All of this right here #Repost @messinabottle with @get_repost ・・・ Hey MESSengers! 💌 💌 I think for the longest I forced things to work even if they didn’t fit like a puzzle piece that didn’t belong. Remember as a kid forcing a corner into the wrong piece and getting frustrated that it wasn’t working. Sis, it’s just not the right fit. I forced relationships, friendships, family, etc, because I really wanted IT to work! I wanted the Cosby’s life (we seen how that turned out). The way I envisioned Thanksgiving is going with my husband or significant other to dinner at my parents or their family’s winter cottage home in the suburbs of where ever, we would be greeted by a big white shepherd dog and we all sat under the fireplace until it was time to gather at the dinner table, laughing over Guinness eggnog and indulging in curry and oxtails. But instead, I’m passing by family, saying a quick HI and BYE, maybe grab a plate, let my son play for a second or two, so that the wrong thing isn’t said to the wrong person. Pick your battles, don’t force it if it doesn’t fit. I was in my feeling about the husband and significant other I don’t have (www.manifestmyhusband.com), but I quickly checked myself and decided to go where I will be happy. Go where I would feel free, not pressured, and not biting my lip and tongue. I’ve learned to not force relationships that don’t work. The only person it will harm is you. Don’t compromise your happiness just to let a puzzle piece work. The only thing I’m forcing is my jeans over my ass; not friends, and definitely not relationships.- Kalilah Wright, owner + founder, Mess in a Bottle #mondayMESSage #MONDAYMESS #morningmotivation #morningMESS (at Duluth, Georgia) https://www.instagram.com/p/B5TDR1nJwnl/?igshid=1dhto3ux8ne2g
