And I Hope You Decide To Fight For You

So it’s been a terribly long time since I’ve written for the blog.

I honestly have gotten to a place where I only want to write things that my heart is completely in. Not to say my past posts weren’t genuine. But I believe that the idea of a good blog doesn’t always mean you have to post a million times a day. I believe it means that you write with your soul and you do that in whatever time frame that is suitable for you.

Anywho. I’m in a really good place at this moment. A strong one. It’s moments like these when I remember the moment I started this blog in the first place. My heart was in pieces and I was slowly learning that life was about investing in yourself.

Furthermore, I thought I’d take this post to put some faith into your hearts and to remind you of your worth because I believe that’s sort of what I was sent here to do. Someone close to me had to do the same for me right before I wrote this so I thought I’d share the love.

In the past couple of months I have found myself repeating the same advice to a few of my friends. Not that that is bad or anything. I say that to express that we kind of all go through the same things simultaneously.

Fight for yourself.

Honestly that’s probably the best advice I have ever received in my life.

It’s something you need to hear.

It’s something you need to do.

It’s something you need to believe.

God put you here to be celebrated. But see, the trick to being celebrated by others is to first know how to celebrate yourself.

One of my favorite poets says that in all moments, you should love yourself so fiercely that when others look at you they know exactly how it should be done.

Sidenote: that makes me teary eyed every time I hear it.

I want to bring up another thing to you and it involves your peace. Creating it. Cultivating it. Being present in it.

Whenever I find myself conflicted or my heart is a bit upset, I ask myself whether or not I believe this is what God wants for me.

Does he want me stressed?

Does he want me to cry all the time?

Does he want me to settle?

Does he want me to give up?

Did he really send me here to let somebody deal with me when they feel like it?

If the answer is no. I move. Rearrange myself. Plan a different route and get up and try again.

These are moments you deserve to take it slow so you can find yourself.

Move away from toxicity. Move away from stillness. Move away from people who aren’t moving with you.

You owe it to yourself not to conform just to be valued.

You are valuable.

I want to encourage you to be patient. Patient with yourself. Patient with God. Patient with life.

I’m kind of in a place where I’m open to what’s meant for me and I’m at peace with what isn’t. You see, the things God intends for you will be yours. No matter what. No questions asked.

So remember that when you find yourself forcing the unnecessary. You’re worth more.

I love y’all. And I hope that you are growing and healing and celebrating all parts of you.

I also hope that you only engage with people that make you better.

You deserve that.

Stay strong.
