I'm slowly learning that even if I react, it won't change anything, it won't make people suddenly love and respect me, it won't magically change their minds.
Sometimes it's better to just let things be, let people go, don't fight for closure, don't ask for explanations, don't chase answers and don't expect people to understand where you're coming from.
I'm slowly learning that life is better lived when you don't center it on what's happening around you and center it on what's happening inside you instead.

my therapist dropped a gem: “you can't spend your life avoiding heartbreak or bad things from happening. you have to condition yourself to have appropriate emotional responses but learn to keep moving forward” whewww
watch a bird. it doesn't pray to fly. doesn't beg the wind. doesn't fear the void. it spreads wings like god's first word - and rises. no fear. no doubt. just pure faith in what it can't see. while we doubt miracles, it performs them with every heartbeat. and i remember - this is how we're meant to live.
I know this is gonna sound very weird but
I swear I can hear silence
There’s a very thin noise that I can notice when the environment is quiet
It’s like I’m hearing reality itself
People move on after mistreating you. They’re not sitting up in a room like Brandy thinking about you. Most of the time they move on and live perfectly fine after doing you dirty. So release yourself from the shackles of waiting for someone to regret how they mistreated you
Boredom is a sin committed only by those whose minds lack ambition, with hearts void of a sense of duty. There is always more to do. For yourself, and the advancement of your own aims—and for others, those you are responsible for, and for the betterment of mankind as a whole.
Lord, cure me of my stupidity. Help me think more logically, make greater decisions, and speak more prudently too. Free me of my laziness and liberate me of my corrupt desires. Ensure i actualize my fullest potential to do good for myself, my family, & others
Guide my decisions, curate my thoughts, absolve my worries, eradicate my doubts, & pave way for my success. Instill in my heart & those i encounter the powerful love of Christ so that our lives serve as testament to your goodwill
And in all my struggles, successes, joys, & pains, i will give glory & honor & thanks & praise to your name
