What the fuck are you afraid of?
Death?
We’re all gonna die.
Bankruptcy?
You can make it all back.
Shame?
Everyone will forget in a week.
What the fuck are you afraid of?
There is nothing to fear.
Fight for the life you deserve.

Pause for a second and really think about this…
How many hardships did they survive?
How many silent battles did they fight?
How many tears did they wipe away?
How many moments of joy did they celebrate?
How many love stories began so that yours could one day exist?
How many dreams for a better future were whispered into the dark?
All of it…
just so you could be here, alive, in this moment
This apology is to my friends. I’m sorry if I don’t reach out anymore. I’m fighting for my life every day, second-guessing my career, doubting my life choices, scrolling through social media, and sleeping whenever I get free time just to escape reality.
Tryna pay rent while tryna pay bills while tryna knock down old debt while tryna fix your credit while tryna save a little while tryna heal from the stuff you don’t talk about while tryna stay positive when life keep throwing rocks while tryna live right and still forcing a smile through all the pressure… it gets overwhelming, it gets heavy, it’ll have you feeling like life got you in a chokehold, but stay focused, breathe, keep pushing, everything you’re fighting for is lining up even if you can’t see it yet. 😮💨❤️
Document your life. Your fits, your friends, your family, your food, your face, your body, your trips, your outings, your reads, your lows, your highs, your midpoints & so & so & so. You don’t need to share but document, do it for yourself too first & foremost, not anyone else
Bro to bro: Don’t ever think you’re untouchable. Life can humble anyone-sickness, death, a job gone. In the blink of an eye, everything can change. Tables turn. That’s how crazy life gets. Always pray, stay humble, be thankful.
Ngl relationships set me back. I lose my focus and sometimes even myself and i can't afford that right now. I do so much better alone.. and it's so much more to life! My time will come.
Stop being a loser. Wake up early. Hit the gym. Clean your room. Do the dishes. Put some cool clothes on. Listen to music. Do your makeup. Pay your bills. Pay off your CC. Work three jobs if you have to. Don’t stop till you have at least 20k in the bank. Figure out what you want to do. Spend your life trying to do it. More importantly, figure out who you want to be. Spend your life being them. Try hard. It’s cool to care. Be the one who cares the most. Don’t give up. But have the wherewithal to know when to pivot. If it were easy, everyone would do it. Hard does not equal bad. Have a back bone. Grow some balls. Go all the way. Smile at everyone. Life is electric and then it’s over. You can be happy or you can be miserable. Remember. You’re not the only one who’s had it bad. Someone else has been in your shoes. If they can do it, so can you. No one is special. Everyone is. Keep going. Don’t look back.
