A post made based on love.
Every day is another day to build upon yourself.
Donât break yourself down from shit thatâs already in the past, that person is dead to you now, donât bring them back.
Love is so strong and is a feeling that combines other emotions ranging from happiness to anger to sadness. I myself have never felt romantic love but that sure as hell has never been how I sought to find love. I found love in other ways but the biggest one I forget to find love in was myself.
Over the years, Iâve really grounded myself in my truth, in my faith, and in my art. It sure as hell took a lot of time and patience but God was always on my side and was always there for me. And in about 2-3 years I finally begin to love myself purely and unapologetically. (Iâll go more into learning to begin the loving yourself journey but for now, letâs focus on love).
These past few months have been so unreal and so full of passion and change for the better. I learned so much about myself and in the process regained and empowered my worth.
I am love. I am truth. I am power. I am Atiya Joe.
Loving yourself is something that canât be reached, itâs not like a goal you can just checkmark and be done. Itâs something that is always evolving and is always changing because you are getting better, you are taking charge of your life, and you are getting better FOR YOU!
I know Iâm only sixteen now but I am so proud of the woman I am becoming. I realize now why the Lord put me in such dark positions and situations because he was preparing me to be the best Atiya I can be. Not for anyone, but FOR MYSELF.
So stay true to you for you and by you.
You are love and you have so much to offer to this world. But you have to put forth the work, the effort, the commitment to yourself to get yourself there. Love is a commitment and the greatest one you can make is to love yourself.
I hope you find your truth soon and I know once you do, youâll become the best fucking person youâll ever know. So go out there and fuck shit up!
You are worth it, so go fucking get it!
