You do you baby.

Reflecting, deflecting, accepting, growing, healing, moving on, it's all a part of this life that we lead. When faced with the reality of your life, are you happy with what you got? Are you comfortable with the relationships that you nurture? How about the actions you display? All in all, however you decide to live your life it is entirely up to you.

In my healing journey, my eyes have been opened to a lot of things that no longer serve my healing process. Whether that be my routines, relationships with others, or my way of thinking. Last year I started cleaning house on things that no longer serve my happiness and peace.

This has been a big process in itself. When trying to do better, you will lose friends, you will lose relationships with family members but that only goes to show that they weren't supportive of your healing journey to begin with.

Personally, I feel as though I have become less tolerant of B.S. since starting this adventure. If I have to question whether or not you are going to be a good asset in my life, I probably don't need you in my life to begin with.

Growing is something that will always be constant, things will always change whether it be good or bad. I find myself trying to hold back my anger when triggered and somedays the anger wins, but the truth to it is that there will always be another day to try again. You cannot let idiots ruin your day, or your life for that matter.

I do a lot of reflecting on my previous words and actions and often times compare it to how I would handle things now. You have got to give your past some grace I've learned. Your past self doesn't know the things that you know now, so be kind to yourself.

Accpeting thing for what they are, this isn't always the easiest thing to be tasked with. Acceptance of what has been and what will be is something that I am working on in this present moment. Sometimes you come down to the hard fact and reality of what you need to accept and move on from. For me, I am trying to accept the past actions of others that caused some of my greatest hurt. I know that I will need to forgive those who caused my pain and accept that it happened, as nothing can be changed from it besides my attitude and outlook on the situation.

I am the first to admit that I haven't been the best human being I could have been. I have been toxic, I have said hurtful words and acted on hurtful actions. But this isn't about what I did in my past, it's about what I will do in my future.

This is your life, you do you baby.

Peace & Love
