but you see, they could never be you even if they tried. they can imitate the shape of your light, but they’ll never find the source of it.

[billy chapata. @iambrillyant]

lately, i’ve been making peace whenever my steps are misunderstood, holding hands with patience when my triggers try to pull me off my path, letting my growth speak for itself instead of waiting for applause. i’d rather be misread and moving than understood and still.

Meditations

[billy chapata. @iambrillyant]

know when your empathy has overstayed its welcome. you can understand someone’s pain without volunteering your spirit as its shelter.

[billy chapata. @iambrillyant]

they’ll grieve the access they once had to you and call it missing who you used to be, but the thing is you aren’t different, at least in how they think, you just aren’t abandoning yourself to maintain a version of you they were comfortable with.

[billy chapata. @iambrillyant]

my growth does not come with disclaimers.

In Gramsci’s theory of Hegemony, he contends that power determines and entrenches what comes to be known as ‘common sense’. Going by this theory, when power becomes stupid, stupidity becomes common sense. Intelligence becomes a security threat. This is when power starts to elevate fools while suspecting and hunting down intelligent people.

be careful who you show your light to, which spaces you express your passion in, what ears you share your truth with; not every mirror can hold your glow without trying to imitate it and not every room can hold your fire without trying to dim it.

august, infuse my self-worth with handfuls of protection and refresh parts of me i’ve neglected to love. give me the clarity to know what i deserve and softness to forgive myself for forgetting. break any illusion that kept me chasing what was never mine. ignite healthier habits.

the old idea of you that they are stuck on is not a version of yourself that you have to keep giving oxygen to in order to breathe life into their misconceptions.

[billy chapata. @iambrillyant]

sometimes why people left isn’t as important as how they left things with you. the energy that lingers from the way they departed from your life will tell you all you need to know about their intentions.

what’s in alignment with me
will never ask me
to abandon my authenticity

[billy chapata. @iambrillyant]

the person you want to be doesn’t require a new timeline to be birthed, the version of you that you want to see doesn’t require a new year to be unearthed, you can begin today, exactly where you are; you have always been the catalyst you need to spark your intentions.
