I feel like I talked too much this year, like I begged to be understood, & overly explained myself & tried to convince people of my worth..& that's something I'II never do again. I'm done talking.
you’ve outgrown it for a reason. it isn’t by your side anymore because the weight of your steps need to be felt differently, it doesn’t feel as familiar as it used to because you’re not the same person you used to be, you lost grip of it because it was never yours to begin with.
Crazy how peaceful life becomes when you accept your flaws so no one can use them against you, raise your emotional intelligence so no one can play mind games with you, and remember exactly what happened so no one can gaslight you and make you doubt your own sanity.
Dear God: Thank you for keeping me out of rooms I wanted to be in but didn't belong in. Thank you for giving me the strength to build my own instead of begging to be a part of theirs. AMEN.
