Wants vs. Needs

We as people tend to want a lot of things throughout our lives, whether they are things we know we can obtain or outlandish wants that we know we’ll never get in life. The problem with wanting things comes in to play where your “needs” are being overshadowed by your “wants”, your wants become your main focus and you forget who you are, which in turn leads you to forget about what you actually need. Your needs and your wants can manifest simultaneously, but if you don’t know yourself enough to know what you need in life you’ll only be manifesting your wants. When your wants are the only thing your trying to manifest, they become your sole focus in life and most the time our wants aren’t necessities to us because when we get them we don’t know how to handle them properly. If you haven’t noticed already, the things that we need in our life we handle with care because they are beneficial to us, we know their worth. 9 times out of 10 the things we want aren’t going to benefit us in our current lives so we wouldn’t be able to handle them with the care they need/deserve. Your wants can and will turn into your needs when you are ready to handle them with care, until then figure out what you need and value it, the more you learn about value and the things that are beneficial to you the more blessings you can take on. 

TWISTED THOUGHTS

I don’t see my imperfections as flaws anymore, they’ve become my own perfections. When I stare at myself in the mirror I see a beautiful reflection... 

I see a woman who carries herself with all her might while still fighting off every battle in sight. Even with her war wounds she’s more than worthy, I think of her as “unique” because of the paths she took and her journey. 

She’s becoming her best self starting from the inside out, tweaking the things on the inside before she focuses on the out. 

Slowly stripping away from her flesh and solely focusing on her soul, showing other women that this is the only goal. Radiating like a beam of light, her beauty could blind everyone in site.

This mirror only shows what the eyes can see, but eyes will never be able to measure her inner beauty.

This mirror only shows the skin that protects my soul, the flaws are just a reminder that my insides are still as pure as gold. 

Concrete Thoughts

Stop second guessing yourself, your worth, your talents, and what you deserve. What you believe about yourself is the ONLY thing that matters, therefore if you’re constantly second guessing yourself then you have no concrete thoughts about what you deserve or your worth. This also reflects in the type of people you frequent with and the amount of shit you take on. When you think this way the opinions of others will start to manifest quicker than your own. Try to remember that you are not your surroundings nor your past traumas, you are who you SAY you are, you are who you make yourself out to be, you are the SOLE creator of you. Remember who you are and if you can’t, become who you want to be, you have the ability to do all things. 

TWISTED THOUGHTS

Doing the best I can to stay afloat, while still trying to cope. 

See the ways of this world are more twisted than ever. Men do women wrong and girls hustle men because they think it’s clever.

No one rides their own wave, instead they slow walk on a path that was already paved.

They make it seem like being your own person is hard, as if you wasn’t made with your OWN body parts. Instead we scroll on a digital screen and paint our dreams based off of what we see.

We only see the lives that people wanna show us, which in turn can only switch our focus.

I’m sinking in this crazy world we live in, everyone’s out to get rich and living with no reason. 

TWISTED THOUGHTS

True love never dies 

True love never lies

True love won’t make you cry nor try to pull a wool over your eyes. 

True love supports no matter the sorts.  True love never leads you astray but true love can only be accessed in one way. 

One has to search within themselves to figure out what love is and how it gives. 

It may take a lifetime but true love will wait. True is patient and always willing to participate,

if it’s not true love then it could only be pure hate. 

See there is no in between, either you truly love me for me or you don’t because true love will let you be free but fake love won’t.

Comfort Zone

Your comfort zone is the place where you feel the most comfortable in your thoughts, opinions and actions. Your comfort zone is also the place where your doubts and insecurities lie comfortably. As human beings we can easily get caught up in our comfort zones and become zombies to reality, but we must remember that our comfort zones don’t have enough room for our progress, nor is it a place where we can thrive. Your comfort zone is solely a place where you can hide from reality. In order to stray away from being stuck in our comfort zones we have to place ourselves in situations that allow us to progress and learn as individuals. If we don’t do it ourselves, life will. Put matters into your own hands and take yourself out of your comfort zone before life abruptly does it for you. It won’t be easy to leave your comfort zone but in order to actually be comfortable with yourself from the outside looking in, you must. 

“New Year, New Baggage”

It’s a new year and a new decade but you should still be the same you, just with less baggage. To say “new year, new me” indicates that you haven’t been your true self or you’re transitioning into a “new” person, when in reality you just don’t know who you are. Throughout the years we meet people and we take on their emotional baggage, their baggage mixed with our baggage begins to weigh us down without notice and the longer we hold on the heavier the load gets. As the years go by we take on more and more emotionally damaged people because that’s what you attract when you’re accustomed to emotional damage. In the end you realize that you really haven’t changed you’ve just taken on more dead weight than you could handle, which in turn has caused you to forget who you really are. This year leave the faulty resolutions behind and set realistic goals for yourself for each day, week, and month. Allow yourself room to make mistakes and learn from the mistakes you make. Take time with yourself this year even if that means being selfish, you’ll never be able to attract and hold on to the things you desire in life if you continue to carry too much baggage.
