You are meant to change. You are meant to change your mind. You are meant to change your perception. You are meant to change what you think you want within this world. You are meant to evolve, you are meant to adapt, you are meant to grow. You are meant to shed old layers.
You are meant to let go. The body is designed to digest and metabolize and renew itself, cell by cell, and thought by thought. Trust the process. Realize that we don't ever really have to let go; we just have to accept what's already gone.
We don't have to grieve what we think the world took, but to remember that whatever beauty we grew within our lives is still within us— and wherever we go, and whatever we do next, we will grow it there, too. Everything that's truly meant for you will be waiting for you on the other side, because everything that's truly meant for you is still within you. It always has been.

You might define yourself by your struggles, but others define you by your soul. You might not be able to see beyond your fears about yourself, but others see the beautiful things you bring into this world, the way you laugh and show up for the ones you love, and all of the lightness in who you are. Others see your gifts, your talents, and your kindness. Sometimes, you have to learn to see yourself with the grace of someone not so critically evaluating whether or not you deserve to be loved. You are love itself. Let it out, and let it be met, let it be taken, and let it be given back to you in even greater degrees.

Walk away from people who put you down.

Walk away from fights that will never be solved.

Walk away from trying to please people who will never see your worth.

The more you walk away from things that poison your soul, the healthier you will be.

It took me a long time to realize that not everything in life is meant to be a beautiful story. Not every person we feel something deep and moving with is meant to make a home within us, is meant to be a forever.
Sometimes, people come into our lives to teach us how to love; and sometimes, people come into our lives to teach us how not to love. How not to settle, how not to shrink ourselves ever again. Yes, sometimes people leave—but that's okay, because their lessons always stay, and that is what matters. That is what remains.

Some days the point is simply to be in the garden, to walk without a destination in mind. To write and never find the end of the sentence. To love without knowing entirely where that love will lead. To listen and not speak. To find salve in the quiet moments that nobody else will see. Maybe you are not meant to find an answer in every hour, but to finally realize that not everything is an open-ended question, somethings are just meant to be.

You will change. You will fall out of love with people you thought you'd love forever. And you will question friendships you've had your whole life. Your opinion on so many things will morph and transform as you gain more wisdom, experience, and life. You don't know everything, and you will never know everything. More than this though, you are allowed to change. Some people may try to make you feel bad for it. Because as you change, they have to change. They have to adjust their perception of who they thought you were and who they'd committed to believing you are. It doesn't mean you're at fault—it just means that this is uncomfortable for them. But the discomfort of others does not mean you should resist the change.
You cannot keep yourself timid and scared, or you will never meet the you that's waiting at the end of this road. If you don't give in to who you are becoming, you will never l become.

Be prayerful about who you date and marry!! 💗💕🫶🏼

Because boyfriends become husbands and husbands become fathers. Date a Godly man!! Because he’s not just the man you will marry one day… he’s also the man who will raise children with you. So don’t just ask yourself if he would be a good, Godly husband. Ask yourself this too: Could he also be a Godly father one day? This is so important!! 💗

Amen if you agree ❤️

I really hope this year ends on a good note. It's been a rollercoaster, and it feels like we all just need that final stretch to be calm and positive. There's still time for things to turn around or for some good vibes to come our way. I'm just holding onto the hope that the last bit of the year brings some peace and a sense of closure before we dive into a fresh start.

Slow down when you're happy. Forget about the rush of society's deadlines. Focus on what you want instead. Practice trusting your own choices. Take accountability for those decisions, even when they don't go the way you hoped they would learn from your mistakes. Remember when you got it right, too. Protect your energy. Stop trying to impress people you don't even like. Ask for help. Keep learning. Keep hoping. Keep both feet on the ground. Stay close to those who feel like home. Let go of anyone who makes you question your worth. Be vulnerable. Be fair. Be open. Live according to your own values and build a life that feels like yours. Take care of your mind. Nourish your body. Feed your soul. Chase your joy. Heal. Embrace solitude. Stop apologizing for taking up space. Say what you need to say. Feel what you need to feel. Stop expecting yourself to be perfect. Allow yourself to be human. Look around you. Celebrate the little wins. Accept the downfalls with as much grace as you can muster. Forgive yourself when you fall short. Try again. Try again. Try again. Never stop trying.

The Different Ways You Abandon Yourself

- Saying "yes" when you're aching to say "no." Apologizing to someone who owes you the apology. Digging your heels in deeper when you know you're the one in the wrong. Over-explaining your truth to someone who stopped listening a long time ago. Romanticizing the bare minimum. Begging for basic decency. Chasing people who do not want to be caught. Building a life based on what you think looks "good" but not on what actually feels good. Ignoring your intuition. Ignoring your body. Ignoring your needs. Contorting and bending and breaking to fit in places you know you've outgrown. Staying in a relationship that has run its course. Not allowing time for deep rest. Running on fumes. Staying quiet when someone disrespects you. Refusing to allow what already is. Lying to yourself. Never asking for help. Never taking a chance on yourself. Never living up to your own word. Celebrating those who only tolerate you. Wishing you were someone else.

Don't worry so much about love.
Don't worry so much about who's going to love you, or how they're going to love you, or when you're going to find love.
Love is the most infinite and effortless presence in this world. It's found in the tiny crevices of human nature-in the way flowers bloom and in the way birds always have enough food to eat. It's found in hospital rooms, and grocery stores, in home cooked meals, and in the smiles of passing strangers. Love is in the music you listen to, and in the jokes you make, and it's in the way you always return home for the holidays. Love is 'are you okay,' and 'get home safe,' and 'did you have enough food to eat. Love is the way your heart beats every day and how your body wakes up every morning and how your soul continues to exist so freely. You don't need to worry about love. It is all around you, every day, in every moment. It can reach you at your best and it will meet you at your worst. There is no force in this world stronger than love. There is no reason to believe that love cannot find you.

Have you ever experienced the pain of falling in love with someone-not because of who they are but because of who they could be, because of who they would be if they lived up to their promises, if they lived up to their words, if the had a heart like yours. It hurts to see so much potential in someone who has no desire to be the person you know they are worthy of becoming. If you have experienced this before, I want you to know that you deserve someone who is everything you need, someone who keeps their promises someone who has more than just potential. You deserve someone who follows through. You deserve to have every little bit of energy you put in, given back. You deserve it all.
