I aint gonna articulate this right but I’ve noticed there’s this weird sub culture on tumblr where it’s frowned upon to say anything positive about your life. Like occasionally I see someone post something like “I love my job so much” and a few responses are like “wish I could find a job :/” or “must be nice to not have depression” and it’s really strange. A lot of people are pulling themselves out of dark places or finally figuring out how to be happy (no easy feat) and they don’t need you projecting your own demons on their moments of happiness they wanted to share.
Till this day I’m still upset I never got to do ballet when I was younger- I find it so sweet that my family members even remembered how much I wanted to be a ballerina and ‘go to ballet school’ even the ones I hadn’t seen in over 10 years remembered. Idk maybe God was saving me from damaging my body somehow lol put I still watch YouTube videos of ballet recitals and I feel a little crushed but I mean 17 shouldn’t be too late to start right? But that’s if I find any time...
i have never felt as mature as when i finally understood (through therapy) and internalized (through emotional work) that you cannot connect and communicate with some people no matter how kind, compassionate, understanding, articulate, eloquent, or smart you are, and that sometimes a person not listening to you does not reflect on your communication skills or ability to connect or straight up intelligence. in a way, it’s letting go of the belief that you have the power to make people understand you. communication is a two-way street, and needs two willing participants. some people are just walls, and it has been unbelievably helpful for my mental and emotional health to let it slide and know that it does not affect me or my self worth.

I am in the world but I am not of the world. Realizing that has made my life improve tremendously. I will not try to blend in, my uniqueness symbolizes freedom from the herd mentality, I was custom made and not mass produced.
Shoot ya friendship shot👀

Amen!!!🙌🏽
God's blessing of motherhood is so amazing! I'm only 17 but I'd love to have a whole bunch of kids when I'm older (and married of course lol) Definetly considering adoption too❤

Don’t let anyone dim the light that God has put in you!
“Let them judge you. Let them misunderstand you. Let them gossip about you. Their opinions aren’t your problems. You stay kind, committed to love and free in your authenticity. No matter what they do or say, don’t you doubt your worth or the beauty of your truth. Just keep shining like you always do.”
