My Current State of mind!!!
I have been contemplating on a few things today, in a world where almost everything is fake, from hair, nails to super-skinny supermodels, I think it's very important to preserve as much truth and genuity as much as we possibly can. A world with no fear of revealing who we truly are, a world with no judgement what-so-ever. A world where self-expression is not loathed, a world with intergrity. I am a free-spirit, I love my space and being able to express my thoughts. Not a lot of people know this, but I'm a very private person, very careful about who I let into my life. That being said, I absolutely love meeting new people. I'm an enthusiast, a dreamer and a believer. No matter what I go through I always have hope, whether I go to bed feeling sad or crying...the dawn of a new day just cheers me up, and I just can't help but smile regardless. I have also developed a thick skin and really not much can get me down. Growing up is a process, and the more you grow the more you should be able to determine what you want and need in your life. I have just recently done that, this process of finding your true-self is not an easy task. A friend once said to me, as a person, you have to learn to spend time on your own, and she emphasized how hard of a process it was to learn to be comfortable with your-self, but emphasized the rewards to be reaped much later. I have seen a pattern in my life, a pattern I have decided to stop with immediate effect. I have to let go of some friendships simply because they are not fruitful in any way. These people have chosen to live through me vicariously and I won't allow it anymore. Instead of embracing who God has made them to be, they are hell-bent on being me! Everything I do, they also want to do and constantly secretly compete with me. I'm really trully blessed that I know who I am and God's will for my life. I'm running my own race and totally refuse to cempete with anyone. These are the kind of toxic relationships that no one should be in, and quite frankly, I'm excited about starting something fresh and new. Envy is very serious and sad because the more envious you become, the more I achieve great things. I would rather have one true friend than ten friends who don't wish me well. As I like to say, "salvation is personal", so i'm sure you're a great person and I trully wish you well in your life...but I'm sorry, we just can't be friends, God Bless you. And to all my true sistas, true to themselves and true to their world, I thank God for you and am trully blessed to have you in my life. Let's toast to years of true friendship, sistahood ALL THE WAY!!!!!
Cheers
Grace
