winter is coming

the taste of smoke on your breath 

lights a fire into the fragments of my soul

i get high through you 

a match of gasoline oozing 

for the days i’d go cold

fill up soon because we all know the cold season is upon us 

& our love could warm a thousand winters

on today’s theme of self-forgiveness. it’s a process. it’s a balance! let your intuition guide you. we are our worst critics. if you’re doing the best you can, try not to judge your efforts.

don’t compare progress or timelines. people move at their own pace. they will change when they feel it is necessary to their own growth and evolution. • • • • #revelation #lessons #realization #prose #inspiration #motivation #awakening #selflove #selfcare #selfreminder #growth #progress #manifest #loveyourself #spilledink #raisahaque #writings #prose #dailymotivation #thegoodquote #words #dailyinspiration #writers #instapoet #writings #poetrysociety #writerscommunity https://www.instagram.com/p/CKNyHu_AWHh/?igshid=8h1dn1j6xszx

when you fear or dismiss the success of other people , you have to look at what’s causing those triggers. people are mirrors. it’s your own fear of success that’s keeping you to play small. sometimes it’s easier to block our own blessings due to being fearful of how great you really can be. so when others win, it triggers us but also gives us permission to go after our dreams too. sometimes all you need is permission but you have to give that to yourself first. accept and love yourself first. be okay with what you’re good at and what you bring to the table. build enough confidence to know that you can make it through any storm. any insecurity comes down to having faith and confidence within yourself. it never happens overnight but you can decide what and who you do it for. you always get to decide how you want to show up. ✨✨✨ https://www.instagram.com/p/CID8J5XAagX/?igshid=11h3m5l2cugj4

you are alive and here. stop living in the past or worrying about the future. the now has all the answers. you have so much life to live and so much love in you. awaken the parts that died in you. come home to yourself. 🐚🌊🤍 https://www.instagram.com/p/CGvL9AoAQkE/?igshid=kncpw71ijqsq

maybe this is the optimist in me but truly believe this 😊♥️ nothing is ever truly bad. we have bad and good things happen to us ofc but everything that happens is for your own good or for those around you. always make your decisions based on the highest good! #perspective • • • • #revelation #lessons #realization #prose #inspiration #motivation #awakening #selflove #selfcare #selfreminder #growth #progress #manifest #loveyourself #spilledink #raisahaque #writings #prose #dailymotivation #thegoodquote #words #dailyinspiration #writers #instapoet #writings #poetrysociety #writerscommunity https://www.instagram.com/p/CFIuTzAg08B/?igshid=1636jmwd3gzen

breathe on it. meditate on it. close your eyes. light emerges after darkness. you will find your way. give yourself the inspiration you need and don’t be afraid to ask for help along the way. (at San Francisco, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/CEX_E7Fpx4T/?igshid=1r5j8o5xjigqs

just remind yourself. it’s okay! life happens. i would suggest making a list of all the awesome things you’ve done so far in life and you’ll see just how great you are. also, any growth or change may spark feelings of not being aligned so don’t take the confusion to heart. the important thing is to never judge yourself and accept every stage of life that comes. continuously nourish your mind and body with good things. we are our own biggest critics and get in our own way but trust me you’re more amazing than you think you are!!! you’re capable and worthy and here for a reason. ask your friends/fam.🤍 https://www.instagram.com/p/CEP49fHJEEF/?igshid=rp20o1852ydp

A little late to posting but thank you so much for the interview @keanaaguilalabra & publication @vietnameazy. These answers are just from my observation of living in the Bay Area. It really does start local and artists, entrepreneurs, & creators are truly the backbone! Not all art is a commodity though. Anyways, there’s still so much to be said about the influence of art within Bay Area culture though. Link in bio if you want to read more. Lmk your thoughts! 💚🤍🤎 https://www.instagram.com/p/CEM5D5yp98b/?igshid=a5zm7905rvlh

sometimes you have to backtrack to get back on track. don’t punish yourself for anything you do. keep learning about yourself, never judge the moment, and trust that you can change your behavior at anytime. (at San Jose, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/CDplN7HJLB_/?igshid=1frn13fvwzhci

the habits you set today determine your tomorrow. do things today that your future self will thank you for. choose well. choose wisely ✨ https://www.instagram.com/p/CDnOrVWpI9A/?igshid=1t7p0g15wbcy9

did you forget the nights i prayed for you? when the wind blows over and all hell breaks loose, who do you turn to? as if my love is conditional don’t you know i give with grace don’t you know god made me this way https://www.instagram.com/p/CDhg0p_J2RJ/?igshid=1cc5smqffl5lh

i could not rest the demons in your mind
the addictions weighed heavy on your soul 
our love mirrored pure gold and matching pearls 
it was old and new at the same time 
i wore the farsali oil, the one that you liked 
smooth skin and a rough heart 
maybe the intensity killed you 
maybe i wanted it to 
maybe just maybe we’ll meet again in a different lifetime

“Rejection is just redirection to your souls highest calling” -Sahara Rose 😭🙏🏽 it’s all part of the plan. Y’all I’ve been rejected so many times in diff areas of life (schools, jobs, guys, sports, friends) you name it!!! it is what it is. I’m so thankful though. you have to be thankful through it all. there are many reasons as to why something may not be working for you. it’s not your time, it’s not meant for you, you are meant for something else, OR keep trying! self awareness is KEY. know what’s best for you. when you make it a big deal, it will be a big deal. never lose sight, never lose hope. keep working towards your goals. keep pushing forward. peace & love ❤️ • • • • #revelation #lessons #realization #prose #inspiration #motivation #awakening #selflove #selfcare #selfreminder #growth #progress #manifest #loveyourself #spilledink #raisahaque #writings #prose #dailymotivation #thegoodquote #words #dailyinspiration #writers #instapoet #writings #poetrysociety #writerscommunity https://www.instagram.com/p/CDaFj8ipwDx/?igshid=11uunzzvhs4za
