Where. Do. I. Begin?
First, thank you for meeting me in this space. Understand that your commitment to my creativity is sincerely appreciated. Let’s just say, praise and accolades mean nothing if you don’t first believe you deserve that for yourself.
I feel the need to add a disclaimer: If any of my jargon is not quite decisive, I’m always open to establishing a rapport & relationship building (initially via calls and text) to chat a bit more. I am a passionate advocate for using ones voice and respecting individuals choice of expression. All that to say, I sometimes fuss on my platforms. Welcome!
I had this post in cue for sometime now. I didn’t quite know “how” I was picking up the pieces. I just knew I was & still am healing through some things. The one piece I happened to find that’s always been proven useful is my voice. The biggest difference is that part about “undeniably & without regret.” I’m the type to overthink things or big picture think. But also, spend equal amounts of time reflecting as to not make the same mistake repeatedly. Here are a few lessons to be learned indebted to continuous healing:
BE GENTLE WITH YOURSELF! & balanced enough to be compassionate to others just the same.
USE YOUR VOICE TO CREATE CLARITY. Not sure? Ask. Disagree? Respectfully speak your piece. Communication is not a “fuss” word, it’s the key to healthy outcomes.
MOTIVATE. A.) That whole thing about “getting more bees with honey,” lighten up a little. Applaud the tendencies you appreciate and they may happen more often B.) Those who motivate you, keep them around and nourish your tribe - they keep you growing !
The reality is I haven’t been giving myself enough credit for my opportunities of fulfillment. Meaning, I’ve crushed some major goals this time around. Stood up to unknowns that I thought would be a breeze, but was more like salt on wounds I didn’t even know existed. Needless to say, healing is no overnight feat. Perhaps it’s the turn of a new year or the page to a new chapter. However it goes, I am grateful. Consider this submission an ode to 2019 invoked by the muse authentic creativity - I just made that up lol. Seriously, though, stay true to you and keep running your world your way!
Signed,
The Journey Continues
