The world can be our oyster, beloveds. That is, of we work for and towards the things we want/seek/need.
Life does not owe us a thing. The 🌎 world has no interest in serving your needs. Truth be told, beloveds, we are not the center of the universe.
We are one of many. Unique. One of one.
Our world of what we make it. We can serve ourselves anything we want. We are the ones who have to put forth the effort. Life doesn’t owe us anything. Our families don’t owe us. our friends don’t owe us. We don’t own them.
Folks give and do what they can because they choose to. We are give each other enough room to determine whether to be helpful or not. I’m doing my best to give folk permission to be there for me or not. All I can do is ask for support and wait patiently for whatever comes. Or not.
I have secretly been having quite the pity party. Upon realizing this, I made myself get out of bed. Life doesn’t owe me a thing. I owe life every bit of effort and tries that I have within me.
I stopped blaming the old me for not being able to get the new me over the finish line. Her time is passed. It is up to me now. No matter what happened in the past, all I have now is a present to make something of my future. All I have is today. Now. These moments.
I’m trying to let myself off the hook. I keep having to forgive myself for all I have not done over the years. I keep telling myself to be patient with me.
Be patient with you. Forgive yourself if you need to. Start again as many times as you have to.
asking for A Friend,
