You can't be great if conventionalism is your life's ideology. There comes a point where you must know what you want, how you want your life to be, and refuse to let that be defined by how everyone else lives. You were put on this earth to live as yourself, not as a clone of someone else.

My biggest flex in life is being able to live as I believe. I will know I have lived if the way I live and experience life aligns with my convictions about it.

"What doesn't kill you makes you stronger"

No. What didn't kill me just failed. It didn't apologize, either. Given another chance, it would try again, and I don't know if it wouldn't succeed. It has no intentions of making me anything else other than a corpse. So no, I'm not making peace with it or thanking it for making me stronger. I'm trying to destroy it before it gets another chance to actually kill me. 😂🤣

There are people who are mean when you differ. So there is need to beg them or they will do something very bad to you. 😂

Some people are somewhere starving and you're doing your third cook-a-thon because the first two records were broken...
I see you!

It is not low self-esteem. I know exactly who I am, and I am confident in that. That's why I don't allow someone else's lack of urgency or enthusiasm towards me to change my character and principles.

Actually, constantly "matching energy" is the peak of low self-esteem because it means allowing other people's behavior shift your entire personality. If every time your true self is not received positively you become someone different, you're no longer acting from your own convictions, you're living life reactively. You have no self esteem because you don't even have a "self" to begin with.

If we wake up every morning listening to, reading about, and studying other people...who to interact with, who to avoid, who to date, who not to date, how negative the opposite gender is, or how flawed this generation has become...when do we ever find the time to look at ourselves?

When do we pause to examine our own hearts, correct our own flaws, and become the kind of people we expect everyone else to be?

Growing up, younger women often told us how we were "not their level".
They were partying with older men, getting into clubs for free, sitting in VIP sections, having no jobs but wearing expensive clothes, hair and the latest phones, with their bills being paid.

They had so many older men they could call for money and gifts, and we saw cars coming to pick these women up at universities every Friday night. They called us broke for not having a car and money at 22 years old even thought they themselves didn't have (a) car(s).

Meanwhile, we hustled and focused on making money. We finally made it in our late 30's, and now you want us to go date a woman who is 40 because she is “mature”? How? Multiple dicks? Penile mileage? "Abortionst"? High body counts?

Let's go enjoy what you enjoyed at a young age. What happened to those men you were partying with? Why didn’t they marry you?

Who the x*ck wants a retired bed to bed midfielder, just because she is a baddie?

I was so afraid of change.
It always came with goodbyes, with pain.

So one day, I decided to expose myself to it as often as I could,
hoping that if change stayed long enough,
it would become familiar,
and I would finally find comfort in it.

Now I don't know whether I healed from the fear...
or simply became numb.

I don't know when we stopped understanding that writers create characters and stories that aren't necessarily about themselves. I think fiction eventually became reality and now, every poem, story, or metaphor started being treated as a personal confession.

As a writer, I can write about love while not being in love. I can write the saddest piece when I'm genuinely happy, and the happiest when life feels heavy. That's the beauty of writing, it allows me to imagine and create beyond my own experiences.

William Shakespeare wrote about murderers, kings, lovers, tyrants, and fools. No one assumed he had lived all those lives. Yet today, people read a figurative piece and immediately start asking personal questions about you instead of engaging with the message you are trying to put out. It's strange that this even has to be explained.

I learned that the hard way when I wrote a piece titled "Confessions of a Reformed Whore" 🤦🏾‍♂️ It was about salvation. 🙌😂

Me: Late for work.

Also me:
If I don't write down whatever came to my mind at 3 a.m, I might explode and die. 😂

She's laughter that lingers like a hymn through the trees.
She's hands made of warmth and eyes full of peace.
With footsteps like verses, she rewrites the day.
Every glance she gives is a vow in its way.

And oh, when she smiles, the world bows its head.
Every worry falls silent. Every fear softly shed.
She's not just the moment, she's the hope I now hold.
She walks like a wish that's been kissed by the soul.

I watched her walk toward us in white and in blue.
And my heart made a promise right here in this room.
No riches, no crowns, just a name on my breath and a life to be written from this yes to our death.

When she smiles, even time takes a seat.
Every heartbeat align. Every silence feels sweet.
She's not just the moment. She's the sun's glow on the tide.
She walks like a wish. She is the bride.

The Bride...Little notes. 🖤

She’s beauty, she’s grace
She walks softer than air
Like time slows just to follow
The fall of her hair

She’s a whisper of dawn
She’s a prayer in the light
She’s the hush in the chapel
When hearts feel just right

And oh, when she smiles
The world bows its head
Every shadow grows quiet
Every doubt softly fled

She’s not just the moment
She’s the start, she’s the whole
She walks like a wish
That’s been kissed by the soul

She is The Bride. 🖤 -Little notes.

I always feel like I belong to a world with this kind of aesthetic.

It feels like a place from my past or a place in my future, but somehow, but not in my present.
It always feels like home. 🖤
