As a Black woman, I am deeply uninterested in spending the second half of my life proving how much I can endure.
I would like to explore how much joy I can hold.
One of the hardest thing about the waiting season is that you never know how close or how far your breakthrough is. All you can do is pray for the staying power.
i saw a quote that said “everyone loves you when you let everything slide, but the moment you start setting boundaries and holding people accountable, you become the one that’s difficult” and that’s real shit.
My mind is so programmed to think about how blessed I am. No matter what I go through, my thoughts always lead me back to gratitude, because I have never faced anything that God hasn’t brought me through.
the beautiful thing about life is we can always hit reset. take a shower, make some tea, forgive yourself for any mistakes, make a new plan, pray & tomorrow start fresh
