So you complain that life isn't how you want it. Yet, you aren't taking the steps to change not only yourself but your life. You keep repeating the same mistakes and expecting different results. You say you want a career in a specific field, but are you educating yourself on it? You say you won't make the same mistakes your parents did, yet you are. You say you want this dream life, yet you are surrounded by distractions and mediocre people. How is that healthy? And when people call you out on your shit, you lash out in violence, anger, and aggression. Stop playing the fucken victim and change.

In moments when my heart's in pain, I'll pray, I'll cry, amidst the rain. I'll kneel and seek the Lord above, For strength, for grace, for endless love. He didn't bring me here to weep, but to find joy, my soul to keep. So I'll pray until it's time to part, With faith, I'll heal my broken heart.

It's empowering to release yourself from the shackles that hold you down and live life on your terms. Remember, you have the right to follow your passions. Trusting the process and having faith can bring you to new heights. Embrace your truth, manifest your dreams, and believe in yourself. Stay strong and keep moving forward.

You can give someone your entire world, and that will never be enough. So guard yourself because what you give and who you are is precious. It's better to walk alone than be constantly beaten down. You matter, and those who don't respect you shouldn't have access to you.

I am but a shell of the woman that I was with him. That girl turned woman. That woman is evolving into the woman God created her to be.
