As much as it sucks, the people that you love to be around 9 times out of 10 don’t support you. In some cases that maybe completely false, because its all about who you surround yourself with. it’s very important to surround yourself around people who want nothing but the best for you.
I’ve had to eliminate a few people out of my life because they weren’t supportive or encouraging. You need people around you thats going to contribute to your success that wants to see you WIN. We need people in our lives who pushes to be our greatest selves, who wants us to be the best US we can be. We get discouraged when things aren’t happening at the speed we want them to, yes this is true.. thats why it is important to have those supportive people around you to give you that extra PUSH that you need!
I’m grateful to have supportive people in my life who want to see me do MY THANG! lol They encourage me and push me to do great. We all can have that & I want us ALL to have that. I want us ALL to win & be great. We need to uplift & support each other more!
I believe in you and I love every single last one of you all!
Until next time ❤
I’ve been kind of away with my blogging. Truth be told i haven’t been motivated to do so. I’ve been dealing with depression, & i figured i should just take time to focus on myself for a bit and my mental health. I remember a prophet came to our church one Wednesday night after service & asked could she pray for me. She then began to tell my parents that she knew that I dealt with depression.. & i began to think who me? no way, i’m always laughing and joking about something! •But why are you depressed? who did something to you?• Nobody did anything to me, it’s just what i’ve gone through on my own. A lot of small things triggered my depression, rather it be a shirt not fitting because it’s too small and i’m overweight, or no one liking my pictures on facebook or instagram or even simply not feeling beautiful. Truth be told social media is the devil! you see all of these instagram models with the beautiful figures and sometimes it makes you feel like you have to live up to those standards. I’ve known learned that you don’t have to live up to those standards. Half of those people probably aren’t happy with themselves. I AM BEAUTIFUL JUST THE WAY I AM, Small or big! I’ve been taking time and talking to God & spending more time with him. I now know that i’m fearfully and wonderfully made, and that God makes no mistakes. He made me for a reason. I’m truly blessed to serve a God like him, there’s no way i would’ve made it through this without him.
Often times we come across so many obstacles. We allow people to say things to us & do things to us and just stay “Okay” with it. I’m speaking from my experience when I say being nice is not the way to be anymore. People will take your kindness for weakness & you have to be strong enough to see when you are being taken advantage of. In the past (like yesterday lol) I used to allow people to treat me any kind of way & just brush it off. Not only was that not right but it also was damaging me. It damaged me to the point where i felt like well I just really want friends and I don’t care how they treat me. It took me to really open my eyes and see NO YOU DESERVE SO MUCH MORE! Friends? what are those? life is not about making friend, life is about living & being the best you you can be. So every day when I go to text those who’ve wronged me or when I see them on snapchat and I go to snapchat them I always have to remember to keep myself grounded. You can do the same too. Teaching yourself a lesson is one of the hardest things to do. but you have the ability to do whatever it is you desire to do. So don’t send that text, don’t send that dm, don’t send that snap, don’t make that call or facetime call, delete that text message thread. I promise you’ll thank yourself later.
