You Know

Isnt it funny how sometimes you talk yourself into situations that YOU KNOW are not the best for you? It may just be patterns that you subconcsiously replay in your life that you have learned from your parents. I realized a few things today about myself that I have always known, but out of love told myself different. Sometimes wanting something to BE, makes us change our ways or ignore our conscious. Understand that growth and change are painful, joyful, and freeing all at once. Don't be timid in expressing what you really feel in order to not offend people - it only hurts you in the end. As I come into my womanhood, I am learning that being selfish is sometimes necessary and REQUIRED in order for me to be content with life. And that doesn't mean that I am a mean or hateful person. Don't settle for what is instead of what could be. YOU KNOW better than anyone else what's best for your heart, mind, and spirit. Seek it, conquer it, and embrace it TODAY.
