OVERDOSE

“Sometimes not telling people anything is a good thing.”

“Life is not about who you once were. It’s about who you are right now, and who you have the potential to become.”

Sometimes people need to believe that when someone is no longer in their life, it’s because something is wrong with the other person. Darling, in some stories, you’re the red flag. Where God is taking them, the baggage attached to you can’t go. He didn’t remove them from your life to save you. He removed them to protect them from you. No matter how your subconscious needs to narrate this, you’re actually the issue. Everybody else isn’t always the problem, you just have to write your story that way, because you can’t face who you truly are behind that facade. The answer is accountability and healing, but you’re too comfortable lying to yourself. The cycle ends with the change you execute.

Is that why you play the music so loud? A beat to drown out the thoughts, sound so high you cannot think, lyrics so close to home you don’t even blink.

I know now, that this how it works.

Stop dictating on people who have a heart that had been massively damaged. You never know what we've been through. Don't act as if you knew everything because you don't. Nobody could understand this feeling. And all we need are ears to listen and a heart that can understand.

"To each their path, to each they journey, according to their own right timing. There is no rule in life that holds us to reach a certain milestone at an exact age or timing. To each their own experiences, and each person blooms differently, which is beautiful. There are 7.7 billion people in the world, do you think they all have the same goal or the same definition of success? do you think they all graduated by the age of 22 or 25? How many people do you even think got to go to college? It is not a fixed template that we have to all adjust our lives to. Absolutely not. Do not compare your journey to anyone else's!!! Walk your own path, with your own steps, write your own story! And remember, it is okay to try again. It is okay to start over. It is never too late. You are gonna make it, the way you are supposed to make it and not the way other people made it. Success looks different from one person to the other. What works well for you does not necessarily work out for others. And if you fail? That's okay! Trial and error is a part of the learning process. Making mistakes is what makes us human, and perseverance is what makes us superhuman.

“When feeling overwhelmed by a faraway goal, repeat the following: I have it within me right now to get me to where I want to be later.”
