the trick is having the courage to live through a chapter you hate without letting it poison your belief in the story. even in the middle of something painful, you can hold onto that deep pull toward what your life could become. so much of life comes down to your ability to keep believing in what you cannot see yet, to keep faith in the story while you’re still living through the parts that make it hard to believe
I really hope women understand that you can be a wonderful person with a few embarrassing stories attached to your name. Please don’t spend your entire adulthood trying to prove you were never young, confused, impulsive or human.
Sometimes the Universe encourages certain people to misunderstand you, distance themselves from you, or even dislike you because their absence protects the peace you’re growing into. That's divine protection making room for the right people, and the right alignment to find you.
when someone liberates themselves from this life, the void they leave can feel unmournable, just endless waves of why.
I still think of Regina King’s reflection on the self-liberation of her son, Ian, and her salving lesson of learning to respect his choice.
hope this helps.
One thing I am learning as I grow is to reduce the urge to ask for advice. 🙏🏾 Sometimes in life you just need to trust your gut feeling and instincts , pray about certain things and take the decision alone. Asking for advice will cripple your ability to trust your decisions.
I saw a post that said “I only want people around me who love tf outta me” & I never felt something so bad 😭 the way I have ptsd from people pretending to love me fr is crazy
