It's ok to look at the past, it's a whole other thing to stay there. Don't dwell on the things that you can't change. Learn from them and move on. Only looking back as a reminder and seeing how far you have come. They say you will keep repeating the same lesson until you learn it. It'll come in different ways and forms to see if you have learned. With that being said I'm finally or think at least I'm learning it. It's been a long hard road with lots of heartache 💔 I look at my past and see that the lesson I was supposed to learn follow me to my present. I hurt the ones I love because I Can't let go of things or people who hurt me. I hang on to the idea that everyone is worth showing that they are cared for and loved. What I'm learning is that even though this is true some people don't want to be helped, they don't care how much you do for them and they don't want to change. It doesn't make them bad people but I can no longer cut ...

 The sooner the better ... 🩵 "I’m slowly learning that even if I react, it won’t change anything, it won’t make people suddenly love and respect me, it won’t magically change their minds. Sometimes it’s better to just let things be, let people go, don’t fight for closure, don’t ask for explanations, don’t chase answers and don’t expect people to understand where you’re coming from. I’m slowly learning that life is better lived when you don’t center it on what’s happening around you and center it on what’s happening inside you instead. Work on yourself and your inner peace and you’ll come to realize that not reacting to every little thing that bothers you is the first ingredient to living a happy and healthy life.

 This goes out to my girls that always have my back and want the best for me. Even when we don't see eye to eye, I know you will always be there for me and have by back. We may go days, weeks, months and a year without taking or seeing each other but I know if I needed you that you would be there, you would show up and help me out. Y'all have helped me grow so much and I have learned so many different things from each of you and for that I'm truly grateful. God Blessed me with such a group of women who are amazing that I can't express enough how much it means to have y'all in my life other than, I love each and everyone of you. God Bless You ALL🙏
