Quote
“And I hate to admit it, but I can’t count on a goddamn thing. This is the trauma of being. Mama gon’ die one day. My fathers’ word will unfurl. My brothers’ smile will curl. The mountains will crumble, will move. The sea will stumble, past the levies. Will leave your city in a permanent dusk, you can trust, that the wind will carry your girl to another man’s bed. And that’s okay. I’m learning how to surrender. And that’s okay. I can’t count on tomorrow, but why would I want to? ‘Cause today, today. and only today, you are the oldest you have ever been, and the youngest you ever will be. Know that, this is one small man with one big heart. In this prison. Of seven billion. No happy ending… But God, does it feel good to be here.”
Count on it, (Miles Hodges)

If there is anything in this world that I would like to pass down to my future children it would actually be quite a few things. So I guess I’ll start listing them
1) loving yourself- Yeah cliche I know. But I wouldn’t just tell them to love themselves as if it were something so easy to do...no... To be honest at 24 I’ve learned that self love starts with the parent head. The ability to give your child the space , the confidence, and the knowledge for them to be comfortable with who they are. We were not born with insecurities, fears, doubts, anxiety, no no. They were placed there by the people around us those who God placed in order to protect us. Now i’m not here to place blame on anyone I understand that at the end of the day we are still human and at times our human nature just over takes us and we act carnally. Therefore tearing down our children unintentionally by saying things out of anger, and by taking their cries for help personally instead of being that helping hand that they need.
2) It’s okay to feel- We teach kids that there is no need to cry, to be angry, to be hurt and upset. Sometimes causing us to as we grow older to become numb not really knowing how to fully understand what we feel, why we feel they way we feel, and what we can do to better manage the way we feel. I will tell them that it is okay to cry, it is okay to be angry, it is okay, to feel hurt. Feel it, remember it, and now ask yourself how can I better deal with this so that way I know how to handle this kind of situation better, and not allow it to to over take my mind and lose my peace. Which leads me to number 3...
3) Keep your peace- This my darlings is not easy, rest assured that you will have to fight to keep your peace daily. You will find people who are miserable and will try to bring you down with them do not sink beneath the weight of their misery, instead swim. If I or your father or your siblings or your friends or just people in general does something that messes with your spirit by all means you have every right to walk away in order to keep your peace. I want to remind them that their peace , the peace that passes all understanding only comes from the Most High. So make sure to take the time out and meditate on his promises and the love that he has for you when the world can’t seem to give you what you’re looking for. Which leads me to number 4
4) Keep God First- I will not force you into anything but as my Job as a mother I am called to be your first example of Christ, I am called to teach you in the way you should go, I am call to help become a thinker and not a mere observer of other men’ts thoughts. I will teach you the importance of prayer, and seeking God through the good and bad times, how imperative it is that you are honest with him when it comes to how you feel and in the situations you are in. If you want to hide from me by all means be my guess, ( but I pray I never give you a reason to) remember you can never run and hide from God. He really does care about you and he’s the best person to go to before anyone else. So please keep him at the front of your mind morning, non, and night.
5) Self-awareness- Know yourself enough where you don’t give people the opportunity to try and define you. Be honest about your flaws, be real, and honest in everything that you do. Know your flaws and ask God to help you work on them everyday.
6)The meaning of true love- Corinthians 13 is no joke it is the real deal definition of love. I want you to understand that love is a choice, it’s not a feeling, feelings are fickle and your heart is decietful ( expansion on this will be in #5) so in every relationship decision that you plan to make once again i ask that you remember number 4. Be faithful in the little and great things. pray about someone before you decide to commit to them. God will never steer you wrong.
7) Don’t ever listen to anyone that says listen to your heart-As I stated earlier the heart is deceitful and and lead you astray. Be lead by your mind trust that you are smart enough and that God gave you the knowledge and wisdom to make great decisions.
8) Take inventory of what you feed your mind- The mind is a powerful tool to waste. Don’t waste it on silly little thing. Learn as much as you can about everything you would like to learn about. Speak and think positively at all times. Because there will be times where you will think that you are not good enough and that you are not talented enough and that your not enough of something . But learn to focus on good things, because dwelling on negativity feeds those negative thoughts into full blown monsters that someday you will no be able to control the will in turn control you.
For now my little babies that is the only advice that I can think of at the moment but I also think that this advice is very important. I hope that I never make you feel like less, and that you are more than enough for me. I hope I never make you feel like you are alone and that I don’t understand you. I hope for times when we may bumps heads and I don’t know how to reach you that I remember to consult God and keep unconditional love at the front of my heart, peace, wisdom and understanding before I try and talk to you. I hope that you never feel worthless, I hope you never wish to be dead, I hope you know that my life is so much better with you in it and I never fail to tel each and everyday. I hope that I can be honest and open with you and that you in return appreciate my honesty. I hope i never fail to tell you i love you through the good the bad and the ugly and beautiful times of your life. I hope you understand that life won’t be easy and that some days will be better than others but you remember that your worst days with God are SOOOOOO much better than your best days without him. I hope I practice what I preach to you. and I hope that You love me unconditionally.

Very private people have mastered the art of telling you little about themselves but doing it in such a way you think you know a lot.

Photo









Some of these photos were not taken by me, but by another young lady who enjoys taking photographs as much as I do. I edited these in Lightroom and used some presets that I downloaded online, and tweaked them to the way I liked. I was nervous about these photos to be quite honest with you. Simply for the fact that I’m still pretty new to this and as a (dare I say)”artist” it’s easy to be dissatisfied with your work. You start off thinking it’s great and you’re super excited to share, but stare at it long enough you start to nit pick at everything to the point were you hate it. I feel Like this within every medium, whether it be through music or poetry, or songwriting. But since I don’t really have a following on here, I have deemed this here tumblr page to be my safe space.

Stop talking yourself out of opportunities because you don't feel like you're "ready" yet. It's time. You're ready now.

LIfe as a Twenty Something
I wish someone would've told me that being in my twenties would mean living a life full of anxiety, frustration, doubt, and uncertainty. Whoever told me that these were going to be the best years of my life definitely lied. For the longest time I felt like something had to be wrong with me because I haven't got the slightest clue as to what my purpose is, what I'm meant to do with my life, and where I'm going. Everyone keeps telling me that it's fine but am I wrong for not believing them? If I was a Kardashian then fine you could tell me I have all the time in the world to figure that out. But the reality is i'm not I don't have that Kind of money and I don't have that kind of time. School is expensive as it is and for me to be wondering whether or not i made the right decision in this stage in the game is really disheartening, uncomfortable, and a little frustrating. I'm still in the process of learning myself as a young woman,my wants, my needs, my goals, my personality, the person I want to be, the people I want to surround myself with. If being in my twenties taught me anything it sure as hell taught me a lot about m damn self.. that I know for sure. I'm always growing and learning new things everyday and for that I am grateful. I am not the same person I was three years ago, hell I'm not even the same person I was a year ago, Even when I feel like my life is at a standstill I look back and find something that motivates me to keep pushing even though I can't see the progression. I grow everyday, I grow stronger and wiser everyday, I am more comfortable with who I am and what I can bring to the table everyday. The more I am honest with my self and my situation the more I realize I'm not alone. There are others who feel the same way, who are going through the same exact things as me. Some found their way much quicker than us, and some are coming along. What matters is that you never give up , keep God first, and have faith that one day what your looking for will eventually show up and be 1,000x's better than what you could ever imagine.
