FREE came from PRI- the Proto-Indo-European root meaning “TO LOVE”. A lot of us confuse FREEDOM as being free from any responsibilities. Absolutely not. It is an empowered state where you get to choose your responsibilities from a place of authentic and unconditional LOVE.

It is somewhat bittersweet to celebrate a life milestone while also facing the possibility that this could be my last week in this earth. It’s a strange mix of emotions. Oh well.

People who pretend to care about your mental health but then eventually mock you and make you feel that you are a burden to them.

We're really on borrowed time. Choose people that choose you, & let everyone else be.

Melinda won that lip sync! Wtf!

People can be emotionally abusive without them knowing that they are emotionally abusive.

you’ll be too much for some and not enough for others, but the ones that accept you as you are without needing to filter out your essence are the ones who deserve to experience your energy in its entirety.

control is an illusion. there’s more variability in this world than there is predictability. stop clinging to control, surrender to the natural flow of life. it feels like an unclenched jaw and relaxed shoulders.

You’ve been doing the best you can with what you have. Today is another day to try again. You got this.

Stop overthinking why people did you wrong, they did it & they meant it. Move on. It's unfair to yourself to keep trying to justify why you're holding on to toxicity. There are lessons in letting go. You don't drown by falling in the water. You drown by staying there.

@artfuIchaos to truly grasp the vigilance of a healed soul is to understand the arduous journey back to serenity once reclaimed, their sanctuary is guarded, not from pride, but from the wisdom of scars their selectivity in companionship, a testament to the value they place on their hard-won

honestly, if u know how difficult and how long it took some people to recover their peace of mind and happiness, you'll understand why they shut all doors at any slight discovery of toxicity, and also why they can be so picky about who they allow into their lives.

lingering on it does nothing for me. i’m mature enough to admit that there are certain things about people that i will never understand and it’s not my job to. moving on…

judging yourself every time you feel an emotion you don’t understand or when you feel it longer than you’d like, only keeps you in that uncomfortable state longer. feelings are information, figuring out what they’re really telling you is more effective than putting yourself down.

Dear 2023, Thank you for reminding me that if I want to ascend, I have no choice but to release all of the shit that holds me back.

It took a lot of unfolding to reach this place of self love. I will not let anyone break my spirit ever again.

Couples in healthy relationships also argue, have different opinions, feel frustrated, insecure and bored at times. Healthy doesn't mean perfect. What makes a relationship healthy is that you understand that it is you and them versus the problem. Not you versus them.

People who hate other people hate themselves the most.

no matter what you do, people gonna view you how they want. they’ll paint the narrative that suits them best, not suits you.
