The older you get the more you'll realize that everything really is that deep. The people you confide in, trust, date, become friends with, the opportunities you take. What you watch & listen to. What you eat. & even what you consume mentally, emotionally, & spiritually. It's very deep and shouldn't be taken lightly. This is your only life. enjoy it. But, be more intentional about it each & everyday.
i think it's beautiful how life gives you infinite chances to experience better. just when you think you'll never find better, you walk right into better and your heart softens again.
Tolerating always turns to resentment. At first, you call it patience, then love. But what it really is, is self-abandonment. Every time you swallow a boundary, excuse a pattern, or silence your discomfort, something inside you keeps score. And eventually, the bill comes due.
Jill Scott on cutting toxic people off:
“At this age, my sword is hot, it's sharp. It's black so you can't see it in the dark, And it will cauterize before you know you're dead, and I have no negative feelings about it.”
“The secret to success is the ability to fail, lose, wanting to quit but still having the passion, the hunger and the desire to beat all of those….”
— Kendrick Lamar
If you pay attention to the patterns of your life, you’ll realise that everything always works out. Everything always takes you to a greater destination. You always grow, and the things you think you can't survive, you somehow divinely make it through. That's life. Remember that.
