You May Fall Down, But You Can Still Get Back UP!

Hello fellow readers,

I’ve been away for some time because I was going through my struggles and needed to clear my mind and find out what matters in this life. With time, brought me the courage to write and be open with myself.

Here’s a message I’d love for you to hear. Even if it’s just one person reading this, I hope it helps in some way. We’re all learning and growing in this life so no judgments, only an open mind. Enjoy! xo

Stay focused. That’s what I’ve been doing lately. It’s been a minute since I’ve written a well-polished blog post. I know. Why is she slacking? What has she been doing all this time? I’ve been busy staying productive and enjoying the present moment. I feel as if I always wanted more out of life; more friends, more success, more! More! More. I was conditioned to always strive for perfection, not coming to terms with the fact that that’s not reality. Was that what I was climbing to reach? It couldn’t be. With success brings loneliness. With life comes trial and error and also failure, but we tend to hide our faults and shine a light on our achievements. Oh- you're jobless? What? Why, what happened? You mean to tell me you haven’t found anything yet? Are you applying are you doing enough? We want to hide our truths. In a way, I felt shameful not wanting anyone to know what’s going on in my life. But the pain of being jobless has brought a sense of hope and gratitude knowing that something is out there coming for me. I’ve learned so much about myself with all this spare time on my hands. I’ve found out who’s real and who’s not. I don’t overthink as much anymore, and I don’t take things too personally (I’m overly sensitive… just hate to admit it).

I’m staying committed to focusing on me and my journey through life. My thoughts were negatively consuming me. I was headed into a dark place if I didn’t have the means to pull myself out of it. Let me enjoy my loved one’s presence. Let me just live. I feel as if I’m right back on track. I was always searching for more excitement. I lost interest easily. I got bored. I was searching for someone to save me when I really needed to save myself- which I did. I’m finally doing big things, making an impact on society, meeting exciting people and living to my fullest. I may not have a lot “financially,” but I am making ends meet-and it’s just up from here.

Ya see, you don’t have to have it all together to do big things. You can do big things now right as we speak... right where you are. If you love to play basketball, craft that shit! Wake up and shoot some hoops. Breathe it. Do you enjoy doing makeup? Practice on yourself, practice on your friends, your mom, hey, even your dad… he’ll allow you to do it. Don’t ever give up because you don’t have the money or the resources- if you want it, you’ll find a way to make it no matter your circumstances. I had a friend tell me if you really love writing, you won’t get bored of it or lose interest because it’s your passion. That hit me deeply because he was right. Writing is me. It’s an extension of myself. While life does come with struggles, hold onto your passions; what makes you happy because you never know where it’ll take you, who you’ll meet and how far you’ll go. You may just impact someone else’s life drastically and change lives.

You have the ability to do BIG THINGS! So just do it! :)

Til next time lovers!
