you are not just you

you are a collection of the stories you’ve read and the night skies you’ve admired. you are the smiles you’ve given to strangers and the tears you’ve lost on your pillows. you are the lives you’ve touched. you are a mixture of cosmic stardust and earth. you are a descendent of nomads and sailors. you are the flowers you’ve received and the plants you’ve watered. you are the adventures you’ve had and will have. you are your imagination and anticipation. you are not simple. you are a complex yet magnificent product of the life you have lived so far.

You are a terribly real thing in a terribly false world, and that, I believe, is why you are in so much pain.

i’m on PM duty so i didn’t set an alarm and woke up at 830AM. i walked my dog after, then had brunch with my beau and did journal a bit!! it was a much needed reset (the cleaning last night / laundry / walk / brunch with my beau). what matters in the end anyway are those things ~

For anyone telling you being silent is the classy thing to do or the grown thing to do they’re WRONG. You have to speak your truth, express yourself but make sure not to let the situation control you. The key is to express yourself once and only once. Make it clear, articulate yourself well and leave in a mature manner. That’s it. Not saying anything at all will cause you a lot of problems in the long run.

Take this advice from someone that allowed a man to slander her name for 2 years because I thought being silent meant being classy 😒 all it did was let people know they could walk all over me.
