May: The outro

Wow, we are literally about to be six months into 2018. I'm not sure how I feel about that. Time seems to be slipping through our fingers like sand does, and we have no possible way of slowing it down. I guess at this point in the year the only thing we can do with so called limitless time is to use it wisely. Take the time to reflect and make the changes that are needed. Speaking of reflection, let me update you guys on how emotionally driven my month was.

This month has been the most awakening month thus far. I've been extremely grateful for all of the things, people, and opportunities that I have came across. I've been acknowledging my growth in spirit, poetry, and writing in general. Allowing myself to stand tall on my pedestal of self love. Ya girl even bagged TWO jobs doing what I love. The Soulful Tea is flourishing in a way that I did not expect, and I've been reaching new levels of inspiration and motivation. So many wonderful things have been going on for me, and I am truly blessed. With blessings comes change too. We can not deny that! When you acknowledge your highs, do not neglect your lows. I'm not sure if I should be calling these rough patches "lows" , but for a lack of better words that is what we'll be sticking with.

Throughout the month of May, I have been trying to figure out my place in people's lives. More specifically, my place in my loved ones and friends' lives. I find myself creating expectations of how my relationships (platonic and romantic) should go, and when they don't live up to those expectations exactly when or how I expect them to; I panic a little bit. I mean who doesn't want things to go as they originally planned? I've been having a hard time with change, and knowing that God (or the universe whatever rocks your boat) has this way of shifting your journey at any time to show you exactly what you need to learn at that moment. It doesn't matter if you're ready or not. Its like we're constantly in Boot camp, and our souls are receiving well needed training to continue growing. Boot camp is far from easy, but the trick is to keep a steady breath, remind yourself that it won't last forever, and growth is guaranteed.

As I leave the month of may, I'm taking some very key lessons into June.

1. Remain grateful for the small things, even the rough patches.

2. Change only means growth. Breathe through it. Stay grounded.

3. Everything that happens in our lives has a higher purpose.

I am speaking growth, spiritual and financial abundance into the month of June. We will be having a bomb summer filled with beautiful memories, great food, new people, endless oppurtunites, and turnt nights (because we deserve those too). I assure you the way you entered this summer will not be the same way you leave.
