YOU MADE IT!
Hey Queens, Congratulations! We survived the semester and I wouldn't have it any other way. I just took my last final. (Yas I know it's a Monday LOOK AT GOD) And I'm low key emotional lol So I just thought maybe it would be a good idea to share this journey. Let me begin by saying that anything is possible. This semester I learned the biggest lesson, and that is how to love myself. I don't mean just on my good days. I mean I learned to love the Gabby that wakes up some mornings and doesn't feel like talking. The Gabby that will sometimes talk herself out of good things. I learned to love the Gabby who has fears and the Gabby who doesn't like to be weak. I learned to love all of her. I learned to love me. Now do me a favor and understand that this is no small feat. It was hard. It is hard. But what I can tell you queen is that this has been one of the most rewarding moments of my life. I think it is in those moments when you are "stuck" that you really have to sit down, look at yourself and figure out where you went wrong, how you got where you are now and what you WILL do to prosper when it's time to get up. You won't get everything right. Life is filled with disappointments and downfalls. But guess what else? Flowers and tea and happiness and Bryson Tiller lol My point is, you are stronger than you think.........let that sink it. "I am stronger than I think." Self discovery is a beautiful yet terrifying place. If you've been there queen, or if you are stumbling through it now, I want to share something with you. I know sometimes it may feel like you take 3 steps forward just to get knocked 5 steps back. I get that. Been there. What I want you to engrain in your heart is that even baby steps are movement in the right direction. Baby steps matter too. If you got everything right in friendships, relationships and things you want the most, you would never learn exactly it is that you need. You have to learn queen. And sometimes that means feeling things you'd rather not feel. On the bright side, know that there is greatness out in this world just waiting for you to tap into it. Your journey is just beginning. You survived this hurdle and look where you are....... Strong, eager, ready to be great. And you know what else. The people who survive through this journey with you are a special kind of amazing. It is in these moments of difficulty that God reveals to us those forever kind of people. I hope that your heart is as happy and as strong an mine. I hope you melanin is popping, your nails are growing and you try a little each day to be a better you. After all, you deserve it. And as always queen, Stay Strong!
