A little light and I forgive you!
Queens. Hello! Today I want to get straight to the point.
Today was picture day for my favorite campus org. We literally spent the day chasing the light, trying to get the perfect scenery and background to take our pictures.
After a little trial and error we finally found the perfect place, and it was smooth sailing from there.
But something about the light though, how much it mattered, how amazing we felt when we found the one spot that made the melanin in our skin glow, made my heart feel all sparkly inside. Now let me explain how this relates to you.
So queen, this is what's on my heart for you. Do me a favor and strive to feel the light. Too often in life, we get caught up in seeing the light, seeing our situations get better, seeing what’s going to happen next......
But I just don't think that’s how life works. Queen, the best way to grow, the best way to shine is to feel the light, feel life and feel your situation.
Queen I think it's those situations where we are able to be honest with ourselves and those around us that we are walking in our truth and basking in our own glow.
If there's anything I need you to take from this post, it is that even when you're frustrated, overwhelmed or stressed. Even when your foundation is a little cracked or your heart is a bit heavy, you still have that light in you.
Understand that your glow never goes out; sometimes we just forget how much greatness we have within us.
One path I would like you to walk in this year Queen, is forgiveness. If there is one way to feel the light, it is to learn how to forgive those who have wronged you.
I believe that all people are good, that everybody has a heart and that we make mistakes because sometimes life gets difficult and we lose our way. But other people's imperfections or downfalls should never have the opportunity to stifle your light or your joy.
The world is not a bad place Queen, and not everybody has bad intentions. What I need from you is to understand that at every point in your life, you still have the power to create your own change. To be your own light.
So for the people, who have wronged you queen, forgive them. For the situations that didn't work out, let them go. For the battles that aren't yours to fight, give them up.
You are walking in your light now. You are starting a new chapter, with a light heart, a wise mind and an open soul.
When I was a little girl, my mom said all kinds of things I didn't understand. She's like the GOAT of dropping mad quotes on you lol but when I would get frustrated; she would pull me aside and say, "It's okay to be a little broken baby, that's how the light gets in."
I finally know what this means now and I want to share it with you. Don't be afraid of life queen. And I know that sounds crazy, but believe me when I say that at all moments in life, good and bad, the light has a funny way of always finding its way back to you.
You want to know why, because you queen, are your own light.
Know your worth.
