“You are sooooooooooooo strong!”
“You are strong.”
The INSTANT you hear this, beloveds, stop the speaker in his/her/their tracks.
This is just code language for “I can’t be bothered with what’s going on with YOU. YOUR issues are too much.”
Your heart is much too precious, to continue to bearing burdens, alone. Let the folks in your life, who say they love you, love you on your darkest days. What use are they, if they are only around, at THEIR convenience and have nothing else to do with their time?
Your heart is in need of care, as well. Stop dismissing what your heart needs. Let folks know you are struggling. Those who truly love you WILL be there for you. Those who see you as a transactional relationship will either gaslight your needs or ghost you. Either way, you will know what peeps need to be escorted to the door.
The bible says, when we are weak, He, meaning God, is strong for us. Stop hiding your weakness. The strongest thing you will ever do is allow your heart to be open and honest.
An open heart leaves itself open for rejection, dismissal, disdain and all kinds of things. That said, an open heart leaves itself open for sooooooooooooooooooooo much love there is scarely room to contain it.
Life is short, beloveds.
Lean on His Strength. Lean on the strength of friends and fam, who care. If you don’t yet have a posse, well, that’s YOUR fault. I offer my love and support on the daily. Take full advantage. I do.
Strength is, at times, overrated. Some of my most precious moments have been leaning on my wombie, my big sis, my big bro, my girl who makes THE best backgrounds for my pieces to post on Instagram, sitting on The Father’s Lap, yakking endlessly to Jesus about absolutely nothing.
In this life, in which we all have just one, we are all we have got, but we are all we shall need, don’t you think? I think so.
Be encouraged. Put your superman(woman) cape in the dry cleaners and fall dramatically into the arms of a young, muscular marriage material boo. So long as he is not mine!…lol.
Be well,
Cassandra
