“There’s been plenty of times those close to me missed important dates and occasions but I don’t have bad blood towards them. Some people are genuinely doing the best they know how with what they got. We can’t expect even our closest loved ones to always be there or have space for us. Support is a two way street yes but give people grace to be what they can be not who you want them to be. I had to stop taking a lot personal a long time ago. The biggest lesson for me right now is learning how to parent, befriend, show up for, and love MYSELF. P.S. Cling to nothing/no one.”

On this journey, I had to get into a space where I stopped taking things personally because everything is not meant to be taken personal. We have to release these attachments that we have with human things to truly connect to source energy/spirit. There is so much pressure put on people by societal expectations as to how we are suppose to show up in specific roles in life. Honestly, people are showing up the way, in which, they know how. They are using the tools, knowledge and experiences they have gained and are just tying to figure it out. We are ALL trying to figure it out. It is time to go beyond these structures that are conditioned for us to meet. We have to parent, befriend, and support ourselves. No more looking unto others for external validation. We have to be in a space where we step into our own sovereignty, autonomy and self-sufficiency. Know that these societal structures mean nothing in the realm of higher consciousness, source energy.

The age of social media made me notice key things about imitation and duplication, that everyone are not original nor have the ability to be an innovator. I realize that people who carbon-copy me, are inspired by me. I am truly gifted as a creator as I can make something from nothing. I no longer search for people to give me recognition for copying me. Sometimes I want to share my achievements, goals and accomplishments but I had to take a step back and realize that showing these things don’t really matter. I no longer allow myself to feel guilty about not posting on social media as soon as things happen. I’m prioritizing my life differently, offering myself grace and space to just be in moments for myself, without having to announce everything. I feel so much pressure when having to post on so many platforms at once. It gives me anxiety! I am moving away from the constant need to be relevant, the desire to have certain amount of followers/subscribers, to make a certain amount of money, to have sponsorships and ads run on my platforms, getting invited to events and moving into a space where I can create, do something I love and enjoy and share my voice in a way that resonates and helps others.

Affirm: The doors of opportunity are open for me. I am in a space of surrendering to the idea that I have to work a job to pay bills/live to pay bills. I don’t dream of labour BUT I am willing to work in healthy environments, places where people respect and appreciate my talents for who it is that I am and where customers compensate me generously for my skills, talents, abilities and who I am. I am taken care of with or without my job. I do not feel guilty for making the best decisions for my mental health and emotional stability. I have courage that everything I need is readily available for me. Trust and believe that it is so!
