I spent so much time making sure everybody else was good that I got used to putting myself last. The more I kept showing up for people, the more they expected it without thinking twice. After a while I realized I was giving people a version of me I wasn’t even giving myself. If choosing me makes me look selfish, I’m cool with that. I know what it feels like to always come last, and I’m not living like that anymore.
i’m learning to pray about everything fr. my attitude, my emotions, my overthinking, my healing, my habits, the people i attract, my lack of motivation sometimes… all of it. i give it to God because i know i can’t carry everything on my own💯.
I sit quietly and realize that God has been taking care of me this whole time. Maybe not in luxurious ways. Maybe not an easy life. But through protection,provision, good health, surviving hard days and always having just enough to keep going.
REAL peace is knowing I don't HAVE to deal with ANYTHING that I don't WANT to deal with! This ONE year has taught me three important lessons: leave people where they at, accept situations for what they are and not every action deserves a reaction.Saying less produces SO MUCH MORE
I’m at a point in my life where as long as I know I did right by you, I’m okay with walking away when something no longer works. I used to hold on longer than I should’ve because I cared, because of history, or because I wanted things to work out. But I’ve learned you can’t keep carrying relationships by yourself. If I showed up, kept it real, and did my part, that’s enough for me. Whether it’s family, friends, whoever, I don’t force what’s no longer mutual. I just leave it where it’s at and keep moving.
