“Maybe the journey isn’t so much about *becoming* anything, maybe it’s about unbecoming everything that isn’t really you.”

I’ve spent so many years kind of just floating, drowning, head above water just trying to hold on and ride the tide. The question is… Do we really need more layers on top of this? I think our spirits are so bogged down with all these layers, they’ve become too heavy… not the good kind of heavy, the kind that weighs on you & takes over your being..

Maybe it’s really about peeling all the layers back and revealing what’s underneath, what’s at our core, our purest selves. The renewal happens through the shedding. In the revealing is when the true becoming happens, and eventually it is the beauty of simply being. To exist as you are wholly, fully, unapologetically.

Most people speak about adding layers and denying who you are, I have a different view of it… I think that’s just people running away from their truest selves because their truest self wasn’t so accepted in the environments we grew up in. To constantly be ridiculed for opening your mouth, for sharing what you feel, for having thoughts that differ from the mainstream. To constantly be controlled, molded into a shape you don’t even recognize.

Stop running. Face you, accept you & quite frankly fuck what these people think! Your life is not theirs & their life is not yours.

Be bold in who you are. Own who you are. My only goal in this life is peace & sovereignty, everything else follows, the dreams follow because you’re no longer living as a shell of yourself. When you’re you everything else flows.

Your being isn’t wrong. For so long I think we grow up in environments that constantly try to change us, constantly make you feel guilty for what’s in your heart, for what you’re drawn to, for who you want to be, honestly for simply who you are. & thats not how this life thing works. It’s taken me so long to finally reach a place of…. My being isn’t wrong, I wasn’t made wrong, who I am at my core is not wrong, I was created exactly as I am for a purpose. Every single part. And when I finally stopped denying myself, life flowed, blessings flowed. 

God will reveal what to do through exactly who you are. Life is about constantly becoming & being who you are not who others say you are or who they want you to be. Just by being YOU. We often walk around lost bc we’re trying to just do & do & do, but not actually sitting realizing and accepting who we truly are. It becomes effortless once that’s accepted. There’s so many blocks, so much noise.. Drown it out instead of allowing yourself to drown. Rise up out of the water, take the weights off your ankles and soar baby. Your life is waiting for you. Your people are waiting for you. The lives you will touch by being you are waiting for you, for your story, for your soul.

All this time the threads have been there, I just didn’t realize I have control of the needle. Build the quilt, connect the patches, all the parts of you are connected as much as people try to make you feel like you’re all over the place, they all circle back to the same core traits in you.. Find the connections & flourish ✨

So be… return home to self. Go within so you never have to go without & just remember .. your being isn’t wrong 🤍
