Oh shit, we back on the air. Welcome back to yet another Caffley Reckless episode. It's your girl Just Hilarious and I'm here to fix some mess. We're going to jump straight in y'all. Y'all see how I just started talking like I wasn't about to tell y'all how I took two weeks off. I had to do some shit, man. I had to do some shit, but now I'm back. All right, so we got a couple voice notes, but this story seems a little juicy. She wrote this in, so I'm just going to read it.

Hey Jess, my name is Kimberly. This is my first time doing this because I'm not one to speak on what's bothering me, but I really need your advice at this point. So I hope you get to read this. So here it is. I've been in a long distance relationship with this guy since October of last year. He lives in California where I'm from and I live in Texas now. I've been knowing him since I was 14 and he was 12. So yes, he's younger than me, but that's besides the point right now.

So he was in jail for 13 years and got out and I was in a halfway house. Oh wait, not you. Okay, him. He got out and was in a halfway house for a year. And that's when me and him started talking again. He was supposed to come move to Texas with me, but when he got out of the halfway house...

Due to him being a level four in jail, they said he was high risk and have to be on probation for a year before he could move here with me. And I was cool with that because we got along so well. We had a lot in common and things were great. We were just getting to know each other again.

Goddamn.

Now, on February 2nd of this year, which was his birthday, he got mad at me for telling him people are not obligated to give him a birthday party. He has grown now and people do it because they want to, not because they have to. And he disrespected me in so many ways for saying that.

What? Hold up. How the fuck? Oh, yeah, I left that part out because we had got engaged. All right. So obviously, I'll move forward. All right. Continuing.

We were still fine after that. But then March came around and he started changing. He was rarely calling and texting like he used to be. But we still talked every day. Now April comes around and he was getting out the halfway house that month. And he just started to disappear like he stopped calling, only texting when he needed something.

I will go to Cali and visit him and everything is great. But as soon as I come back to Texas, he's right back on his disappearing act again. I've voiced my opinion about how I felt about the situation on so many occasions, but he always tried to guilt me saying things like I'm not being understanding or I need to realize he's out there alone and have nobody. And he's trying to adjust being out in the world again and he has to do it alone. And I get that. But my whole thing is what is a phone call or text message?

Right. It ain't like his ass ain't been doing it before. But I know this story all too well because I had one of these back in my day. So I'm about to continue. I don't ask him for nothing besides his attention. And he can't even give me that. Like we are not long distance already.

I've given up or at least said I give up on multiple occasions. But as soon as he hit me up needing something, I jump and do it because I'm that type of person. I can't see someone struggling and don't think about it when I have it to help. I told him many times how I feel when nothing has changed. I know what I need to do. Trust me, I do. But I really need your help on this situation. Well, if you know what to do, why the hell do you need my help?

Continuing. Then she said something else.

Sorry, I know my message is long as fuck, but you did say you need all the meat on the bone. So I try not to leave nothing out. Laugh my ass off. Well, it definitely was a juicy damn story and I can relate to it. That's how juicy it was that I can relate.

I actually had, I've dealt with, I could say about two or three jailbirds in my day. And yes, that's how it happens. I actually happened to deal with someone years back who had came home, who I thought was coming home and then he had gotten, he

He got released, but he had to go and spend a year in a halfway house. And then as the time narrowed down to the time that he was supposed to come home, the phone calls lessened. The amount of time we were on the phone lessened. The text messages got shorter and shorter. The letters just stopped. And he had somebody else. You know what I'm saying? Come to find out, he had had somebody that he was going to come home and marry, was telling me all the same things. And then

was telling somebody else all the same things just so happened that he could actually do it with her because she was

a lot older and a lot more stable. I was younger and he was older and that's how that goes. But that was just to touch the surface to let you know that I've been through this before. So you don't have to feel like you're the only girl, you're the only person that you feel stupid and all this type of shit. I was there before and it's not about you feeling stupid, is it? Because like you said, you know what you have to do, but your heart won't let you. No, you won't let you. It ain't your damn heart. You control every part of your body, every part of it, whether you know it or not.

You do, you know what I'm saying? You just need to find that strength and you need to, um,

Know your value. I don't feel like you know your value because this person is not even home yet. You know what I'm saying? Like you're really giving your life, like draining yourself, trying to keep up with somebody that ain't even on the outside yet. How you trying to keep up with a nigga that ain't even out? You know what I'm saying? That's not what you're supposed to be doing. Now, I appreciate you being understanding because yes, we know how it goes. When these men are in jail,

Just like when women are in jail, but we're speaking on men. Yeah, it is lonely. It's definitely lonely in those halfway homes and, you know, only being able to talk to people certain hours out the day. And, you know, you really get to see who's for you when you're in a situation like that. You know, you get to see who's for you. You get to see who's not. But on the flip side of that, you really get to see how a person can manipulate you too.

You know what I'm saying? How they can be selfish in a way, you know? And then it is very cliche, but hurt people hurt people. His ass hurt in jail for 19 years, I think you said. The hell? He hurt. He's probably had people leave him in there, promise him shit, don't, you know? And then it's not a lot to hold on to when you like the way that long. And then yes, he has to adjust being out in the world, you know? So maybe that's not really where you need to be right now. Yes, I know you love him.

And things like this happen. You need this to grow. You need this to grow. This is just you growing. Seriously. A lot of times we as women also could feel like if there's history there and there's time between you two and then you come back, then it must be meant. That doesn't, hell no. That doesn't necessarily mean that it's meant because this is a person from your past. Don't ever think that. Don't ever think that.

Don't ever think that that's always the case because it very well cannot be as well as it very well could be, you know. So you have to be careful with that type of situation. But I want you to keep in contact and definitely update me because I need to know. You know what you need to do. But I think you're resting on the fact that he may change his mind when he get out and just come to you. And you're thinking that all of this would have been for nothing if he don't.

No, that's how you learn yourself. You know, you're dating and it happens. But I'm letting you know right now, hitting this nice old beezy. My sister just rolled up. I think my boyfriend rolled this blunt. Yeah, whoever rolled it. It's hitting good. And I'm letting you know that ain't it, champ. That ain't it. Hold up, hold up. I know this shit getting good, but listen to just a couple seconds of a commercial. If you love me, you'll listen.

Here's a little secret. Most smartphone deals aren't that exciting. To be honest, they're barely worth mentioning. But then there's AT&T and their best deals. Those are quite exciting. They're the kind of deals that are worth talking about. Like their deal on the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 6.

All right, so we moving on. Okay, y'all, so this is an update. This is from, because I do remember reading this story. Jess, this is some really mess, but more of a youngin' asking for some advice. Okay, so this is a 23-year-old who kept saying he wanted to run away and that, uh...

He's trying to figure out how not to be alone or how to get used to being alone because he's been in and out of relationships since he was 13. And my mama already told me I'm too young to be thinking like this. And this is the reason why I'm trying to run away. Okay. All right. Well, this is the response. Oh, shit. The response say, damn, I look like a boy. Oh.

How embarrassing. Thanks so much for the advice, Jess. I guess my real question was how do I start the process of self-love? You're absolutely right. Lack of self-love is very apparent and it's starting to show in everyday situations. I know I'm young, but my biggest fear is failure and rejection. If I don't put myself out there, I can't get let down. I'm trying to get over that. I am not looking for love, Jess, I promise. I'm running away to find me.

I just don't know where to look. Also, it's crazy that you said I should be a therapist. That's almost exactly what I want to go to college for. I'm starting this fall for psychology, minoring in social work. Thank you again, gorgeous. Aw, thank you. And no, I'm so sorry. I did not know that you wasn't a boy. I'm sorry. No, you don't look... Okay, see, I didn't go to your damn page. I just looked at your little thumbnail. And yeah, you look...

my gosh, all right, no, you don't, sorry, I love you, you're going to make me cuss at you, girl, my bad, I ain't know, but listen, I wasn't knocking you running away, I thought you literally meant running away, like you're going to pack a bag and throw a damn fit, now, if you are, if you're moving away, you know, to find you, that's fine, don't, don't,

Change the narrative of it. Don't say running. Don't call it running because running makes it something else. You know what I'm saying? That's something else. You're running to run away from something is to avoid it. You know what I'm saying? Just to be running away from it, you know, is exactly what it is. So don't say it like that. Paraphrase it and just say it.

You're going on a journey to find yourself. You know what I mean? I mean, then you're 23. You don't have to run away, right? You're not being held captive. You're just going to go look for you. That's different. You said it like you was running away. So that's how I addressed it. But I want you to do whatever you have to do for you, though. And since you promised me you wasn't finding love, then that's not a problem, right?

You know, then you ain't going to need nobody to do it. Now, I'm not saying you don't need people, but you don't need a companion right now if you don't even know who you are. You get what I'm saying? So think about that last, you know, if you can help it. Because sometimes these hopeless romantics just can't help it, you know, and I can relate to that as well. But you seem to have it figured out a little bit, a little bit. So hit me back a little bit. If you love me, you'll listen to this commercial and then we'll be right back.

Moving on, and this is the last one, y'all, before I get up out of here. So this one is written as well. Hey, Jess, I love your podcast. I need you to fix my mess. So I started dating this guy and he was literally perfect. Everything I wanted. When I would see him, all I would do is melt.

One day, I wanted to take it a step further, so I invited him over for Father's Day to meet my dad and the rest of my family. Everything was great, and we had a good time. I invited him over a second time for an event, and that's when it went downhill. Oh, shit. Girl, my life was in shambles, but let me tell you.

Me and my family, we big shroom, okay? And we decided to do it that day. As I started feeling them, he started saying things kind of fucking my head up, which made me distant from him shortly after that. He came into my room talking to me and I saw a demon pop up behind him and bitch, when I say I was petrified, I was petrified.

I ended up kicking him out, which I felt bad about. And I talked to him about it later that night. We had a good conversation, but things are really weird now. And it's just causing me to be a little mean to him and push him away. Just what the fuck should I do? Because that's some crazy shit.

Oh, wow, honey, that is some crazy powerful shit. And sometimes some things aren't to be fucked with. I'm just going to say, you know, some energies are not to be tampered with and just, you just, damn, that's so, yo, you got me at a loss. I don't

I wouldn't know. Does he astral project? I mean, I don't know because that's giving me astral projection. I mean, are you into astral projection? If you're not into it, you should definitely look it up for sure. I would definitely take a look at Insidious if you haven't watched that shit. I mean, not to scare the life out of you, but just to let you know shit like that is totally normal in other parts of the world. And it happens, but I don't know if, because I've shroomed, but I've never seen a demon before.

That's crazy. I think, what did he say when you told him about it? You got to update me because I need to know what he said. What you mean I talked about it? You didn't even tell me shit. You talking about what should you do? You should tell me the rest of what happened so I can tell you what else to do. This shit is good. This is crazy. I mean, I know you were scared and I'm sorry, but this is my first case. I feel...

This is great. This is not, you know, I hope you're okay. Just update me. I'm gonna get out of here on that note. Got my first paranormal activity story. I feel like a damn detective. I feel good about it. Y'all know because I'm feeling my blunt nail and I really feel like I can solve this. I just, I want this person to keep up with me. I want them to keep up with me, y'all.

All right, so we come to the end of yet another Caffefully Reckless episode with your girl Jess Hilarious. I just be fixing mess up and down, inside out, and all of that. Y'all can catch me. Nah, y'all can catch me. So this is what happens when you hit the blunt in the middle of a podcast, of a little podkizzle. All right. I'll see y'all asses next Wednesday. And in my deepest pan voice, peace.
