I Trust in Myself to Make the Right Choices
I’m Tired Of Caring, Tired Of The Anxiety Attacks, Tired Of The Hyper Awareness Of Perception And Social Narratives. It’s Time For Me To Do Me With No Apologies…and That Requires Me To Trust Myself.
I Am Confident
This has been the best feeling and the best version of my confidence. It’s rooted in my dreams, my talents, and my work ethic. Being engaged was nice, being pursued by people who see me for who I really am is even better. But there’s been NOTHING like the beauty and ability I’ve grown to see in myself.
I Forgive Others For Their Flaws

I Can Do This
“My Peace & Tranquility & Success & Security Were Always Waiting for Me On The Other Side of Fear , Doubts, Temptation, & a Lack of Discipline. I’m Ready to Go Collect My Packages.”

I’ve Learned That Sometimes “Failure” Is Healthy. Being Able To Walk Away And Fail At Something That Was Only Going To Hurt Or Drain You Is A Good Thing. Discernment And Boundaries Isn’t Failure. The True Failure Is Keeping Around That Which Is Only Going To Poison You In The End.
Heaven
I am impatient and have a chronic fear of failure. However, I am actively working towards not living and existing in a mind state of perpetual fear and worry. But, that is much easier said than done.

Everyone Isn’t Going To Like Me...I Am Not For Everyone, Nor Are They For Me. And That’s Fine! It’s Not Always About Good Or Bad, Not Always About Who Is The Villain And Who Is The Hero. Sometimes, People Just Don’t Vibrate And Operate On The Same Wavelength. There’s Simply Nothing Wrong With That.
Curiouser & Curiouser…
For wanderers, dreamers, and lovers, for lonely men and women who dare to ask of life everything good and beautiful. It is for those who are too gentle to live among wolves.

Chasing The Wind
Maybe That’s The Real Fear...That at the End of the Day...I’m The Reason it all Crumbles & Falls Apart. That At The End of the Day...I’m The Reason the Wind Always Picks Back Up.

Ode to 28
Being 28 During A Time Of Worldwide Uncertainty Has Been A Rollercoaster Of Emotions. Life Had Literally Changed In An Instant And Was Suddenly Filled With So Much Fear And Anxiety. There Were Some Unimaginable Highs But Also Extremely Devastating Lows. But To Be Totally Honest...I’m So Unexplainably Grateful For Each And Every Moment. Especially The Lows. Every Low I Experienced Lead To A High I Never Before Have Been Able To Fathom.
Turns Out…Perfect Can Be Easy.

But It’ll Be Better in the Morning…
I just want to be WEAK for once. I WANT TO BE WEAK. I WANT TO BE WEAK. I’M TIRED OF BEING STRONG. IM TIRED OF BEING THE SUPPORT. I want to be the dependent and not the caretaker. For once, I want to be someone’s priority. I want that so fucking BAD.

“It usually takes a while for people to warm up to me and I’m usually only open and transparent with my closest friends. But….2020 is the year of clarity and change. So, In honor of that, I figured I’d open up to you and give you a couple quick facts about me. “
