THE INDIVIDUAL

Everyone’s path isn’t the same, so don’t look for the “answers” in others, but look for guidance and reasoning from those whom you trust. Don’t be influenced, but be inspired by others. Too often we see others “succeeding” or  “happy” and we make ourselves believe that that success or that happiness is ideal, when 10 times out of 10 they took a different path than you did. Somewhere along the line we forgot about the “individual” and become more in-tune with the “influencer” and it seems as though we are straying further and further away from the individual. I just want to remind you that there is creativity, originality, and most importantly boundless wisdom in your own path, please don’t forget that your steps are supposed to be different for a reason. No one person is like you, you are unique for a reason, embrace your individuality. 

LOST & FOUND

I found love in the midst of finding myself. 

I found happiness in the midst of gaining mental wealth. The kind of wealth that last through generations, the kind that doesn’t fold nor is imitation. 

The kind that I’ll be able to pass onto my kids without limitations. 

I found stableness in the midst of moving around, I realized that what holds me up isn’t the ground, but the sureness in myself that I have found. 

It’s the thoughts that run through my head, it’s also the words by others that are left unsaid. 

I found that what I think of myself is what’s the most important and the genuine connections I’ve made without forcing it. It’s the loved ones that I keep around, the ones that see no other choice but to hold me down.

In the midst of finding myself, I found love. The love that I always needed, love that was so strong that it was there for me all along. 

I just had to find myself so that I could see, that LOVE had always been apart of my destiny. 

LIFE AFTER SELF

The road to self discovery, self acceptance and self love is very lonely, so lonely that you may begin to get used to the feeling of being alone. One may begin to feel comfort in being alone which is why I believe that this is one of the hardest phases to get out of after discovering yourself, it’s hard to get back into the groove of allowing other people and things into your life. At the same time, it is important that you do allow people and things back into your life after you’ve discovered who you are because 9 times out of 10 they are meant for you, they are either your blessings after your long road of self discovery or your testaments to know that you’ve truly discovered who you are. Either way it goes, it is pivotal that you allow and accept love, help and compassion from others after taking time to yourself instead of being closed off and stuck in “self mode”. It is okay to be open, it is okay to allow others to love you, and it is okay to allow others to get to know you. You never know what your impact is on someone else’s life, sometimes you may be their inspiration or motivation to discover themselves, if you stay closed off you’ll only defeat the purpose of self discovery. Share your knowledge, share your truths and share your self love so that others may be able learn from you and discover themselves too. 

RESET.

Take time when it’s needed and even when it’s not needed. Your mind and body communicate with you on many levels. The difference between the two is that your body will eventually shut down on its own if it is drained, but the mind will run rampant as long as you allow it to. This is why it’s important to be in tune with your mind and your spirit, you have to know yourself enough to know when it’s time to allow yourself to breathe, reflect and reset. Often times we clog our minds with all the unnecessary things we retain over time and never allow it time to reset so that we can make room for new information. Just like our bodies get rid of waste and impurities involuntarily, we have voluntarily to do the same with our minds. Your mind is your strongest asset, treat it like you would treat your body. Your physical look is definitely the first impression, but your mind is what allows people to be intrigued by you, it keeps the attention. It is up to you to treat it right. 

MIND SET.

I choose to keep my life a mystery because I know it’ll be more accurate when I tell people about MY history. 

I choose to keep myself grounded instead of afloat, I never found comfort in basing my life on “hope”. 

I choose to move in silence because silence has always been the best noise to me.

I choose to express myself when I feel emotions because it allows me to understand me. 

I choose to remove myself from things and people without remorse because i know that in the end I’ll be the only one who took this course. 

I choose to love hard because love doesn’t come easy, I never understood how people could just love “freely”. 

I choose the people I associate with carefully because I know that energy is something that should be given sparingly.

In the end, I chose you because with all the things I choose you still find a way to choose me, while still choosing you too. 

Attachment

Ever since we were young we were taught attachment; we were attached to our parents, our favorite stuffed animals, our favorite foods, etc. We were never taught to let go of things/people and I believe the reason for that is because life is supposed to teach you those lessons. As you move throughout your life you will come across certain things or people that are attachments to lessons, meaning they are placed in your life in order to learn from experiencing these things/people. They draw you in with such high demand that your focus and interests are invested in them so much that you begin to become attached to them without even knowing it. The problem with this is that, attachments can easily turn into distractions without proper knowledge of why you are attached. With that being said, I want to encourage you to pay attention to your “attachments” and take time to figure out why you are so attached, why these things/people have your interest, when you do this you’ll be able to learn more about yourself and whether your attaching onto things/people for the benefit of becoming wiser or if they are really benefitting and pouring into you as a person. You’ll know if it is healthy for you if you can walk away from the attachment and still feel the same when you decide to come back to. You will never gain independence of the mind if you’re attached to things/people that don’t serve you well, you’ll never be able to fully think and act for yourself. 

TWISTED THOUGHTS

Get to know me and not my body. 

My body is only the vessel for my heart and without my soul activated it won’t even start. 

My heart and soul are in control of where my feelings go. No matter how hard you try to get deep in my insides it’s still my heart and soul that keeps me in drive. 

No Climax or orgasm can keep me hooked, but a man that feeds my soul will have me shook. 

Because someone like that is hard to find and I’m almost sure that he’d be sublime. 

From that moment on I’d belong to him, surrendering every part of me without a murmur or a hymn. 

Listening to every word he’d say and giving him much more than 4 play. 

He’d deserve more than what my body could offer, so I’d unlock the depths of my soul so he could assume his role. King of all kings, and most importantly, ruler of my mind, body, and soul.
