This Is The Only Translation That Lays It Out Like This. I Don’t Want To Read It Any Other Way.

*Watching Netflix peacefully*

*Remembers 6 exams, 2 assignments and a presentation*

*Watches Netflix stressfully*

There would be no need to yell. I don’t work with difficult people .

“where do you see yourself in 10 years?”

me:

“Dark skinned and I’m stuck up (yup)”  

A new set of scans came in.

That bitch Barbie has set a tone for me that I haven’t allowed myself to access in awhile. To embrace and evoke the power within me to exude out. I see this divine energy in those around me. I wonder if they feel it oozing in them the way it does me. I wonder if they feel it coming out their pore in the way I see it .

Busy weekend this week. Hopefully I can get back to my regular painting by Sunday. Gold Leaves 12in x 12in Ink on wood Available for purchase!

Just because they were with you through your depression, doesn’t mean they have to stay with you through your progression.

Some of us stay with people because we don’t want to abandon them at a low point.

Some of us stay with people because we were with them through such low points and now that their doing better we feel like we earned the prize of their growth that came at the end.

Sometimes when we are the depressed and someone sticks with us we feel like we can’t leave because that person was with you when you were your worst.

But we have to evaluate.

If your growth means you have outgrown the relationship, then it’s okay to leave.

If that person was with you at your lowest but you don’t think they can help you reach your highest then it’s okay to bounce.

Part of growth is being able to recognize what you need, and then taking steps to obtain it.

If a person has reached the end of a relationship , then it’s okay to move on.

Don’t worry about being polite.

Worry about what’s best.

If the new you isn’t 100% here then it’s because the new you should be somewhere else.

If you are trying to think of ways to make something work then your ignoring the ease that will come with the right thing in your near future.

Look at the tortoise and the hare.

That bunny got too comfortable , he held himself back. He kept stopping to look at the flowers, take naps, and do eveything but move forward.

And the tortoise!

He may not have gotten there fast but he made it to his destination right on time.he got their right when he was suppose to. He knew where he needed to go and he didn’t let anyone or thing stop him from moving forward.

Now this could be your partner, your job, your friends, your family, your location, your strongholds.

Whatever is holding you back, leave it.

When you see what you could be

When you see where you could be

Once you know that your potential is endless

Don’t stop

Take yourself to the end.

The world will keep moving forward with or without you. But where do you wanna be ? Still holding onto something at the starting line, or jumping through the valleys of freedom and possibilities at the finish?

Let go

What is meant to be will be.

Newness

Breathe

May the 4th be with you

Sometimes I stare into the mirror trying to see if I can see my soul . Sometime I see something scary. Sometimes I see me . Sometimes I just notice my eyes, and the shadows of the eyelashes.i notice my nose and all the pores that are open and the ones that are clogged. I notice a lot about me , but I don’t always see me. Sometimes I don’t trust mirrors.sometimes I think they’re lying to me. Sometimes I want them to tell me the truth. I want them to show me me. But it’s hard to see what I see and accept what I see. Because what am I really looking at? I was looking for me but did I see me ? Or did I see my eyes. Or did I see my soul? What am I ? Who am ? What do I see? What does everyone else see?
