“Do yourself a favor and learn how to walk away. When a connection starts to fade, Learn how to let it go. When a person starts to mistreat you, learn how to move on.. to something and someone better. Don’t waste your energy trying to force something that isn’t meant to be.. Because the truth is.. for every one person who doesn’t value you - there are tons more waiting to love you better. Do better.”

dirty computer: an emotion picture (2018)

A Friendly Reminder

I had this revelation today, that I haven’t been stepping in my purpose as of lately, and that’s a problem. I had to be reminded that I’m not working solely for a check, but that I’m in my field for the benefit of serving the underserved and fighting for the kids that have few resources. It’s on me to get the most out of my career; it’s on me to speak up and decide that it’s time to venture onto a better opportunity when I’m not.

I chose to get my MPA not for the accolades, but for the purpose of being an effective - and credentialed - leader. To be innovative in field full of professional finessers. I aspire to be that Black face storming into White spaces who is always making sure that I won’t be the last one - nor the only one.

People will get into your ear and into your mind if you listen. Doubt will loom if you let it. No’s will turn into final decisions - but that’s only if you forget that a no is just a detour along the way to achieving what you want.

In short, this is a PSA to myself to be tough and remember why there’s a neck under my foot.

If someone has shown you a certain pattern of behavior, believe what you’re seeing. Do not try to minimize or justify what you’ve been presented to conjure up an outcome that’s more soothing. If that is how they operate, accept it.
