Note to self: sometimes it’s good to just get out of your head! I often get hopelessly lost in there... thanks @be_free_son @howsthatcorazon @jesslizette @quincyh @tynanallan I had a great time sharing life with you the other night! 📷 @tynanallan @coffee.with.creatives (at New Central Library - Opening Nov. 1, 2018) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bp7virRBk-d/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=12p6zvqqjxp2i

Confession, I don’t always feel as comfortable as I look. Confidence is found when you stand against your ego. #getuncomfortable #yyc #micdrop #speaklife #encouragement (at Cafe Koi) https://www.instagram.com/p/BpkQwqwh9oU/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=oxj2wztcc5wm

Can you still see the shadow of your 🖤 in my eyes? (at Calgary, Alberta) https://www.instagram.com/p/BoqF0zKhF1Y/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=13onzfa3k57na

How do you view the pain you’ve been through? From my experience, as long as you continue to talk like a victim, you will forever remain a victim (btw, that principle extends far beyond heartbreak). Don’t ignore the lessons that you can only learn in the storm. As they say: “calm seas never make for a skilled sailor.” You are far stronger than you realize and you are never given more than you can handle. • • • • • • • • • • • • • #quotestoliveby #createeveryday #creatives #lifeofanartist #relationshipadvice #lovequotes #relationshit #poetsofig #minimalove #thinkpostive #positivemindset #minimalism #spiritualgangsta #naturalhealing #letgoandletgod #raiseyouefrequency #soulwisdom #highvibrations #vibratehigher #bodymindspirit #creativecommunity #selfloveclub #spokenwordpoetry #poetry https://www.instagram.com/p/BoO9wwzgHdf/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1nanrbuw8id1s

Think before you speak and take everything you hear and read with a grain of salt, whether it’s from your best friend or a post in your social media feed. There are two sides to every coin, every face, every page, and every story (even our own). Above all, seek wisdom and truth, and actually stand for them. #realtalk #thebiblecanbegangsta #snakesbeware #fakenews

I think this is what a lot of us do when we get hurt, myself included: we experience pain and we seek immediate relief, we focus so hard on our healing and coping mechanisms, we look to blame something. We tell our friends, looking for sympathy, reassurance, and justification. We try to be “better versions of ourselves” in an attempt accept ourselves when we are feeling rejected, we close off and get jaded so we don’t get hurt there again. We seek revenge... Whatever the mechanism, the truth is, until you truly diagnose and understand the problem, finding a solution is irrelevant... If you are resonating with this, if you are going through something or have been through something but aren’t sure how to truly find that healing, if you want to know more about my story and how I have gone through that process, reach out. I’ll keep it real, I’ll keep it confidential, I’ll keep inviting you to #walkwithme Have an AMAZING Sunday everyone! One love. • • • • • • • • • #sundayquotes #quotestoliveby #lifeadvice #healingquotes #yyc #lifecoaching #bestlife #betterman #selfhelp #betterwoman #sundaywisdom #growthmindset #strongestversionofyourself #thetruth #god #faith #fitness #motivationalquotes #whatdoesntkillyou
