🍁Kindness🍁
My therapist asked me to describe a time that I was genuinely kind to the point where I wanted nothing in return.

I was 20 and homeless at the time. I hustled up enough money to get an apartment near the trade school I was attending. It was a beautiful victory for me! Even though I had no furniture, sleeping on a carpeted floor was way better than the abandoned office at my school that the security guard was kind enough to let me "squat" in was a beautiful change. Plus, it was MINE!

I had just enough money to go get some Ramen Noodles at the grocery store. Why lie, with thirty dollars you can eat like a Queen when your only meal was Ramen!

Walking into the store, I saw a homeless woman holding a toddler. The baby looked so malnourished and was crying most likely from the pain of being that hungry. The mother literally had tears swelling in her eyes asking people for money, but unfortunately being ignored.

I felt for her, but even as genuine as it all seemed, we all know about how people scam you out of your money pretending to be in desperate need....

I walked past her, but oddly she didn't ask me for money. I looked a hot mess to be honest and I dont want to bring race into this, but being African American, hair whipped around like I had gotten into a fight, and holes in my sweat pants doesn't exactly scream wealth.

We made eye contact, and in that moment, we connected. It was as if I saw her pain and she saw mine. Then I saw her child, screaming to the top of their lungs from pain or at least being effected by their mother's pain.

I didn't even hesitate...I just grabbed her hand (which startled her) and fi**ed my last $30 into her had and walked away back to my apartment swiftly so I didn't have time to change my mind.

🌿Happiness Took The Longest🌿

I was sitting down this morning and going over the homework my therapist gave me. Each session she gives me a word and with that word I have to remember a moment that best describes that word.

Today's word was HAPPINESS.

I had to sit down and remember one moment where I was truly happy. Not just putting up a front. A moment where I was 100% without a doubt, could stand up in a court of law with a lie detector test, HAPPY.

It took me a long time to dig deep and come up with a single moment that trumped it all...my first kiss with my boyfriend, George.

We met on the internet of all places and we previously stayed up for 24 hours straight just talking like school kids! We did waste no time with meeting and we went out to eat. At the end, he was super shy. I love shy guys!

We decided to go chill at a park and just talk and watch the sun go down...but he built up the courage to kiss me and MAN it was a direct hit and perfect! Soft lips? Check! Technique? Check! Gave me goosebumps? TRIPLE CHECK!

The part that made me feel genuine happiness was I could feel in his kiss that he genuinely liked me. You could feel it. He wasn't just trying to get in my pants like all the others...I could feel for the first time that someone actually liked me in a real way.

Why am I f🤬cking crying right now?

Are these happy tears?
I can't even tell.

I guess I have some explaining to do. Some asked me how come I'm putting so many "halos" in my posts.

My answer...

I'm trying to wash away all my sins.

So there's gonna be a sh🤬t ton of halos on my page! Lol

🧡Using My Powers For Evil🧡

I sat here crying tears of laughter for about thirty minutes straight! My throat is soar with screaming!

My boyfriend asked me to put the head of Jimmy Johnson (Coach for The Dallas Cowboys) over the face of his best friend's infant grandson with the caption, "How Bout Dem Cowboys!"

Look at my man, Putting my talents to good use lmmfao!

I couldn't keep a straight face the whole time!

Hmmmmm...

Lord, someone Uber Eats me some sweet pickles before I lose my mind! Lol

🍂Hit Different🍂

It amazes how certain artists can pour out their pain on paper, in music, or in words.

Sometimes I feel urge to do so, but I also hold back because I don't want to come off as one of those self loathing people seeking attention.

Also I don't think Instagram has enough storage space for all my bull crap lol 😅

🌸Wishing On A Star🌸

I really outdid myself with this one I think! When I say I used a million filters, I literally used a million filters.

Going back and forth between programs over and over and erasing here, adding there...it probably would have been way faster if I just drew it! 😂

Since I can't draw for crap, this will have to do!

🤍Can You Prove It In Court?🤍
I had an interesting therapy session today.
I had a pretty rough week emotionally. I had a something not go my way and it triggered my depression.

During my session, I expressed how "worthless" I felt this week. She asked, "Do you believe you ARE worthless?"
..."yes"....

"Do you have proof that you are worthless and would that proof hold up in the court of law?"

I didn't have an answer for that because my feelings of worthlessness was just that...A FEELING NOT A FACT!

Our feelings can usually be derived from a learned idea, not true facts!

Then, p**f! My feelings of worthless seemed to melt away.

🥀She's Your Queeeeeeen 2 Beeee🥀

So, I came across this television ad for a new show on called Noughts + Crosses that really caught my attention.

It asked the question: What if AFRICA colonized EUROPE instead of the other way around?

What if the roles where reversed?

They showed all the African people in power and showed their wealth. Then you see the Europeans in poverty and being abused by the powers that be. Then somewhere in the middle you have a romantic relationship brewing between a beautiful rich African woman and a Poor European man as their society fights to tear them apart.

I'm going to look this up on the Peacock TV since its free and at least give this show a good shot.

🥀Cruel To Be Kind🥀

I've always heard this expression, but never quite understood it in great detail until now.

I'm the type of person that when someone makes me uncomfortable I would just avoid the situation just so I won't hurt their feelings when in actuality I should be biting their head off.

The best way to go about it is to speak up and let them know that I'm uncomfortable and that they should stop. It may hurt their feelings, but in the long run he/she/they might learn from that situation and maybe modify their behavior.

I think thats what I'm going to do in life moving forward because its not fair to ME having to put up with sh*t to spare people's feelings when they clearly don't give a damn about mine.

People think what they are doing may be harmless and they are just playing around, but we aren't kids anymore. You would think people organically know better or can take hints, but they don't.

You know what I mean?

✖Speak It Into Existence✖

There's a reason why people say, "be careful what you wish for".
There is power in what you say. You ever notice how when you say negative things and you think they happen out of sheer coincidence?

Its not a coincidence.

You spoke it into existence.

If you knew how powerful your words were, you would never speak or think anything bad ever!

Keeping that in mind, I will say this:

2021 will be a powerful year for us all. There will be peace. There will be prosperity.

I will FINALLY take a passion and turn it into profit. I will make all of my dreams come true and live a happy comfortable life for the rest of my days!

What do you want to speak onto existence?

💜Smoke And Mirrors💜
Life is so much more fun when you stop caring.

When you stop caring about what others will think of you.
When you stop caring about who's judging you.
When you realize that you are worthy of loving yourself and what you care about.
..it just feels so damn good!

Gonna Do Me🎀
In the art business, most times in order to get recognized by a broader audience, artists would do pieces strictly to please others. I admit I have done that ever since I've started this journey.

I'm also proud to say that I am now over that notion.

Don't get me wrong, I love making other people happy and making others smile with my edits, but every now and again I want to make my own spirit smile and do pieces that are just for me.

This is that one.

I love Rihanna's image and what she represents.

Savagery.
Fierceness.
Idgaf mentality!

This makes ME happy...and hopefully it makes you happy too.

🤍Good Food, Good Mood🤍
You ever notice how a simple meal can actually effect how the rest of your day goes?

Yesterday morning, I accidentally burned my eggs that I was having for breakfast and my day ended up being kinda blah!

This morning, I had a bowl of the best damn cereal I've had in a long time (Trix ain't just for kids) and I feel like I can rule the freaking world!

I danced around the entire time and I slurped down the milk like it was going out of style!

I think it all has to do with the energy you create!

I've found that the first hour of your day dictates how the rest of your day will go!

Don't believe me? Try it!

👽Love Your Weird👽
I am fortunate enough to have come across a wonderful person who accepts my wierd quirks and loves me more for it.

At first I had to show him those quirks in the first place, which was hard at first, but what is the point of "frontin" about anything. Eventually they will see it all anyway, so why not let it all hang out?

Living together certainly exposes more quirks when you get comfortable lol

One of my "quirks" that my boyfriend likes is the fact that I hate being poked in the belly button. I will literally want to stab you if you sweep past it! He thinks its too cute when Im mad or get pi**ed about it. He thinks its adorable...and I let him live every time lol

(Maybe he'll elaborate in the comments on why)

If you're in a relationship, what quirk does your significant other appreciate about you?

Or

What "Weird" thing about yourself would you want your significant in the future to appreciate about you?

Let me know in the comments!

❤You Deserve Love❤
When you teach others, you end up teaching yourself...this is the main reason for this post.

When you love yourself truly, you do things to take better care of yourself.

You protect yourself better.
See yourself in a different light.
You dont tolerate the bare minimum.
You know your worth.

I'm finally starting to realize that Im not a bad person. I've made mistakes and bad decisions, but they do not define me.
Im selfless.
Brave.
Empathetic.
Kind.
Romantic.
Passionate.
Fierce.
Ferocious.
Spunky....I am me.

I used to be completely disgusted with myself and literally had hate in my heart, but now with therapy Im learning that if I really knew me...I'd kinda dig me. I'm learning to love the real me.
You should to!
Truly love you.
No one is going to do it for you.
Sometimes if you want things done right, you HAVE TO learn to do it yourself!

What do you love about YOURSELF!?
Say them in the comments and literally witness your ability to love yourself in its true form. Hell, say it out loud for the people sitting in the back row!

🌻Great Changes Are Proceeded By Chaos🌻

You ever notice how candy tastes so much sweeter after you've eaten something super salty?

If life is the same way, then 2021 is going to be one hell of an amazing year!!

2020 was salty as f*ck! So I know we have nothing but sweet things ahead for all of us! It'll be like a relief when this year ends. Almost like when a migraine is slowly going away. You notice those last few minutes as being the most pleasurable after all that pain.

Great things are coming for you, you just have to hold on a little while longer, you guys! When the sweet things come (and they will) savor every sweet moment!

💙If You Don't Believe In Yourself, Who Will?💙
I'm working on taking my own advice for once. I used to rely on the validation from others to motivate me, but that's not gonna cut it. You have to find ways to do this on your own.

The person that benefits the most should be the one to motivate you.

Look, finding motivation is hard as hell! Especially during times like these when things seem so hopeless. It cant rain forever though.

We should love ourselves enough to believe in our own capabilities.

Much love and many hugs to all of you.

People are always led to believe that you have to accomplish anything on an unnecessary time frame...thats not true!

It may take an entire lifetime to do something you dream of or a goal that you set for yourself because that is what life is about!

💜Oops Is Better Than What If💜

I'm starting to believe that the shots you always miss are the ones you dont take.

I used to be so afraid to fail that I wouldn't try new things at all. I would only do things that are proven to work out of fear!
Fear of struggling.
Fear of failure.
Fear of rejection.
All of that nonsense.

Failure is a part of life.
Struggling will happen.
Rejection? Oh, you better believe that's gonna happen.

I'm slowly but surely learning that these things aren't really so bad. They may sting for a few moments, but they shouldn't hold you back from living.

Man, I hate to sound like I'm pretty (cringe) but its crazy how cutting out one thing in my life and I'm seeing things so clearly. I wish I had come to this realization when I was in my 20's! Where would I be if I had?

So, what has fear held you back from? What have you always wanted to do, say or try, but never had the courage?

💙Point Blank Positive💙

I had a pretty good therapy session today. We discussed how trying to find the Positive in the negative can attract more positive. It almost made it sound like manifesting, but she refused to say that word per say.

I saw her point though. You ever have something bad happen to you and you focus on the negative so much that negative things just keep happening? Yeah, me too.

I think seeing the positive in the 'negative' is a pretty cool way to switch things around and gain more positive.

I've lost friends in the past, but the positive is that it left room for me to concentrate on the friendships that lasted and really developed the relationships that I have now.

I've lost jobs, but it frees me up to really develop my skills and find jobs that bring me joy as well as money.

Bad things have happened to me, but I've grown a thicker skin and I've learned from those experiences...

You see what I mean. Finding a positive in a negative is hard, but once you get it down, it has an uplifting feeling in the end.

I hope this helps anyone who reads this.

Are there any negatives that you want to flip into a positive? Comment down below.
