Turmoil and Pain

Somebody said:

Praying for my downfall don’t make you religious.

And Chile…

There is so much to unpack there, but imma leave that alone.

I will say this tho…

Observe and Notice.

Notice who makes you feel good about yourself.

Notice who lifts you up and encourages you.

Notice who shows up for things that matter to you.

Notice who you hesitate to share good news with.

Notice who tries to convince you that you're overreacting when you share your thoughts, feelings, and truth.

Notice who always posts bad pictures of you. *

Notice who watches you, but never has your back.

Notice who receives, but rarely gives.

Notice who celebrates others, but never celebrates you.

And know…

They ain’t celebrating you because they ain’t happy for you like that.

Everybody with you ain’t For you, and it is so important that we recognize and understand the difference.

So many of us have gone and go through so much turmoil and pain trying to be loyal to people that are only loyal to themselves, and what they want or need from you.

It’s hard, but it’s true.

Some of us are drowning because the people with us are drilling holes in the boat.

So look at your circle, because…

Sometimes the call is coming from inside the house.

Remove some of them chairs from the table, baby.

It’s okay to sit and eat alone for a while.

It’s okay to choose you.

It’s okay.
