when Jhené Aiko said you gotta lose your mind just to find your peace of mind that is so true. you really have to go through a dark time, but there is definitely light at the end of the tunnel.

no matter what you experience, keep your intentions pure, keep your soul pure.

It won’t happen overnight, but if you quit, it won’t happen at all.

If you never give yourself a chance to relax, even if you don’t think you feel stressed, you’re more prone to chronic anxiety, hormonal issues, poor digestion, insomnia, etc. Having more idle time also gives you room for creativity to flow and lower your cortisol levels.

might get cancelled for this but i find it disrespectful when people don’t stand up for the national anthem. I get goosebumps every time i hear “if you see me & you tryna see wassup”

An aggressive Karen tried to come around the desk and get physical with a sista on her job. The sista delivered a Harriet Tubman Take-down. Followed by a Coretta Scott King Kick. She was about to finish with some Montgomery Chair action, but someone came to save the Karen #BlackAugust

friendships that honor your shifts as you lean into truth and become more you, friendships that view growth as oxygen required to breathe within the connection, friendships that hold no malice towards your inability to show up in your inconsistent stages, friendships like this.

there isn’t a more beautiful version of you than the one that is able to show up with no apology letters attached to your essence. free from opinions, unattached to ideas people try to project, distanced from assumptions that don’t belong to you, fully immersed in your truth.

is it bad that i wanna try it….

ur whole life can be altered just by associating with someone. so yes. be selective.

One thing about me I always move with love and pure intentions, but I won’t prove it.

Don't protect yourself so much that you become a prisoner in your own mind. Healing isn't really protecting..healing is feeling, releasing and letting go.

masking your pain becomes a habit when you normalize being performative over being honest with yourself in your most uncomfortable moments. sweeping your trauma under the rug won’t speed up your healing or make the wound magically disappear.

talking to ppl use to make me feel like I was oversharing bc I respond with details & paint the full picture.. but eventually I realized, I just practice transparency.. talking to some ppl is like pulling teeth, they give the bare minimum & wonder why they dnt connect with ppl.
