Woke up to my pattern
Love Black Women
All I want
All we want
Is to be heard, seen, and accepted
I understand that we all cannot be perfect. I understand that we all may not get along.
Lifestyles are different and I respect that
I am constantly respecting and understanding everyone else
But I ..
I still don’t feel accepted or understood.
I hear you when you say this is you
But hear me when I say this is me
I will not stop loving
I will not stop understanding
I will not stop
But one day I hope I don’t have to feel alone
One day I hope to be surrounded with energy that matches mine
One day I want to be surrounded by energy that wants to give as equally as it receives
I want to live in a light love
One that matches, and/or, amplifies the light and love that I do my best to put out
And when the burden of love breaks
I want to be understood why it broke , how I ended up here.
Forgive me for the one mistake I made when 90% of the time I am the complete opposite
I pray to one day be understood
I pray to one day live happily in a grace of bliss
One where I am unbothered by the burden of loving.
I love to love but sometimes when it’s not received it hurts and that’s the truth.
I can’t expect people to see or understand why I want to be there and be a light for them. But when they don’t understand I also can’t be upset that they didn’t accept it. I can’t expect people to see the light.
All I can do is continue to love and not worry
It’ll be received
They will be blessed
I will be blessed
Gods got me
I need to keep living
I need to keep loving
Weither it was asked for or not I should do everything with the utmost love and kindness in my heart.
That is the only way to love and the only way to make it
I have to keep doing it because that’s me, I can’t stop being myself.
I can’t hate myself for others not getting me, I can’t hate myself for putting myself out there and being rejected. I can’t hate myself for having a loving spirit. That’s not something that’s wrong.
I am not alone, I am loved.
Gods got me
Black excellence is not achieved when your standards are less then excellent.

Michelle Obama meets her deadlines
Serena Williams doesn’t come late to practice. Nor does she come unprepared.
Madam CJ Walker didn’t make her million by letting her dreams stay dreams.
Oprah didn’t wait for things to be handed to her. she created and fulfilled opportunities by her own means.
We are not excellent simply because our skin reflects gold.
We are excellent because we work for it.
Because we are blessed and highly favored.
God doesn’t give to those who don’t work.
God does not give to those who do not work.
Ask and you shall receive , seek and ye shall find, knock and the door will opened unto you.
If you don’t ask you won’t receive
Pray for everything and receive double that.
Seek and you will find.
If you walk around clueless but do not search you can’t find the treasures that are hidden away only for you.
Everyone may be looking for gold but it’s only though God that you will find it.
Seek ye first the kingdom of God, and all these things will be added unto you.
If the door of opportunity presents its self to you and you do not present yourself to it. You’re going to remain in the same spot outside of a closed door.
The door is not waiting for you to knock.
You have to get up and knock on that door before someone else does.
You have to go find that door, to knock.
You have to ask for the door to even be a door before you can go find it and knock on it.
.
.
.
To be black and blessed.
To put God first.
To work for your blessings.
To know that your skin color does not define you.
