A Self Taught Reminder

No one ever seen me the way you do and I’m thankful they didn’t. I’m thankful no one seen me the way I saw myself, and maybe at times I wasn’t the best version of me, as I had to learn how to work through my traumas and find out who I was. Who I wanted to be. What direction I wanted to head in. How would I know what I wanted if I never encountered what I didn’t? How would I know how to love you if I couldn’t even look myself in the mirror?

The past taught me how to love myself, how to be independent, how to push through the hard times, and most importantly live through my authentic self no matter how much doubt was being forced into my mindset. I was rejuvenated, finding a space within myself that always knew who I was meant to be. I found a way to listen to that inner voice that guided me my entire life. It felt that all at once, I decided to still my mind and just listen. I asked the universe to guide me through it all, to reveal the truths to me, to get rid of what no longer served me. I lost friends, I lost lovers. Even the times I tried to take back those friends or lovers the universe reminded me why those things no longer served me, time and time again until I finally walked away. The higher version of myself ascended above their current comprehension, and that is okay. There is nothing wrong with them, and there is nothing wrong with me. People serve a purpose in your life for a season. We help each other grow. It’s almost like going into a new grade. Each sacrifice, each lesson learned, and each thing lost just leads you to the next chapter/level of your life. There are reasons why people cannot see what you see in yourself… they aren’t supposed to.

You see, we give too much value to what others think of us and/or perceive as our destiny or what’s “best for us”… but in reality people are envious, people are striving to be better than you, and no one knows or hears your heart the way you do. That’s why every time we ignore the callings, life throws us a curveball. By ignoring the calling we are choosing the path of least resistance, and society makes us believe that the path that we fear the least, or feel the least amount of resistance towards is the one for us… but more often than not, that’s just a comfort zone. While it’s okay to feel safe, secure and comfortable… it’s not ever the right choice to adverse yourself from your fears. The life you have always dreamed of is on the other side of fear. The belief that we can’t have certain things or that we aren’t ready for them reside in the fear mentality. In a world of scarcity believing that material wealth or lavish living is what we need to work towards, prevents us from the goals our souls sing for.
