“If you want to be somebody, If you want to go somewhere, you better wake up and pay attention” (sister act 1992)

As I lay in bed with insomnia kicking my ass, this statement started to play in my head. I believe that everything you think, hear, and speak is by divine design, so here I am. Writing with no idea of what I want to talk about, but here we go. Randomness at its finest.

I know it is time. I need to really put into practice what I have been learning over the past couple years. This means I have to re-enter this crazy world. I get the ick when I think about rejoining society. This is where my overthinking and anxiety try to creep in. They ask questions like “What if we have nothing in common”? Or “what if I get too overwhelmed”? What if I shut down like in the past? But as fast as those thoughts come in, the new mindset kicks their asses to the curb YES! This helps me to remember that I am ready to fly from the nest and spread my wings. The only difference between then and now was that I had lost hope and faith in myself. I let my power lie dormant for so long that I had forgotten about it. Hell, I even gave it away to other people without even realizing it. But this current moment marks a new chapter and a superpower. The power to yield my own destiny and stand in my greatness. I have been nurturing, aligning, and attuning my mind, body, and spirit for this new beginning. I have become more comfortable choosing me and mine every time. I do this without so much as a second thought. The peace that has come with this newness will no longer take a backseat. It’s been quite a journey. It is still ongoing, but I can see the light ahead. So, Imma keep running cause a winner don’t quit on themselves (Beyoncé Freedom 2016). I am encouraging you to do the same. until next time, friend…
