I am going to be fully transparent here and just let the cat out of the bag: Finding motivation to do anything these past couple of weeks and months has been difficult. Have you been feeling like that too, or is it just me?

I was used to settling because my eyes couldn’t look further than what was right in front of me. You need to see the big picture, is what I am told very often but how do I see the big picture when everything seems blurry?

“You cannot heal in the same environment that made you sick.” I saw this quote on Instagram and it struck me hard.

There’s a time to fall. There’s a time to be raw. There’s a time to bloom. There’s a time to blossom. As she carefully watched the trees, she smiled and thought: We all go through it. ~seasons.

Women are sensual beings. Read that again and again, because we don’t read it very often. I’ve had countless conversations with girlfriends and female acquaintances and we all came to the same conclusion: girls need love, too.

I woke up that morning feeling blah. The moment my feet touched the ground of my cold floor, leaving the comfort of my warm blanket, I could feel annoyance and weariness creeping up, a weird pore clogging, life sucking vibe and negative energy taking me out of dream land into firm reality

I rushed into relationships and friendships because I was scared to be alone. Whew. Admitting that to yourself can be scary and it can quickly put you in a place of guilt

I listened to my body and magic happened.

Protect your energy. Is it just me or is this heatwave making me rethink even more the people and energies I surround myself with?

Love and happiness can happen if we let it, which most of the time we don’t, because of those that disappointed us the last couple of times and made what was once a soft place, hard as stone (thank you for that btw)

I have been writing letters lately. Letters to myself past, present and future

I am my ancestors' wildest dreams.

There are always multiple ways to get to your destination, one may take you longer than the other but you will get there eventually.

Drake said no new friends and I’m still contemplating whether it came from a place of hurt or experience. Meeting new people is always exciting, the honeymoon phase of friendship when you share, over share, over trust and over do it.

But in all realness I have been doing exactly that with my life. Looking at all the things that were not going the way I had planned them to (because control freak) and not seeing what was developing underneath the surface.

Sometimes, there are days where I feel like I’m on top of the world, other times it feels like the world is on top of me, right now is other times. I feel heavy, my skin is acting up, breaking out like crazy and on top of it all my fro is not loving me back.When it rains it pours.

All of a sudden, my heart started racing, I could feel my pulse rising with every second that went by, my breathing became unsteady and my head was spinning. It felt like someone had punched me in the gut and the only remedy was to close my eyes, to find sleep

“It feels like day *insert insanely high number* of social distancing.” - all of us.

“Do something nice for yourself today. Find some quiet, sit in stillness, breathe. Put your problems on pause. You deserve a break.” -Akiroq Brost

I don’t limit the celebration of women to one day alone, women should be celebrated every single day.
