Heaven

God, please tell me this isn't how it's suppose to go.

Black women: please take care of yourselves today. Social media is filled with reminders that people only wanna care about us after we die. do something you love, something that brings light to your life, you deserve to be happy.

My home will be a home with no loud anger, no explosive rage, no slamming doors or breaking glass, no name calling, shaming or blackmail. My home will be gentle, it will be warm. It will keep my loved ones safe. No fear, no hurt and no worries.

Chore Scorpion: I come from the toughest meanest place you can imagine. I want to be gentle, I want to die gently, but It seems that when life gets hard I have to get harder to match.

Couplets by Maggie Millner

[intimatum]

“My fear of being real, of being seen, paralyzes me into silence. I crave the touch and the connection, but I’m not always brave enough to open my hand and reach out. This is the great challenge: to be seen, accepted, and loved, I must first reveal, offer, and surrender.”

On this day, I claim the following:

1) getting into my graduate program, and having the support and funds to fully relocate ✨

2) Seeing where things go with *****, I sense potential there for romance, as well as a feeling i can’t shake. Something tells me this will be good for me. ✨

3) ease on my mothers heart. she has worked so hard for so long, and now is the time for her to rest and allow me to take care of her✨

4) happiness to my family and friends. as vague and generic as this may be, heavy hearts have been surrounding me for many months now. depression has plagued my life in many different ways & outlets, and now is the time for my loved ones to feel the light in their hearts. ✨

5) relieve my extended family of what is not serving them. whether that is addiction, lifestyle choices, and individuals who are stunting their spiritual, religious, and emotional growth. ✨

6) with it being 2/22/22, I hope to adjust into the woman i’ve lost & have not seen in a while. the pandemic has impacted me in one too many ways. the woman i once knew and adored is drowning in my heart, and today is the day i begin her rescue mission. ✨

Although manifesting and praying can be done at anytime, there is something about this day that is pushing me to do better, and rebuild the confidence that was once lost a very long time ago. For what is good for me, may in remain in my life for a long time. For what is bad for me, i trust in God and the universe to remove it from my path.
