I look around me and see/feel pain in older folks those who have worked tirelessly to get by. I see so much potential and even come across some who have great talents but had never let it shine.. because they have spend all their years working at a job that didn’t align with their purpose. So many of us let fear hold us back, myself included, but even though I’ve had those moments in my life where I get scared that maybe I won’t make it.. I am still here trying. And these past couple of weeks have been a huge shift perception for me. I have let faith and trust come over my spirit. And although I might be struggling in this point In time, I will not let that stop me, and will continue to make the best of everyday. I’m not only following my dream, my calling, my intuition, for myself and my son, I am doing it for my family, for my ancestors, for the lineage before me. My brown folks, who are one of the most discriminated till this day. I come from strong ancestral indigenous roots, and I will not let this system that has been taken over by greedy people, make me believe that I am just another brown woman. That I am not worthy of living a life of FREEDOM. It saddens me to see that most of my brown people never truly get to follow their dreams because as one of the most discriminated, they have had to work since a young age. I am here to break this belief that just because I am a brown woman I cannot live a life of freedom. I will create this life of mine by BELIEVING that I am worthy of it all. We should all be able to believe in ourselves and our gifts. I refuse to waste my years working away while my dreams slowly disappear before my eyes, only growing older and less lively.. no matter how long it takes you’re gonna see me living a life rooted in nature, away from the city with my own piece of land that I get to call home. And I won’t stop till I live that life, no matter how long it takes! ✊🏽
