Not so ordinary. Not so popular. Borderline offensive. Sometimes a little different. That kind of stuff, let’s talk about it.
confused , the victim , the oh so weak and needy grandma , the "baby" in the family , black sheep .. some things are naturally learned, some things self taught, and sometimes the worst teacher you can ever have is yourself. so the next time you want to try to use your "trauma" as an excuse for your fried thoughts, and nasty mouth, remember, you trained yourself to respond so harshly, and to be so closed off, before anyone had a chance to touch, and correction isn't an option, remember? so it's nobody's fault now that you're alone, and sooo very forgetful. kill the front. then maybe it'll "come back"
maybe it's time we want to see for us, time we want to know what that thing is within U S; that's causing so much confusion, what we call memory loss even, along with the deep perversion you don't want anyone to know about. tell your mind to bring it back for that reason, then grow in and through what you didn't know about Y O U.
when he's good, but what about when he's not so good, is he still god?!. makes you wonder .. was he ever god in the first place. to you. hm.
monkey do ; but maybe just maybe it wasn't meant for you to do too - is it your life holding you back, or theirs?
why does it make you so uncomfortable when it's not your seat? when the people forget to clap? maybe they noticed the fake, the strain, and the way you took so much time thinking about the way they looked at the other person differently than they view you; and you're missing it. turned him off, lost a friend, and you're just missing it.
spouse? wife? many times we get this super spiritual thing so wrong, other times we get it so right, and it's not the super spiritual approach at all; sometimes you just know what you know! and that's so ok too, right?
is it something you made up because you want to be in control of their whole life, when it's all said and done? or does it make you feel validated in your bitter feels towards them, and ridiculous actions, leading you to stalk their whole existence, when you're clear it's OVER?
who has the right to cross the boundaries set in place by a child's parent? ANYONE AT ALL?
it's more than shoes, so much more than food. are you ready? were you ready? for some, are you sorry?
does every feeling entice you? every blank or not so nice stare make you scream the f word? .. ; it's immature and very negatively self reflecting to be lacking in self control. let's discuss. if you dare.
what's the use of focusing, when all you focus on is sh**? we have brains for a reason right? maybe we should actually use them in 2022 * let it sting ☺️
don't be that person who runs around fighting to change the minds of others, making yourself fake feel better when it seems someone even halfway believes in the same crap as you - and so on - part 2; too much offense, not enough growth
IF I DO NOT WANT IT IN, IT CANNOT ENTER IN. IF IT HURTS ME TO RECEIVE IT, I DO NOT HAVE TO RECEIVE IT.
is there a line? do you know what you’re doing? does it make sense to you, and the world, but not actually make sense to the God who created you?
sometimes we disrespect ourselves and disrupt the whole calling on our lives; here’s why.
maybe it’s just not your fight, and they certainly don’t have the right to say that it is, when the soul screams keeping them up at night, belong to them alone.
maybe you feel you aren’t so respected in your heart, because you weren’t a mother after all, and it actually pains you more than it affects them. maybe you just didn’t do your job, and that child remembers, and that adult child has a hard time trying to figure out just what it is that makes them ugh when you’re blowing up their phone. give them space; you know what they say, they’ll come around, maybe. don’t open your legs, try opening your heart.
shine light on all that offends, holds you, or fights to keep you from being free. problem areas are real.
do the work for YOU, don’t make someone else responsible for your sanity, your peace, your home, YOUR body, or the maintaining of those important things in life overall. who cares how you feel about it, it’s your responsibility, either you’ll do it or you won’t :)
but can I think when you’re around? not to be or not to be, instead, that’s the actual question.
Or? Lesson learned? Maybe they didn’t want you, but you learned to breathe light, learned to let things go, learned to say no when you want to say no, and maybe you taught your own heart how to respond when it refuses to acknowledge that it’s still beating. Maybe there really was light at the beginning of that tunnel, and it’s ok that you didn’t reach the ending, that ending just wasn’t your story.
some people want a way out, like really really want a way out; others only want to make you look.
Are you the missing piece? Not the one being waited on, but the one that doesn’t fit? The one throwing the whole puzzle off, cutting the whole relationship off, blowing all the love away? HM.
sometimes you can’t help the way it scares you, or the way you feel the trauma each time you take a step forward, but you can help the release, the healing, and the progression and growth, one step at a time, one truth at a time. One .. breath at a time
According to Webster: “Definition of sound mind : sane or rational. She claims that her father was not of sound mind when he changed his will.” Don’t be so spiritual that you forget to be logical, and don’t be so smart that you sound dumber than you did last week, and the week before that. Check yourself, and don’t be afraid to be checked.
Ignore the loud onlookers, proving is for suckers. They never know what they’re talking about anyway/
If they want to go both ways, let them, don’t want their souls to be saved, who cares, release em, don’t want to be understood and don’t want to understand, stop caring. Save yourself the burden. ❤️
What are you doing to better the folks, ground, churches, or downfalls around you?! Get something on your mind, things might turn out a little better for you.
Or don’t speak. It’s simple, and makes you look so much smarter. Wisdom keeps you quiet when there’s a need, and wisdom pushes you to speak, when there’s a need. Know your lane, know your time, create your boundaries, stay where you’re comfortable, and teach people to stay on their side too. It’s better that way. 🖤🤍 #black&white #easy #boundaries #pureheartsonly
It’s not that he wants to prove to you he’s bigger and better, or that he’s stronger and knows how to get the job done in a more decent way; maybe he was just born to do it in a way you could never. Maybe he’s built to carry you in a way you never knew he could, if you’d just give him a chance. Men can’t be men when all we do is scream “women rule,” then get offended when a real one begs to differ. Fix your perspective, you could be the cause for the crash of your home, and the fallings in this world too. Oh, and God will hold you responsible “woman of God!” HA!
Don’t turn people off so deep, to the point where they wish they never even knew you in the first place. Some of y’all bring so much torment to your own lives, and unnecessary darkness to your own world simply because you don’t know how or when to RELEASE, when a season is over. Don’t make it so personal, there’s peace in recognizing that it never was. Hm. LIVE your life, don’t lose it.
Sometimes it’s just not enough, and sometimes you’re just flowing too low! When it’s a new season for you, step into that thing, even if you have to fight like hell to do so!
Do I see you the way my mother sees you, or the way I see you? Does my heart stand offended by you, or is that Daddy’s spirit? Who is in control of your life? Are they even your insecurities, and is that your hand helping, or someone forcing your hand, due to the fact that they have no control over their own life, and live to make you bow to theirs instead?
Is America the place to be? Is the concern needing to be the next president, or maybe you feel it’s the fact that your son or daughter don’t seem to “have their life together,” orrr I wonder if the concern should actually be the fact that YOUR house is a part of a trending statistic, referencing mental health deprivation, and instability; whether black, white, Mexican, or blue, YOU may be a part of the problem you scream you see. Are you going to do something about it? Try thinking for yourself for once, and maybe you can actually make a difference. ❤️
When “purpose fails” you, then what? Define “purpose,” and when you get it wrong, correct it, then you’ll have your answer. Just do yourself a favor and don’t listen to anything a false prophet speaks, they’ll lead you astray, and keep you in a box every single time. Oh, and don’t let family tell you either, mama doesn’t know everything. Don’t mind me, I’m just finding my voice. One more thing, don’t mock her, find you. It’s better that way love : )
What makes you right? Who are you to say that what someone chooses to believe is just or totally absurd? Who are we leaving these ultimate convictions up to? Are we going about our preaching and teaching the right way, or are we furthermore turning the nations off, from ever believing in the first place?
maybe they moved on, leaving you to focus on you, and concern yourself with you, figuring out all things pertaining to your life, alone, and maybe that’s ok too :) ; grow up a little, you don’t have the right to be offended. Find the freedom in it, and let go when you finally realize you’re no longer in control.
Nobody else’s! DO NOT tell someone else how to heal, or how to shift, when it comes to certain seasons of their life. YOU DO NOT have the right to tell someone how long it should take them to get over trauma that you never even taught them how to heal from, when you had parental rights. Maybe the child in them blames you, and maybe you should take some RESPONSIBILITY, then maybe they’ll hear you, and understanding can be had! FOR ONCE IN YOUR LIFE, own YOUR SHI*! Maybe they took it personal, the fact that you didn’t do your job at home, but chose the 9-5 instead, and maybe that’s OK! LET THEM LIVE THEIR LIFE, AND MAYBE YOU SHOULD LEARN TO LIVE YOURS TOO! we all have the right to heal in PEACE .. smiley face :)
.. and if it’s not enough to change “for them,” change for you. Better days are in your willingness to be changed, from the inside out. Trauma let’s loose in the midst of the change, and transformation, true transformation only manifests in the depths of change. I’m rooting for you.
get quiet for who?! when freedom intimidates, please know you’re doing something right :)
For those of us who are serious about being free, stepping away from all things toxic, and breaking the mold for others to be inspired; I pray you know that the breakout is in you, maybe it’s time you take the time, no matter how brutal, to find it. Be set free, don’t do it for them, do it for you.
Don’t turn their joy off because you can’t stand the feels of your own lifeless thinking. Why does controlling them give you a high, that working on your own life just doesn’t seem to bring? Let’s talk :)
Maybe he’s not coming, maybe she really just doesn’t want you, what if it was all a lie? There’s a possibility you heard wrong, or even heard what you wanted to hear. I think it’s time for somebody to let go, you’ll know if it’s for you, if the words fight to rattle your soul. Take it easy ;)
Are you breathing for you, or breathing for two? Is it all about what they want, or do you actually take time to consider what it is that you want; all these days you’re still breathing and living? Take time to consider.
Sometimes it’s just time, and sometimes there’s nothing you can do to prevent the chains from breaking, the tears from falling, or the joy from fading. Enjoy yourself again, and when it’s time, and/or if the time comes, I pray the next relationship is special, healthy, and eye opening for you indeed.
Maybe they really would kill to be you after all, maybe you really are that dope when it’s all said and done, maybe just maybe it’s simply time for you to see it differently, maybe that’s the point where things get better.
The one they waited their whole life to meet, just to gain a better understanding, and grip all together, on friendship, love, honesty, integrity. Sometimes we downplay ourselves so deep, we don’t even realize the assignments we are on with the ones who currently won’t leave. Sometimes you’re not always the problem, but what if you’re finally the solution? Step into it
Love makes the world go round! You better hear me! Why do we grow angry when we see it though? Why does it make our freakin throat itch when lovers exchange looks, and show affection in public? Are you offended with the passion your mom and dad share, or your best friend and her forever valentine? There’s a why. Gotta find it!
What if it’s for you? Nobody else. What if the blessing had your name on it? Nobody else’s name. What if the abundance and all the beautiful encouragement was meant for you in this season, and not the people around you? Or the people fighting to be “connected?” Are you able to receive that? Would you feel the need to apologize for the greatness? Questions.
You let your insecurities scream louder than the life you call yourself living. Make it make sense, demand it to add up, I promise you it gets better from there. Ask the question, are you really who you portray yourself to be? Are you even who you want to be? Make the changes you want to see. Simplicity at its finest.
