god granted me the courage to be disliked.
it took me a long time to understand why he placed this big ol’ bag of bravery at my feet & how it would serve my purpose. over time, i realized i need it to break free from a manmade world built on fear, self sacrifice & crippling codependent behavior.
total liberation required me to give up all desire for external validation & allow spirit to guide me along my path regardless of the judgement i receive from others. the less time i spend defending my choices & convincing other people i’m a “good” person, the more time i spend doing what i love to do & growing into the wisest, most authentic version of me. i don’t waste my energy trying to cram myself into a one-size-fits-all box. i have no interest in following the crowd or adopting limiting belief systems designed to control humanity. i’m done with shallow affairs demanding i give up pieces of myself i’d rather keep. i have nothing to prove to anyone & possess zero desire to be understood by others.
i only want to be ALL of me, exactly as god created me. i am wild as the wind & free as a bird. i spend my days by a river in the middle of the forest & feast on watermelon while the sun kisses my skin. i love & laugh & play & pray & feel every emotion arising within me. i dance to the beat of my own heart & revel in my sensuality & trust my intuition & listen to the whispers of my soul because she knows the way home.
man doesn’t get to tell me who i am. only god can do that because he is my maker & the only one i trust implicitly with my life.
i love you.
