I feel like the photo really speaks for itself... . But I wanted to share this with you all, so you have a better idea of me... . Of who I am... . What we go through does not define us... . We define ourselves... . And we usually reach that definition, after we’ve gone through enough life experiences to truly understand what is important... . And I don’t mean important to the world, or society... . I mean what’s important to us... . For example... when I was still homeless, and doing heroin everyday, it’s because THAT is what was important to me... at the time... As much as it hurts to say, that’s true... . I didn’t believe that then, and I would of never admitted to that... But it was true... . That’s why I chose to do that... instead of something else... . I needed to see that in myself, and really understand it, to be able to grow through it... . I’m sharing this to hopefully reach someone who needs it... . To uplift them, and reassure them, that this isn’t the end, no matter how bad things may seem... . Don’t run from your issues, insecurities, or whatever it is that’s holding you back from being where you wanna be, and doing what you love... . You have to go head first, straight into it. . You have to steer the boat straight into the waves... . If you want to make through the storm to the other side... . . . . . . . . . #liveyourbestlifenow #affectchange #bethechangeyouwanttosee #inspirationforyou #celebratelifeeveryday (at Brentwood, Los Angeles) https://www.instagram.com/p/BvP-GzjnaVs/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1bg6jdhox9ppv

Build them up well enough that they won't be afraid to do it again.

I was sitting on my couch this morning thinking back to when I was around 15 and at that age where boys piqued my interest. I remember a conversation that I had with my dad that went a little something like this "Candice, men will always be there. It doesn't matter which continent in the world you go to. You don't have to be special to get their attention you just have to be a woman. Focus on who you are and the things you want to achieve in this world, while doing that you will learn and grow and the right man will not only love you for your best asset, which is your mind, but he will accept you and add value. You will also learn to understand the kind of man that will be an equal to you and SEE you as one. Don't sell yourself short, focus on you, the rest will follow" While pondering on that, it occurred to me that if women could only use the amount of energy, preening, value that they do on acquiring the "male" to see them and instead used it to build up, support and encourage other women whilst in pursuit of building their empires, we would finally have an opportunity to Affect Change in a positive way and become Inspirational role models to the next generation of women. Day by day I read news feeds from women, even myself, where we complain about the males we are surrounded with but what are we doing to change that? What are we doing to change the way we see each other? Women Compete for the affection of men, why not compete in a positive way to affect change in the way we see ourselves and our fellow women and most importantly, the things we can teach young girls. Change starts not tomorrow or the day after. It starts today. What are WE prepared to do about it? Be the Change you wish to See! 🙏
