Ohh God 😱😯

I think I lost my spark towards certain people,places and things going through some type of growth. I don't talk as much anymore, and I've mastered the art of distance. It's not that I'm mad or bitter. I just don't have the energy to show up the way I used to. or alot stuff dnt exicte me nomore that did. Somewhere along the way. I slipped into this 'I dont care' phase, ghosted people without meaning to, and became comfortable in my own silence. Maybe it's healing, maybe it's just exhaustion. Either way, I'm learning that sometimes, pulling away is part of finding yourself again. ❤️💯

Be you 💐

I just want to be first, not second or third,

Not a maybe, not a backup, not some unheard word.

I want to be loved the way I love out loud,

Spoilin’ souls, holdin’ space — makein’ them proud.

I want to feel wanted, not just when it fits,

Not in the pauses between your convenience and your shifts.

I need your respect, not your careless disregard,

Not feelin’ like lovin’ me gotta be hard.

When I give my all, don’t leave it unseen,

Don’t take my warmth and treat it routine.

If we’re in a room with a thousand, maybe more,

I want to be the only one you’re looking for.

I want that “I know you’re hurting, but I got you” kind of love,

The type that holds strong when push comes to shove.

Do I ask too much for a “hey, I miss you”?

Or a “15 minutes gone an*****an’t wait to kiss you”?

Let’s be God-fearing — hands held in prayer,

Even when life feels perfect and fair.

Let’s fight fair — no yelling, no pride,

No calling up friends just to throw dirt on each side.

Then smile fake like they ain’t seen us cry,

While they laugh in corners watching love slowly die.

I don’t ask for riches, just for truth and intention,

To be felt, to be heard, to receive love’s full dimension.

My love language ain’t complex or grand,

Just hold me, see me, reach for my hand.

So why’s it so hard to feel nurtured and known,

In a love where I’ve never left you alone?

Because you're INVOLVED

There will always be someone willing to hurt you, put you down, gossip about you, belittle your accomplishment, and judge your soul. It is a fact that we all must face. There are two things you will never have to chase: true friends & true love.

When you know your worth, you'll come to see how powerful you really are. Recognizing your power is an important key to building confidence. That's an important key to earning the respect of others and being valued for your unique existence.

Love yourself first and the people who treat you right. Forget about those who don᧙t. Believe everything happens for a reason. If you get a chance, take it. If it changes your life, let it. Life is difficult. Don't ask whether it is going to be easy. Ask whether it is worth it. If something really hurt you, if it made you feel something, it was worth it. Be yourself; everyone else is already taken.

Wanting to be someone else is a waste of the person you are. Remember, you have been criticizing yourself for years, and it hasn't worked.Try approving yourself and see what happens because the most beautiful thing you can wear is confidence. If you have no confidence in yourself, you are twice defeated in the race of life. With confidence, you have won even before you started.Act as if what you do makes a difference. It does.

You teach people how to treat you by deciding what you will and won᧙t accept. The world will see you the way you see yourself.When you are content to be simply yourself and don't compare or compete, everybody will respect you.

Take chances and make mistakes. That᧙s how you grow. Pain nourishes your courage. You have to fail in order to practice being brave. You must find the courage to leave the table if respect is no longer being served. You were born to be real, not perfect, because nobody can ever be perfect. Life shrinks or expands in proportion to one's courage.

Growth and comfort do not coexist.To have what you have never had, you have to do what you have never done. Fortune always favors the brave and never helps a man who does not help himself. Dreams can come true, but there is a secret. They᧙re realized through the magic of persistence, determination, commitment, passion, practice, focus and and hard work. They happen a step at a time, manifested over years, not weeks

The difference between who you are and what you want to be is what you do.

Stop acting as if life is a rehearsal. Live this day as if it were your last. The past is over and gone. The future is not guaranteed. Your ability to discipline yourself to set clear goals and then to work toward them every day will do more to guarantee your success than any other single factor.

The thing you fear most has no power. Your fear of it is what has the power. Spend eighty percent of your time focusing on the opportunities of tomorrow rather than the problems of yesterday. You can᧙t change how people treat you or what they say about you. All you can do is change how you react to it.There are two primary choices in life: to accept conditions as they exist or accept the responsibility for changing them.
