can follow when the other half is hot and then lead when their career heats back up. With Ye, it seems like they were both hot at the same time. Whenever Kim was on stage, Ye was in the audience and vice versa. 

Remember how Kanye was always running into poles trying to avoid the press?

With Kim’s family, it’s hard to build a team with her husband and children. That is what needed to happen but with Ye trying to keep his career going…it was hard. I sometimes wonder if he would have stayed on his meds and gotten a bit rounder just doing his fashion…oh well, sometimes when you are already living on the edge any change is a huge threat. 

Remember when they only had eyes for each other?

I really think it comes down to faith and having super thick skin to be married for 70 + years, you learn to look over the reality of another person’s development, just ask Will and Jada or Jay and Bey… it truly is a contract to share in the experiences of this lifetime. To have the same memories. I think all of Kim’s memories are shared with her family and not her husbands. 

Remember when Kim dated her husband Kanye?

All of Ye’s memories were with his beloved Mother Ms. Donda, may she rest in peace. That’s all I have to say…it’s just so sad. So many break up because of money. They both have all the money in the world but can’t work it out. If I were writing “The Book of Kim & Kanye, The Turns of Calabasas” it would be a fairy tale, a romance, an adventure, science fiction, a drama, and now a tragedy.   @Showtime hit me up for a screenplay of several adaptations of this idea…sigh…

Neither One Of Us (Wants To Be The First To Say Goodbye)

Gladys Knight

It’s sad to think
We’re not gonna make it
And it’s gotten to the point
Where we just can’t fake it

For some ungodly reason
Just won’t let it die
I guess neither one of us
Wants to be the first to say goodbye

I keep wondering
What I’m gonna do without you?
And I guess you must be
Wondering the same thing too

So we go on
Go on together living a lie
Because neither one of us
Wants to be the first to say goodbye

Every time I find the nerve
Every time I find the nerve to say, I’m leaving
Memories, those old memories
Get in my way

Lord knows it’s only me
Only know it’s only me that I’m deceiving
When it comes to saying goodbye
That a simple word that I just cannot say

There can be no way, there can be no way
This can have a happy ending, no, no
So we just go on hurting and pretending
And convincing ourselves to give it just one more try

Because neither one of us
Wants to be the first to say
Neither one of us
Wants to be the first to say
Neither one of us
Wants to be the first to say

Farewell my love
Goodbye

There comes a point of no return, you just don’t play with real love. You must respect it and protect it at all costs. A lot of us don’t know that one lesson….then again some of us surely do.

Before social media men knew how to communicate with the lady that they loved so tenderly, gently….Men just don’t have this honesty anymore.

Everybody has to learn to protect their love…

There are hills and mountains between us
Always something to get over
But if I had my way
Surely you would be closer
I need you closer


The Way We Were

Barbra Streisand

Memories
Light the corners of my mind
Misty watercolor memories
Of the way we were

Scattered pictures
Of the smiles we left behind
Smiles we gave to one another
For the way we were

Can it be that it was all so simple then?
Or has time re-written every line?
If we had the chance to do it all again
Tell me, would we?
Could we?

Memories
May be beautiful and yet
What’s too painful to remember
We simply to choose to forget

So it’s the laughter
We will remember
Whenever we remember
The way we were
The way we were

The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face

Song by Roberta Flack

The first time ever I saw your face
I thought the sun rose in your eyes
And the moon and the stars were the gifts you gave
To the dark and the endless skies, my love
To the dark and the endless skies

And the first time ever I kissed your mouth
I felt the earth move in my hand
Like the trembling heart of a captive bird
That was there at my command, my love
That was there at my command, my love

And the first time ever I lay with you
I felt your heart so close to mine
And I knew our joy would fill the earth
And last ’til the end of time my love
And it would last ’til the end of time

The first time ever I saw your face
Your face, your face, your face

So, as I have said before…I don’t know what will happen with Kanye and Kim but one thing I am certain of:

Love is still here in this world

Love never dies

Love is in smiles

And in the laughter of a child

Love goes on.
