Faith...

Faith...



Hello everyone, I don't know about everyone else but this week I am TIRED. I just keep thinking of sleeping and binge watching my favorite Netflix show all while knowing there are things that need to be done. I had to encourage myself everyday this week to push through so I hope this blog post motivates you to do the same. 


There are some days in my life where I say forget school, work, and my personal life.  I get to a point where adulting starts to overwhelm and frustrate me. These are the days where my energy tank is extremely low. As women I feel we have this thing called "The Superwoman Syndrome". This is when we have so much going on that we feel the pressure of making sure everything is perfect and we have to be in control at all times. I know my whole life I've had this syndrome and there was no break for me, I just wanted to keep going and going. In my head, I have to be the best of the best and if I'm not then I have failed myself. I used to never believe in failure but believed in being perfect which led me to fail plenty of times. I was so uptight all the time, wanted everything to be a certain way 24/7, never loosened up, and this all happened because I wanted to be perfect.  I then realized I needed to let go of the idea of being perfect.

College gave me a wake up call and I realized there is no way I can be perfect. There were so many trails and tribulations that came my way. First, I did not know who I was. I did not have any self-esteem, I was lost, I was on my own for the very first time ever, classes were overwhelming, and  I was also trying to figure out how to balance school and a social life. During this time, college taught me how to have faith. I learned that in life there will be times you want to give up, you are tired and frustrated, but you have to always walk by faith and not by sight. When you are not walking by faith you are walking blindly. There is no such thing as perfect and you should never put pressure on yourself to feel perfect. The work you put in now will come to light. Remind yourself how great you are, even on your toughest days. There is never a way on how us woman get things done but just know we will get it done with every mountain that comes our way. 

I want all women out there right now to feel motivated. You can get through these rough days, weeks, or even months. You just have to have faith in knowing there are greater things ahead. Faith will push you through and get you through. To all of my women, you will make it into any program you want to get into, you will get that job, you will start that business, you will get those A's, you will be the best mother in the whole world, and you are the best mother in the whole world. I just want to SHOUTOUT ALL MY YOUNG MOTHERS OUT THERE DOING THE DAMN THING!! Yall are killing it and doing an amazing job. Everyone that views this blog I want you to know YOU ARE DOING THE DAMN THING AS WELL. I want to SHOUTOUT ALL MY COLLEGE STUDENTS!! YOU GOT THIS! All you have to have is Faith in knowing you are almost to the finish line. Just know what you are sacrificing now will be worth it in the end. Being in my twenties is a really awkward time; being in college, working, learning new things about myself everyday, and with my feelings and emotions changing constantly. My twenties feel like I should have it all together. Then I realize I am only 20 and there is so much more to learn so I won't have it all together right now. With the process of growth you have to have faith because with growing and transitioning you never know where God is taking you. I want to applaud everyone that wakes up bright and early every morning, accomplishing your gaols, going for what you want in life, fighting battles daily, staying strong, holding things down, getting to know yourself daily, working full time, in school full time, just getting shit done. I applaud you because this thing called life is not easy but you are going through it so effortlessly. I see you, and you should see yourself too. Understand you will never get through life changes with the mindset of being perfect but you get through it by having faith. You can continue to do this just  never lose your Faith.

Thank You, NEXT

Heartbreak comes in many different forms for me it came from catching my significant other getting hotel rooms with someone else. Heartbreak came from the boy who took my virginity and left the next day, or the boy who broke up with me a week before prom, or the boy who put his hands on me. Heartbreak also came from the lying, the verbal abuse, the disloyalty, and always seeming to get left or falling out from each other in the worse way. Heartbreak came from falling in love with my best friend and having to leave that toxic relationship three years later. Heartbreak for me wasn't just someone that broke up with me, but from trusting these people with my heart, placing my heart in their hands and feeling them crush it day by day. Heartbreak came from me giving multiple chances only for them to go back and do the same thing again. The worst pain of all was losing myself at the end of it all and that little girl that was filled with love, innocence, peace, happiness, kindness ...
